Baker Home Energy

Getting solar panels in San Diego is a no-brainer. As a local resident considering solar energy for your home, the first question that probably comes to mind is “how much money can I save on utility bills?”

After installing a home photovoltaic (PV) panel system, you will trade an expensive electric bill for a much lower monthly solar payment. Every month, that payment brings you one step closer to owning your home PV system—which qualifies you for the federal solar tax credit. But getting the details right means partnering with a trusted solar energy consultant who can help you reach your renewable energy goals with a system designed to meet your needs—and your budget.

Baker Home Energy, the best solar company in San Diego, has been serving the local community with energy solutions for 84 years. We’re locals—just like you. Our experienced consultants are ready to answer all of your questions and help you determine the solar PV system most suitable for your home.

How Does Solar Work in San Diego?

In San Diego, even after you install a solar PV system, you’ll continue to have a customer relationship with your utility company. Under Net Billing Tariff (NBT), you can send the additional energy you generate with your home solar system back to the utility company and receive minimal credits in return. These energy credits can be used to pay for grid electricity consumed at night when solar panels are not generating electricity. You’ll still need to pay some minimal charges that solar cannot offset, like power line maintenance and low-income household assistance. A zero balance for your electric bill is still possible with a correctly designed solar panel + home battery installation.

With Baker Home Energy, the solar installation process in San Diego involves four easy steps: Consultation & Design; Engineering; Installation; and Operation. As the best solar company in San Diego—with over 24,000 satisfied customers to date—you can rest assured that your home energy system installation is in expert hands.
