A new solar option has arrived in Placer County

And it’s making solar and battery backup available to almost everyone.

The GridGen Program, now available for Placer County residents, is a utility-backed, state-approved solar and battery program designed to help homeowners and renters get the benefits of solar with no credit check, no cost upfront, and no third-party billing.

Everything runs directly through your existing utility provider and appears as a simple line item on your normal monthly bill.

"We’ve lived in Roseville for many years, and lately everything has just gotten more expensive. Our power bill was through the roof, and solar always seemed like the smart move — but after some tough financial years, my credit is shot. Every solar company turned us down because of it.

Then we found this new GridGen program that goes through the utility, so my credit didn’t matter. We got installed and our bill  dropped because of it. 

As a bonus, we don’t have to deal with power outages anymore. With the way things are getting lately in the world, the backup makes us feel a lot safer."
— Jason R., Roseville Resident
