assessment for Sacramento homeowners
What Sacramento homeowners need to know.
Sacramento sits at a unique intersection — parts of the city are served by SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) and parts by PG&E. Your solar economics depend entirely on which utility serves your address. Continuum installs in both territories and will confirm your utility before any system design.
Sun & production
Sacramento’s Central Valley climate delivers over 260 sunny days per year — among the strongest solar production numbers in the state.
Your utility & rates
PG&E territory in Sacramento County is subject to NEM 3.0, making battery storage essential. SMUD customers benefit from a separate, currently more favorable net metering program.
Local energy landscape
Sacramento homeowners on PG&E face the same ~31¢/kWh average rates — and the same peak-hour spike to $0.45–0.55/kWh that makes battery storage so financially compelling.
NEM 3.0 applies here: As a PG&E and SMUD customer, your new solar installation falls under California’s Net Billing Tariff. Battery storage is the key to maximizing your savings — and Continuum designs every Sacramento system with storage from the ground up.
Local expertise. No shortcuts. No subcontractors.
Continuum isn’t a national company treating Sacramento as a distant market. We’re a Northern California solar company — and Sacramento County is our backyard. Here’s what that means for your installation:
Local advantage 01
PG&E and SMUD expertise
We install in both utility territories and know the interconnection requirements, incentive programs, and rate structures for each. We’ll tell you exactly which utility serves your address and what that means for your solar economics before we design a single thing.
Local advantage 02
Central Valley system design
Sacramento’s hot summers mean your AC runs hard — exactly when grid power is most expensive. We size every system to offset your peak summer loads, not just your annual average.
Local advantage 03
Local crews, fast installation
Every Continuum installation in Sacramento is done by our own trained technicians — never a third-party subcontractor. That means quality control from design through activation, and a team that stands behind their work long after installation day.
Our commitment
In-house crews only
The Continuum difference: We’ve installed thousands of solar systems across Northern California. We know Sacramento County’s permit requirements, PG&E and SMUD’s interconnection process, and the specific energy challenges Sacramento homeowners face. That local knowledge translates directly into faster installations and better-designed systems.
From your first call to full power — our process.
Every Continuum installation in Sacramento follows the same rigorous process. One team, start to finish. No dropped handoffs, no surprises.
We cover all of Sacramento County and beyond.
