What matters in Sacramento
Key takeaways
- Utility territory is the first checkpoint.
- SMUD and PG&E are not interchangeable.
- Hot summers make equipment and soiling assumptions important.
For Sacramento, this guide uses 3 official utility, permitting, or licensing sources plus 2 installer-owned service-area sources; re-check each before contracting.
Sacramento is a strong but utility-split market; SMUD and PG&E programs can produce materially different proposal comparisons.
Climate and property considerations
Sacramento has very hot, dry summers and winter valley fog; include heat, soiling, shade, roof ventilation, and seasonal production in the design.
Interconnection
Confirm SMUD versus PG&E service. SMUD customers follow SMUD's solar and interconnection program; PG&E customers follow PG&E's process, with City permitting required in either case.
Dated official sources
These primary sources are tied to the local claims above. Re-check them before signing because rules and program terms change.
