Solar in Los Angeles: common questions
Does solar make sense in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is a city-owned utility that sets its own solar and export rules, separate from the Net Billing Tariff that applies to SCE, PG&E and SDG&E. We model your savings on Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's current program. We size every system from your last 12 months of bills, so the numbers reflect your home, not an average.
Who issues permits for solar in Los Angeles?
Solar and battery permits are issued by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), and the system must be approved by Los Angeles Department of Water and Power before it is switched on. We prepare the plans and handle both.
Can a battery keep my Los Angeles home powered during an outage?
Yes, when it is designed for backup. We size the battery and inverter around the circuits you want running, from essentials to the whole home.
