You can renegotiate a mortgage. Shop your insurance. Cancel subscriptions. Your utility bill just keeps climbing.
Not a forecast. These are the actual residential rates PG&E has charged since 2021. The trend isn't reversing.
$260+ more per month
That’s what a typical home using 1,200 kWh a month pays now versus five years ago — for the same electricity.
Source: Average residential rates for PG&E customers. 2026 figure reflects rates effective through Q1. The 86% increase is from 2021 baseline to 2026 current.
That's money paid to the utility. Not equity. Not ownership. Not investment.
8%: Mid-range estimate
You can't negotiate your electric bill. But you can replace it with a better one.
No big purchase, no loan. Solar panels go on your roof, but you don’t buy them — an energy company owns them, and you simply buy the power they produce at a lower rate. Like switching to a cheaper utility, except the power plant is on your roof.
You're not buying solar panels. You're changing your energy payment strategy.
We're independent, so we work for you — not the panel company or the installer. And because our business runs on referrals, the only way we grow is by taking care of the homeowners we already have. Your win is how we win. If solar doesn't make sense for your home, we'll tell you that too.
Every home uses electricity differently. We look at a full year of your bills, walk through your usage patterns, and design something that fits your house. Not a generic estimate.
Built using industry-standard solar design software.
We're not tied to one installer or financing structure. That independence lets us recommend what makes the most sense for your home.
If the numbers don't work, we'll say so, even if it means walking away from the project.
The best equipment on the market still depends on who puts it on your roof. After working with many installers across Northern California, we partner with one: Continuum (formerly North Valley Power).
After years working alongside many installers in NorCal, Continuum is the only one we trust on a customer's roof.
Permitting offices, utility paperwork, local building departments. They have the relationships that keep projects moving.
Every Continuum installer is in-house. Same training, same accountability, every roof.
Built to outlast the 25-year deal.
Most solar companies install whatever brand they get the best deal on. Continuum uses Tier 1 equipment only. Manufacturers stable enough to honor a 25-year warranty, with track records long enough to prove it.
Tier-1 manufacturers only. No equipment we wouldn't put on our own homes.
A battery isn’t an upgrade or an add-on. Under the current California rules, it’s what makes the math work and what keeps your home running when the grid doesn’t.
PG&E charges higher rates in the evening, right when your family uses the most. Your battery stores cheaper daytime power and runs your home through that expensive evening window.
Time-of-use rates explainedCalifornia changed its rules in 2023: the utility now pays you far less for the extra power your panels send back to the grid. A battery lets you store that power and use it yourself instead — which is where the savings come from now.
NEM 3.0, explainedPG&E has shut off power to NorCal homes 30+ times since 2019. Battery backup runs essentials automatically — no generator, no fuel, no switching.
Battery backup, explainedNo separate purchase. No upfront cost. Tier-1 manufacturers only — Tesla Powerwall, Franklin, and Enphase.
A lower rate. A predictable yearly increase. Nothing out of pocket, ever. Locked in for 25 years. That’s the offer — calculated from your actual 12 months of utility usage, not industry averages.

Honest answers to what homeowners actually ask. The full set is on the FAQ page.
There's no catch. The energy company owns the equipment, so they pay for it. They make their money back over time through your monthly power payment, which is still less than what you'd be paying your utility.
The agreement transfers with the home. For many buyers, a low locked-in power rate is a selling point. The energy company handles the transfer paperwork.
Yes, free for you. We're paid by the install partner when a project closes. Same as a mortgage broker. Our incentive is to send well-fitted projects, because installers value those and pay for them.
Every system we recommend gets installed by the Continuum crew below. Here's what the homeowners they served have to say.
"I've been a homeowner for 22 years and this was the most professional crew I have ever had on my property. They showed up at 7:30am sharp, introduced themselves by name, and had 24 panels on my roof by 2pm. Not a single screw on my driveway when they left."
"The crew was meticulous. They cleaned up better than they found things. My wife is the toughest critic in the world and even she said 'these guys are pros.'"
"Two days, start to finish. Permit cleared, panels up, inverter wired, system on. They worked through 95° heat without a complaint and never cut a corner."
"The foreman walked me through every part of the install before they started — exactly where each panel would sit, how the conduit would run, where they'd drill. Everyone on the crew knew their job."
"I asked them to shift two panels six inches over so they'd line up better with my dormer. They did it without blinking. The roof looks intentional now, not random."
"The county inspector said it was the cleanest install he'd seen all year. Tight conduit runs, labeled disconnects, every screw torqued. That's the kind of work I wanted on my house."
"After almost two decades helping families refinance their homes, I kept watching the same thing happen: they'd save $400 a month on their mortgage, and PG&E would erase it within a few years. The Sun Broker is what I wish existed for those clients."
