SDG&E rates and NEM 3.0 in Alpine
Every Alpine home connected to SDG&E is now on NEM 3.0 net billing, which pays far less for exported power than the old program did. That changes the math: the goal is to use more of what you produce, usually with a smart battery and the right rate plan. See our NEM 3.0 explainer for the details.

Frequently asked questions
Real answers for El Cajon homeowners exploring residential solar.
Do you install solar in Alpine, CA?+
Yes. Alpine is part of our regular East County service map, and our crews work there out of our El Cajon office at 270 E Douglas Ave.
Is solar worth it for Alpine homes?+
Higher elevation with cold mornings, hot summer afternoons, and excellent solar resource. That usage pattern is exactly what solar offsets best, so most Alpine homes with SDG&E bills above roughly $150 a month see a strong return.
What kind of roofs do you work with in Alpine?+
Custom homes on acreage with metal, tile, and shingle roofs plus room for ground mounts. We inspect roof condition, framing, and your main electrical panel before finalizing any Alpine design.
How long does a Alpine solar project take?+
Most Alpine projects run 6 to 10 weeks from signed agreement to SDG&E approval and activation. The on-roof work itself is usually one to two days.
Do you handle Alpine permits and SDG&E interconnection?+
Yes. We pull the local permits for Alpine, coordinate inspections, and file the SDG&E interconnection paperwork from start to finish.
Do you add batteries in Alpine?+
We do, and under NEM 3.0 most Alpine homeowners get more value from a battery than from extra panels alone. Every design is battery ready even if you add storage later.
