How solar works on Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP)
LADWP is a city-owned utility and is not on NEM 3.0. It still uses net metering, so solar you send to the grid during the day is credited close to the retail rate. That keeps the math simple: size the system to your yearly usage and most of your energy charges go away.
Because exports are still valuable on LADWP, a battery is optional. Families add one mainly for backup power during outages, not for savings.
What we look for on Mission Hills roofs
Valley summers run hot, so air conditioning drives most of the electric bill. Single-story ranch homes with composition shingle roofs are common, which keeps installs simple. We check roof age, south and west roof planes, and whether the electrical panel can handle solar.

Mission Hills solar questions
Is solar still worth it in Mission Hills with LADWP?
For most homes, yes. LADWP is not on NEM 3.0 and still credits the extra solar you send to the grid close to the retail rate, so a system sized to your yearly usage can wipe out most of your energy charges.
Do I need a battery with solar in Mission Hills?
Not for savings. Because LADWP net metering credits exports near retail, panels alone usually pay back fastest. Families add a battery mainly for backup power during outages.
