The Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) program offers income-qualified homeowners and renters the opportunity to receive energy-saving home improvements, such as a heat pump water heater replacement, or energy-efficient appliances, such as a new refrigerator, clothes washer, or dishwasher replacement, and more. If you qualify, we will cover the cost, including installation by an authorized contractor.
You may qualify for either CARE or FERA based on the size of your household and the total current income of all persons living in your house, condo, apartment, or mobile home.

What's eating your energy? Is it the A/C? That extra fridge in the garage? The clothes dryer?
Evaporative Cooler
Don’t run an air conditioner and an evaporative cooler at the same time! You’ll make your air conditioner work twice as hard to get rid of the humidity produced by the cooler. Also, clean and replace filters frequently to get the most cooling for your money. Rebate
Refrigerator
Check and clean the coils regularly, especially during the summer. Also, make sure your refrigerator and freezer doors seal airtight. One way to check this is to close a dollar bill or piece of paper in the door. If it pulls out easily, your refrigerator may need a door hinge adjustment or a new gasket. Learn More >

- We will review your application to confirm it has all the correct information and required documents.
- If your application has all the correct information and required documents, your project will be eligible for the Solar Billing Plan.
If we find an issue with your application, such as incorrect information or missing documents, we will send a deficiency notification email to you and/or your contractor with instructions for correcting your application.
a. After your application is corrected, we may require additional documents. For example, if you have an energy storage project with an A/C disconnect, we may ask you to provide a Plot Plan document before we can issue your Permission to Operate.
- Once your project receives final approval, we will issue your Permission to Operate, which will authorize you to operate your solar generating system.
- Within a few billing cycles, we will enroll your account in the Solar Billing Plan and set it up for SBP billing.
Although processing times may vary based on application volume, simple and standard (solar-only) interconnection requests that have all the correct information and required documents, may receive Permission to Operate within 10 business days. Complex interconnection requests, i.e., paired storage or non-standard metering, will need more time to process as they require additional technical and engineering review.
We strongly recommend that you or your contractor submit the application, Single Line Diagram, signed Interconnection Agreement, final electrical permit approval issued by the local building department, and any other applicable documentation all at once to expedite the review of your interconnection request. This allows ample time for us to evaluate program eligibility, conduct a technical review of the proposed system and initiate a meter change, if necessary. If a meter change is required, we will arrange the installation with our local planning department before PTO is issued.
When status updates are available for your application, our Online Interconnection Application System will send you and/or your contractor an email, including details. If you would like even more information about your application status, please reach out to your contractor or installer for assistance. They have direct access to your application, and they are responsible for completing any additional requirements.
If you are self-installing your system, please visit the Online Interconnection Application System for updates on your application status.
The Solar Billing Plan is a new program for customers who install an eligible renewable generating system, such as solar or wind, after April 14, 2023. The Solar Billing Plan succeeds the Net Energy Metering (NEM 2.0) program.
The Solar Billing Plan (SBP) works by billing customers not just based on the energy you consume, but also the credits you earn for surplus solar energy you produce. The price of electricity you consume varies, depending on your rate plan. The value of the Energy Export Credits (EECs) you earn varies hourly.
When your monthly bill arrives, your total will be your energy charges after your available EECs have been applied. SBP doesn’t track your total solar production – only the surplus solar you’ve exported back to SCE. SBP works on an annual cycle, called your “Relevant Period.” During each Relevant Period, any EECs left over after your monthly bill is totaled will automatically rollover into the next month. As the end of your Relevant Period, you receive a settlement statement (more on this below) to “settle” your final balance for the next Relevant Period.
When you install solar, an electric panel upgrade is sometimes required by your local building and safety department, to ensure your electrical panel is up-to-code and can support an added electrical load.
This is common in older homes and may be necessary depending on the specifics of your system, structure of your home, and changing electricity needs.
