If you live in West Sacramento or anywhere in the Sacramento Valley, you’ve seen firsthand what happens to electricity bills year after year — they go up. Rates keep rising, and customers on solar are now under NEM 3.0, which drastically reduced solar export credit rates for homes that send power back to the grid.

Meaning:
Solar alone isn’t enough anymore.
Solar with a battery is the winning formula moving forward.

🔌 West Sacramento electricity

Traditional electric bills are for:

• electricity production
• distribution fees
• transmission fees
• wildfire liability surcharges
• regulatory fees
• customer charges
• and even “power line transportation charges”

Even if electricity costs 12¢…
They can charge you 28–40¢ after line fees and penalties.

⚠️ NEM 3.0 — The Quiet Change That Affects Your Wallet

Under NEM 2.0, excess solar sent back to the grid was credited generously.
Now under NEM 3.0:

• export rates dropped by ~75%
• selling power back to the grid is barely worth it
• daytime credits are pennies
• night-time imports are expensive

Result:
Solar-only customers are still dependent on PG&E.

💡 The New Era: Solar + Battery = Energy Autonomy

With our updated approach, every new client installation includes at least one home battery, which enables:

✔ storing solar you generate
✔ using your own power at night
✔ avoiding evening peak rates
✔ almost eliminating grid reliance
✔ stopping transportation charges
✔ avoiding future NEM revisions

When you own your stored power —
PG&E doesn’t get to resell it back to you for a massive markup.

🌱 Why pay for transporting fossil-fuel power…

…over aging power lines
…controlled by a centralized utility
…subject to wildfire shutdowns
…and unpredictable rate hikes

…when you can produce your own clean energy
right on your roof
and store it in your garage?

This is the energy shift of the next 25 years —
from centralized dirty energy to distributed clean energy.
