Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in San Diego
Who is the local utility in San Diego and how does net billing work?
San Diego is in San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) territory. California's NEM 3.0 net billing applies: exported energy is credited at hourly avoided-cost rates that vary by time-of-day and season. We model export values and TOU impacts for your specific usage profile.
How does permitting and interconnection work in San Diego?
Permitting in San Diego is handled by the City of San Diego Building Department (or the local authority having jurisdiction). Interconnection is submitted to San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). Typical timelines for permit + interconnection range from 2–6 weeks, but can vary with workload and HOA approvals.
What incentives apply to San Diego solar projects?
Most San Diego projects qualify for the 30% federal investment tax credit (ITC). California's property tax exclusion for active solar energy systems generally applies to eligible installations. Local utility incentives and export credits vary by program; we confirm all current options during your proposal.
How do San Diego's climate conditions affect performance and maintenance?
San Diego's marine layer and coastal conditions can reduce production by ~10–15% at times, and salt air requires corrosion-resistant hardware. We recommend quarterly rinsing/cleaning and routine monitoring.
How much can I realistically save with solar in San Diego?
In San Diego, annual bill reduction typically ranges from about $1,500–$2,800 depending on system size, usage patterns, TOU rates, and weather. Actual results vary; your proposal includes a site-specific model.
