Solar in California
Built Around Your California Property
A useful California plan starts with the property itself, then accounts for the utility, local authority, equipment, rate structure, and household goals that shape the project.
Property Context
Review roof condition and orientation, shade, available space, household electricity use, and optional storage goals before shaping a concept.
Jurisdiction Context
Confirm the city or county permitting authority and its current plan-review, fire, structural, and inspection requirements for the property.
Utility Context
Identify the serving electric utility and customer status before applying the relevant interconnection, billing, and export-compensation rules.
Project Documentation
Record utility assumptions, the permit path, equipment, responsibilities, program verification, and next steps in writing.

Current program check
Verify Current California Programs
California solar billing and export compensation depend on utility territory and whether a homeowner is an existing or new solar customer. The current Solar Billing Plan differs from older net-metering arrangements. Battery and paired solar-storage programs, including SGIP, have separate eligibility and budget rules; funding and reservation status can change. No program is included in a proposal until current eligibility is verified. The former federal residential credit is unavailable for expenditures after December 31, 2025. Consult a qualified tax professional.

California FAQ
California Solar and Battery Questions
Straightforward answers for the first stage of a property-specific review.
How do I confirm service for my California address?
Share the property address for review. Sunburst serves residential customers in California, but final availability depends on the home, utility territory, local authority, project type, and current capacity. No statewide or ZIP-level qualification is automatic.
What shapes a California solar plan?
Roof condition and orientation, shade, household electricity use, available space, utility territory, customer status, local requirements, equipment compatibility, and optional storage goals all shape the plan.
Which solar or battery programs may be available?
Solar billing and battery-program rules vary by utility, customer status, eligibility, and current budget or reservation status. No program is assumed, and tax questions require review by a qualified tax professional.
Review current program detailsCan battery storage be included with solar?
Battery storage is an optional companion to solar when the property, equipment, system design, utility rules, and household goals support it. The plan should document prioritized loads without promising a specific backup duration or outage performance.
How are utility and permitting requirements confirmed?
The address identifies the electric utility and city or county authority. Current interconnection, billing, fire, structural, permit, inspection, and property requirements are then reviewed before the written plan is finalized.
How long can a solar project take?
Timing depends on property review, design, local permits, utility interconnection, equipment, inspections, and current capacity. A property-specific plan should provide current milestones instead of relying on a blanket California timeline.
