If you live in Stockton and you’ve been considering solar, we have a few tips that will make the choice easier and the switch even more worthwhile.

Get net metering in Stockton

All California residents who elect for solar are eligible to sign up for net energy metering (NEM). This is an option through your utility company that enables you to receive credits on your energy bill every month for the full retail rate.

This happens when your solar energy system generates extra energy and sends it back to the grid. The energy you contribute to the grid helps the utility company reach their clean energy goals, and helps you reduce your monthly bills. That’s a win-win. Backup battery for time-of-use rates and extra safety

While you could send extra power back to the grid for energy savings, another option would be to save it for later use for yourself. This is a strategy that Stockton homeowners are using especially with time-of-use rates.

The way this works is to store energy during times of sunshine (when utility rates are low), then use it when it’s dark (when utility rates shoot up). Go against the grain and make a solar backup battery part of your energy rate reduction plan.

A backup battery also gives you peace of mind that even if the grid goes down at night or during a storm, your essential appliances and any crucial equipment can stay online.

How to optimize solar with a home battery

Run on solar power—day or night. With the LG Chem battery, store solar energy and use it to protect your home from high utility rates, power outages, and fluctuating time-of-use rates.

Having a solar home battery that is charged with solar power may qualiffy you for a federal tax credit.
