Is Fallbrook on NEM 3.0 or NEM 2.0?

Fallbrook is served by San Diego Gas & Electric, so new solar systems fall under SDG&E's Net Billing Tariff (NBT) — the utility's NEM 3.0 program — which credits exported energy at variable rates instead of full retail price. Adding battery storage helps agricultural operations and homeowners use more solar power on-site, which is the main way to protect savings under NBT.

Who handles solar permitting in Fallbrook?

Fallbrook is unincorporated, so solar permits go through San Diego County Planning & Development Services rather than a city building department, and may involve zoning review depending on system type and size. SolarCCS handles the county permit process, inspections, and SDG&E interconnection.

Are there solar rebates or incentives in Fallbrook?

The federal 25D residential solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025, so it cannot be promised to homeowners or growers. DAC-SASH eligibility depends on the census tract, which SolarCCS checks for each property.

Does SolarCCS actually install in Fallbrook?

Yes — SolarCCS serves Fallbrook and the surrounding North San Diego County communities, including agricultural properties, with its own licensed installation crew.

SDG&E territory — Net Billing Tariff (NBT)

Fallbrook is served by San Diego Gas & Electric, so new solar customers fall under the Net Billing Tariff (NBT), SDG&E's NEM 3.0 program, which pays variable avoided-cost rates for exported energy. Battery storage helps growers and homeowners alike get more value from solar by using it on-site.

Avocado Capital of the World

Fallbrook's economy and land use center on avocado groves and agriculture alongside a historic downtown, with the community bordering Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to the west — a mix that includes large agricultural parcels well suited to ground-mount solar.

Equity-program coverage varies by tract

DAC-SASH eligibility in Fallbrook depends on the specific census tract. SolarCCS verifies eligibility per address.

San Diego County permitting, not "City of"

Fallbrook is unincorporated, so solar permits go through San Diego County Planning & Development Services rather than a city department, with zoning review for both on-site and off-site systems. SolarCCS manages the county permit process and SDG&E interconnection.

Rancho Alegre subdivision in Fallbrook seeks time extension for improvements

The Rancho Alegre project includes 33 single-family residential lots on 116.15 acres in the Fallbrook Community Plan. Since the subdivision map was recorded, the project has changed ownership and faced delays due to economic and financing challenges, and the owner has requested an additional two years to construct the public improvements.

“The Rancho Alegre project (Project) includes 33 single-family residential lots on 116.15 acres and in the Fallbrook Community Plan. Since the subdivision map was recorded, the project has changed ownership and faced delays due to economic and financing challenges, which is why these required improvements have not been made. The subdivision owner has requested an additional two years to construct the public improvements.”
— San Diego County Board of Supervisors, sandiegocounty.gov

Why it matters: 33 single-family residential lots on 116 acres in Fallbrook represent a future residential construction pipeline — once infrastructure improvements are completed, these new homes will need solar-ready electrical design and SDG&E interconnection under the Net Billing Tariff.
