Save On Taxes With Solar

This year, homeowners have the perfect opportunity to save on taxes with solar panels. The key is to obtain a solar power installation now before the federal solar power tax incentives disappear.

2020 California Solar Mandate for New Homes

You may know that solar energy is popular in California but what you probably didn’t know is that by 2020 all new homes must have solar panels installed. Title 24, the State’s energy-efficient building standard was updated in March of 2018 to require solar install in newly built homes. It has been called the 2020 California Solar Mandate.

If you are new to solar, you may be asking if the 2020 California Solar Mandate is going to be a good thing and if this will increase home buyer cost?

Currently, most residential SCE customers are on a tiered rate plan that determines the rate customers are charged per kilowatt-hour based on the total amount of energy consumed each month.

However, the TOU rate system is based on when energy is used, not how much. All three of California’s major investor-owned utilities—SCE, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)—have been directed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to transition their customers into this new plan by the end of 2020.
