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?

At the end of the year the account is cleared. The original legislation made
it clear that it was the value that was accounted. However with the extension
of netmetering to 1meg installations, the three utils have filed an advice
letter oppting for an alternate accounting - that is kwh for kwh. Of course
this is not as good a deal. CALSEIA has filed a protest - today I believe.

Best, Don
