What Chico homeowners need to know.
Chico and Butte County are served by PG&E. Following the 2018 Camp Fire, the region has a particularly strong understanding of both wildfire risk and grid resilience — making solar + battery storage one of the most meaningful investments a Butte County homeowner can make.
Sun & production
Butte County is home to some of the strongest SGIP Equity Resiliency rebate eligibility in Northern California. Homeowners who experienced the Camp Fire or subsequent PSPS events may qualify for battery rebates covering up to 100% of installation costs.
Your utility & rates
Chico’s location in the northern Sacramento Valley delivers nearly 6 peak sun hours per day — excellent solar production that drives fast payback and strong long-term savings against rising PG&E rates.
Local energy landscape
PG&E has implemented some of the most extensive PSPS events in Butte County due to the region’s fire risk. For Chico-area homeowners, battery backup is both a financial tool and a genuine safety measure.
Fire zone alert: Chico is designated a High Fire Threat District by PG&E. This makes local homeowners among the strongest candidates for SGIP Equity Resiliency rebates — potentially covering 100% of battery storage costs. . Ask Continuum about your eligibility in your free assessment.
