- Site assessment — roof orientation, shading, structural capacity, existing service panel capacity
- System sizing based on load history and future-load planning (EV, heat pump, induction, battery backup)
- Panel selection, inverter architecture (string or microinverter), battery sizing in kWh
- Structural mounting design integrated with the roof plan
- Main service panel upgrade where the existing panel can't accommodate the future load
- Title 24 energy modeling for new-construction integration
- NEM 3.0 interconnection application and utility coordination (LADWP or SCE, depending on jurisdiction)
- Permitting through LADBS or the applicable AHJ
- Battery installation — indoor or outdoor, code-compliant setback, fire code compliance
- Commissioning, monitoring setup, and system warranty registration with the manufacturer
- New-construction and whole-home-remodel clients doing envelope-plus-energy under one contract
- Existing homeowners doing a solar retrofit as part of a re-roof
- Owners planning full electrification (EV charging, heat pump, induction) who need the panel and battery sized right
- Clients considering off-grid resilience during PSPS or extended outage scenarios
The NEM 3.0 reality.
NEM 3.0 changed the economics of residential solar in California.
Export rates dropped materially.
Which means the value of self-consumption and battery storage went up.
If you're sizing a system now the way you would've sized one in 2022, you're leaving money on the table. Or worse — the system doesn't pencil at all under the new tariff and you don't know it until the utility bill arrives.
We size systems for the tariff you're actually going to be on, not the tariff that made sense five years ago. That means the battery is often the load-bearing decision, not the array.
We'll tell you what actually pencils on your usage — including the version where solar-only is the right call, and including the version where the whole thing doesn't pencil. You call us either way.
Retrofit solar-and-battery scope typically runs 4 to 8 weeks from permit issuance to commissioning, depending on panel upgrade requirements and utility interconnection queue. New-construction integrated design folds into the build schedule and doesn't add discrete time when it's planned in from day one.
