Solar Benefits

Tax Credit

When you buy a residential solar power system, you may be eligible for a “Residential Renewable Energy” federal investment tax credit. Please consult your tax advisor.

Sell Extra Energy

If you produce more electricity than you can consume, you can use net metering to feed it back into the grid for credit on your electric bill.

Go Green

Show our planet some love and support San Diego’s commitment to 100% clean energy.

Be Prepared to go Off the Grid

A Home Battery Storage System will allow you to never worry about when you might lose power. San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) will occasionally turn off power in several communities around the County, and we want to make sure you are ready for it.
