Funny thing is, net metering 1.0 (where a credit is a credit) would have been worse for us than NEM 2.0, where I can generate at peak hours for 40c/kWh and charge the car off-peak for 30c (for example). It was even better when I had 1pm-7pm peak hours; now that I've lost those, "peak" is fairly useless because 4pm-9pm is not exactly prime solar generating hours. We're looking at a remodel and I definitely missed the boat with the April 14 deadline. I just assumed I could grandfather in my old panels and maybe add capacity under the new scheme, but it sounds like any changes I make to capacity shift me right over to NEM3.0, which means there's probably no point in adding capacity. I'm not sure if the changes required in redoing my roof (removing panels, putting right back where they were) or optimizing (moving existing panels to a new location) hurt my NEM2.0 status or not. Which is frustrating, because currently my annual true-up is like $700/yr for power. I'd like to go from a gas furnace to an electric heat pump, meaning I'll be using more power, but financially it doesn't make a lot of sense to add panels and lose my NEM2.0. I had also assumed I'd need to add capacity by .. tomorrow, which I knew I wasn't ready to do. Turns out, I could have just engaged with our installer and had the plans drawn up and approved, and installed them later this year, which is the plan anyway. The frustrating thing about the whole system is tiering. You really just want to stay in tier 1 but that's impossible in the winter with an EV. And it'll be even harder with an EV and electric heat.
