The Incentive Stack
Going solar costs less
than you think.
Between California battery rebates, the state property-tax exclusion, and $0-down financing, most homeowners start saving without writing a check.
No added property tax
California's solar property-tax exclusion means your system adds home value without raising your property-tax bill.
Lower electric bill
Most EL-FI customers cut their monthly electric bill by 30–50%. Solar paired with a battery lets you avoid peak-rate charges and stay protected from rising utility prices.
Nothing down to start
Own your system with $0 down. For most homeowners the monthly payment lands below today's utility bill, savings from day one.
Incentive eligibility varies. EL-FI Homes confirms exactly what you qualify for during your free design. Not tax advice.
The California Problem
California power keeps getting more expensive.
California already has some of the highest electricity rates in the country, and they climb almost every year. Renting power from the utility means paying more, forever. Owning it locks your cost in.

Rates only go one direction
Utilities file for increases nearly every year. Your bill compounds with them, with nothing to show for it.
NEM 3.0 changed the math
Export credits were cut roughly 75%. Solar alone is no longer enough — the win now comes from solar paired with a battery.
PSPS outages keep coming
Public Safety Power Shutoffs can cut your power for hours or days. A battery keeps your home running when the grid doesn't.
NEM 3.0, made simple.
Drag the handle to compare a California home renting power from the utility vs. owning it with EL-FI solar and a battery.
Every month is a payment with nothing to show for it, and the rate climbs almost every year under NEM 3.0.
Drag the handle left or right to compare. Figures are illustrative.

FAQ
Common questions
Yes — especially with battery storage. Solar + Powerwall under NEM 3.0 lets you export at peak evening rates and draw stored energy during the day, delivering strong ROI with 6–9 year payback for most EL-FI customers.
We partner with top-tier solar lenders. Your system is installed with no money down, and your monthly loan payment is typically lower than your current utility bill from day one.
Grid-tied solar alone will not power your home during outages. Adding a Tesla Powerwall 3 keeps essentials — or your whole home — running through PSPS events and utility blackouts.
Most EL-FI installations complete within 30 days of signing: design, permits, install, inspection, and utility interconnection all handled by our team.
