Technology
Is solar a proven technology?
Yes, solar is a well-established and reliable technology with decades of use.
Monocrystalline panels are made from a single, high-purity silicon crystal, giving them a dark, uniform appearance and higher efficiency. Polycrystalline panels are made from multiple silicon fragments melted together, resulting in a blue, speckled look and slightly lower efficiency. Monocrystalline are generally more expensive, while polycrystallines are more affordable..
Most solar panels come with a 25-year performance warranty and can last even longer with proper maintenance.
String Inverters: Think of this as one central box that converts the power from all your solar panels. It's generally less expensive. Microinverters: These are small converters attached to each solar panel. They can be better if you have shading issues.
DC (Direct Current): This is electricity that flows in one direction, like from a battery. Solar panels produce DC electricity.
AC (Alternating Current): This is electricity that changes direction, and it's what powers most homes and businesses.

Incentives
California offers a variety of incentives to make solar more affordable, including state programs like SGIP and NEM, as well as federal tax credits.
The SGIP is a California-wide program that provides rebates for installing energy storage systems, like batteries, alongside your solar system. It aims to support grid stability and encourage clean energy storage. Learn more about SGIP eligibility and how we can help you apply on our SGIP page
NEM 2.0 is a billing arrangement that allows solar customers to receive credits for excess solar energy sent back to the grid. These credits offset their electricity usage, reducing their bills. Find out if you qualify for NEM 2.0 and its benefits on our NEM 2.0 page
NEM 3.0 is the newer version of Net Energy Metering in California. It has changed the way solar customers are compensated for the energy they send back to the grid. It is important to understand the differences between NEM 2.0 and NEM 3.0. Learn more about NEM 3.0 and how it impacts solar customers on our NEM 3.0 page
The Federal Tax Credit (FTC), also known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), allows homeowners and businesses to deduct a percentage of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes.
In California, NEM 2.0 is no longer available for new solar customers. The transition to NEM 3.0 has occurred. If you applied to interconnect your solar system prior to the NEM 3.0 deadline, you may still be grandfathered into NEM 2.0. However, all new solar applications are now subject to NEM 3.0 rules. To determine your specific NEM status and understand how it impacts your solar investment, please contact us for a personalized consultation.
While most solar installations qualify for the FTC, eligibility depends on meeting federal requirements. Consult with a tax professional to confirm your specific eligibility.
Yes, if you live in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 High Fire Threat District (HFTD) in California, you may be eligible for the SGIP Equity Resiliency incentives, which provide increased rebates. In addition, you may need to meet one of the following criteria: be a Medical Baseline customer, meet low-income specifications and have an electric well pump, or have Life Support noted on your utility account. Check our dedicated SGIP page [link to SGIP page] for detailed requirements and eligibility information.
Inspection
Although you are not required to be home for the inspection, since most of the system is external, your presence may be required in case some of work is inside your home, for example, the attic.
The city will inspect the work to ensure it meets the city’s installation and safety requirements related to solar, roofing, and electrical.
No. After the City inspection, your electric utility company may/will install a Net Meter and then grant you Permission to Operate (PTO). Only after the PTO is granted, can the Solar system be “turned on” and connected to the Grid.
Site Evaluation
Although not necessary, we highly recommend that you are home in case we need to access internal areas, such as the attic, ask questions, and and we can discuss our findings
The main items noted during the Site Evaluation are: roof direction, condition, shading, obstructions (e.g. vents) and measurements, electric main panel condition, sizing, and open breaker slot availability, and, if an attic run is being considered, attic access and suitability.
After the Site Evaluation is completed, we will analyze and provide an initial system design within one or two days, including any concerns or recommendations.
