Navigating Net Metering 3.0 and Its Impact on Solar and Energy Storage Economics

Net Metering 3.0 introduces a new “Net Billing” tariff that cuts export values by about 75% compared to NEM-2 and decouples import and export rates. This significantly reduces the value of solar-only projects while boosting the case for pairing solar with storage. In response, ETB’s engineering team revamped our backend to model ACC hourly export values precisely, allowing users to accurately assess export value, bill savings, and project economics under NEM-3. This webinar demonstrates the new functionality and explores detailed residential and commercial scenarios across PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E territories.

Things you’ll learn:

Key aspects and challenges of the NEM-3 “Net Billing” tariff
How NEM-3 rates are modeled in ETB Developer
Residential and Commercial NEM-3 case study
Proposal document template for NEM-3 “Net Billing” projects
Energy storage attachment rates under NEM-3

It’s for you if you:

Develop residential or commercial solar and energy storage projects in California

Need to model hourly ACC exports and accurately evaluate bill savings under Net Billing

Are transitioning from NEM-2 to NEM-3 and want to adapt project designs and proposals

Want to highlight energy storage adders for PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E customers

Seek tools, case studies, and templates to clearly communicate NEM-3 economics to your customers
