Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in Vallejo
How long does a solar installation take in Vallejo?
Most Vallejo installations take 2-3 months from start to finish, from system design, permitting, installation, inspection and interconnection. We'll schedule your installation around your calendar, and our team works to minimize disruption to your home. After installation, we handle all paperwork with PG&E, no hassle for you.
What's the typical timeline from consultation to installed system in Vallejo?
- Free consultation with home rediness survey: 60 mins
- Financing and Approval - 1-2 Days
- Detailed Inspection: 1-2 weeks
- Design and Permit - 2-3 Weeks (Planning Department)
- Installation: 1-3 days at your home
- Final Inspection: 2 weeks (Planning Department)
- PG&E interconnection: 2-4 weeks (utility approval)
- Total time: 10-12 weeks from first conversation to power generation
Will solar panels affect my Vallejo home value?
Yes, positively. Studies show homes with solar systems sell for approximately 4% more than comparable homes without solar. In Vallejo's current market, that's an extra $15,000-$25,000 in home value. Plus, if you're on a Monthly PPA, the new homeowner simply takes over your discounted electricity rate.
Does Vallejo have any local incentives or rebates for solar?
Yes. Vallejo homeowners may qualify for:
- Local utility rebates (varies by neighborhood)
- Property tax exemptions for solar installations (California law)
- Potential city grants or rebates (check with Vallejo's city website)
Our team will identify any local incentives you qualify for during your consultation.
Will I still get an electric bill with solar?
Yes, you'll still receive a PG&E bill, but it will be much lower as a majority of your electricity will be provided by your rooftop solar. If your system produces more electricity than you use, you may receive credits (varies based on PG&E's net metering policy).
What if my roof needs repairs before installation?
We'll identify any needed roof repairs during our site assessment. For major roof work, we recommend completing repairs first, we're happy to work with your contractor to coordinate timing.
What happens during PG&E outages?
Your solar system will be offline during PG&E outages for safety reasons (to protect utility workers). If you want power during outages, you'd need to add a battery backup system to your setup (available as an add-on). This also works best to maximize savings with PG&E's NEM billing rate.
How long does a PPA contract last?
Standard Monthly PPAs are 25 years. After 25 years, you have the option to extend, have the system removed, or purchase the system from us at a below-market price.
