Everything Solar Forum

Each Tuesday at noon (Eastern) solarPVtraining.com hosts a Zoom sessions for students (or anyone, really) interested in solar.  Generally discussion focuses on technical questions, problems or troubleshooting - or just what is happening in solar that week.

This week we explore what might be coming over the next year in the world of energy storage.

I read the SB 849, there is a catch there because they define Solar Project as : 

"Solar project", a group of photovoltaic interconnected solar panels or arrays that convert sunlight into electricity for the primary purpose of wholesale or retail sales of generated electricity, including all on-site equipment and facilities necessary for the proper operation of the facility, such as electrical collection and transmission lines, battery storage systems, transformers,substations, and operations and maintenance facilities.

but if I do not perform any retail sales, or any export to the grid then I fall outside their definition of Solar Project. Maybe net metering is not consider sales, as utilities do not pay back or give 1099 for every customer, just credits.
