We shop the top solar programs so you don't have to — then hand you the side‑by‑side and let you pick.
Trade a rate you don't control for a payment you agreed to in writing.
Multiple programs, multiple lenders, one plain‑English comparison.
If solar isn't right for your roof or your bill, we'll tell you that too.
Your utility rate isn't fixed — it resets on a schedule you don't vote on. Move the sliders to see what that compounds to, and what a solar payment would look like next to it.
Illustration only — not a quote or a guarantee. Figures are simple projections from the inputs you chose, not a site‑specific design. Actual savings depend on your roof, shading, usage profile, system size, the program you select, and your utility's rates and tariff, which change over time. Your real numbers come from a signed proposal after we review a copy of your bill.
Most homeowners are only ever shown one of these — whichever one their salesperson gets paid on. You should see both, side by side, with the trade‑offs said out loud.
The system goes on your roof, someone else owns it, and you simply buy the power it makes — usually at a lower rate than the utility charges today.
You buy the system — cash or financed. You carry the equipment, and you keep whatever incentives you personally qualify for.
Solar incentives in California run on calendars, not on when you feel ready. Systems have to be finished and turned on — not just sold — before the clock runs out, and permitting and utility approval take months.
Counting down to January 1, 2027
California's active solar energy property tax exclusion for owned systems is currently scheduled to sunset.
Under current federal law, systems generally need to be placed in service by this date to fall under the §48E clean electricity credit window.
Solar Brokers Worldwide is not a tax advisor or a law firm and nothing here is tax or legal advice. Incentive rules change and eligibility depends on your specific situation — confirm current requirements with a qualified CPA or tax professional before making a decision.
You'll know what happens next at every stage. If a step is going to take three weeks, we'll tell you it takes three weeks.
A recent statement and a few questions about your home. That's everything we need to start.
We shop the programs we have access to and lay them out side by side — payment, term, escalator, ownership, the works.
Site survey, engineering, permits and utility paperwork handled by our licensed install partner.
Install, inspection, and permission to operate from your utility. Then you start producing.
Nothing against installers — but a company that offers a single program will find a way to make that program fit you. A broker's job is different.
Nothing. The comparison and the consultation are free to you. We're compensated by the program you select if you move forward, which is disclosed before you sign anything.
No. We broker the deal and manage the process; the installation is performed by licensed contractor partners who carry the license, the crews, and the workmanship warranty. You'll know exactly who is putting hands on your roof before you commit.
Under California's current net billing tariff, exported power is credited at a much lower value than it was under earlier net metering rules. In practice that means system design and battery storage matter more than they used to, and a system sized the old way can badly miss. It's a bigger reason to compare designs, not a reason to skip solar.
Usually not entirely. Most homeowners stay connected to the grid and continue to pay minimum charges and any usage the system doesn't cover. Anyone promising a zero‑dollar bill is telling you what you want to hear.
It depends which route you took. Owned systems are typically paid off or assumed at closing. Third‑party‑owned agreements generally transfer to the buyer subject to a credit check, or are bought out. We'll walk through the transfer terms in writing before you choose.
We're based in Whittier and work throughout Southern California, with most of our activity in Southern California Edison territory. Send your address and we'll confirm coverage the same day.
No appointment marathon, no four‑hour kitchen table presentation. Send us what you're paying now and we'll come back with what your options actually look like.
