Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in San Francisco
Who is the local utility in San Francisco and how does net billing work?
San Francisco is in Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) territory. Under NEM 3.0 net billing, exports receive avoided-cost credits that change hourly. Fog and marine layer can reduce midday exports; we account for this in system sizing and savings modeling.
How does permitting and interconnection work in San Francisco?
Permitting in San Francisco is handled by the City of San Francisco Building Department (or the local authority having jurisdiction). Interconnection is submitted to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). Typical timelines for permit + interconnection range from 2–6 weeks, but can vary with workload and HOA approvals.
What incentives apply to San Francisco solar projects?
Most San Francisco 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 Francisco's climate conditions affect performance and maintenance?
San Francisco often has fog and marine layer that can reduce solar output by ~20–30% during certain periods. We size systems conservatively and recommend quarterly cleaning to mitigate residue and debris.
How much can I realistically save with solar in San Francisco?
In San Francisco, annual bill reduction typically ranges from about $1,200–$2,500 depending on system size, usage patterns, TOU rates, and weather. We provide a personalized savings estimate using your actual utility data.
