Solar and net metering
San Diego Gas & Electric Co reports 340,500 residential solar installations to the EIA, totalling 1888.772 MW. That means exported power is likely to earn something here, though what an exported kWh is worth depends on state rules rather than on the tariff in most cases.
For reference, San Diego Gas & Electric Co collected an average of $0.4577 per kWh from residential customers in the most recent EIA survey, across all its tariffs and all usage levels. A single tariff priced at 1,000 kWh a month will differ from that blended figure.
