160kWh is twenty 8 hour days at 100% efficiency. That will almost never be worth it. I guess that’s the end of net energy metering in California.

According to an article about the legality of the fee linked elsewhere in this thread, customers can still opt out of NEM, and just waste the excess electricity generation.

That will essentially always be the right financial decision.

It would actually be less hostile towards solar installs if they simply paid $0 for excess energy, and didn’t introduce the fee.
