Start With Your Electric Bill

Your utility bill is a useful starting point. It shows how much electricity you use, how that changes through the year, and what you pay for it. We also want to know what is changing at home, from an electric vehicle to a heat pump or a growing household.

Next, we consider your roof, available space, shading, and electrical equipment. Together, these details help guide the size and design of your solar system.

  • Bring recent utility bills and any existing solar production records.
  • Tell us about planned appliances, EV charging, or roof work.
  • Identify which parts of your home you want to keep running during an outage.

Our team handles your solar installation with in-house crews, giving you a clear point of contact as the project moves forward.

What Does Home Solar Look Like in 2026?

Solar value depends on more than the number of panels on your roof. When your home produces, stores, and uses electricity also matters.

For homeowners on California’s Solar Billing Plan, also called the Net Billing Tariff, exported solar energy earns credits that vary by time. Those credits differ from the rates you pay for electricity. Your utility and existing tariff determine which rules apply to your home.

Make Solar and Battery Storage Work Together

Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. Your home can use that power as it is produced, while a compatible battery can store excess energy for later.

That stored energy can help reduce purchases from the grid during higher-priced evening hours. The right balance depends on your daily use, available solar production, battery capacity, and utility rate plan.

We can compare solar-only and solar-plus-storage options for your needs. Explore our home battery storage services, or read the California Solar Consumer Protection Guide for an independent explanation of solar billing.

Compare Purchase and Prepaid-Lease Options

Choose a payment approach that fits your household. Purchasing a system and using a prepaid solar lease involve different upfront costs, ownership arrangements, and long-term responsibilities.

A prepaid lease generally involves an upfront payment for use of a system owned by another company. Ask us to compare the available terms with a purchase, including any financing options offered for your project.

  • Compare total costs and payment schedules.
  • Review who owns the equipment and handles maintenance.
  • Understand warranty coverage, home-sale transfers, and end-of-term options.

We will help you review the proposal without assuming a fixed payback period or the same savings for every home.

Plan for Outages Before They Happen

Standard grid-connected solar alone generally shuts down when utility power fails. Keeping selected appliances running requires a system designed for backup, with compatible storage and the necessary controls.

Start by choosing your priorities: refrigeration, lights, internet equipment, or other essential loads. Then we can discuss the battery capacity and system design those needs require.

Backup duration varies with battery charge, equipment capacity, electricity use, and available solar generation. We will explain the proposed system’s limits so you know what to expect.

From System Design to Everyday Support

After you choose a proposal, the project moves through design, permitting, installation, inspection, and utility approval. Timing depends on the property, project scope, and the agencies involved. Our team guides you through the steps and explains what comes next.

Once the system is operating, monitoring helps you track production and spot changes. Available monitoring features depend on your equipment. We can also explain how to request service and what routine care your system needs.

Check Current Solar Incentives

Available programs and eligibility can change. Before comparing offers, review our solar incentives and tax credits page for current information, then ask which options may apply to your proposed system and payment arrangement.

Your personalized proposal should explain the assumptions behind estimated savings, including electricity use, utility rates, equipment performance, and payment terms. That makes it easier to compare your choices.
