Why Santee Homeowners Are Going Solar
East County summers are no joke — Santee regularly runs hotter than the coast, and AC runs hard from late spring through fall. SDG&E's peak rates above 45¢/kWh make those months expensive. Santee's many single-family homes with large, sun-exposed roofs are well-suited to solar, and the strong inland sunlight means systems here produce a lot of power.

NEM 3.0 and Santee Solar
Santee's hot evenings mean AC often runs well past sunset — right into SDG&E's most expensive peak window. Under NEM 3.0, that's exactly where a battery earns its keep: it stores your abundant midday solar and discharges it through the 4-9pm peak, so you're not buying SDG&E power at 45¢. With Santee's strong sun and big roofs, a panel-plus-battery system often produces excellent returns. We'll model it for your home.
