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.
What should installers verify about NEM 3.0 in a solar-plus-storage design?
Energy management depends on when solar is produced, when the site uses energy, how exports are credited, and how batteries are dispatched. The best control strategy can change with utility tariff, region, season, and customer goals.
Practical design considerations
- Separate energy capacity, power output, backup duration, and load priority; they are related but not interchangeable.
