Solar power in Rocklin, California

PG&E offer their solar customers in Rocklin a net metering program. Each kWh of solar generation not used by the home is exported to the grid at the retail value for power. Usually more power is exported than drawn from the grid giving you credit you can apply to future bills within the same 12 month billing cycle. If credit remains at the end of the 12 months PG&E will pay you. With the new NEM-2 rules new solar customers must switch to time of use billing hurting the returns by about 10% luckily, this isn't very much and declining equipment prices and great solar production in California more than make up for this.

You may also claim 30% of the total system cost as a tax deduction under the federal solar tax credit. This incentive can be spread over several tax periods and always covers 30% no matter the system size. With incentives like these you have to be mad not to go solar.

Even if you are not convinced about solar we recommend that at the very least you use the solar panel calculator to find out:

• How many solar panels you need to cover your power bill;
• How suitable your house is for solar;
• What incentives your house may be eligible for;
• The cost of solar panel installation in Rocklin and whether you are eligible for zero down solar deals; and
• Your likely payback period and return on investment from installing solar
