Solar terms used on this page
- kW (kilowatt)
- A measure of system size — the maximum instantaneous power output. A 10 kW system produces up to 10 kW at peak sun.
- kWh (kilowatt-hour)
- A measure of energy used or produced over time. Your utility bill is in kWh.
- ITC (Investment Tax Credit)
- The 30% federal solar tax credit, currently in place through 2032. Applies to panels, inverters, batteries (when installed with solar), and structurally required roof work.
- NEM 3.0
- California’s net metering structure since April 2023. Exports credited at roughly $0.05/kWh while peak imports cost $0.40+/kWh — making solar + battery the standard design.
- SGIP
- California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program — battery storage rebate ranging from $150 to $1,000 per kWh depending on tier (General Market, Equity, Equity Resilience).
- PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff)
- Pre-emptive grid shutoff by SDG&E or other utilities during high fire-risk weather. A solar + battery system keeps essential loads running through PSPS events.
