What Makes the Solar Math Work in California
Bakersfield gets more usable sun than almost anywhere in the country, and California's electricity rates are among the highest in the U.S. That combination is exactly why solar plus a right-sized battery keeps penciling for Kern County homeowners — even under NEM 3.0.

Bakersfield averages well over 270 days of sun annually — among the highest production environments for residential solar in the U.S.
