John F. Santa Rosa, CA

The thing I love about Solar Harmonics is you deal with Solar Harmonics and Solar Harmonics only from beginning to end and he takes care of you! The few other solar companies I contacted it seemed like I rarely talked with the same person about questions that came up along the way, just not the same experience when compared to the personal service Solar Harmonics affords you! I've had my system now for about a year and until you get solar you won't experience the satisfaction and joy I get when I receive my PG&E bill every month, instead of PG&E giving me the middle finger I give it right back to them with a big smile!

Cynthia Z. Brentwood, CA

I highly recommend working with this company. I had a great experience working with Solar Harmonics. The quote he gave us was lower than other companies for the same amount of panels. The whole process was very smooth and fast . Solar harmonics team members are quick at responding to emails and phone calls. Crew did an amazing and clean job. All in all it was a great experience working with the whole team, especially Solar Harmonics.

Jeremy T. Concord, CA

Solar Harmonics is extremely responsive to questions, and an extremely honest person. He will not upsell you just to make a buck. Both of my PV systems have had no issues, and if they did, I trust Solar Harmonics to take care of everything. If you are still debating what company to go with to install solar on your home, then stop and look no further. Solar Harmonics is the best choice you can make!

Lw R. Hercules, CA

We chose Solar Harmonics on the recommendation of two friends that had the company install their solar power. They were professional prompt and kept us informed of the progress of the project from design to final inspection. Solar Harmonics and Kayla are easy to work with and experienced in the field; made sure we were getting quality up to date products and warranties. We would use them again and recommend them for their value, service and professionalism.

Kosta D. Livermore, CA

Great work by Solar Harmonics and their team! They were willing to make changes that were needed and move on the work. They took the time to explain things to me and did not just do the job and leave me wondering what happens next. Solid team and I get compliments on the look too, which was surprising.

Derrick G. Brentwood, CA

The customer appreciated Solar Harmonics for being patient, a good listener, and providing clear, honest communication throughout the process. The company did not attempt to upsell unnecessary equipment, offering honest advice about solar technology, which built trust with the customer. The customer highly values the Straight Talk Solar podcast for its insights into solar rules and technology and frequently refers others to it.

Lourdes L. Brentwood, CA

Going into Solar Energy is one of our major project this year as we are first time home buyer, making a decision was difficult. My husband and I were very thankful and blessed to have Solar Harmonics team especially their patient sales team. I went through with 3 different companies, but Solar Harmonics is honest, does not pressure their customers, and respond to inquiries/questions promptly, that gave us peace of mind and confidence. We are extremely satisfied with their work and we highly recommend this company.

Ashley H. Pleasanton, CA

Solar Harmonics stood out for listening to the customers' specific needs and goals, making the decision to install solar seamless and stress-free. The company maximized the system's potential to produce electricity, achieving the customer's major goal of generating more than they use. The entire team, from planning with the city and PG&E to the installation, delivered on every promise with patience, understanding, and excellent follow-up.

Aaron F. Pleasanton, CA

Solar Harmonics installed on my house a 25 panel / 8.25 kWp system in December of 2020. I worked directly with Solar Harmonics who developed the proposal, they were great and helped answer all my questions. During the install, the crew was very professional. Now that it is year later, I just got my first true-up bill and the amount was exactly as was predicted. All good!

Sheri D. Brentwood, CA

We had a solar system installed by Solar Harmonics in 2018. Solar Harmonics came out and evaluated our needs & did a wonderful presentation. They are very knowledgeable and knows the trade well. We didn't hesitate to move forward & it's one of the best investments we've made into our home. Our savings are tremendous and we feel at ease not having to worry about high PG & E bills any longer.

Jasmine A. Fairfield, CA

Solar Harmonics stood out for not being pushy, allowing the customer to make their decision at their own pace without pressure. The company only recommended the necessary number of panels for the home, unlike others that suggested more to increase costs. A key selling point was that even though the customer purchased the panels, Solar Harmonics offers to fix any issues for the life of the warranty, unlike most other companies.

Narciso P. Pittsburg, CA

After contacting 3 different companies, I decided to go with Solar Harmonics. Solar Harmonics was great. He answered all the questions I had without the salesman-type pressure. Great communication with prompt responses throughout the process even after the installation was completed. Work was done within and less than a week. I decided to add a fan in the attic for days with cooler mornings and hot afternoons to suck up all the hot air from my 2-story home which is supposed to reduce the temperature inside the house before running the a/c unit. I also asked about installing a transfer switch to connect to a generator instead purchasing a battery for power outages and the company was able to install it which saved me thousands of dollars! Great customer service over all!

Solar Installation FAQ
  1. Lack of Ownership
    - In both solar leases and PPAs, the solar a

    Lack of Ownership

    In Los Angeles, where solar incentives and tax credits can significantly reduce the cost of ownership, leasing a solar system means you miss out on these financial benefits. With a lease or PPA, the solar company owns the system, meaning you won’t qualify for the federal tax credit or state rebates, nor will you gain the increased property value that comes with owning solar panels outright.

    Limited Financial Savings

    Energy rates in Los Angeles are among the highest in California, making solar ownership a more cost-effective option in the long run. While leases and PPAs might offer some savings, the solar provider takes a share of the financial benefits. Homeowners who own their system outright or finance through a loan typically see much higher long-term savings.

    Escalation Clauses

    Many solar leases and PPAs in Los Angeles include annual payment increases of 2-3%, which means your solar payments may rise faster than electricity rates. This can make leasing less attractive over time, especially if local utility rates stabilize or drop.

    Complicated Terms and Contracts

    Lease and PPA agreements are often 20-25 years long and filled with complex terms. If you’re in Los Angeles, where home values are high, it’s important to carefully review contract details, including fees, maintenance responsibilities, and transfer options before committing.

    Impact on Home Sale

    Los Angeles has a highly competitive real estate market, and potential buyers may not want to take over a solar lease or PPA. If the new owner doesn’t qualify for the lease, you might be forced to buy out the contract, which can be an expensive and unexpected financial burden when selling your home.

    Limited Control Over the System

    If you lease your solar system in Los Angeles, you don’t own the panels, meaning you can’t modify, upgrade, or replace components as needed. The leasing company handles maintenance, but response times and service quality can vary, which may not always align with your expectations.

    Potential for Higher Long-Term Costs

    While leases and PPAs offer immediate savings, long-term costs can be higher than ownership when factoring in rising payments and missed incentives. Since Los Angeles residents can qualify for generous tax credits and local rebates, purchasing solar panels often yields the best financial return.

    Unpredictable Electricity Costs

    Los Angeles homeowners with a PPA pay for solar-generated electricity at a fixed rate, but if local utility rates drop, your PPA payments could exceed market rates. This unpredictability can diminish the expected savings and make ownership a better financial decision in the long run.

    Long-Term Commitment

    Solar leases and PPAs require 20+ year contracts, making it challenging to exit early without costly buyout fees. If your circumstances change or you plan to sell your home, owning your solar system gives you more flexibility and control.

    Conclusion

    For many Los Angeles homeowners, buying a solar system outright or financing through a loan provides greater savings, financial incentives, and home value appreciation than leasing or using a PPA. Before signing any agreement, it’s crucial to evaluate the long-term implications and consider ownership as the most beneficial option for energy independence and financial savings in Los Angeles.

    owns the system, not the homeowner or business. This means you don’t get the benefits of solar incentives, such as tax credits, rebates, or the increase in property value that comes with owning solar panels.

  2. Limited Financial Savings
    - The savings from solar leases and PPAs are generally lower than those from owning a system outright or financing through a loan. While you may see some reduction in your utility bills, the solar company takes a portion of the financial benefits, which limits your long-term savings potential.
  3. Escalation Clauses
    - Many solar leases and PPAs include escalation clauses, which cause your payments to increase by a certain percentage each year, often around 2-3%. This means your energy costs might not be as stable as expected, especially if the rate of increase outpaces any energy savings you gain.
  4. Complicated Terms and Contracts
    - Lease and PPA contracts can be complex and difficult to understand, with lengthy terms that typically span 20-25 years. Homeowners need to read the fine print carefully to understand the obligations, potential fees, and any performance guarantees.
  5. Impact on Home Sale
    - If you decide to sell your home, transferring a solar lease or PPA to a new buyer can be challenging. Not all buyers are comfortable with taking over such contracts, and if they do not qualify for the lease, you may be forced to buy out the contract, which can be costly.
  6. Limited Control Over the System
    - Since you don’t own the system, you have limited control over its maintenance, upgrades, or modifications. The leasing company handles maintenance, but their response times and service quality can vary, which might not meet your expectations.
  7. Potential for Higher Long-Term Costs
    - Although solar leases and PPAs may provide immediate savings, the long-term costs can be higher compared to owning a solar system, especially when factoring in escalating payments and missed opportunities for additional savings through ownership.
  8. No Federal Tax Credit or Incentives
    - Solar leases and PPAs do not allow you to take advantage of federal tax credits, state rebates, or other financial incentives. Instead, these benefits go to the solar provider, not the homeowner or business.
  9. Unpredictable Electricity Costs
    - With a PPA, the rate you pay for the electricity generated by your solar system is often set at a fixed price or increases annually. If electricity prices from your utility drop, your PPA rate might end up being higher than market rates, which diminishes potential savings.
  10. Long-Term Commitment
    - Solar leases and PPAs require long-term commitments, often lasting 20 years or more. Exiting the agreement early can be difficult and expensive, typically requiring a significant buyout fee.

These downsides make it essential for homeowners and businesses to carefully evaluate the terms and long-term implications of solar leases and PPAs before signing a contract. For many, purchasing a solar system outright or financing through a loan may provide better financial and ownership benefits in the long run.

With the introduction of Net Energy Metering 3.0 (NEM 3.0) in California, solar customers face new challenges in maximizing the financial benefits of their solar systems, especially when it comes to reducing their true-up bills. Here are some effective strategies to minimize your solar true-up bill under NEM 3.0:

  1. Optimize Solar System Sizing and Orientation
    - Ensure your solar system is appropriately sized to meet your energy needs, considering both current usage and future growth. Properly orienting and angling your panels to maximize sunlight capture during peak demand times can increase efficiency and reduce reliance on the grid during costly peak hours.
  2. Add Battery Storage
    - One of the most effective ways to minimize your true-up bill is by adding battery storage to your solar setup. Batteries allow you to store excess energy produced during the day and use it during peak hours when grid energy is more expensive, thus reducing your dependence on grid electricity and enhancing your energy independence.
  3. Shift Energy Usage to Off-Peak Hours
    - Time-of-Use (TOU) rates under NEM 3.0 make it more expensive to use electricity during peak demand hours. Shifting activities like running appliances, charging electric vehicles, or heating water to off-peak hours can significantly lower your true-up bill.
  4. Enroll in Demand Response Programs
    - Participating in demand response programs allows you to receive incentives for reducing your electricity usage during peak demand times. This not only saves you money but also helps reduce your overall energy consumption during the most expensive periods.
  5. Monitor and Optimize Energy Use with Smart Technology
    - Invest in smart home devices, such as energy-efficient thermostats, smart plugs, and energy monitoring systems. These devices can help you track your energy consumption patterns, automate energy-saving behaviors, and make real-time adjustments to minimize costs.
  6. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Appliances
    - Upgrading old, energy-hungry appliances to newer, energy-efficient models can lower overall electricity consumption, making your solar production more effective in covering your energy needs and reducing the amount of grid power required, particularly during peak pricing periods.
  7. Maximize Self-Consumption of Solar Power
    - To minimize costs, aim to use as much of your solar-generated power as possible rather than exporting it to the grid, where NEM 3.0 compensation rates are lower. Scheduling high-energy tasks like laundry, dishwashing, and pool pumping during daylight hours can maximize your self-consumption.
  8. ### 8. **Regular Maintenance of Solar Panels and Battery Systems**
    - Ensure that your solar panels are clean and free of debris, and your battery system is functioning optimally. Regular maintenance can prevent performance degradation, helping you generate and store as much energy as possible.
  9. Consider Adding More Panels or Upgrading Existing Ones
    - If your true-up bills remain high, consider expanding your solar array or upgrading to more efficient panels. This could help you generate additional power, particularly during high-usage months, to further offset your energy costs.
  10. Negotiate a Better TOU Rate Plan
    - Check with your utility provider to see if you’re on the best available Time-of-Use plan. Different plans have varying peak and off-peak hours, and some may better align with your energy consumption patterns, helping you save more money.

By implementing these strategies, you can effectively manage and reduce your true-up bill under NEM 3.0. Each household's approach may vary depending on their specific energy consumption patterns, solar system configuration, and available budget for upgrades or adjustments, so a personalized evaluation is always recommended.

The solar non-export program is a setup where a solar energy system is designed to generate electricity only for on-site use, without sending any excess power back to the grid. This approach is often used in areas with specific regulations or incentives that make exporting solar power less attractive or even prohibited.

Key Features of the Solar Non-Export Program:

  1. Self-Consumption Focus: The main goal of a non-export system is to maximize the use of solar energy within your property. This means you generate electricity from your solar panels during the day and use it directly to power your home or business, thereby reducing your reliance on grid electricity.
  2. No Grid Export: Unlike traditional solar systems, which allow excess power to be sent back to the grid in exchange for credits, a non-export system uses smart inverters and other control technologies to prevent any excess electricity from leaving your property.
  3. Battery Storage Integration: To make the most of a non-export system, battery storage is often used to store any unused solar energy for later use, such as during the night or during periods of high demand. This enhances energy independence and minimizes the need to pull energy from the grid.
  4. Avoids Net Metering Issues: In areas with less favorable net metering rates (like California’s NEM 3.0), non-export systems can be advantageous because you avoid the complexities of selling power back to the grid at reduced rates, which can sometimes be less economical.
  5. Compliance with Utility Rules: Some utility companies have restrictions on exporting solar energy due to grid stability concerns, or they charge additional fees. A non-export system complies with these restrictions and avoids any potential penalties or extra costs associated with grid export.

Benefits of the Solar Non-Export Program:

  1. Cost Savings: By using more of the solar energy you generate, you save on electricity bills without depending on utility buy-back rates, which are often less favorable under new regulations.
  2. Energy Independence: Storing solar energy on-site reduces your dependency on the grid, particularly during peak pricing hours or power outages.
  3. Simpler Setup: Non-export systems are often simpler in terms of paperwork and utility approvals, as they don’t involve complex agreements with the utility company for selling excess power.

Overall, the solar non-export program is a great option for those looking to maximize their solar energy usage on-site, avoid regulatory complications, and gain more control over their energy costs.

  • Fair pricing that prioritizes value over cheap installations.

  • Ongoing customer support to ensure system efficiency for years to come.

For Los Angeles residents looking for a reliable, experienced, and customer-focused solar provider, Solar Harmonics is the trusted choice.

We pro-actively monitor our clients' solar panel systems (assuming the connection to the internet is present) and we can usually see issues well before our clients. In those cases we (not you) work with the equipment manufacturers to get the replacement equipment in hand and installed as quickly as possible. We handle working with the manufacturers and keep you posted of any updates along the way.

Keep in mind that loans on solar power systems are considered a personal loan, and no lien on the property is recorded, just a lien on the solar equipment. Interest rates are typically higher than mortgages and most solar financing companies will offer a low interest rate and add a 20 - 30% loan fee onto the project. The loan for a $30,000 solar project may look great at a $0 down, 3%, 25 year loan but when the 30% loan fee is added, the homeowner is actually borrowing $39,000 at 3% for 25 years...

So, we recommend going with a bank or credit union loan that typically has zero fees associated but a higher interest rate. In addition, these loans typically have a zero prepayment penalty so the faster the loan is paid the better. Just because the loan is paid off does not mean the solar panels stop producing...

Los Angeles, or L.A., is the second-most populous city in the U.S. and the cultural and economic hub of Southern California. Known as The Entertainment Capital of the World, it is home to Hollywood, the film and television industry, and a thriving creative scene.

Spanning 469 square miles, L.A. features diverse landscapes, from the Pacific coastline at Venice Beach to the rolling hills of Griffith Park, where the Griffith Observatory offers iconic city views. The city's skyline, historic Olvera Street, and vibrant neighborhoods reflect its rich cultural heritage and diversity.

L.A. has a booming economy, with industries in entertainment, technology, fashion, trade, and aerospace. Its Port of Los Angeles is one of the busiest in the world, and the city is set to host the 2028 Summer Olympics, marking its third time as an Olympic host.

With its sunny climate, legendary landmarks, and global influence, Los Angeles remains a dynamic, ever-evolving metropolis that continues to shape culture, business, and innovation on an international scale.

Cityscape of Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a vast, sprawling city made up of diverse districts and neighborhoods, each with its own unique character and history. Many of these areas were once independent cities that later merged into L.A., creating a patchwork of well-defined communities, each marked with official city signage.

Urban Layout and Traffic

L.A.’s street network follows a grid system, but the city’s varied terrain has resulted in different grids across its valleys and hills. Major streets like Sepulveda Boulevard (43 miles) and Foothill Boulevard (60+ miles) span vast distances, connecting neighborhoods across the region. However, Los Angeles traffic is notorious, with rush hour congestion reaching 80%, adding an average of 92 extra hours per year for commuters.

Skylines and Architecture

Unlike New York City, Los Angeles is known for its low-rise urban sprawl, with skyscrapers primarily concentrated in key business districts like Downtown LA, Century City, and Koreatown. The Wilshire Grand Center is the tallest building, towering at 1,100 feet, among several structures exceeding 50 stories.

Notable Neighborhoods

Los Angeles is home to a mix of historic, cultural, and beachfront neighborhoods, including:

  • Boyle Heights – A vibrant, historic Latino community.
  • Little Tokyo – A hub for Japanese-American culture.
  • Venice – Known for its bohemian boardwalk and canals.
  • Silver Lake – A trendy area popular with artists and creatives.
  • Financial District – The commercial heart of Downtown LA.
  • Pacific Palisades – A coastal enclave with stunning ocean views.

From the skyscrapers of Downtown LA to the beachfront homes of Venice, Los Angeles' cityscape reflects its cultural diversity, economic power, and sprawling geography.
