Common questions
Straight answers about cost, ownership, and how the savings work in San Diego.
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.
What do I need to qualify?+
You generally need to own your home or building, have suitable roof or ground space, and be a customer of a participating California utility (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and more). The fastest way to find out is a free quote — we confirm eligibility on the spot.
