System Size Justification: Net metering in Berkeley Electric territory is governed by their Renewable Generation Surplus Tariff. Their tariff does not allow the AC system size to exceed the homeowners previous 12 month consumption divided by 1800 or their average monthly consumption divided by 150. We arrive at a maximum allowable kW DC value based off of our AC-DC conversion factor.

Monthly Net Metering Credit: All kWhs sent to the grid are valued at $0.0592/kWh. Any credits can carry forward month to month.

Annual Credit True Up: There is no annual true-up or option for credits to be paid out. Excess credits are capable of reducing the homeowners fixed monthly charge.
