About this course

All 3 California IOU's are now officially accepting Energy Storage Net Metering (aka NEM Paired Storage) applications. This effectively permits eligible solar + storage systems to export storage to the grid and receive a full NEM credit, assuming the battery charges entirely from solar. Throughout this course, we unpack the mechanics of how exactly NEM Paired Storage works, and illustrate the added value it can provide for both Residential & Commercial solar + storage projects.

Agenda:

  • CEC RPS Guidebook overview
  • 2014 NEM and storage decision & rules
  • New NEM paired storage rules
  • List of Certified Power Control Systems
  • Modeling NEM paired storage in ETB Developer
  • Case study results
