What California Homeowners Are Saying

I was skeptical at first — I'd heard too many solar horror stories. Ed walked me through everything, no pressure, no gimmicks. Install was done in under 30 days and our first bill afterward was under $20. Wish I'd done this two years ago.

No pressure, no jargon — just clear answers about what my bill would actually look like after solar. We're saving about $160 a month. Ed walked me through every step and the install was done in under 30 days.

Ed is incredibly knowledgeable and the kind of professional who genuinely cares about doing what's right for his clients. You can tell he values integrity and long-term relationships over quick sales. Highly recommend.

How Much Does It Really Cost to Charge an EV in California?

PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E rates can push your EV charging cost to $150+/month. Here's the real math — and how pairing solar with an EV can flip that into savings.

Got Questions

Real Answers. No Runaround.

The questions California homeowners ask before they decide.

Yes, solar is still worth it in California under NEM 3.0 when paired with a battery storage system. Export credits dropped significantly for PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E customers, which means solar-only systems save less than before — but a solar + Powerwall system self-consumes your midday production and dispatches stored power during the 4–9pm peak window when grid electricity costs the most. Most California homeowners with solar + battery are still seeing 8–9 year payback periods and $150–$300/month in ongoing bill savings. Run your numbers here →
There are four ways to go solar in California — Prepaid Lease, PPA, cash purchase, or loan — each with different upfront costs, ownership timelines, and savings profiles. A Prepaid Lease is our most popular option: you pay 30% below the cash price upfront, own the system outright after 5 years, and no tax liability is required. A PPA is $0 down — a third party owns the panels and you pay per kWh at a rate below your utility. Buying with cash or a loan gives you full ownership from day one and the best long-term return. We compare all four options side-by-side in every estimate. Get your comparison →
You do not always need a new roof before going solar, but if your roof has less than 10 years of life remaining, replacing it first is almost always the right call. Removing and reinstalling panels to replace a roof mid-lease can cost $2,000–$4,000 in labor alone. We assess your roof condition as part of every estimate — if you need both, we coordinate the roofing and solar timeline so you're not paying for double mobilization. We use Owens Corning and GAF materials through our roofing partner. Learn about roofing →
SMUD customers qualify for up to $5,400 per Tesla Powerwall installed, capped at $10,000 per household. To qualify, the battery must be installed by a SMUD-approved contractor and enrolled in their Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program, which pays approximately $440/year per Powerwall for allowing SMUD to dispatch your battery during grid events. The rebate stacks directly with the Prepaid Lease's 30% discount, making the SMUD battery combination one of the strongest incentive stacks in California. Rebate amounts subject to change — verify current figures at smud.org. See the full SMUD incentive stack →
Adding a heat pump alongside solar maximizes your total savings by eliminating your gas bill entirely and running your heating and cooling on solar power you generate yourself. A heat pump replaces both your gas furnace and AC with a single high-efficiency electric system — shifting those costs to electricity at near-zero marginal cost from your panels. For California homeowners with $80–$200/month gas bills, the combined payback on solar + heat pump is significantly stronger than solar alone. We connect you with vetted local HVAC contractors and size your solar system to cover the added electrical load. Get an HVAC referral →
Yes, California homeowners can get solar with no credit check and no money down through specific programs. Pioneer Community Energy customers in El Dorado Hills, Loomis, Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn, and Granite Bay qualify for GridGen — solar plus a Tesla Powerwall 3 at $0 upfront, no credit check, billed directly through their utility on a 25-year term. For all other California territories, our PPA options (LightReach, GoodLeap, EnFin) are $0 down with more flexible credit requirements than traditional solar loans. Learn about GridGen →
Yes, new energy-efficient windows do make a measurable difference in your energy bill — particularly in California's climate extremes. Single-pane or drafty windows account for 25–30% of a home's heating and cooling loss, forcing your HVAC to run longer and harder than necessary. Energy-efficient dual-pane replacements reduce that load, which means your solar system covers a greater share of your actual consumption. If you're sizing a solar system alongside a window replacement, we factor the reduced load into your system design so you're not overbuilding. Get a window estimate →
