What does NEM 3.0 mean?
NEM 3.0 is California’s updated net billing framework that changed how exported solar energy is compensated for many new residential solar customers.
Why did NEM 3.0 make batteries more important?
Under lower export compensation, storing solar for later use can be more valuable than exporting it at midday. That makes battery efficiency, control, and system architecture more important to project economics.
