SDG&E Bills Hit
$300–$500/Month.
Solar Fixes That.
San Diego Gas & Electric has the highest residential electricity rates in the continental US — averaging $0.46/kWh and rising 10–15% every year. Solar + battery storage is how San Diego County homeowners take back control of what they pay.
Solar self-consumption avoids this entire charge
"Our SDG&E bill was $390 every month — even higher in summer. After solar and a Powerwall we're paying $22. Ed was straight with us from the first call. No pressure, just real numbers."

SDG&E Rates Have Risen 56% Since 2020 —
And More Increases Are Already Approved
San Diego Gas & Electric consistently ranks as the most expensive major residential utility in the continental United States. Unlike most utilities, SDG&E rate increases have averaged 10–15% per year — with no credible projection of rates decreasing over the next 25 years. Every year you delay solar installation is another year of paying an increasingly expensive grid bill.
| Year | Avg Rate ($/kWh) | Avg Monthly Bill | Annual Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $0.27 | ~$135/mo | Baseline |
| 2021 | $0.29 | ~$145/mo | +7.4% |
| 2022 | $0.33 | ~$165/mo | +13.8% |
| 2023 | $0.39 | ~$195/mo | +18.2% |
| 2024 | $0.43 | ~$215/mo | +10.3% |
| 2025 | $0.46 | ~$230/mo | +7.0% |
| 2026 est. | $0.49 | ~$245/mo | +6.5% approved |
SDG&E rates have risen +81% since 2020. A homeowner who locked into solar in 2020 has avoided every one of those increases. The homeowner who waits until 2027 will pay the 2027 rate — every month, forever, until they go solar. Sources: SDG&E rate schedules · CPUC
