A briefing for homeowners who thought they missed it

You heard solar died in 2025.
You heard wrong.

One thing ended last December. The path to owning solar on your Northern California home did not. See if you qualify for the prepaid ownership program.

Two minutes. No credit check to check eligibility.

A Northern California home with a rooftop solar system
A real roof, a real system, and a homeowner who owns it. Not a rental.
The correction

The federal residential tax credit ended December 31, 2025. That credit is the only thing that went away. The sun did not. Your PG&E bill did not. And the way smart homeowners now go solar is not to rent power forever from a lease or a PPA. It is to pay once, up front, and own the system outright.

That is the program below. Read the three columns and decide for yourself.
