Time-of-Use Rates—Good for Some, Bad for Others
If you are interested in solar, now is the time to act. A mandatory time-of-use (TOU) rate law will take effect in 2009 which may be financially detrimental to anyone looking to purchase a partial solar system. Customers with systems installed now have the choice of an E6 time-of-use schedule or an E1 tiered rate schedule.

Coming Soon—Energy Efficiency Upgrades Required, Rebate Payments Decreasing
As a result of new energy efficiency legislation (SB-1), receiving incentives for installing a solar system on your home will get tougher in 2009.

Real-time Pricing—Putting Customers on the “Spot”
With the era of time-of-use rates and SmartMeters, real-time pricing (spot rate changes passed on to customers based on day-ahead forecasts of energy costs) is not far behind. Installing a solar system in 2008 can lock you in to a known E1 residential rate, instead of the financially unpredictable and volatile world of spot pricing.
SmartMeters—Gateway to Higher Rates
Within the next three years, PG&E will complete installing SmartMeters for every electric service throughout California. These SmartMeters are a gateway to new ways that PG&E can charge its customers. Depending upon the size of the solar PV system and usage patterns, many of these new pricing strategies are not beneficial to solar customers. However, installing a solar system now can lock in the E1 residential rate, offering protection against the new rate schedules that are mandatory in 2009.
Ways to conserve energy and save money on you utility bill:
- Installing solar systems, which convert energy from the sun into electricity
- Upgrading to an energy-efficient heating and air conditioning system
- Replacing windows and doors with new, energy-saving glass
