Can someone help explain PG&E's true-up process?

Can someone help explain PG&E's true-up process?

The Tesla guy didn't seem to have all of the information about this, and I've read about people getting shocked with their first bill. So...

I am looking at a system that will generate 109% of my annual energy needs. But let's say something doesn't totally work out and I only cover 90%. That leaves me with, say, 300 kWh net energy taken from PG&E over the year. Amd, for convenience, let's say that exactly half of my energy is used during peak hours, and half of the generation occurs during peak hours.

Tesla said I would have to switch to a TOU plan witb PG&E. So they add up my usage and find that I owe them for 300 kWh. What rate is that billed at? Do they split the difference based on usage between peak and off-peak rates, or do it all peak, or some weird third rate, or do they actually apply separate net metering taking into account usage and generation to create a net peak and net off-peak usage?

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.
