Under NEM 3.0 (for new installations after April 2023), exported solar earns ~$0.02–$0.08/kWh. Battery storage is essential — store production, use it at night during peak rate hours, maximize self-consumption.
SGIP provides per-kWh incentives for battery storage through SCE. Up to $1,000/kWh for qualifying low-income or high fire risk customers. Your installer applies on your behalf.
