I didn’t think mine would be big enough to bank either, until I see the benefit of TOU summer rates first hand.[/quote]
I will have to take a look to see how much i’m using during the day to see if I can even bank. My system is small because of limited roof space and house direction. It’s enough to keep me out of Tier 3-4 during the winter and 2-4 during the summer. But I can only go negative a month during spring and fall.
Update: Just went through last year’s data and did a rough price comparison between TOU-2 vs standard net metering that I’m on right now and it would save me about $130/year ($630 vs $760). That might be enough of a saving for me to buy a used Leaf and drive for free. Thanks for pointing me to TOU ocrenter.[/quote]
Haha, no kidding, right?
Try to avoid the 2011 model as the battery is air cooled and therefore degrades faster. Not sure about the 2012 model. Definitely 2013 and newer they are all liquid cooled.
