The credit amount indicated on your bill is calculated using the full retail rate for energy used on-site. This rate includes generation, transmission, distribution, and funding for public programs. Under NSC, SCE pays you the market rate, comparable to what we pay other energy producers, as required by California Assembly Bill 920.

Yes. However, for systems that are less than 10 kW and do not have a Net Generation Output Meter (NGOM), NEM credits are capped in accordance with the NEM Paired Storage estimation methodology, as described in the NEM Successor Tariff.

For systems over 10 kW, a NGOM, or other power control option, will be required to meter the generation of the system and properly identify any energy exported to the grid specifically from the battery component. No credits are granted for exports that exceed the recorded generation from the renewable system.

NEM does not have a discharge requirement; however, please note that incentive programs, such as the Self-Generating Incentive Program (SGIP) may require battery discharge at regular intervals.
