About this course
The ETB product and engineering teams have refactored our backend savings engine to precisely account for ACC hourly export values. This will enable users to precisely model the value of exports, total bill savings, and the overall project economics of any NEM-3 project. We will demo this new functionality. Additionally, we will share all of our latest insights on how the new NEM-3 tariff will affect the economics of solar and storage projects. We will review residential and commercial scenarios in all 3 IOU territories.
