SUMMARY:Adding Solar & Storage to Existing NEM 1 & NEM 2 Systems
DESCRIPTION:As energy needs grow\, many homeowners with existing solar systems realize their current setup may no longer cover increased usage but don’t want to lose their NEM status. Whether you’re adding electric appliances or electric vehicle\, or looking to add a battery to protect against power shut-off event this webinar will help you navigate expanding your solar system and integrating battery storage while preserving or optimizing your Net Energy Metering (NEM) agreement. You’ll learn when keeping your current NEM benefits makes sense\, when switching could save you more\, and how to design an energy system that aligns with your long-term goals. \nKey Takeaways: \n✅ How adding solar or batteries impacts your NEM plan\n✅ How to add solar without losing your NEM status\n✅ How to size your system for increased demand\n✅ Which upgrade paths acheives key energy goals \n  \nAbout the Instructor: \nSpencer Rosen is a home energy expert\, educator\, and founder of Home Energy Academy. With 1\,000+ home energy evaluations\, 100+ whole-home energy projects\, and oversight of 100\,000+ solar and storage system installations\, Spencer brings real-world expertise in energy efficiency\, solar\, storage\, and electrification. He has led 100+ homeowner and professional training sessions for California utilities\, helping participants confidently navigate solar and battery upgrades.

SUMMARY:Electrification Incentives
DESCRIPTION:Harness the incentives that are making electrification more affordable than ever. Upgrading your home with high efficiency electric appliances and switching to an electric vehicle will lower your ongoing energy costs and dramatically reduce your carbon emissions\, but the initial costs can be daunting. Fortunately\, significant incentives are available from utilities\, states and the federal government to help you reduce the up front costs of EVs\, heat pumps\, weatherization\, and other home upgrades. These incentives can save you thousands of dollars\, and typically make the most energy efficient options cost the same or even less than cheaper\, low efficiency products. Join us as we discuss the types of incentives available and how to identify the ones that you would qualify for. We will cover federal tax credits\, income qualified federal tax rebates\, state energy efficiency programs and utility based incentives and the resources that can help you find information about them. We will answer the following questions and more: What is the Inflation Reduction Act and what incentives does it provide? What do the IRA tax credits cover? What is the best way to plan ahead and take full advantage of the IRA tax credits? What are the HEER up-front rebates\, and when will they be available in my state? How do I learn about the income qualifications? Can these federal incentives be combined with state and local incentives? What are the utility or state funded incentives available? Where do I find information about all of the incentives in my area?
