Why Arden-Arcade Is a Strong Fit for Solar
Arden-Arcade is central Sacramento County's established heart, running from comfortable mid-century neighborhoods to prestigious enclaves like Sierra Oaks and Arden Park. Across that whole range, homes face the same hot summers and rising bills, and most have the roof space and sun to make solar worthwhile. The difference here is that the system also has to look right.
Arden-Arcade Is on SMUD, and That Sets the Ground Rules
Homes in Arden-Arcade get their power from SMUD, not PG&E, so your solar follows SMUD's own program instead of NEM 3.0. Under SMUD's Solar and Storage Rate, the energy you push back to the grid is credited at a low flat rate, far below the retail price you pay, so the payoff comes from using your own solar and storing the rest in a battery for the evening.
SMUD has its own battery incentives too, apart from the state programs PG&E customers use. We design to SMUD's rate and take care of the interconnection. See our NEM 3.0 guide and Finance and Incentives page for more.

Solar That Looks as Good as It Saves
Arden-Arcade runs from mid-century neighborhoods to some of the region's most distinctive homes, and for many owners here, how a system looks matters as much as what it saves. We design with that in mind.
That means all-black, low-profile panels that sit clean and flush on the roof, layouts planned for curb appeal rather than just squeezing on the most panels, and proper workmanship on tile, slate, and complex architectural rooflines that cheaper crews tend to botch. You get the savings without a system that stands out for the wrong reasons.
