Residential solar in Riverside County typically runs about $6.00 per installed watt before incentives — roughly $48,000 for a standard 8 kW system. With SCE rates climbing year after year, most homeowners reach payback in about 5–8 years, faster when paired with a battery under NEM 3.0. Solar CCS handles design, permits, HOA approval, and installation as a licensed general contractor (CSLB #983330).
Add home battery backup without replacing your array
Store daytime solar for SCE’s 4–9 p.m. peak window and keep essential circuits or your whole home running through outages — while preserving NEM 2.0 grandfathering on battery-only retrofits.
Why go solar now
The math is getting harder to ignore

Three Ways Solar Changes Your Home
SCE Has Raised Rates 47% in 5 Years. They're Not Stopping.
Every month you wait is another month paying full price. A properly sized SolarCCS system locks in your energy cost at near-zero for 25 years — while your neighbors' bills keep climbing.
The Next Heat Wave Is Coming. Will Your Home Be Ready?
Inland Empire summers push the grid to its limits. Rolling blackouts and PSPS shutoffs happen every year. With a battery, your home stays powered when the neighborhood goes dark — AC on, food safe, family comfortable.
Your Home Is Worth More With Solar. A Lot More.
Studies show solar homes in California sell for 4–6% more and sell faster. In Riverside County, that's $30,000–$50,000 in added equity — tax-free, built into your home the day we flip the switch.

Two Ways to Pay for Solar
The homeowner federal tax credit ended for systems you buy. How you finance now decides whether any federal benefit reaches you at all — here is the honest math on both paths.
Sample 12 kW residential system at $6.00 per watt.
Buy It — Cash or Loan
You own it- System price$72,000
- Federal tax credit$0
- Rebates assumed in price$0
There is no federal credit for homeowners who buy — Section 25D ended for expenditures after December 31, 2025. In exchange, you own the system and keep every kilowatt-hour it makes.
Lease or PPA — Third-Party Owned
$0 upfront- Upfront cost$0
- Who claims the 30% federal creditThe owner
- What you payMonthly
A third-party owner claims the 30% federal credit under Section 48E and passes the value through as a lower monthly rate. You do not own the system and cannot claim the credit yourself. Rate, escalator, and term are set in the agreement.
Sample 12 kW residential system priced at $6.00 per watt; your price depends on equipment, roof, and utility. Homeowners who buy with cash or a loan receive no federal tax credit — Section 25D was eliminated for expenditures after December 31, 2025. On a lease or PPA the third-party owner claims the credit and reflects the value in your payments. Actual results vary. This is not tax, legal, or financial advice. Consult a licensed CPA.
