Batteries and the New Net Metering system in California (NEM 3.0)
- As of April 14th, 2023, NEM 3.0 has implemented a more conservative approach to the program, including a reduction in the buyback rate for solar energy of 75%, causing a change in the compensation structure for excess electricity generation. Thus, you may want to consider getting a battery to protect yourself from future energy price hikes, not to mention the increased rates in “Delivery charges”, amongst others. With current incentives, a battery may cost you only 50% of the price after rebates and tax credits.

30% Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) Extended!
- The 30% Solar Investment Tax Credit has been extended through 2034! This means homeowners in Pasadena can receive a 30% tax credit through 2032. Then in 2033 and 2034, it will go down to 26% and 22%, respectively, before going away in 2035. Commercial solar installations in Pasadena can still benefit from a 30% credit through 2o24.
Solar Cells
Solar cells are small, square-shaped panel semiconductors made from silicon and other conductive materials, manufactured in thin film layers. When sunlight strikes a solar cell, chemical reactions release electrons, generating electric current. Solar cells are also called photovoltaic cells or “PV cells” and can be found on many small appliances such as calculators.
How solar panels work
Solar cells convert solar energy into electricity. The process begins when light hits your roof’s solar panels with photons (particles of sunlight). The solar panel converts those photons into electrons of direct current (“DC”) electricity. The electrons flow out of the solar panel and into an inverter and other electrical safety devices. The inverter converts “DC” power (commonly used in batteries) into alternating current or “AC” power. AC power is the kind of electricity your home appliances use when plugged into the wall outlet. Any power generated by the PV system not used by you is exported to the utility grid.
