No solar payments for your first 6 months
Go solar on the current promotion and your first six months of solar payments are covered — a $300/month payment is roughly $1,800 you keep. Sized to your own numbers and put in writing before you sign.
$0
Nothing out of pocket. Ever.
$0 down, no loan, no lien on your home. The system, the install, the permits, the paperwork — all of it at no upfront cost. You simply buy the power it makes, at a rate below what PG&E charges you today.
Incl.
Battery storage included
Every system we quote comes with battery storage — your solar runs your house after sundown, and the essentials stay on when the grid doesn't. Tesla Powerwall and Enphase options, still $0 out of pocket.
$0
Electrical panel upgrade — covered
Older home with a 125-amp or outdated panel? If your project needs a main panel upgrade, it's included in the deal at no cost to you — an upgrade that runs thousands when you pay an electrician for it yourself.
$1000s
Battery & program rebates
Rebate and incentive funding moves constantly — programs open, close, and reopen, and many are utility- or income-specific. I check every program your address and household actually qualify for, free, as part of the workup, and you only ever hear about the ones that are open right now.
0%
Locked rates & a tax break that's sunsetting
0%-escalator rate options — your price for power stays flat while PG&E keeps climbing. And install before January 1, 2027 to keep California's solar property-tax exclusion for the life of the system.
Six-month promotion applies to your solar payment and is delivered per the current program terms after installation. Panel upgrades are included when required by the system design. Rebate eligibility depends on your utility, household and program funding — every offer and exact amount is confirmed in writing before you sign anything.
Tulare County gets a bonus most of California doesn't.
The federal government classifies Tulare County as an energy community — a designation worth an extra 10% on top of the 30% clean energy credit. It covers every address in the county, not just certain neighborhoods. Almost nobody down here is telling you about it.
40%
The energy community bonus
30% base credit plus a 10% energy community bonus, because Tulare County is on the federal list — IRS Notice 2026-39. The financing partner claims it, and that is exactly why the numbers I bring to your kitchen table look the way they do down here. You can look the county up yourself.
60%
Up to 60% off your Edison bill
Down here it's Edison, not PG&E — and on the rate plan every new solar customer gets moved onto, SCE charges 59¢ a kilowatt-hour on summer afternoons. Solar plus a battery is how you stop paying it. A typical Tulare County home cuts the Edison bill by 50–60% or more.
10:1
Why the battery isn't an upsell
Edison pays you about 5¢ for the power your roof sends back at noon, then sells it to you at 59¢ when you get home and turn the AC on. That's their own published number. Storing your own power instead of exporting it is the entire game now — so every system I quote includes storage.
6 mo
Six months of payments, back to you
Your first six months of solar payments come back to you as a cash rebate. On a $300/month payment that's roughly $1,800 back in your pocket. Sized to your actual numbers and confirmed in writing before you sign anything.
$0
Nothing out of pocket. Always.
$0 down, $0 at signing, no loan and no lien on your home. Panels, battery, install, permits — and a main electrical panel upgrade if your home needs one — all of it with nothing out of your pocket.

One visit. I come to you.
Not a call center, and not a kid with a tablet at your door. I drive out to Visalia, Tulare and Porterville myself, open your actual Edison bill with you, and give you real numbers in one sitting — no second appointment, no manager on speakerphone. If it doesn't make sense for your home, I'll tell you that too.
Why right now, and not next year
Three clocks are running at the same time, and all three are running out.
The homeowner tax credit is already gone. The 30% credit homeowners used to claim on their own taxes ended December 31, 2025. Anyone still promising you a personal 30% write-off in 2026 is reading from an old script. The credit itself still exists — but only through the financing program, which is the route we use.
Tulare's energy community status gets re-checked. The county is on the current federal list, and Treasury refreshes that list on new unemployment data. It qualifies today. It is not guaranteed to qualify forever.
California's solar property-tax exclusion sunsets January 1, 2027. Install before then and the value your system adds to your home stays off your property tax assessment for the life of the system.
Serving Visalia, Tulare, Porterville, Exeter, Lindsay, Farmersville, Woodlake and the surrounding Tulare County communities. Bill-savings figures describe the reduction in your Southern California Edison bill for a typical Tulare County home with solar and battery storage on SCE's TOU-D-PRIME rate; a monthly solar payment applies and is not included in that figure. Actual results depend on your usage, roof, shading and rate plan. The 10% energy community bonus is claimed by the system owner under IRC §48E, not by the homeowner, and is reflected in your pricing. Rate and export figures from SCE's published residential rates and Solar Billing Plan; energy community designation per IRS Notice 2026-39, Appendix 1. Every number is confirmed in writing before you sign anything.

The 30% tax credit is gone — unless you know where it went.
On December 31, 2025, the federal 30% residential solar credit ended for anyone who buys or finances their own system. Most solar companies won't lead with that.
But providers of $0-down power purchase agreements can still claim a separate federal credit on systems they own — and competitive providers pass part of that value through as lower rates. That's why, in 2026, $0-down deals are often the sharpest pricing in solar.
I'll show you exactly how much value is passed through on any deal I place — and I'll tell you when buying still makes more sense.

The Price Beat Promise
Already have a quote? Already signed?
Bring it to me before you're locked in. I'll review the price per watt, the escalator, the fees and the financing — free, line by line, usually same day.
If I can't beat it, I'll tell you it's a good deal — and you'll walk away with a free second opinion either way. That's the whole promise.
California gives you 3 business days to cancel a signed home-solicitation contract — 5 if you're 65+. Time matters.
I'll flag inflated dealer fees, oversized systems and stale savings projections — the three most common quote problems.

Why people call me instead
A second set of eyes, not a second salesman.
I'm an independent solar advisor working the Central Valley. My job isn't to sell you a shiny brochure — it's to run your actual numbers, show you every option side by side, and place your project with licensed installers I'd put on my own roof.
No pushy sales — ever. Call or text me with any question, buy nothing, and I'm still glad you did.
Every fee in writing. Dealer fees, escalators, buyout terms — on the table before you sign, not after.
Financially solid providers only. Several national solar companies went bankrupt in the last 18 months. I only place deals with providers whose funding I've checked.
Direct line, same person. (559) 206-4056 — that's me, from first question to the day your system turns on.

Straight answers
Questions everyone asks.
Is solar really $0 down — what's the catch?
With a power purchase agreement (PPA), a provider installs and owns the system on your roof, and you simply buy the power it produces — usually at a rate below what PG&E charges. No loan, no lien on your home, nothing out of pocket. The tradeoff: you don't own the system unless you buy it out later. Whether that beats buying depends on your bill and your plans — that's exactly what I help you compare, for free.
What happened to the 30% solar tax credit?
It ended December 31, 2025 for homeowners who buy or finance solar themselves. Providers of $0-down PPAs and leases can still claim a separate federal business credit on systems they own — and competitive providers pass part of that value through as lower rates. Ask any company to show you exactly how much they're passing through. I always do.
Why is my PG&E bill so high?
PG&E's average residential rate is about 40.6¢ per kWh in 2026 — roughly triple the national average — and a new $24/month Base Services Charge was added in March 2026. PG&E also has a request pending with state regulators for another increase starting in 2027. Solar replaces much of that usage at a lower, more predictable rate. Run your bill through the analyzer to see your specific picture.
I already signed with another company. Is it too late?
Maybe not — but move fast. California law gives you 3 business days to cancel a home-solicitation contract (5 business days if you're 65 or older). Send me your contract and I'll review it free, same day when possible. If it's a good deal, I'll tell you it's a good deal.
Do you run a credit check for $0-down solar?
PPA approval is credit-friendly — it's a service agreement, not a loan, so there's no new debt on your credit report and no lien on your home. There is a simple qualification step, but you don't need perfect credit, and checking your options costs nothing.
Are your panels made in America?
I can build your project around domestic-made, forced-labor-free panels. Independent researchers have tied a large share of the global panel supply chain to forced labor overseas — and since 2026, domestic content also affects the federal credits that make $0-down pricing work. Better ethics, better economics.
