Why San Diego County Homeowners Are Going Solar Now
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) rates have kept climbing even as the county sits on some of the best solar resources in the state. A few numbers explain why solar makes sense here:
- San Diego County averages 266 sunny days a year, well above the national average of 205. 1bestplaces.net, San Diego County, CA climate data
- The county receives about 5.7 peak sun hours of usable sunlight daily, plenty for a residential solar system to offset most of a household’s usage. 2turbinegenerator.org, San Diego solar peak sun hours
- SDG&E electricity rates run about 34% higher than the national average, which shortens the payback period on a solar investment. 3electricitylocal.com, San Diego, CA electricity rates
- California’s NEM 3.0 net billing tariff also changed how homeowners are credited for the power their system sends back to the grid, which is why most new San Diego County systems now pair solar panels with a battery: it lets a home use more of its own solar power directly instead of exporting it at a lower credit rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to install solar panels in San Diego County?
Yes. Solar installations require a building permit and SDG&E interconnection approval. Current Home Solar handles the permitting and utility paperwork for you as part of every installation.
How does NEM 3.0 affect my solar savings in San Diego?
NEM 3.0 lowered the credit homeowners receive for excess power sent back to the grid compared to the older NEM 2.0 program. Most new systems now include battery storage so you use more of your own solar power directly instead of exporting it at the lower rate.
What solar incentives are available in San Diego County?
The federal solar Investment Tax Credit currently covers 30% of system cost. California also offers a property tax exclusion, so adding solar does not raise your property’s assessed value under current state law.
Will solar panels increase my property taxes in California?
No. California excludes qualifying solar energy systems from property tax reassessment under current law, so your added home value from solar is not taxed the way other home improvements are.
How long does solar installation take in San Diego County?
Timelines vary by home and permitting jurisdiction. After your in-home consultation, our team handles design, permitting, and SDG&E interconnection, then schedules installation and a final inspection before your system is activated.
Should I get multiple quotes before choosing a solar installer?
It’s reasonable to compare a few quotes and verify any installer’s CA license, local experience, and familiarity with SDG&E’s interconnection process and NEM 3.0 rules before you sign anything. Current Home Solar has installed systems for California homeowners for 19+ years and can walk you through our license and process on request.
Does Current Home Solar also handle roofing?
Yes. A solar system is generally expected to last 25 to 30 years, so it needs a roof that will last as long as the panels. Many San Diego County customers need roof work before installation, and Current Home Solar offers roofing services so your roof is ready to support solar panels for the long term.
Is my roof a good fit for solar in San Diego County?
Most roof types can support solar, but orientation, shading, and roof condition affect system size and output. Our free roof assessment looks at your specific home before we design a system, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all layout.
