I'd say if you are going to do it, you might as well consider the cost of installing enough panels + battery to be 100% not reliant on the grid throughout the year. You'll then be on NEM 3.0 but it wouldn't matter.

I'd be careful here. I believe utility companies have a way to see if you have additional panels and other equipments installed. If for example you install a battery and you did not initially have one before, I'm sure their system will detect that and flag your account. Especially with NEM 3.0, SCE has every incentive to implement this type of monitoring and profit off of it.
