Solar in Santa Monica: common questions
Does solar make sense in Santa Monica?
Southern California Edison (SCE) customers are on the CPUC Net Billing Tariff, which credits exported solar at low rates. That makes a right-sized system and a battery that shifts solar into the evening the key to strong savings. 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 Santa Monica?
Solar and battery permits are issued by the City of Santa Monica building department, and the system must be approved by Southern California Edison before it is switched on. We prepare the plans and handle both.
Can a battery keep my Santa Monica 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.
