Solar panels, Utility bill, NEM 2.0 and renting

[Jeff Cliff]

Hello,

I have a single family house in Northern California which is my primary and it has solar panels. My solar system was grandfathered into NEM 2.0 with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). 

I am planning to rent out this house to a tenant and I have a few questions I need clarification on.

1) If the tenants change the utility service (PG&E) in their name how would it impact NEM 2.0. I read something called NBT (Net Billing Tariff) may apply but I am unclear how it would impact tenants and if the landlord were to move back into the house after tenants move out?

2) My current true-up date is May every year. Hypothetically, if new tenants moves into property in August and transfer utilities in their name, would the true-up date change to August as well or would it continue to be May. If it stays May how do you figure out the true up share of landlord and the tenants?

3) Would it be a better idea to keep the utilities in landlord's name and have tenants pay the bill? In this scenario again how would the true-up charges work?

4) Are there any specific addendums or disclosures required for the solar panels in the rental agreement with the tenants?

Thank you in advance for your response.
