Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in San Diego

How much do solar panels cost in San Diego?
Solar panel costs in San Diego typically range from $15,000 to $30,000 before incentives, depending on system size and equipment selection. After applying the 30% federal tax credit and any local incentives, most homeowners pay between $10,500 and $21,000 for their solar installation. Our free consultations provide accurate pricing based on your specific energy needs and property characteristics.
How much can I save with solar in San Diego?
San Diego homeowners typically save $1,500 to $3,000 annually on electricity costs with properly sized solar systems. Over the 25-year system lifespan, total savings often exceed $50,000 when accounting for SDG&E's projected rate increases. Your specific savings depend on current energy usage, system size, and utility rate schedule.
What solar incentives are available in San Diego?
The primary incentive is the 30% federal solar tax credit, which remains at 30% through 2032. San Diego County property tax exemptions mean your solar installation won't increase your property taxes, despite adding significant value to your home. Net metering with SDG&E provides ongoing credits for excess energy production.
How long does solar installation take?
Most residential solar installations in San Diego are completed within 1-3 days. The entire process from contract signing to system activation typically takes 6-12 weeks, with most of this time dedicated to permitting and utility interconnection processes rather than actual installation work.
Do solar panels work well in San Diego's climate?
San Diego's climate is ideal for solar energy production, with over 260 sunny days annually and mild temperatures that optimize panel efficiency. Even during winter months and marine layer periods, solar systems in San Diego consistently outperform national averages for energy production.
What happens during a power outage with solar panels?
Standard grid-tied solar systems automatically shut down during power outages for safety reasons. However, solar systems with battery storage like Tesla Powerwall can provide backup power during outages, keeping essential circuits or your entire home powered until grid power is restored.
How do I choose the best solar company in San Diego?
Look for companies with local experience, proper licensing and insurance, strong customer reviews, and partnerships with reputable equipment manufacturers. Verify NABCEP certifications for installers and ensure the company provides comprehensive warranties on both equipment and workmanship.
What maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance in San Diego's climate. Annual visual inspections, occasional cleaning to remove dust and debris, and monitoring system performance are typically sufficient. Most quality solar installations require no significant maintenance for 10-15 years after installation.
