Solar panels & batteries in Reseda, CA
Reseda's flat streets and single-story homes make for sunny, unshaded roofs, and West Valley summers keep air conditioners running for months. That's a strong setup for solar on LADWP.
Energy facts for Reseda homes on LADWP
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 Reseda roofs
Most homes are compact mid-century houses. Simple roofs keep installs efficient, though some older roofs may need attention before panels go on.

Reseda solar questions
Should I replace my roof before going solar in Reseda?
If your roof has less than about 10 years left, it's usually cheaper to do it first. We'll tell you honestly what we see.
How long does solar take in Reseda?
Usually 6–12 weeks from signing to turning it on. Most of that is LADBS permitting and LADWP approval, which your installer files and we track.
Is LADWP on NEM 3.0?
No. NEM 3.0 applies to PG&E, SCE and SDG&E. LADWP is a city utility with its own net metering program that credits exported solar near the retail rate.
Do I need a battery with solar on LADWP?
Not for savings. Under LADWP net metering, a battery mainly adds backup power during outages.
