class=\"palmetto-section-intro\">Electricity in California costs nearly twice the national average \u2014 and it&#8217;s been climbing steadily for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">In 2021, Californians paid about 22.8 cents per kWh. By 2024, that number had climbed to 31.9 cents \u2014 a 40% increase in just three years, compared to the national average of 16.5 cents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Solar panels allow homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing how much they buy from the grid. That means less exposure to rate increases \u2014 and more predictability in monthly energy costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Through Palmetto&#8217;s LightReach program, homeowners can go solar with no upfront cost. You pay a fixed monthly rate, and Palmetto owns and maintains the system \u2014 so you&#8217;re protected from rising utility bills without the financial risk.<\/p>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"electricity-chart-container\">\n                <h3 class=\"chart-title\">Price of Energy: California vs National Average<\/h3>\n\n                <div class=\"bar-chart-container\">\n  <div class=\"y-axis\">\n    <div class=\"y-label\">0\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">10\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">20\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">30\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">40\u00a2<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"chart-area\">\n    <div class=\"grid-lines\">\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2021 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 34.25%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">13.7\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 57.00%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">22.8\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2022 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 37.50%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">15.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 64.50%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">25.8\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2023 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 40.00%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">16.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 73.75%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">29.5\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2024 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 41.25%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">16.5\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 79.75%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">31.9\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x-axis\">\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2021<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2022<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2023<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2024<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart-legend\">\n  <div class=\"legend-item\">\n    <span class=\"legend-color us-color\"><\/span>\n    <span class=\"legend-label\">US Average<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"legend-item\">\n    <span class=\"legend-color local-color\"><\/span>\n    <span class=\"legend-label\">California<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/data\/eia861\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Energy Information Administration, Form 861<\/a><\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-section\">\n            <h3 class=\"palmetto-section-subheading\">California Area Utility Providers<\/h3>\n\n            <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-grid\">\n                <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-text\">\n                    <p class=\"palmetto-section-intro\">California homeowners are served by several utility companies \u2014 and what you pay for electricity depends heavily on which one serves your area. Based on 2023 data (the most recent available), rates vary widely across the state.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">SDG&#038;E customers pay the most at 45.5\u00a2 per kWh \u2014 nearly three times the 2023 national average of 16.0\u00a2. PG&#038;E (34.0\u00a2) and SCE (32.3\u00a2) also exceed the 2023 California state average of 29.5\u00a2. Publicly owned utilities like SMUD (16.9\u00a2) and City of Anaheim (17.5\u00a2) sit near the national average.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">For homeowners on higher-rate utilities, solar can offer real value \u2014 every kilowatt-hour your panels produce is one you don&#8217;t buy from the grid.

This means that when you install solar panels, your property taxes will <strong>not increase<\/strong> as a result of the added home value \u2014 potentially saving homeowners hundreds of dollars per year. For example, on a $21,000 solar system, this exclusion can save approximately $150\u2013$260 annually in property taxes.<\/p><p>This exclusion applies to both solar-only and solar-paired-with-battery-storage systems. It is available to residential and commercial property owners throughout California and does not require a separate application in most cases \u2014 the exclusion is applied automatically when the solar system is reported to the county assessor. The exclusion has been a long-standing benefit for California solar adopters, helping to ensure that going solar does not result in a higher tax bill.<\/p><p><strong>Important deadline:<\/strong> This property tax exclusion is currently set to expire on <strong>January 1, 2027<\/strong>. After that date, new solar installations will be subject to property tax assessment based on the added value of the system. Homeowners who install solar before the exclusion expires will benefit from the protection for the life of their system under current law.

This means that when you purchase solar panels, inverters, racking, and qualifying energy storage components, you do not pay California state sales tax on those items. Given that California&#8217;s statewide base sales tax rate is 7.25% (with local additions), this exemption can represent a meaningful reduction in the upfront cost of a solar or battery installation.<\/p><p>The exemption applies to equipment used in solar energy systems, including photovoltaic panels and associated hardware, as well as battery storage systems paired with solar. It is typically applied at the point of sale by the solar installer or equipment supplier, so homeowners generally do not need to take any special action to claim it \u2014 the savings are built into your installation quote.<\/p><p>This exemption stacks with other California incentives such as the property tax exclusion and SGIP battery rebates, making it one of several ways the state reduces the cost of going solar. If you are comparing quotes from installers, make sure your quote reflects the sales tax exemption on equipment costs. For specific questions about which components qualify, consult the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) or your solar installer.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">Net Billing Tariff (NEM 3.0) \u2013 California Solar Export Credit Policy<\/span>\n        <span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n        <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>California&#8217;s current solar export policy is the <strong>Net Billing Tariff (NBT)<\/strong>, commonly called NEM 3.0, which took effect on April 15, 2023 for customers of PG&#038;E, SCE, and SDG&#038;E. Under this policy, excess solar electricity sent to the grid is credited at <strong>avoided-cost rates averaging $0.05\u2013$0.08 per kWh<\/strong> \u2014 roughly 75% lower than the near-retail rates (~$0.30\/kWh) available under the previous NEM 2.0 policy. Because export credits are now much lower, pairing solar with a battery storage system is strongly recommended to maximize self-consumption and savings.<\/p><p>Customers who submitted a solar interconnection application before April 14, 2023 are <strong>grandfathered into NEM 2.0<\/strong> and receive retail-rate export credits for 20 years from their Permission to Operate (PTO) date. The final deadline for NEM 2.0 grandfathered systems to achieve Permission to Operate was April 15, 2026. Importantly, adding battery storage to an existing NEM 2.0 system does not affect your grandfathered status. NEM 3.0 also includes an <strong>ACC Plus adder<\/strong> \u2014 a slightly elevated export credit available to new solar customers who interconnect before the end of 2027, after which the adder phases out. Low-income customers and those in disadvantaged communities receive higher adder rates.<\/p><p>Customers of municipal utilities such as LADWP and SMUD are <strong>not subject to NEM 3.0<\/strong> \u2014 these utilities operate their own net metering programs and currently credit solar exports at full retail rates, which is a significantly better deal. If you are a PG&#038;E, SCE, or SDG&#038;E customer installing solar under NEM 3.0, your system should be designed for maximum self-consumption, and you are required to enroll in a Time-of-Use (TOU) rate plan that charges more during peak evening hours and less during off-peak times, incentivizing battery storage to shift solar energy use to those high-cost periods.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">SMUD My Energy Optimizer Partner+ Battery Incentive<\/span>\n        <span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n        <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) offers its <strong>My Energy Optimizer Partner+<\/strong> program, which provides substantial incentives for homeowners who install an eligible battery storage system and enroll it in SMUD&#8217;s virtual power plant (VPP).

To qualify, your household income must be below $106,000, and the solar system must be installed on a home that was built before 2020. This rebate is available exclusively to customers within AMP&#8217;s service territory in the City of Alameda.<\/p><p>This program is designed to make solar more accessible to moderate-income homeowners in Alameda who might otherwise face financial barriers to going solar. The $500 rebate is applied after installation and can be combined with other available incentives, such as the California property tax exclusion and the sales tax exemption on solar equipment, to further reduce the net cost of your system.<\/p><p>Homeowners interested in this rebate should contact Alameda Municipal Power directly to confirm current program availability, application requirements, and any documentation needed to demonstrate income eligibility. As a municipal utility, AMP also operates its own net metering program, which may offer more favorable solar export credit rates than the statewide NEM 3.0 policy that applies to PG&#038;E, SCE, and SDG&#038;E customers.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">Pasadena Water and Power \u2013 Residential Solar Rebate<\/span>\n        <span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n        <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) launched a new <strong>residential solar rebate program in April 2026<\/strong>, offering customers <strong>$0.60 per watt<\/strong> for new rooftop solar installations. Income-qualified households receive an enhanced rebate of <strong>$1.00 per watt<\/strong>, making solar significantly more affordable for lower-income Pasadena residents. This program is available exclusively to customers within PWP&#8217;s service territory in the City of Pasadena.<\/p><p>As a municipal utility, Pasadena Water and Power operates independently from the statewide NEM 3.0 policy that applies to PG&#038;E, SCE, and SDG&#038;E customers. PWP customers may benefit from more favorable net metering terms in addition to this upfront rebate, making the overall economics of going solar potentially more attractive for Pasadena homeowners compared to customers of the large investor-owned utilities.<\/p><p>Homeowners interested in the PWP solar rebate should contact Pasadena Water and Power directly to confirm current program details, available funding, application procedures, and income qualification thresholds. Rebate programs at municipal utilities can have limited budgets that are exhausted over time, so it is advisable to apply as early as possible. This rebate can be stacked with the California property tax exclusion and sales tax exemption on solar equipment for additional savings.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">Rancho Mirage Energy Authority \u2013 Battery Storage Rebate<\/span>\n        <span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n        <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>The Rancho Mirage Energy Authority (RMEA) offers a <strong>battery storage rebate ranging from $500 to $1,500<\/strong> for residential customers who install a qualifying home battery system. This rebate is designed to encourage energy storage adoption in the Rancho Mirage area, helping homeowners reduce their reliance on the grid during peak demand periods and improve energy resilience.<\/p><p>Battery storage is increasingly important in California&#8217;s desert communities, where extreme heat drives high air conditioning loads and grid stress. A home battery system allows homeowners to store solar energy generated during the day and use it during evening peak hours, reducing electricity costs under Time-of-Use rate structures. The RMEA rebate helps offset the upfront cost of battery installation and can be combined with other state-level incentives such as the SGIP rebate (if available) and the California sales tax exemption on storage equipment.<\/p><p>Homeowners in Rancho Mirage interested in this rebate should contact the Rancho Mirage Energy Authority directly to confirm current program availability, eligible battery models, rebate amounts, and application requirements. Program details, including the rebate range and eligibility criteria, may be updated periodically based on available funding.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">Federal Commercial Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit (Section 48E) \u2013 Solar<\/span>\n        <span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n        <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>The federal <strong>Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit (Section 48E)<\/strong> provides a <strong>30% tax credit<\/strong> on the cost of commercial solar energy systems. This credit is available to businesses, commercial property owners, nonprofits (as a direct pay option), and other non-residential entities installing solar in California. Unlike the residential ITC (which has expired), the commercial Section 48E credit remains available in 2026, though on a tightened timeline following recent federal legislation.<\/p><p>To qualify, a commercial solar project must either <strong>begin construction before July 4, 2026<\/strong>, or be <strong>placed in service by December 31, 2027<\/strong>. Safe-harbor provisions allow projects that have begun construction (by starting physical work or incurring at least 5% of total project costs) to lock in eligibility even if completion extends beyond the deadline. Projects of 1 megawatt (MW) or larger are subject to prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements to receive the full 30% credit rate.<\/p><p>In addition to the base 30% credit, commercial projects may be eligible for bonus adders, including the Energy Community bonus (for projects in areas with historical fossil fuel employment) and the Low-Income Communities bonus. A companion <strong>Production Tax Credit (PTC) of 2.6 cents per kWh<\/strong> is also available as an alternative to the ITC for qualifying commercial solar projects, providing a per-kilowatt-hour credit for the first 10 years of system operation. Businesses should consult a tax professional to determine which credit structure \u2014 ITC or PTC \u2014 provides the greatest benefit for their specific project.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Depending on your utility, the option available to you is either a <strong>Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)<\/strong> or a <strong>solar lease<\/strong>. Customers of Southern California Edison (SCE), San Diego Gas &#038; Electric (SDG&#038;E), and Pacific Gas &#038; Electric (PG&#038;E) have access to a PPA, where you pay a fixed rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the energy your panels produce. Customers of the Los Angeles Department of Water &#038; Power (LADWP) and Imperial Irrigation District (IID) have access to a lease, where you pay a simple, fixed monthly amount. Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) customers should contact us directly to discuss available options.<\/p>\n\n<p>With either option, you avoid the large upfront cost of buying a system outright \u2014 and you skip the maintenance responsibilities that come with ownership. <a href=\"https:\/\/palmetto.com\/solar-buy-or-lease\">Comparing leasing to a cash purchase<\/a>, the tradeoff is straightforward: leasing means lower risk and no surprise repair bills, while a cash purchase means you own the system outright but are responsible for its upkeep.<\/p>\n\n<p>Through LightReach, Palmetto designs, installs, and maintains your system \u2014 all at no cost to you. Every plan includes detailed solar mapping, premium all-black panels, a high-efficiency inverter, permitting, and full project management. Palmetto also backs each system with a <strong>90% Production Guarantee<\/strong>: if your panels fall short, we credit you the difference. It&#8217;s a worry-free path to solar built on transparency and long-term value.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"lightreach-card\">\n        <div class=\"lightreach-logo\">\n        <svg
