Going Solar in Northern California? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you're a homeowner in Lake County or Mendocino County, or anywhere else in Northern California, you’ve probably noticed your electric bills creeping up—and you're not alone. With sunny skies, rising utility costs, and generous state and federal incentives, there’s never been a better time to go solar in Northern California.

At SolaraGenesis Energy, we specialize in helping local homeowners make the switch to clean, affordable solar power. Here's what you should know before choosing a solar company in Lake or Mendocino County.

Northern California has great climate and weather for solar homes.

1. The Local Climate is Perfect for Solar Panels

With over 250 sunny days per year, Lake County and Mendocino County are ideal locations for solar energy. That sunshine translates directly into more solar production—and bigger savings on your electric bill.

☀️ More sun = more power from your panels.

California energy bills keep rising, now is the time to go solar and start reaping the benefits.

2. PG&E Rates Are on the Rise

If you're a PG&E customer, you've likely seen rate hikes year after year. Solar panels let you take control by generating your own electricity and protecting yourself from unpredictable energy costs.

💸 Many of our customers in Clearlake, Ukiah, and surrounding areas see their bills cut in half—or more.

Federal and local tax credits can help to make solar systems more affordable.

3. Local Incentives and the 30% Federal Tax Credit Can Save You Thousands

Homeowners can take advantage of the federal solar tax credit, which covers 30% of your total installation cost. Depending on where you live, local rebates or energy credits through PG&E’s Net Metering program may also apply.

✅ SolaraGenesis Energy helps you find every incentive you qualify for—we do the paperwork, too.

Charge your electric vehicle at home with solar power.

4. EV Charging at Home Is Easier with Solar

Thinking about (or already own) an electric vehicle? Adding a Level 2 EV charger to your home is a smart way to save time and money. When paired with solar, you can power your car with sunshine and avoid costly peak-time charging rates.
