Why Yucaipa Homeowners Are Going Solar

Yucaipa sits in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains at around 2,600 feet elevation — higher than most of the Inland Empire, and noticeably more comfortable in summer. But "more comfortable" still means warm, sunny days and an SCE bill that adds up fast from June through September.

Yucaipa is served by Southern California Edison, and SCE's tiered rate structure means that the more electricity your household uses, the higher your per-kilowatt-hour rate. With over 275 sunny days a year, Yucaipa rooftops are well-positioned to offset a significant chunk of that bill. Most homeowners here see payback periods of 7–9 years, followed by years of near-free electricity.

As with any major home investment, the most important thing you can do is compare bids before you commit. Installer quotes for the same system can vary by thousands of dollars — and getting that comparison right is exactly what we do.
