Why now

Energy rates keep rising. Your rate doesn't have to.

Utility prices have climbed for years, and homeowners feel it every billing cycle. Solar lets you take control: produce your own power and lock in a lower rate now, instead of riding every future hike from your utility.

  • No more guessing what next year's bill will be
  • Predictable power that fits your budget
  • A cleaner home that's worth more at resale

Savings examples

What you could save in California

Representative examples for California homeowners — high, climbing utility bills turned into lower, predictable power.

Chula Vista, CA· SDG&E
Before
$580/mo
After
~40% lower

Some of the nation's highest rates, cut down to size

San Diego County pays the steepest electricity rates in the country through SDG&E. For a typical Chula Vista home, switching to solar locks in a far lower rate — often cutting the monthly cost by 30–40%.

Fresno, CA· PG&E
Before
$410/mo
After
$260/mo fixed

Brutal Central Valley AC bills, made predictable

A typical Fresno home runs the AC hard all summer, and PG&E bills push past $400 a month. A right-sized system trades that climbing bill for a lower, locked-in rate — predictable power all year.

Riverside, CA· SCE
Before
$390/mo
After
One fixed payment

Inland Empire heat, off the utility-rate treadmill

Inland Empire summers push SCE bills well past $350 a month. A custom system turns that into one lower, predictable payment — no more riding every rate hike from the utility.

Common questions

Straight answers about cost, ownership, and how the savings actually work.

See all FAQs →
Is it really $0 out of pocket?+

Yes. With our power-purchase (PPA) and lease options there's no down payment and no separate equipment bill. Instead of paying the utility for power, you pay a lower, predictable rate for the clean power your system produces. Prefer to own? We also offer cash and financing options.

Do I own the panels?+

Your choice. With a PPA or lease, a financing partner owns and maintains the system and you simply buy the power it makes at a locked-in rate. With cash or ownership financing, the system is yours outright. We walk you through both on your free consultation.

How much does solar cost?+

It's customized to your energy use, roof, and sun exposure — there's no one-size price. Our financing options remove the upfront cost entirely, and cash purchases typically pay for themselves within about 5–8 years.

How is solar cheaper than my utility bill?+

California utility rates rise most years, while your solar rate is locked in far lower up front — so as the utility climbs, your savings grow. And you start saving the day the system is switched on. We model your specific usage before you commit, so there's no guesswork.
