SDG&E charges roughly $0.47/kWh, nearly triple the national average. Under NEM 3.0, pairing solar with a battery is what protects your savings. Here's where the money is in 2026.
30%
Federal solar tax credit (ITC) on eligible systems, thousands back at tax time.
$2.50–$3.50
Typical installed cost per watt in San Diego. A 6–8 kW home system runs ~$15k–$28k before incentives.
SGIP
California's battery storage rebate can offset much of a Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery.
6–10 yr
Typical payback for solar + battery in San Diego, then decades of near-free power.

The clearest way to go solar in San Diego
Three very different experiences hide behind the same word "solar." Here is how a local, own-your-system installer stacks up against a national brand and a door-to-door lease.
| What matters | San Diego Solar Surfers | National installer | Door-to-door lease / PPA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | Local San Diego crew, on your roof since 2013 | Regional subcontractors routed through a call center | Commissioned salesperson; install crew varies |
| You own the system | Yes, you own it and keep every incentive | Usually purchase or loan | No, the company keeps the panels and the tax credit |
| Pricing | Transparent line-item quote, no pressure | National pricing, add-ons at signing | Escalator clauses that raise your rate over time |
| Warranty and service | 25-year equipment warranty, local team answers | Manufacturer warranty, service tickets queued | Tied to a lease contract, not to your home |
| Financing options | $0-down financing, cash, and 30% federal ITC | In-house loan partner | Lease or PPA only, incentives go to them |
| Timeline and control | We handle design, permits, and SDG&E interconnection | Multi-step handoffs between departments | Fast signature, slower follow-through |
