99% of deployed solar systems in California are stupid. They don't have any battery storage and they don't operate during a power outage. The problem is they're using the wrong kind of transfer switch system. The ones that allow grid, generator, batteries, and solar are more useful than the grid-dependent ones that were deployed. If NEM 3 is another grid-dependent "solution" that doesn't work during a power outage, then it continues to not be in the interests of the customer.

Without storage, grid tie system are not removing high carbon emitters, but in the contrary displacing nuclear and hydro low emission base load while promoting dispatchable high emission natural gas turbines
