In 2019, SDG&E began defaulting solar and non-solar customers on to time-of-use rate plans where customers are charged for energy based on when they consume it not just how much they consume. SDG&E offers many different pricing plan options for solar customers. New solar customers should select the plan that their solar energy system was designed to offset and existing solar customers should remain on the plan used to design their system. There are a few different factors that go into deciding which time-of-use plan is best including if you have an electric vehicle, your energy consumption patterns, and if you have solar. Before choosing or changing a plan, solar energy customers should consult with their installer or use the SDG&E rate analysis tool.
