We are NEM also. If you own a PHEV and have solar it can be very valuable. Under our program we pay .30 per kw from noon to 6pm and .09 per kwh from 6pm till noon. We consume more than we produce for only the six darkest weeks of the year and massively over produce about 24 of the brightest weeks of the year. We are brake even the other 22 weeks give or take. For us going from a truck and sedan as commuter vehicles to two C Max Energi and solar for the house we save $800 a month at current gas/electricity prices. Ford should consider getting in the solar business and sell a package deal. When I think about the possibilities in California with the long commutes, high electricity prices, high gas prices and car pool lanes, it seems like a no brainer.
