California is the largest solar market in the country, and high electric rates from PG&E, Southern California Edison, and SDG&E make solar compelling. Under California's current Net Billing Tariff (NEM 3.0), homeowners earn credit for the solar power they export — and pairing solar with battery storage is now especially valuable for maximizing savings. California also offers the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) for batteries and a property-tax exclusion for the home value solar adds. Net metering is what makes home solar pay off month to month: when your panels make more than you use, the surplus flows to the grid and you earn a bill credit; at night you pull power back and those credits offset it — for a lower, more predictable monthly energy cost.
In California, net metering is offered through utilities like PG&E, Southern California Edison, and SDG&E. See the full breakdown on our California solar page, or learn why your electric bill keeps rising.
