Solar Companies in Anaheim, CA: Installer Counts and License Checks
Anaheim's main electric utility, Anaheim Public Utilities, is not in the state's solar interconnection data, which covers PG&E, SCE and SDG&E customers only. On the SCE-served addresses listed as Anaheim, utility records show 33 home solar systems connected in 2025, led by Sunrun (7) and SWSS Electrical (4). It is a count from public records, not a ranking or endorsement: check each license and get at least three quotes.

Start with your Anaheim electricity bill
Anaheim Public Utilities is a municipal utility with its own solar and net-metering rules. Do not use an SCE or investor-owned-utility NEM 3 assumption. Have each bidder use the account's past twelve months, current Anaheim rate and published excess-energy treatment.
What an Anaheim quote needs to explain
| Check | Ask each bidder |
|---|---|
| Anaheim utility rules | Use Anaheim Public Utilities' current rate and solar program; reject an SCE or generic NEM assumption. |
| Permit and interconnection | Name who submits plans, completes inspection and satisfies Anaheim's utility and building requirements. |
| Same system scope | Compare equal equipment, production, roof, panel, storage and warranty scope before comparing price. |

Use these guides to prepare the specific questions a written bid needs to answer.
A comparison to ask for
Ask every bidder to use the same annual Anaheim usage and the same roof design. Compare monthly production, total price, financing terms, permit/interconnection duties and remaining Anaheim bill. Separate the battery and panel work from the core array.
Verify the company behind the Anaheim quote
Match the business name and license number on each Anaheim proposal to the CSLB record, then use our contractor verification steps, the quote comparison guide and the PPA, loan, lease and cash comparison.
Permit fees and the filing route are on the Anaheim solar cost and permit page.
Anaheim solar quote questions
Is Anaheim on the same NEM 3 program as SCE customers?
No. Anaheim Public Utilities publishes its own wholesale-based NEM 2.0 program and says Anaheim is not moving to NEM 3. Use the municipal utility's current rules for the account.
Should I compare at least three Anaheim solar bids?
Anaheim's own solar guidance recommends obtaining bids from at least three contractors. Give each bidder the same usage and system scope so the totals are comparable.
