Punishing PG&E true-ups. Confusing NEM 3.0 rules. Overpriced quotes and underperforming systems. These are the problems Central Valley homeowners bring me every week — and below is exactly how I solve each one. Zero pressure. Never a dime out of pocket to find out where you stand.
If any of these sound like your situation, you're not stuck. Here's how I turn each one around.
You went solar to escape PG&E — then a $1,200, $1,800, even $2,500 annual "true-up" lands in your mailbox and your installer just says the system is "performing normally."
I pull your actual usage and production data and find the real cause — almost always an undersized array, the wrong rate plan, or panels underperforming. Then I put a fix in place: right-size the system, add storage, or correct the rate plan so the true-up stops. The diagnosis is free and there's nothing to pay to get answers.
California's new net-metering rules (NEM 3.0) pay you far less for the power you send back to PG&E. A lot of homeowners signed up expecting old-style savings that no longer exist.
I explain NEM 3.0 in plain English for your specific home, and show you where the savings actually live now: storing your own power in a battery instead of selling it back cheap. I size and price storage so it genuinely pays off — no guesswork, no sales theater.
A door-to-door rep quoted you $55K–$60K for a system that should cost far less. The pressure was heavy and the math was fuzzy — and you have no way to know if it's fair.
I run your project against my entire installer network and negotiate the real price — same panels, same warranties, same crews — often landing 20–30% below the quote you were handed. If you're mid-deal I can frequently renegotiate it. You see the apples-to-apples comparison before you decide anything.
Production dropped, the app stopped reporting, an inverter failed, or you simply don't know if your panels are pulling their weight — and the original installer is slow, gone, or unhelpful.
I diagnose what's actually wrong — inverter, monitoring, shading, or hardware — and line up the right repair or warranty claim through licensed local crews. Then I make sure the system is producing what it should, so you stop quietly losing money every month.
Under NEM 3.0, and with PG&E outages and rate hikes, a solar-only system leaves real savings (and backup power) on the table. But battery quotes are all over the map.
I size the right battery for your load profile — Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, FranklinWH, or comparable — and negotiate fair pricing so storage actually earns its keep. Many homeowners add storage with no upfront cost. I'll tell you honestly if it doesn't pencil out for you.
You're tired of high-pressure pitches, the "today only" discounts, and salespeople who clearly work for the company, not for you. You just want a straight answer.
That's the whole reason I do this. I'm independent — no quota, no allegiance to any single installer. I bring you a structured $0-down option or ownership at up to 30% off, lay out the numbers line by line, and if it's not right for your home I tell you to walk. Zero pressure, free quote, never a dime out of pocket.
Finding out exactly where you stand should never cost you anything. With me, it doesn't.
Call or fill out the quick form. Describe your bill, your system, or your goal — whatever's on your mind.
I review your numbers, find the real problem, and work my installer network to build the best honest option for your home.
I lay out the math in plain English. If it makes sense, great. If not, I'll tell you to walk. Either way you've paid nothing.
Tell me what's going on with your solar — or your sky-high PG&E bill — and I'll personally call you back within one business day. Free, honest, zero pressure, and never a dime out of pocket.
