Keep Your Savings, Boost Your Power
You were one of the smart California homeowners who invested in solar early, and now you’re enjoying the incredible benefits of a Net Energy Metering (NEM) 1.0 or 2.0 plan. You made a wise decision that has been paying off for years.
But what happens when your life changes and you need more power? Maybe you've:
Purchased an electric vehicle (EV)
Added a new room or a major appliance
Found that your family’s energy needs have simply grown
You know you need more solar panels, but you're concerned about losing your grandfathered NEM status and being forced onto the new, less favorable NEM 3.0 plan. With its significantly lower payback for the extra energy you generate, NEM 3.0 can make expanding your system feel like a step backward.
Good news! With Sparky Electric & Solar, you don’t have to compromise. We can increase your solar power while protecting the plan you already have.
How to Expand Your System and Keep Your NEM Status
At Sparky Electric & Solar, we specialize in designing and installing solar system additions that work for you, not against you. Our solution is simple, effective, and fully compliant with utility regulations.
Our Proven Process:
Protect Your Original System: Your existing solar panels continue to operate under your valuable NEM 1.0 or 2.0 agreement. Nothing about your current plan changes.
Install a "Non-Export" Addition: We add a new set of high-efficiency solar panels that are configured to power your home directly. This additional energy is for your use only and is not sent back to the grid, which means it doesn't trigger a change in your NEM status.
Maximize Your Investment with Battery Storage: To capture the full benefit of your new panels, we highly recommend pairing them with a solar battery. This allows you to store the excess energy generated during the day and use it to power your home at night, further reducing your reliance on the utility company and saving you even more money.
Why Expand Your Solar System?
Investing in a system expansion is a smart move for any homeowner looking to maximize their energy independence and savings.
Meet Increased Demand: Power your new EV, air conditioner, or expanded living space without worrying about high electricity bills.
Lock in Your Savings: Continue to benefit from the superior rates of your NEM 1.0 or 2.0 plan while generating more of your own clean energy.
Increase Your Energy Independence: Protect yourself from rising utility costs and unexpected outages by producing and storing your own power.
Boost Your Home's Value: An expanded, modern solar system is a significant selling point for any home.
