Installed solar one month, have question about the utility bill

Admin, if I posted in the wrong forum, please remove to the right one.

Tesla installed solar and turned on 4/1/2021. According to Tesla, the system will produce more than my usage (140%). April last year (4/2020) usage was 525kWh.

In month of April, it produced close to 1000 kWh (I keep recording every day). Today, I got the bill from SCE (period 4/1 – 4/29), the usage on the bill in April is 279kWh x $0.23/kWh = $66 - $29 (CA climate credit) = $36 (the amount I am owe).

I was assuming with the amount should be negative or at least zero. Would someone kindly explain it to me? I had hear about NEM but there was nothing like that in the bill. I am so confused at this point.

I am in S.Cal. Tried to upload attachment of the bill but couldn't "error uploading image".

    You may do better to ask the question on a US forum.

    Sorry not to be able to be more help
