Why Roseville Is a Smart Place for Solar
Roseville is one of the fastest-growing and most sought-after parts of the region, with newer, larger homes in communities like West Roseville, Fiddyment Farm, and Sun City. Those big roofs and long, hot Placer County summers are a strong combination for solar: the harder your AC works from June through September, the more a well-designed system offsets.
Roseville Runs Its Own Utility, and It Changes Your Solar Design
Here is what most solar companies miss about Roseville. Your power does not come from PG&E or SMUD. It comes from Roseville Electric, the city's own community-owned utility, which sets its own solar rules. New solar customers in Roseville are enrolled in the city's Roseville Solar 2.0 program, which credits the energy you export to the grid at a low flat rate, well below what you pay for power.
What that means for you: the biggest savings come from using your own solar during the day and pairing it with a battery to cover the evening, rather than sending power back for a small credit. We design your Roseville system around Solar 2.0 and handle the interconnection with Roseville Electric directly. See our Battery Storage page for why storage pairs so well with Roseville's rate

FAQs
Who provides electricity in Roseville, and does it use NEM 3.0?
Roseville is served by Roseville Electric, the city's own utility, so it is not on NEM 3.0. New solar customers are placed on the Roseville Solar 2.0 program instead, which has its own buyback rate for exported power.
How much do solar panels cost in Roseville?
It depends on your home's size, your energy use, and whether you add a battery. We design a system around your actual Roseville Electric usage and give you a clear, itemized quote for free.
Should I add a battery in Roseville?
For most new systems, it is worth strongly considering. Because Roseville Solar 2.0 credits exported power at a low rate, storing your own energy to use in the evening captures far more value than exporting it.
Are there any solar incentives in Roseville?
Roseville Electric does not currently offer a solar rebate, so savings come from offsetting your usage and pairing with a battery. Roseville Electric does offer a rebate toward a home EV charger, which we can help you claim if you are adding one.
Do I need a permit to install solar in Roseville?
Yes, and we handle it. We pull the City of Roseville permit and manage the Roseville Electric interconnection for you.
