VGA website concept for Westhaven PowerForms and final program terms require production approval
Conceptual Northern California home with rooftop solar panels

Solar + battery

Design for the home you actually run.

Usage, backup priorities and the property come first. Equipment follows the goal.

Concept visual created for this preview.

A better proposal starts before equipment selection.

The system should follow the home, the energy pattern and the outcome the homeowner wants.

Read the load.

Review bills, usage patterns and expected additions such as an EV or heat pump before sizing the system.

Read the property.

Inspect the roof, shade, service panel and equipment-location constraints.

Name the goal.

Separate bill reduction, outage backup and resilience priorities.

Show the math.

Document production, rate, degradation, financing and tax assumptions.

Solar detail is a concept visual.

Compare the whole decision.

Price matters. It is not the only line that determines whether a system fits.

Production

System size and expected annual output

Compare assumptions, degradation and the basis for the production estimate.

Battery

Capacity, operating mode and backup coverage

Know what the battery is expected to power and how it will operate day to day.

Utility

Import and export assumptions

Use the current tariff and explain how energy timing affects the recommendation.

Ownership

Price, financing, warranties and service

Separate cash and financed cost, dealer fees, included work, exclusions and long-term ownership.

Use today's California inputs.

Export value and import cost are not the same.

The Solar Billing Plan changes how exported energy can be valued, which makes usage timing and battery operation important inputs.

Final modeling should use the customer's utility, current tariff and current tax guidance. Tax outcomes require a qualified adviser.
