Why it matters

California's energy
landscape is unlike
anywhere else

National calculators use national averages, but California homeowners face a completely different set of economics. Our electricity rates are among the highest in the country, our rebate programs are among the most generous, and our climate makes certain upgrades far more effective here than elsewhere. Generic tools get it wrong. These don't.

3x
Higher electricity rates than the national average
PG&E and SDG&E customers pay some of the highest rates in the US, making every kWh your upgrades save worth more.
$4K
SMUD heat pump rebate available in 2026
California utilities offer some of the country's most generous rebate programs. Knowing what's available and what's expired matters.
5.8
Average daily peak sun hours statewide
California's solar resource is exceptional. Combined with high utility rates, solar paybacks here are among the fastest in the country.
NEM 3
California-specific net metering policy
NEM 3.0 changed the solar economics for PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E customers in 2023. Our solar calculator accounts for this correctly.
