Solar that works with your utility, whoever bills you
Interconnection, net metering and rebates look different depending on who serves your address. We handle the filing and explain what your rules actually mean for your bill.
One design process, five sets of utility rules
Southern California is served by a mix of investor-owned and municipal utilities, and each one has its own interconnection queue, export credit structure and inspection sequence. We confirm who serves your address first, then design and file around those rules instead of a generic template.
SDG&E
Most of our San Diego work interconnects through SDG&E, so we know how their application queue behaves, what the meter swap process looks like, and how long permission to operate usually takes. Nearly every new system here lands on NEM 3.0, which changes how much a battery matters for your bill.
- NEM 3.0 export credits make storage worth pricing out
- Meter and panel upgrades coordinated with the city permit
- We file the interconnection paperwork for you
SCE / Southern California Edison
Edison territory covers a wide spread of jurisdictions, and the building department you deal with changes far more than the utility rules do. We confirm which AHJ applies to your address before filing so an install does not stall between two agencies.
- Rate plan review before we finalize a design
- Service panel capacity checked early
- Battery backup sized around outage and PSPS risk
LADWP
LADWP runs its own interconnection and inspection process separate from the investor-owned utilities, with its own timelines and forms. If your home is served by LADWP, we plan for that schedule up front instead of promising a date the process cannot support.
- LADWP-specific interconnection forms handled in house
- Separate inspection sequence planned into the timeline
- Net metering rules explained in plain numbers
Riverside utilities
Inland Empire homes may sit with a municipal provider rather than Edison, and the export rules and rebate programs are not the same. We check who actually bills you before we model savings, because guessing here is how projections end up wrong.
- Municipal versus investor-owned rules confirmed first
- Local rebate and program availability checked
- Heat-driven production modeling for inland roofs
PG&E
Our home base is Southern California, but we occasionally support owners with property in PG&E territory. If that is you, tell us up front and we will be honest about whether we are the right fit or whether a local crew serves you better.
- Honest scoping before we take the job
- Same design and documentation standards
- Referral if travel makes the project impractical
What we handle on your behalf
Applications, single-line diagrams and utility forms submitted and tracked to approval.
City or county permit plus the utility inspection sequence, scheduled in the right order.
Service capacity checked early so a panel upgrade does not surprise you mid project.
We follow the file until your system is cleared to turn on and producing.
Manufacturer systems we install
Our roofing and solar systems are built with components from these manufacturers.
