Climate and property considerations
Bay Area marine-layer mornings and neighborhood tree shade make an address-specific shade and production study essential.
Interconnection
Serving utility is address-dependent. Confirm whether SVP or PG&E is on the electric bill and use that utility's current distributed-generation application and tariff.
Dated official sources
These primary sources are tied to the local claims above. Re-check them before signing because rules and program terms change.
