Why El Cajon Homeowners Are Going Solar
El Cajon is deep in SDG&E territory, where residential electricity rates are among the highest in the nation. With rates hovering around 45¢/kWh and climbing, El Cajon families regularly see bills of $250-$500+ per month, especially during hot summer months when AC usage spikes.
A solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) lets you lock in a rate 40-60% below SDG&E — with zero money down, no loan, and no maintenance responsibility.
How It Works in El Cajon
- We install solar on your roof — free. No upfront cost. You don't buy or finance the equipment.
- You pay only for the power you use. A locked-in rate per kWh, typically $0.18-$0.22/kWh — far below SDG&E.
- You save money every month. Your PPA rate stays low while SDG&E keeps raising theirs. The gap grows every year.
