assessment for Citrus Heights homeowners
What Citrus Heights homeowners need to know.
Citrus Heights is exclusively served by SMUD, offering residents some of the lowest electricity rates in California. To get the most out of your investment, your solar system must be designed to align with SMUD’s specific billing cycles and incentives. Continuum specializes in SMUD-optimized solar + battery storage, ensuring every system we install in Citrus Heights delivers maximum long-term value.
Sun & production
Citrus Heights delivers 5.8 peak sun hours per day, giving your solar system strong year-round production. The Central Valley climate means your panels generate maximum power exactly when electricity demand and rates are highest.
Your utility & rates
Citrus Heights homeowners are served by SMUD, meaning they face unique time-of-day pricing structures. With average summer bills ranging from $185 to $260 per month and peak-hour rates climbing significantly, the financial case for solar and battery storage in Citrus Heights has never been stronger.
Local energy landscape
Under SMUD’s Solar Billing Plan, the utility pays a lower rate for the solar electricity you export while charging higher peak rates when the sun goes down. Every Citrus Heights solar installation Continuum designs includes storage to keep your energy in your home where it is worth significantly more.
NEM 3.0 applies here: As a SMUD customer, your new solar installation falls under the utility’s Solar Billing Plan. Integrated battery storage is the absolute key to maximizing your financial savings, which is why Continuum designs every Citrus Heights system with storage built in from the ground up.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum isn’t a national company treating Citrus Heights as a distant market. As a dedicated Northern California solar company, we consider Citrus Heights to be right in our own backyard. Here is what that local presence means for your installation:
Local advantage 01
SMUD expertise — we know your utility
Citrus Heights is served by SMUD, which currently operates a net metering program that is more favorable than PG&E’s NEM 3.0 rules.

Local advantage 02
Suburban homes — optimized system design
Citrus Heights’ established residential neighborhoods often feature mature trees and varied roof orientations.
