Have you sign up paperless? If you haven't, do it.
It will shows more info about your account if paperless is selected.Comment

Jose, that's definitely too long. I was paperless and went to NEM last May. Took two months to start showing up. Then I switched to TOU-A in August and that also took about two months to switch over.Comment

I received my first bill today, and the website is now showing up to date generation and use.
My credit was a bit higher than I expected because generation went into tier 2.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I got a call from SCE today. The CPUC followed my complaint to them. Only thing they told me is that the billing department is working on my issue. Basically the same thing they have been telling me since December.---

Yes, here's my output and consumption on PVoutput. They come from different sources and the times aren't quite aligned, so the consumption graph is a bit bouncy. I haven't run the numbers; I was just scared off by TOU-D-A's baseline credit for the months that I have net generation and the later peak hours.

Perhaps I was too hasty. I tried playing around with the generation and usage numbers in Excel. The complex rate schedules make this much harder than it should be, but using the Green Button data from last month, I still would have come out about $30 ahead on TOU-D-A even as a net generator. For comparison, from my calcs,
TOU-D-T Peak: $-71.57
TOU-D-T Off-peak: $-31.78
which matches sufficiently closely to my actual energy charge of $-103.79.
TOU-D-A Peak: $-36.91
TOU-D-A Off-peak: $-152.89 (most generation now in off-peak)
TOU-D-A Super off-peak: $18.53 (wow, this is cheap!)
Baseline "credit": $34.43 (34 days x -9.2 /day x $-0.11, hope that's right as a large producer for the month)
which totals about $-136.83 for the month. So the higher cost during the entire generation time (in winter, peak and off-peak are the same cost) without the lower cost tier in TOU-D-T more than offsets the baseline "credit" even as a net producer without a large super off peak load. Hope this sounds right...
I also tried modeling a summer month with a large AC load during the day. Those numbers are much fuzzier, but even then the baseline credit more than offset the higher peak rates in TOU-D-A, so it always seemed to come out ahead. A little over a third of my system is west-facing, so perhaps that helps a bit.

You are such a net producer that either plan will work well for you. $100+ credits in the winter months are awesome.
You can even get an EV car and still have lots of credits left.
I wonder how things will be when your AC starts kicking in. I suspect you will still have credits even on the summer months.---

We sized it a little larger than past usage for being more comfortable in the summer plus an EV to be purchased in the next couple of years. At the time I didn't know about the power of TOU rates. Had I known at the time I would have sized it a little smaller, but overall I'm happy.Comment

SCE finally fixed my account. Now I can see usage on their online portal.
About time...---

It’s 2019 and SCE apparently still hasn’t fixed this. I was switched to NET at the end April and here it is early November and no posted nor sent bill. How were yours fixed?Comment
