Your rate rises slowly. Theirs keeps climbing.

California utility rates keep going up. Solar starts you at a lower rate that rises more slowly, and the difference between the two is what you keep.

Common questions

Straight answers on cost, ownership, and how the savings work.

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

Yes, with approved financing. A PPA, lease, or solar loan covers the system, so there's no down payment and no equipment bill. You pay a lower monthly rate for the power instead of paying the utility. Prefer to pay cash? We can set that up too.

Do I own the panels?

That's up to you. With a PPA or lease, a financing company owns the system and you buy the power it makes at a rate set in your agreement. With a loan or cash, the system is yours. We'll walk you through both on your free consultation.

How much does solar cost?

It depends on your energy use, your roof, and how much sun it gets, so there's no one price. Financing takes the upfront cost to $0. If you'd rather own the system, we'll show you the payback timeline on your free quote.

How is solar cheaper than my utility bill?

California utility rates go up most years. Your solar rate starts lower and stays predictable, so the gap grows over time. Your quote puts your year-one solar cost next to your utility bill, so you see the savings before you sign.
