Quit Paying SDG&E's 4–9pm Rates.

With a battery, yes. NEM 3.0 cut what SDG&E pays you for exported power to a fraction of what it charges you in the evening. Without storage you sell cheap at noon and buy expensive at 6pm. A battery keeps your own power on your side of the meter, which is why almost every San Diego system we install now includes one.

It depends on what you want covered. The OCEAN Pro starts at 10 kWh and stacks to 80 kWh, with up to 24 kW continuous output — enough to carry AC, a well pump or an EV charger, not just the fridge and a few lights. We size it off your real usage and what you want running when the grid is down.

That's the point of the battery. It switches over automatically and keeps your backed-up circuits live. How long depends on capacity and what you're running — we walk through that on the consult so nobody is surprised at hour six of a public safety power shutoff.

Cost depends on system size, your roof and how much storage you want, so we quote it rather than guess. $0-down financing is available, and we check which incentive programs still apply to your home. We show the line items and the incentives together so you can see the real number.

The residential credit ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Some financing structures still carry federal incentives — your specialist will walk you through what applies to your home.

Not always. Tile and quality shingle roofs often have plenty of life left. If your roof has under about five years in it, replacing it first is usually cheaper than pulling panels later — we'll tell you straight either way during the site visit.

Typically a few weeks from signed proposal to install day, with the install itself usually one to two days. City permitting and SDG&E interconnection add time on the back end before you switch on — we handle both and keep you posted.
