Is battery storage worth it in Kettleman City under PG&E NEM 3.0?
Under PG&E NEM 3.0, battery storage is important for Kings County homeowners to maximize solar value. High summer AC loads make evening battery discharge particularly valuable. In Kettleman City, summer electricity rates peak in the evening when solar production has stopped — battery storage lets you use your own solar power instead of buying from PG&E at peak rates.
What is the outage and PSPS risk in Kettleman City?
This valley floor community has low PSPS risk. Battery storage is still valuable for NEM 3.0 optimization — storing midday solar for evening use instead of selling back at low export rates. Moderate. Rural grid reliability lower than urban areas.
Does SolarEdge Home Battery work with my existing SolarEdge inverter?
