Why Los Angeles homeowners are switching

From the Valley to the Westside, LA has plenty of sun and long cooling seasons, which is where solar pays off.

  • Stop overpaying LADWP with a lower, more predictable rate
  • $0 down with approved financing (PPA, lease, or loan), or buy it outright
  • A system designed for your roof and the power you actually use
  • Your installer handles the permits, utility paperwork, and inspection
  • Serving Los Angeles homeowners and businesses in LADWP (LADWP) territory.

Going solar on LADWP

LADWP is city-owned and sets its own solar rules, separate from the state's Net Billing Tariff for PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E customers. Your installer designs your system around LADWP's current program.

Common questions

Straight answers about cost, ownership, and how the savings work in Los Angeles.

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.

What do I need to qualify?

Usually you need to own your home or building, have roof or ground space that gets good sun, and be on a California utility we serve, like PG&E, SCE, or SDG&E. A free quote is the fastest way to find out. We can confirm eligibility on the call.
