Livermore, CA – November 6, 2026 – Your Energy Solutions, a family-owned Bay Area energy company serving the region since 2008, helps homeowners and businesses explore battery storage solutions designed around their energy needs, existing equipment, and property requirements.
Changing Solar Credits Make Battery Storage More Valuable
California’s Net Billing Tariff, commonly known as NEM 3.0, took effect in April 2023 for customers of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). Under this policy, excess electricity exported to the grid receives compensation based on lower, time-dependent export rates rather than the retail electricity rates available under the previous net metering structure.
This change has made it more important for solar owners to consider when electricity is generated and when it is consumed. Solar panels typically produce the most electricity around midday, while household energy demand often increases during the evening. Without battery storage, surplus daytime electricity may be sent to the grid for comparatively low compensation, leaving homeowners to purchase electricity later when household demand rises.
A battery system can store some of that excess solar energy for use after sunset. This allows homeowners to increase the amount of solar-generated electricity consumed on-site and reduce reliance on grid electricity during higher-demand periods. Industry reporting has also highlighted a significant increase in battery adoption among California solar installations following the introduction of the new billing structure.
Backup Power Remains an Important Consideration
Solar economics are not the only reason homeowners are considering battery storage. Power outages associated with wildfire-prevention measures and other grid events remain a planning consideration across parts of California.
Pacific Gas and Electric has conducted Public Safety Power Shutoffs in areas near Livermore and Altamont Pass to reduce wildfire risks. Although recent shutoffs have affected smaller areas than some past events, these situations demonstrate why household energy preparedness remains relevant for Bay Area residents.
A properly designed battery system can provide backup electricity during an outage, depending on battery capacity, electrical configuration, and household energy consumption. The amount of power available and the appliances supported depend on the system selected and the home’s specific electrical requirements.
