California Solar Incentives

In California, now is an ideal time to invest in solar. In addition to statewide incentives, California homeowners are able to benefit from a 30-percent Solar Tax Credit in 2024, therefore helping them achieve a return of investment (ROI) faster. California is also the sunniest state in the U.S. which means that homeowners with a solar system are set up for success from day one. With the roll-out of NEM 3.0, it’s also possible to earn credits for every time you offload excess energy to your area’s power grid.

California electric rates continue to rise. In 2023 they were up 14-percent, with rates scheduled to increase 17.6-percent in 2024. California has also experienced an increase in the frequency (and length) of power outages in recent years. Many homeowners who go solar ultimately decide to add a battery storage system with ‘blackout protection’—a feature that allows the battery to power one’s home without being connected to the local grid.

    Great company prices were good and I got set up with a sweet Tesla Powerwall and kept my Nem 2.0 status. You won't find a more affordable deal. Monalee is the place.

    Great Service. Still waiting on inspection and the solar to actually work, but hopefully the last half goes as smooth as the first. They are asking for full payment now, even though it's not up and working yet.
