Southern California Edison Customers – This is How to Lower Your Electric Bills

After a total of three rate increases in 2021, many Southern California Edison (SCE) customers are getting fed up. Most residential SCE customers are set to pay around 9% higher rates. This is mostly because of the usual reasons, higher priced electricity due to infrastructure maintenance, increased temperatures, wildfires, blackouts, and so on.  Only days ago, 2,460 SCE customers in Laguna Beach lost their power, and many more were evacuated. It’s incidences like this which are becoming the new normal and are accounting for the unprecedented rising electricity rates.  Purportedly, the rising costs are supposed to account for upgrades such as: Energy storage Distribution and transmission upgrades Replacement of electric poles Reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires Another category designated by SCE as “grid modernization” There are also additional costs that SCE needs to account for: costs that they aren’t keen on advertising. Specifically, SCE is an investor-owned utility (IOU), which means that they need to turn a profit for shareholders. This leaves many SCE customers questioning whether they are indeed paying for grid updates, or are paying more for shareholder ROI.  How to Lower Your Bills Naturally, as a solar energy provider - the first thing we recommend is solar power for Southern California Edison customers. Whether you’re in Laguna Beach, to Riverside, to Coachella Valley - solar is a great decision. But there actually are many amazing financial reasons behind this! Let’s delve into the biggest ones: -Solar Installation: Most California homeowners in the SCE territory have more than enough potential to produce power for their energy needs and then some! Whether you are purchasing with cash or with financing - you’re almost certainly going to reduce your electricity bills.  -Net Metering: This can build up credit to offset your electric bill. It’s a nice way to take advantage of the energy that your solar panels generate. Keep in mind that if your system now, you’ll lock in these benefits for 20 years. -Home Battery: If you’ve got solar panels, a home battery, and net metering - you’re in energy consumer paradise. Why? Your battery can store any extra energy that your solar system produces during the day, so your home can consume energy at night. Ideally, this means that you won’t need to pay SCE to draw electricity at peak times. Plus, it’s great to have a backup battery that will also keep your house going during blackouts. -Federal Tax Credit: There is a 26% Federal Tax Credit that is there for the taking. It decreases at the end of 2022 and also is available for those who purchase with financing and cash. As an example, if you purchase a $25,000 solar system you’re looking at a $6,500 discount on your taxes.  -Electric Vehicles: Okay, while we can appreciate that EVs can be out of reach for many people due to price and other factors. But - if you are purchasing a vehicle with cash or finance - EVs can be a great choice when you combine them with a battery and solar system. Who knows - maybe you can use your savings with the Federal Tax Credit to help purchase an EV. Then, you can live your life powered by the sun.  How to Take Action Here is what you need to do.
