Solar panels & batteries in Simi Valley, CA
Simi Valley gets hot inland summers and plenty of sun, and homeowners here are on SCE's NEM 3.0. Pairing solar with a battery lets families use their own power during expensive evening hours.
Energy facts for Simi Valley homes on SCE
How solar works on Southern California Edison (SCE)
SCE customers who go solar now are on NEM 3.0, the Net Billing Tariff. Power you use yourself saves the full retail rate of about 35¢ per kWh, but power you export earns only about 4–5¢ on average.
That's why most SCE systems today pair panels with a home battery. The battery stores midday sun for the expensive evening hours and keeps essentials running during outages and Public Safety Power Shutoffs. Homes in high fire-threat areas or with qualifying income may be eligible for SGIP battery rebates.
