Every Coronado 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 Coronado, CA?+
Yes. Coronado is part of our regular Coastal & Beaches service map, and our crews work there out of our El Cajon office at 270 E Douglas Ave.
Is solar worth it for Coronado homes?+
Very mild island climate with consistent, moderate solar production. That usage pattern is exactly what solar offsets best, so most Coronado homes with SDG&E bills above roughly $150 a month see a strong return.
What kind of roofs do you work with in Coronado?+
Historic and custom homes with tile, flat, and complex multi-plane roofs. We inspect roof condition, framing, and your main electrical panel before finalizing any Coronado design.
How long does a Coronado solar project take?+
Most Coronado 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 Coronado permits and SDG&E interconnection?+
Yes. We pull the local permits for Coronado, coordinate inspections, and file the SDG&E interconnection paperwork from start to finish.
Do you add batteries in Coronado?+
We do, and under NEM 3.0 most Coronado homeowners get more value from a battery than from extra panels alone. Every design is battery ready even if you add storage later.
