I have a preexisting 12kw system on nem 2.0 with pg&e in northern California . I entered a contract to add a 4kw non-export system (without battery)last fall but there were delays with getting non-export (rule 21) paperwork done so now I wont get the 30% tax credit. I had gotten another EV and was panning on charging during the day to use up the solar from the non-export system. Since then my work schedule has changed so I wont be able to charge during the day except for weekends. My household daytime baseline use is very low otherwise, so I would be wasting the daytime energy on the weekdays. So far I have paid $3500 out of the $11.5k contact to install the non-export system. My question: should I cut my losses and save $7k? With this money I could just build an off-grid EG4 system with battery on my pergola and charge my new EV that way at night. Anything else I should consider? Or should I continue with the non-export system?…thanks all.
