Hourly avoided-cost credit on exports, no retail netting
Condiciones publicadasPG&E credits every kilowatt hour you export at an hourly Export Compensation Rate from the CPUC Avoided Cost Calculator, and bills what you import separately at your retail rate (Schedule E-ELEC for residential customers), with no netting between the two. On PG&E's 2026 price sheet for 2026 applications, the generation and delivery parts together run from $0.00001 a kWh ($0.00000 + $0.00001, May weekends and holidays, hour from 3 p.m.) to $1.19289 ($0.96585 + $0.22704, August weekends and holidays, hour from 7 p.m.), and the generation part is credited only to customers who buy their generation from PG&E. Most residential customers also get an ACC Plus bonus credit per exported kWh, fixed for nine years from permission to operate: $0.00880 for an application completed in 2026 and $0.00440 for one completed in 2027, or $0.03600 and $0.01800 for low-income households. Applications completed by 31 December 2027 also lock in a nine-year schedule of hourly export values from permission to operate, but the values in that schedule change every calendar year.
- Mes a mes
- Export credits are kept as separate generation and delivery balances, and each pays only the matching per-kWh charges. Unused amounts carry from month to month within your 12-billing-cycle Relevant Period, then into the next Relevant Period for as long as you stay on NBT. If you leave NBT, the leftover is forfeited at your last true up. ACC Plus credits can pay any charge, including the non-bypassable charges, and do not expire; if you terminate service with PG&E, PG&E pays you for any ACC Plus credit left.
- Una vez al año
- Annual, at the end of each 12-billing-cycle Relevant Period counted from permission to operate (you may ask once to move the date), but you still pay net charges every month. If you exported more kWh than you imported over the period, the surplus kWh are debited at “the utility’s average real-world retail export compensation rates for all NBT customers” over the past 12 months. The same kWh are then credited at the Net Surplus Compensation rate, a 12-month rolling average of PG&E's DLAP price from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus a Renewable Attribute Adder if you file PG&E's REC form (Form 79-1155-02), get the system certified by the CEC and transfer the WREGIS certificates to PG&E. NSC first pays anything you owe PG&E; the rest rolls forward, or PG&E sends a check on request if it is greater than $1. CCA and Direct Access customers get no NSC from PG&E.

Estas son empresas reales que operan en el territorio de PG&E. Bold Energy aparece primero porque es la empresa que presentamos primero. Ese orden lo decidimos nosotros y no es una puntuación. Las demás empresas están ordenadas por reseñas, años de trayectoria y calificación BBB. Ninguna de ellas nos paga por su posición. Elija la que quiera y le llamaremos para organizarlo.
El orden combina tres cosas que leemos de fuentes primarias: el número de reseñas y la calificación de Google, los años de trayectoria tomados del perfil de la empresa en el Better Business Bureau y no de su propia publicidad, y su calificación por letra del BBB. La acreditación del BBB se muestra pero nunca se puntúa, porque es una membresía de pago y no una señal de calidad.

Cómo se ve esto en una factura de PG&E
Un hogar promedio de California, frente a un sistema dimensionado para cubrir su año. El cargo por energía es la parte que baja a cero. El cargo fijo mensual que hay debajo es la parte que nunca baja, y es la cifra que decide si un sistema se paga solo.
La lectura del medidor baja de 41926 a 41786 kilovatios hora. Un mes de 503 kilovatios hora frente a 643 kilovatios hora producidos deja 0 kilovatios hora facturados y 140 guardados para el próximo mes, así que el cargo por energía baja de $174.74 a $0.00 a 34.74 centavos por kilovatio hora.
Consumo promedio de un hogar en California, 503 kWh al mes, al precio residencial publicado actual de 34.74¢ por kWh. Su compañía sigue cobrando un cargo fijo mensual que ningún sistema elimina, así que esto es la parte de energía de la factura, que es la parte que desaparece.
La batería de respaldo es obligatoria
en el territorio de PG&E.
PG&E no le acredita la energía que usted devuelve a la misma tarifa que le cobra por consumirla.
Eso no hace que la energía solar sea mala idea en el territorio de PG&E. Cambia lo que conviene instalar. Cuando lo exportado vale una fracción del precio minorista, el crédito deja de ser el retorno y el objetivo pasa a ser usar más de su propia producción dentro de la casa, lo que suele significar un sistema más grande que el que haría falta con una compañía que paga uno a uno.
El tamaño del sistema es donde se decide esto, así que pregúntelo directamente. California paga menos por la exportación a mediodía y más en las tardes de verano, así que bajo la facturación neta un sistema se dimensiona según lo que usted puede consumir o almacenar, no según lo que puede generar. PG&E fija sus propios límites. Pregunte a PG&E qué permite antes de dar por hecho que un sistema más grande está descartado.
Entonces la batería cumple dos funciones distintas. Mueve la producción del día hacia la noche para que usted la use en vez de venderla, y mantiene la casa funcionando cuando se cae la red. Esa segunda función no es un extra. Los paneles solos se apagan durante un apagón, por diseño, así que un techo lleno de paneles no alimenta nada durante una tormenta. Esa es la parte que no vamos a pasar por alto.
Por eso lo tratamos como un requisito, no como una mejora opcional. No le referiremos para un sistema de solo paneles en el territorio de PG&E, y usted debería desconfiar de cualquiera que le cotice uno sin plantear primero el almacenamiento.
Es nuestra política de referencia, no un requisito legal ni de la compañía eléctrica
Lo que su instalador debería estar diciéndole
Get the completion date of your interconnection application in writing. Its calendar year fixes both your nine-year export rate schedule and your ACC Plus rate, and an application completed after 31 December 2027 gets neither. Ask for savings modeled on every year of your vintage in PG&E's export rate file (pge.com/eecvalues), not just the 2026 sheet: in the 2026 Vintage file the generation value for an August weekday hour from 8 p.m. is $0.99821 in 2026 but $0.30921 in 2029. If you are buying a home that already has panels, or adding solar because the building code requires it, you get no ACC Plus at all, and PG&E may treat the buyer of a new home sold by the builder before permission to operate the same way. Ask whether you count as low-income under the tariff (CARE or FERA, a resident-owner of a single-family home in a disadvantaged community, or a resident of California Indian Country); for a 2026 application that raises the ACC Plus from $0.00880 to $0.03600. Ordinary export credits cannot pay the Base Services Charge ($0.79343 a day on Income Tier 3), other fixed charges or the non-bypassable charges; only ACC Plus credits can. On a CCA, PG&E credits only the delivery component (for example $0.00075, against $0.05354 for generation, at 1 p.m. on a July weekday on the 2026 sheet), so ask the CCA in writing what it pays for the generation component. If you might sell within nine years, the tariff ties the nine-year legacy period to you, not the system, so a buyer does not inherit it apart from narrow exceptions.

Lo que PG&E le cobra igualmente
En un mes en que su producción cubre todo lo que consume, el cargo por energía puede llegar a cero. Esto no. Es el mínimo de toda factura, y es la cifra que decide si un sistema se paga solo.
- El cargo
- About $24.15 a month for most households, $6.00 or $12.08 if you qualify
- Cómo se calcula
- PG&E states this as a Base Services Charge per customer per DAY, not per month, so it is easy to read as small: $0.79343 a day for Income Tier 3, which is most households, giving about $24.15 over an average month. Income Tier 1, broadly CARE households, pays $0.19713 a day or about $6.00; Income Tier 2, broadly FERA households and some deed-restricted affordable housing, pays $0.39688 a day or about $12.08. The tariff is explicit that this revenue is "used to reduce their $ per kWh energy rates", and that is the part a solar household should notice: it moves money out of the per kilowatt hour rate, which your panels offset, and into a fixed charge, which ordinary export credits cannot touch. On the Solar Billing Plan only the ACC Plus bonus credit can pay it. Solar customers are billed on Schedule E-ELEC, which prints the same three daily charges.
Schedule E-ELEC, Sheet 2 (Cal. P.U.C. 61363-E, Advice 7921-E, D.26-04-036, effective 1 June 2026), the schedule residential Solar Billing Plan customers must take; the "used to reduce" wording is from Schedule E-TOU-C, Base Services Charge Rates, effective 1 June 2026 · verificado el 2026-10-13 · fuente
Preguntas sobre la medición neta de PG&E
- ¿Ofrece PG&E medición neta uno por uno?
- No. PG&E credits every kilowatt hour you export at an hourly Export Compensation Rate from the CPUC Avoided Cost Calculator, and bills what you import separately at your retail rate (Schedule E-ELEC for residential customers), with no netting between the two. On PG&E's 2026 price sheet for 2026 applications, the generation and delivery parts together run from $0.00001 a kWh ($0.00000 + $0.00001, May weekends and holidays, hour from 3 p.m.) to $1.19289 ($0.96585 + $0.22704, August weekends and holidays, hour from 7 p.m.), and the generation part is credited only to customers who buy their generation from PG&E. Most residential customers also get an ACC Plus bonus credit per exported kWh, fixed for nine years from permission to operate: $0.00880 for an application completed in 2026 and $0.00440 for one completed in 2027, or $0.03600 and $0.01800 for low-income households. Applications completed by 31 December 2027 also lock in a nine-year schedule of hourly export values from permission to operate, but the values in that schedule change every calendar year.
- ¿Cuánto paga PG&E por la energía devuelta a la red?
- Hourly avoided-cost credit on exports, no retail netting. Annual, at the end of each 12-billing-cycle Relevant Period counted from permission to operate (you may ask once to move the date), but you still pay net charges every month. If you exported more kWh than you imported over the period, the surplus kWh are debited at “the utility’s average real-world retail export compensation rates for all NBT customers” over the past 12 months. The same kWh are then credited at the Net Surplus Compensation rate, a 12-month rolling average of PG&E's DLAP price from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus a Renewable Attribute Adder if you file PG&E's REC form (Form 79-1155-02), get the system certified by the CEC and transfer the WREGIS certificates to PG&E.

- ¿Necesito una batería con PG&E?
- Sí, y lo tratamos como obligatorio. Como PG&E no acredita las exportaciones uno por uno, el retorno tiene que venir de usar su propia producción en vez de venderla, y después del anochecer eso significa almacenamiento y normalmente un sistema más grande que el que haría falta con una compañía que paga uno a uno. La otra mitad es el respaldo: los paneles solos se apagan en un apagón, así que la batería es lo que mantiene la casa funcionando en una tormenta. No referimos sistemas de solo paneles en el territorio de PG&E. Esta es nuestra política de referencia, no un requisito legal ni de la compañía eléctrica.
