For any new solar system to function, PG&E has to upgrade the meter attached to your residence. This process is handled by your solar contractor and, once completed, will ensure your new system functions properly.

To provide an accurate comparison, we'll need 12-24 months of your PG&E statements, your property's average energy usage, and whether or not you plan to finance or own your solar PV system.

Microinverters are essentially individual inverters attached to the underside of each solar panel. These microinverters convert DC energy produced by the solar arrays to usable AC energy that feed the home or the grid.

Yes. Your solar cost projections should also include your 12-month settlement bill (true-up bill) that settles all credits and charges from PG&E. Any charges occur when your energy usage exceeds your panel's output.

No. The first reason is for the safety of PG&E crews. Solar PV systems are shut off during an outage to prevent workers from encountering live electrical currents that could result in electrocution. The second reason is instability caused by the differing amount of energy collected by your panels could damage your home's electrical system. If your panels stayed on during an outage, this would result in damage to your appliances and possibly your electrical panels, as there would be no way to stabilize the solar energy produced.
