PG&E Bill Reduction Program Enrollment Period — OPEN

Qualifying homeowners in El Dorado, Placer, and Nevada Counties may be eligible for a utility-sponsored solar + battery program designed to lower monthly electricity costs and avoid power outages.

This is a state-approved pilot program with limited enrollment.

Why Residents Are Using This Program...

-Lower PG&E electric bills

-Battery backup included (no outages)

-No loans, no upfront costs

-No credit check

-Renters eligible (w/ homeowner approval)

-Utility billing — no third-party solar bill

-The program is administered through GridGen and overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission. Not through a solar company. 

How It Works...

1. Check roof solar access (results in 24 hours)
2. Secure funding (if your qualifies)
3. Installation of solar/battery
4. Start saving — no power outages

Enrollment availability depends on roof solar access and remaining program capacity.
