Loomis Gets More Sun Than
Almost Anywhere in Placer County.
Your Utility Bill Shouldn't Show It.
Loomis and the surrounding Placer County foothills average 5.7 peak sun hours per day — exceptional solar production for Northern California. Yet homeowners here are paying some of the highest residential PG&E rates in the state, with bills that spike in summer when central AC runs hardest and well pumps cycle constantly. In 2026, Loomis homeowners have more solar options than ever — including a Pioneer Community Energy program that installs solar and a Powerwall 3 on your roof for $0 upfront, billed directly on your existing utility bill.
PG&E residential rates in Placer County have increased over 40% in the last four years — and more increases are approved through 2026. Time-of-use plans mean you're paying peak rates every evening from 4–9pm, exactly when your home draws the most power after the solar day ends. A properly-sized system with battery storage eliminates that exposure entirely. Loomis homeowners with well pumps, pools, outbuildings, and EV chargers see the strongest returns because higher usage means more savings per panel.
Most Loomis residents are Pioneer Community Energy customers — a Community Choice Aggregator serving Placer and El Dorado counties. Pioneer's GridGen program allows eligible homeowners to install solar panels and a Powerwall 3 battery with zero upfront cost and no credit underwriting. The cost is added as a line item on your existing utility bill — no separate lender, no separate payment. Equipment specs, rates, and terms are confirmed at enrollment through Pioneer.
Solar With Watts is a California solar sales and home energy company serving homeowners in Loomis, Penryn, Newcastle, Rocklin, and throughout Placer County. We help PG&E and Pioneer Community Energy customers reduce their monthly utility bills with $0-down solar panels, home battery systems, and roofing replacement — designed around your actual property, usage, and utility rate structure. Whether you're on a PG&E time-of-use plan with rural property loads or a Pioneer Community Energy customer eligible for the GridGen solar program, we build systems that work for your specific situation. Every homeowner gets a transparent proposal, a no-credit-pull eligibility check, and a licensed installation through our EPC partner Solar Savings Direct (CSLB #1065773). Most projects go from signed agreement to powered-on system in typically 30–45 days.

Most solar companies size systems for a home's base electricity usage. For Loomis rural properties that approach undersizes the system. We account for well pump cycling, outbuilding circuits, agricultural equipment, EV chargers, and pool or spa loads when designing your system. Getting this right from the start means maximum savings and a system that actually covers your property.

Questions specific to PG&E and Pioneer Community Energy customers in Loomis and Placer County — no fluff, no sales pitch.
PPA: A third party owns the panels permanently. You pay only for the electricity they produce at a rate lower than PG&E. $0 down, no ownership, no maintenance.

PPA: The agreement transfers to the new buyer as part of the home sale — many buyers see this as a benefit since they get immediate bill savings with no upfront cost.
