Why National City Homeowners Are Going Solar
SDG&E's rates hit working families hardest, and National City homeowners are increasingly turning to solar to lock in lower, predictable power costs. PPAs are a strong fit here because they require no upfront payment and typically have more flexible credit requirements than a solar loan — so qualifying is realistic for many homeowners. Consultations are available in English and Spanish.

NEM 3.0 and National City Solar
Under NEM 3.0, the value is in using your own solar rather than exporting it cheaply. For National City homeowners, that means right-sizing the system to your real usage and, where it pencils out, adding storage to cover evening peak rates. A $0-down PPA folds the equipment — battery included — into one fixed monthly rate, so there's no big purchase to finance. We'll walk you through the numbers, in your preferred language.
