Solar generation not captured without net metering.
Challenge Solar generation not captured without net metering. Load curves do not match solar generation curves over the course of the day; by shifting certain appliances, we can capture addition value.

Opportunity Addressing lost potential of solar customers While irradiance is heavily concentrated in the southeast, particularly Arizona, solar penetration is limited due to factors like net metering
Arizona has the highest irradiance, with average kWh/m2/day > 8.0, but some of the lowest penetration with < 1% of homes http://www.nrel.gov/csp/pdfs/csp_sw.pdf
