Stop renting your electricity.
California rates have risen 40% in five years. Our solar and battery systems lock in your energy cost, protect you from outages, and start saving you money from month one.
Produce your own power instead of overpaying for it.
EV adoption and grid strain are pushing California rates higher every year. Solar locks in your cost today — and keeps saving you money for the next 25 years.
Cut your bill 40–70%
Most California homeowners save thousands per year. With net metering and battery storage, your system pays for itself — then keeps paying you back for 25+ years.
Protection from rate hikes
PG&E rates have risen 40% in the last five years. Solar locks in your energy cost at today's rate — shielding your household from annual increases that show no sign of slowing.
Power through outages
Wildfires, PSPS shutoffs, and grid failures are a reality of California living. Battery storage keeps your lights on, refrigerator running, and family comfortable when the grid goes dark.
Consider resale
A 2019 Zillow analysis found homes with solar sold for about 4.1% more on average nationally. Actual effects vary by market and by whether the system is owned, leased or financed — owned systems are generally the simplest to transfer at sale.

Every system is designed around your home's roof geometry, usage patterns, and goals. Panels generate during the day; batteries store the excess for nighttime use, peak-rate hours, or grid outages.
Every system is designed specifically for the property — equipment selected from trusted manufacturers, layout optimized for your roof, and installed by a team that's delivered 200+ projects across California.
- Custom panel layout optimized for your roof and shading
- Whole-home battery backup — not just a few circuits
- Equipment backed by manufacturer product and performance warranties (terms vary by product)
- Flexible financing from $0 down through partners like Propel
Drive on your own electricity.
If you own an EV, pairing Level 2 home charging with solar can offset part of your charging cost — how much depends on when you charge and your rate plan.
Our integrated systems share a single energy platform, so your car charges when panels are producing or when rates are lowest.
- Level 2 charging (240V) — full charge overnight
- Smart scheduling synced with solar production and TOU rates
- Works with Tesla, Ford, Rivian, BMW, and all major EVs
- Garage, carport, and outdoor installation options
Every home is different. Let's design the right system for yours.
Schedule a Free Evaluation →For properties that need more than a solar company.
Multi-structure estates, compounds, and luxury homes need expertise that consumer installers can't deliver. This is where our commercial background becomes your advantage.
We design residential microgrids that unify solar, storage, backup generation, EV charging, and load controls across every building on your property — coordinated with your architect, GC, and property manager.
- Main house, guest house, ADU, pool house — all on one system
- Multi-day battery backup with automatic islanding
- EV charging across garages, motor courts, and guest areas
- Dedicated project lead for white-glove coordination
Symmetric Energy installed a 21kW ground-mount system with 40kWh battery storage. I'm really happy with the result and the process. Leila, Tristan, and everyone else at Symmetric Energy were wonderful to work with. They were friendly, walked us through everything, and explained all our options—without any of the sales-pressure tactics you sometimes get from others. They also handled absolutely everything with PG&E. …
One team handles the whole project.
Site assessment, system design, permitting, installation, utility interconnection, monitoring — we manage it all. Your schedule depends on permit review, utility interconnection and equipment lead times; we give you a project-specific timeline after design. You get a dedicated project lead who keeps you informed at every step.
- Evaluate & design: site evaluation and a system designed around your usage and backup goals
- Engineer & permit: engineering, building permit and utility interconnection application
- Install: on-site installation, usually a few days for a typical home
- Inspect & activate: city inspection, then the utility’s Permission to Operate
Estimate system size and budget
A planning-level starting point. Savings depend on your rate plan and when you use power, so we estimate them from your utility data during an evaluation.
Financing (loan or cash) is assessed separately during your evaluation; this tool shows installed cost only.
Preliminary size & budget
The IRS says the §25D credit is not allowed for expenditures made after December 31, 2025, and a system counts as an expenditure when its installation is completed — so homeowner-owned systems completed in 2026 or later receive no §25D credit. State and utility programs are checked in your evaluation.
Tax credits, depreciation and incentives depend on your specific tax situation and eligibility. This estimate is not tax, legal or financial advice. Please consult a qualified tax professional.
Not estimated here: bill savings and payback. Under California’s net billing tariff they depend on your rate plan, when you use power, and export credit values — we estimate them from your interval data.
Assumptions behind this estimate (model prelim-sizing-2026-10-10)
- Size targets the annual usage implied by monthly bill × 12 ÷ cost per kWh, at 1,500 kWh per kW-DC per year. Fixed charges on your bill make this an overestimate.
- Budget midpoint: $3.50/W-DC for solar plus $12,000 for one home battery if selected, shown as a ±20% planning range. Excludes main-panel, service or structural upgrades, permits beyond standard scope, and incentives.
- Backup coverage (critical loads vs. whole home) changes battery count and cost and is sized in your evaluation.
Everything you need to know
A typical California home system (8–12 kW) costs $24,000–$42,000 before any available incentives. We offer $0-down financing through partners like Propel that lets most homeowners go solar for less than their current electric bill. Ask us about current incentive programs during your evaluation.
Timelines depend mainly on permit review and utility interconnection; we give you a project-specific schedule after design. The actual roof work typically takes 1–2 days. The majority of the timeline is permitting and utility interconnection — we handle all of it.
Battery storage is strongly recommended in California. It provides backup power during outages and PSPS events, lets you use stored solar energy during expensive peak-rate hours, and maximizes your savings under NEM 3.0. We design systems with and without storage based on your priorities.
Solar increases your home's resale value — studies show an average of 4.1% according to Zillow. If you own the system outright, the value transfers with the home. If financed, the loan can typically be transferred or paid off at closing.
Solar panels require very little maintenance — occasional rain handles most cleaning. We include system monitoring that alerts us if anything needs attention. Panels are warranted for 25 years, inverters for 12–25 years, and batteries for 10–15 years.
We bring commercial-grade experience to every residential project. Our team has delivered 200+ projects across California. Every system is designed around the specific property — and we take on projects most residential installers can't: multi-structure estates, battery microgrids, and full EV integration.
