New minimum $10/month "Delivery Charge" for SCE customers.

If you look at the second image under Delivery charges and sum up the following: On peak -$5.78, Off peak -$58.25 and Super off peak $77.41 you get $13.38 which is above the $10 minimum. Well done! So you only owe the Basic charge and tax of $1.15.

You get a $34.62 credit toward your Net since it is the sum of the Delivery charges and Generation charges. (Mostly because of the Baseline credit) Congratulations!

Next month you will likely owe some or all of the Minimum charge assuming your PV system generates more power than last month and your household consumes the same amount of power.

Good explanation, thank you!

So far so good that the 7.1kW system support my home + 2 EVs at 100% coverage (min fees apply). Seriously, I'm glad I have go for 100% coverage when designing the solar. (Installer under estimate the output but which I prefer that too) The SCE will only allow you to build 100% coverage which is no way to build a system to cover 2 EVs if you don't already have them.

I charged up my electric cars during the day for the same billing cycle as yours in an effort to avoid the charge and I still have to pay $5 in minimum charges. The thing that I couldn't control is the fact that I had 28 of 30 days of good or great generation. I know I could have purposely wasted electricity to avoid the charge and still had the same Net annual credit, but $5 out of pocket to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the water required to generate the electricity is a small price to pay.

Agree with silversaver, thank you for the insight!
I also intent to grow with EVs in the future (with larger batteries). End of April will be my one year anniversary. Looking forward to how the year panned out.

It looks like SCE is different than PGE in that SCE won't "collect" that minimum monthly bill amount if your delivery charges are over their minimum. PG&E collects their minimum every month regardless, because as they state it's really an annual minimum of $120 guaranteed. You won't get any of those monthly paymenus back because they are "installments", even if during several months of year you met the minimum.
