FWIW, there's already a $10/mo minimum monthly charge, and a $0.02-$0.03/kWh non-bypassable charge for all energy consumed from the grid in NEM 2.0. So even a net-zero solar customer always pays $10-15/mo or so.
The only reason why some solar customers pay zero is that they _significantly_ overproduce (export more than they use) and overproduction is compensated at the wholesale rate (typically $0.03-$0.04/kWh for PG&E), not the retail rate ($0.11-$0.45/kWh for PG&E).
