I'll call them again today, to see if I can get better service.Comment

I was put on TOU when I hung-up the phone. I don't see where this is going if what I read is true and TOU-D-T is near-dead.Comment

So, I spoke to "Ruth" at SCE
She stated that the TOU-D-T accounts are not going away, the only upcoming changes are a name change to all the EV type TOU accounts.
I am too close to the end of the billing cycle to convert on this cycle period ( but she said she will try to anyways). Feb. will probably be the first cycle.
For solar account holders, their is no "analysis" to be performed. They know most every solar home over generates during the day.
She could not give me numbers over the phone, but confirmed that the TOU-D-T type account will benefit my situation, how much remains to be seen....
Thanks everyone...

Based on how you've described your consumption, it is hard to see how TOU will benefit you. In the summer time, you are a net consumer, and since you've said A/C is where most of that energy goes, it is likely to land squarely in the "peak" pricing period. In general, TOU makes the most sense for people who are net generators during peak periods. I would guess that whatever gain you might pick up from TOU this time of year will be quickly eaten up and end up costing you once your A/C starts running.CS6P-260P/SE3000 - http://tiny.cc/ed5ozxComment

I disagree sensji. If no one is home until 4pm, like bob said, and his A/C is off until then, he will generate enough credits to offset when the A/C is on later in the afternoon and evening.---

again, check with your normal usuage during Summer especially Winter time. SCE has switch all TOU-D-TEV to TOU-D starting Jan 1st, 2015.
the peak hours start from 2pm to 8pm. The super off peak extend from 10pm to 8 am. (If you charge your EVs and AC/heater during night time and no one home during day time, great for you!!)
I'm not sure how many of your get your peak solar output from 2pm to 8pm.... Unless you have West facing arrays....but still... East facing arrays are
There are TOU-D-A and TOU-D-B plan. The B plan has fixed $16 monthly fee at lower rates
Here is example on a SW 245 deg Summer output and TOU-D-A rates
PLEASE LOOK AT THE RATE CHART ****Baseline Allocation Credit @ -10 cents per kWh only!!!****Attached FilesComment

Guys,
don't be to excite about the TOU-D plan. There is actually 3 different types of rates on TOU-D
1. TOU-D-A plan with 10 cents on your baseline allocation credit
2. TOU-D-B plan that charges $16 monthly base fee
3. TOU-D plan with 2 levels of off-peak and no super off-peak hours.
READ THE FINE PRINT!!!Comment
