Why It's Not Too Good To Be True
Most homeowners' first reaction is "What's the catch?" That's fair — it sounds too good. The honest answer: there's no catch. There's a business model that's powered hundreds of thousands of California homes for over a decade.
You save
You pay less for the same electricity, locked in for 20+ years. No upfront cost, no surprise utility hikes, no maintenance worries.
The PPA company earns long-term
The PPA provider legally owns the system, which makes them eligible for the federal solar tax credit (30% ITC) and equipment depreciation — neither of which most homeowners can fully use. Combined with 20+ years of monthly payments, that adds up to a fair return on their investment.
The grid wins too
Solar reduces strain on the grid and adds clean energy to the mix. That's why utilities, governments, and major lenders all back these programs.
It's not magic. It's a financing model — same idea as a mortgage or a leased vehicle, just for the energy on your roof.
Three Simple Steps
3 simple steps to lower energy bills
We Design Your System
A solar consultant visits your home, reviews your energy usage, and designs a custom system to maximize your savings.
We Coordinate the Install
We manage permitting, inspections, and professional installation through our licensed installation partner. You get one point of contact start to finish.
You Pay Less for Power
Starting day one, you pay us a fixed rate for the electricity your system produces — lower than your utility bill.
Three Roles. One Team. No Runaround.
A solar PPA brings together three specialists, but you only ever talk to one of us. Here's who does what — and why we keep it tight.
Latham — Your Advisor
We're your single point of contact from the first quote through years after install. We design your system, walk you through pricing, handle the paperwork, and stay with you. One phone, one email, one team.
North Valley Power — Your Installer
We don't subcontract installs to whoever's available that week. North Valley Power is our exclusive installation partner — the same vetted, certified crew on every Latham project. Top-tier workmanship, full accountability.
GoodLeap, EnFin, or Sunrun — Your PPA Provider
The PPA provider funds and owns the system, monitors and maintains it, and backs the equipment warranty. GoodLeap powers solar for top-tier contractors nationwide. EnFin offers a Levelized PPA — a fixed, predictable monthly payment — and is backed by Qcells, the #1 US solar manufacturer. Sunrun is the largest dedicated residential solar provider in the country, with millions of installations behind it. We pick whichever delivers the best terms for your home.
Three roles, one experience. You hire Latham — we bring the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PPAs
Own Your Solar System
Yes, we offer ownership. The pre-paid lease option lets you keep the 30% federal tax credit upfront and own the system outright — a fit for customers who have the capital available and want long-term control. Most homeowners we work with end up choosing a PPA because it requires no money out of pocket and starts saving immediately — but if ownership is the right fit for your situation, we'll help you do it right.

Schedule a Free ConsultationSMUD Battery Incentives
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) customers can stack a $10,000 cash battery incentive plus up to $880/year ($110/quarter per battery, two-battery max) from the SMUD MEOP demand-response program on top of the 30% federal tax credit. It's one of the strongest residential battery programs in California — and it's specific to the SMUD service area.
Built for SMUD-area homeowners ready to add battery storage
How the SMUD Incentive Stacks
Three benefits that combine to make battery storage dramatically more affordable for SMUD customers
$10,000 Cash from SMUD
When you install two Tesla Powerwalls and enroll in SMUD's demand response program, SMUD pays a one-time $10,000 incentive directly toward the cost of your battery system.
$800/Year from SMUD
Annual payment to participate in SMUD's demand response program. SMUD uses small amounts of stored power from your batteries during grid peaks — you're paid for the participation.
30% Federal Tax Credit
The federal solar investment tax credit applies on top — covering 30% of the eligible system cost after the SMUD incentive. We'll model the exact math for your home.
Why This Program Is Worth Your Attention
SMUD's incentive is one of the most generous residential battery programs in California — but you have to be in their service area
Reduces battery cost by thousands
Two Tesla Powerwalls typically run $20,000–$24,000 installed. The $10,000 incentive cuts that nearly in half before the federal tax credit is even applied.
Pays you ongoing
$800 per year of demand response payments is essentially a recurring rebate for owning batteries that were already going to sit there most of the time anyway.
Backup power when the grid goes down
Beyond the incentive, batteries keep your home running during PSPS shutoffs and grid outages. SMUD area summer outages and wildfires make this practical, not theoretical.
Pairs with solar or stands alone
Already have solar? Batteries can still qualify. Adding solar at the same time? Even better — the combined system often pencils out to net savings within the first decade.
How SMUD Stacks Up
A few CA utilities offer battery incentives — SMUD's is generally the strongest for residential customers
SMUD
$10,000 cash + $800/yr
Best-in-class residential battery incentive. Sacramento area only.
PG&E, SCE, SDG&E
SGIP rebates available
California's Self-Generation Incentive Program offers tiered battery rebates — generally smaller than SMUD's program but still meaningful for qualifying households.
Other CA utilities
Federal tax credit applies
30% federal tax credit applies statewide. We'll check what else stacks in your specific service area.
