What Rio Vista homeowners need to know.
Rio Vista is a smaller market in Solano County with one distinctive feature. A significant portion of the solar activity in this area comes from Trilogy at Rio Vista, which is a 55+ active adult community that has its own HOA approval process. Here is what is specific to your location.
Sun & production
Rio Vista averages 5.6 peak sun hours per day, which is on par with the national average. Although the Sacramento River creates slightly more morning cloud cover than is seen in inland Solano County, solar production numbers in this area remain strong. There are approximately 3,500 owner-occupied homes in the region, with neighborhoods such as Trilogy at Rio Vista, Riverview, and Downtown Rio Vista serving as active areas for solar installations.
Your utility & rates
Rio Vista is served by PG&E under the NEM 3.0 tariff. Under this Net Billing Tariff, battery storage is the key to maximizing your savings because exported solar energy earns significantly less value without a battery. Continuum designs every Rio Vista system with storage from the ground up and includes full year-by-year cash-flow projections in every quote.
Trilogy HOA & ARC process
Solar installations at Trilogy at Rio Vista must be approved by the HOA Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before permits can be pulled. Continuum manages the entire ARC submission and approval process for you. We are familiar with Trilogy’s requirements, how to prepare the necessary documentation, and how to avoid the delays often caused by incomplete submittals.
Trilogy homeowners — we handle the HOA process: If you live in Trilogy at Rio Vista, your solar project requires ARC approval before you can pull city permits. Continuum manages the entire process, including ARC documentation, submission, and follow-up, as well as the City of Rio Vista permits and PG&E interconnection. You will have one point of contact from start to finish, and we will provide your full project timeline in writing before you commit.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum is not a national company that treats Rio Vista like a distant territory. We are a Northern California solar company, and Solano County is part of our core service area. Here is what that means for your installation:

The Continuum difference: Most solar companies are unfamiliar with Trilogy’s ARC requirements, leading them to submit incomplete packages that are often delayed or rejected. Because Continuum has navigated this process many times, we prepare complete ARC documentation the first time. This ensures faster approval and prevents mid-project surprises. Furthermore, we handle city permits and PG&E interconnection under a single, fixed-price quote.
