Why Palmdale Homeowners Are Going Solar

Palmdale sits in the Antelope Valley at around 2,700 feet elevation in the high desert of Los Angeles County — a region defined by wide-open space, big sky, and relentless sunshine. With 285+ sunny days a year and summer temperatures that regularly push past 105°F, this is one of the best solar climates in all of Southern California.

Like much of the region, Palmdale is served by Southern California Edison. SCE's tiered rate structure means that the more electricity your household uses during those long, hot summers, the more you pay per kilowatt-hour. Solar directly offsets those peak-hour costs. Because of the exceptional sun exposure, Palmdale homeowners often see payback periods of 6–8 years — shorter than most of Southern California.

As always, comparing bids before you sign is the most important step. Installer quotes for the same system can differ by thousands of dollars.
