Why We Build Your System 25% Bigger

Under NEM 3.0, you no longer get the 1-to-1 credit you used to receive with NEM 2.0. Exporting solar back to the grid earns you pennies on the dollar. That's why we design every system at 125% of your annual consumption — so your panels produce enough to fully power your home and charge your battery, without relying on grid credits that no longer make financial sense.

Paired with a Tesla Powerwall, your system stores excess solar during the day and runs your home off battery every evening from 4pm to 9pm — when SCE charges up to $0.58/kWh. This is how we eliminate your bill.

Professional Racking & Roof Mounting

Your panels are only as good as what holds them to your roof. We use IronRidge — the industry standard — engineered for strength, speed, and code compliance. Made in the USA.

Tile Roofs:

Specialized tile hooks mount securely beneath the tiles without damaging them. Your roof stays intact and watertight.

Comp/Shingle Roofs:

IronRidge FlashFoot2 mounts with integrated flashing — waterproof, code-compliant, and clean-looking from the street.

Real-Time Energy Monitoring

Every system includes app-based monitoring. See exactly how much power your panels produce, how much your home uses, and how much your battery stores — all from your phone.

With the Tesla app, you get real-time visibility into solar production, Powerwall charge level, home consumption, and grid status. With Enphase, you get per-panel monitoring so you can see every panel individually.

Knowledge is power — literally. Watching your system produce free electricity never gets old.

Smart Inverters — The Brain of Your System

The inverter converts DC power from your panels into AC power your home can use. We use the best in the industry.

Tesla Powerwall 3

Built-in solar inverter — no separate box needed. Fewer components, cleaner install, higher efficiency. Monitored through the Tesla app.

Enphase Microinverters

Panel-level optimization — each panel works independently. If one is shaded, the rest produce at full power. Per-panel monitoring included.

App-Based Control

Both Tesla and Enphase provide smartphone apps for real-time monitoring, alerts, and system management from anywhere.

Tesla Powerwall 3 — Your Energy Shield

Under NEM 3.0, batteries are essential. You need to use your own solar power during peak hours (4–9pm) instead of buying from SCE at up to $0.58/kWh.

Each Powerwall 3 stores 13.5 kWh with a built-in inverter. One battery handles lights, plugs, and essentials through peak. Running AC and heavy appliances? You'll want two.

Our goal: Zero grid power from 4pm to 9pm, every single day. That's how we eliminate your bill.

How Solar + Battery Gets It Done

Under NEM 3.0, the winning strategy is keeping your solar energy instead of giving it to Edison. A battery makes that possible.

The Old Way

Send Energy to Edison, Get a Credit

Under the old programs, your panels made energy during the day and you sent the extra to the grid. Edison gave you a full credit. That worked great. Under NEM 3.0, that credit is lower — so this approach alone doesn't go as far.

The Smart Way

Store Your Energy, Use It When It Counts

With a battery, you keep your solar energy and use it between 4 PM and 9 PM — when Edison charges the most. You're not relying on credits from the grid. You're powering your home with your own stored energy for free. That's how you take control of your bill.

OFF-PEAK · 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM

☀️ Solar Panels — Generating Free Electricity

Your solar panels are producing clean energy from sunrise. During off-peak hours, your panels power your home directly and send excess energy to charge your Tesla Powerwall battery. Any remaining surplus goes to the grid — but under NEM 3.0, we prioritize self-consumption and battery storage over exports.
