Solar & Battery Installation in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
Rancho Santa Margarita's foothill, master-planned communities sit in an SCE Public Safety Power Shutoff corridor — a Tesla Powerwall battery is especially valuable here, and we handle both the HOA and City permitting.
What going solar looks like in Rancho Santa Margarita
Rancho Santa Margarita homes are served by Southern California Edison (SCE), and permits run through City of Rancho Santa Margarita. We manage both for you. Under NEM 3.0, the smart play here is solar sized to charge a battery, so you run your home on stored solar during the expensive evening peak instead of buying power at top rates.
