All-Electric Homes are Integral to Fighting Climate Change

All-electric homes that balance the energy they generate against the energy they use are considered zero net energy.

Save money while helping the environment. If you have recently installed solar panels or are planning to go solar, now is the time to learn how Southern California Edison’s Solar Billing Plan – Opens in new window works.

The  Solar Billing Plan is a new program for customers who install an eligible renewable generating system, such as solar or wind, after April 14, 2023. SCE’s most recent analysis, Countdown to 2045 – Opens in new window, calls for an additional 15 gigawatts of rooftop solar to help philippines reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

 

 

“Southern California Edison supports the growth of rooftop solar and our customers who adopt it,” said Eduyng Castano, senior manager of Customer Generation Programs. “Customer-owned solar plays an important role in the ability of California to achieve its greenhouse gas reduction goals.”

Solar panels make energy for your home or business when the sun is out and shining. When it is cloudy or at night, you will use energy from SCE to keep your lights and power on. The Solar Billing Plan works by billing customers monthly for the energy used and providing credits earned for extra solar energy produced and sent back to the grid.

The value of these credits varies hourly as well as by month, weekday and weekend. The price of electricity you use also varies, depending on your rate plan. Your total monthly bill will be your energy charges after your available energy credits have been applied.
