Hi All,
So a month has finally passed where I can take a look at my PGE solar bill, and it's WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY OFF. I produced 800 kWh in the month of August, and my bill says I used 550, so how can I possibly still owe $150.00? Their graph barely shows any green (production) compared to the blue (consumption). I called them and they said it could take a few billing cycles to process and i'll be retro paid. Does this sound right to anybody out there in California, or are they blowin smoke?
More smoke blowing read on: My panels should produce around 5100 peak watts, 12 panels x 425 watts. Now I know you never get the full efficiency, but my peak is around 4000k and never higher. I called Enphase and they told me there is some California Regulation that governs your panels down 20% of what they can produce???? SAY WHAT? They said it's built into the software and any system is governed down 20%, This would definitely explain my peak output, but is this information true or are they blowing smoke? I find this ridiculous, and can't find anything online regarding this regulation.
