Residents in California can still enjoy the benefits of NEM 2.0 if they act quickly. New solar panels applied for before the end of day April 13, 2023, will be grandfathered into the old policy.
You don’t need to actually have them installed by then. Homeowners simply need to apply for a new interconnection before the end of the day on April 13. The actual installation in California of solar panels can be done up to three years after the application is submitted.
