Why Solar Makes Sense in West Sacramento
The math in West Sacramento is simple. PG&E has some of the highest rates in the state, summers here are hot, and homes across the city, from the older streets of Broderick and Bryte to the newer riverfront communities in the Bridge District and Southport, run their AC hard.
Every month you stay on PG&E alone is a month of paying full price for power you could be generating yourself. Solar puts that money back in your pocket.
West Sacramento Is on PG&E and NEM 3.0
West Sacramento is served by PG&E, so your solar falls under California's NEM 3.0 net billing rules. Under NEM 3.0, the power you export to the grid earns much less than it once did, so the savings come from using your own solar and offsetting PG&E's high rates, not from selling back to the grid. With PG&E's prices, offsetting your own use is worth more than ever.
The move that makes NEM 3.0 pay off is adding a battery, storing your daytime solar to use in the expensive evening hours instead of buying from PG&E at peak. Worth knowing: West Sacramento has talked about joining a community energy program to bring bills down, but that is years away at best. Going solar now is the step that lowers your PG&E bill today. We design your system around NEM 3.0 and handle the PG&E interconnection. See our NEM 3.0 guide and Finance and Incentives page for the full picture.

FAQs
Which utility serves West Sacramento?

For many homes, yes. High PG&E rates and hot summers make a strong case. We will model your exact numbers before you decide.
