The federal solar tax credit is the best incentive available to California homeowners. It is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit that reduces your federal tax liability by 30% of your solar installation costs.
The solar tax credit can help you save thousands of dollars on your solar panel installation, making it easier to manage the upfront costs of going solar and speeding up your return on investment. It covers virtually all costs associated with a solar installation, including solar battery storage.

Net Energy Metering (NEM) is a California solar incentive system that allows you to trade electricity with your utility company. You can export the excess power your solar panels generate to your utility company and be compensated with a credit that can be used to offset the cost of electricity you buy from the grid.
Solar Is Still Worth it Under NEM 3.0 in California
Recently, California passed Net Energy Metering 3.0, a new policy that will change net metering in California. Under NEM 3.0, solar customers won’t be paid the full retail rate for electricity they export to the grid. Instead, export rates will vary depending on the time of day and year.
Even though NEM 3.0 changes net metering, it doesn’t get rid of this long-standing California solar incentive. You will still be paid for the electricity you export to the grid under NEM 3.0, but to get the most value out of the incentive, you’ll need to be strategic about when you send energy to the grid.
Under NEM 3.0, net metering rates will be highest during peak demand times. If you install solar panels and battery storage, you can hold onto your excess electricity until net metering rates are at their highest point for the day and export your electricity then. We can help you automate this process so you don’t even have to think about it.
