SCE vs RPU vs IID
In Riverside County, your utility decides the solar math
Riverside County splits between SCE, a municipal utility, and an irrigation district — and they run on different rules. The CPUC's NEM 3.0 governs SCE homes; Riverside Public Utilities and IID each set their own programs.
SCE — most county cities
Corona, Temecula, Murrieta, Moreno Valley, Palm Springs, and most other Riverside County cities are Southern California Edison territory under the CPUC's NEM 3.0 Net Billing Tariff — where pairing solar with a battery to cover the 4–9 PM peak is what makes the math work.
Riverside Public Utilities — City of Riverside
RPU is the city's municipal utility. It isn't regulated by the CPUC, so NEM 3.0 doesn't apply — RPU sets its own net metering program, interconnection process, and export compensation. We design to RPU's actual rules, not SCE assumptions.
IID — eastern Coachella Valley
Communities in the eastern Coachella Valley are served by the Imperial Irrigation District, which runs its own rate schedules and interconnection program outside CPUC jurisdiction. If your address is IID territory, we design and file to IID's program from day one.

Proof you can see
Powering homes across Southern California
Every dot is one real OC Solar project or service call — thousands of them, blanketing Orange County, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, Ventura County, San Diego, and the desert. Hover any dot for the project type, area, and year — chances are we've already powered a home near you.
across SoCal and beyond
Per our company records as of June 2026 — every project and service call we've taken on, excluding cancellations. Each dot is one real record (a couple dozen without a mappable location count toward the total but aren't shown); positions are approximated to the neighborhood to protect customer privacy.
Built for inland heat
Riverside County summers are exactly what solar is for
Inland Riverside County runs hotter than coastal Southern California, and long air-conditioning seasons push summer bills up hard — with the heaviest usage landing in the 4–9 PM peak window, the most expensive hours on SCE time-of-use rates. A right-sized solar and battery system generates through the long, sunny days and covers that evening peak from storage. Permits run through each city's own building department — or the County of Riverside for unincorporated communities — and we prepare, submit, and track every one until your system is switched on.
- Systems sized to real inland cooling loads, not one-size-fits-all averages
- Each city's own building department managed for incorporated cities
- SCE, RPU, or IID interconnection through to PTO
- One in-house team across design, permits, install, and inspection
