RESIDENTIAL SOLAR SERVICES

• 

  New Installs

  We would love to talk to you about your power needs and explore whether a solar system will be best for you and your home. Feel free to contact us and see our our process page for more information on new solar system installs.

  Home Batteries

  Solar systems can make peak power during the day, but any energy you’re not using at that moment is put back on the power grid and shared with your neighbors. Now the power company does give you a credit for all the power you are making them. But how nice it would be to capture all the extra power your making.

  And that is the beauty of Home Batteries, storing power, for when you need it!

  Main Panel Upgrades

  Is your old electrical paneling tripping and giving you nothing but problems? Contact us to schedule a main panel upgrade. Getting rid of the headache is easier than you think!

• 

  System Troubleshooting

  Having an existing system that doesn’t seem to be eliminating your bill anymore? We would be happy to come out and take thorough look at your system. We will identify any issues with your system and give you a complete report.

• 

  Panel Cleaning

  Like anything in life, if you keep it clean and well maintained, it will last you! The same goes with your solar panel system. Dust and debris can build up on your solar panels and eventually affect your production of solar energy. We offer yearly, and bi yearly cleaning plans.

• 

  Solar Inspections

  Purchasing a home with solar? We get our homes inspected for termites and other damages, but solar systems as of yet are rarely inspected.

  One of the most valuable aspects of your home is being overlooked.

  Nothing is more upsetting then settling into your new home and realizing your electric bill is not covered as the previous owner claimed! It could be the system is simply not functioning correctly, or may not be large enough to cover your power usage. Take the guess work out of the new home purchase and have your entire solar panel system inspected.

• What is SDCP's Solar Battery Savings Program?

  San Diego Community Power’s new Solar Battery Savings Program is a customer-focused program designed to support single-family homeowners in our service territory who are ready to invest in clean energy and support the grid by installing solar and battery storage on their homes or complement an existing solar system with a new battery storage system.

  The program provides two financial incentives for participating customers: an upfront incentive (in the form of a rebate) to minimize the initial cost of the battery system and a performance incentive for a daily dispatch of the battery to maximize benefits for the customer
  and the grid.

  The performance incentive is based on the percentage of battery capacity that a participant dispatches to their home and/or to the grid during a preset window that aligns with the on-peak periods.

  With this program, solar and battery installation is more affordable for SDCP customer households.

  Customer Eligibility

  SDCP customers that meet the following criteria are eligible for this program:

  Must be an active SDCP residential customer

  • Customers who have opted out must return to SDCP to be eligible.

  System equipment must be interconnected and permitted by the appropriate local permitting jurisdiction.

  Battery must be fully charged by on-site solar (no grid charging allowed).

  Battery cannot simultaniously be participating (or enrolling) in any other active demand response programs (e.g., emergency load relief program (“ELRP”), demand side grid support (DSGS”)).

  Battery systems must be installed after the SDCP application is submitted

  • The interconnection application must be dated after the contractor has been approved for the program. Please note, as we
    will not be able to check for that until the PTO letter is received.

  How does adding a battery benefit you?

  Reduce your energy bill
  By installing a battery in your home, you can use it during the “On- Peak” period between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., to lower your utility bill when energy costs are higher.

  ---

  Leverage credits
  Discharging your battery between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. allows you to earn higher credits for any excess battery power you send back to the grid.

  ---

  Receive ongoing incentives
  When you participate in this program, you can leverage an additional $0.10/kWh during the daily dispatch window whether your battery is being used to power your home or go back to the utility grid!

  ---

  Support the local utility grid
  Energy demand is often at its highest during the “On-Peak” period; by discharging your battery during that time, you are supporting the local utility grid and your community.
