Why Orange County Residents Choose Solar Now
- •SCE rates are climbing: Orange County Edison customers have seen cumulative rate increases of 15-20% over the past three years, with more approved through 2028.
- •New fixed charges: SCE added a $24.15/month fixed charge to all residential bills. Solar doesn't reduce this, but it protects you from future usage-based rate hikes.
- •Excellent sun exposure: Orange County averages 5.5+ peak sun hours daily, making solar highly productive year-round.
- •No money down: Qualify for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and pay a fixed monthly rate instead of SCE's unpredictable bills. Many households save 30-50%.
