I've heard from at least one PG&E customer with a PV TOU intertie system who
was credited in dollars on his first month's billing. I can't say for certain
if this is general company policy, but it's certainly the easiest for their
accounting system to deal with. After all, that's precisely how it already
works.
  The law currently allows averaging over a one year period.  So you can save
up credits from the summer to use in the winter. What isn't clear yet is what
happens at the end of a year if you have unused credit.
  Wasn't Clint Eastwood hammering the legislature so his solar-powered resort
could get paid for the excess power it's delivering?

Best regards,
