Solar + storage in
Woodland, CA.
Woodland’s large-lot homes are well suited for bigger photovoltaic arrays, and 10 to 14 kW systems paired with batteries are common in this area. The city shares the same VCE CCA utility structure as Davis, benefits from a strong 5.7 hours of sun per day, and features a straightforward permit process with the City of Woodland Building Division.

What Woodland homeowners need to know.
Woodland is a Tier 2 Yolo County market that utilizes the same VCE CCA utility structure as nearby Davis. Additionally, the larger lot sizes in this area often support bigger solar systems than those found in typical suburban installations. Here is what you need to know about your location.
Sun & production
Woodland averages 5.7 peak sun hours per day, which is higher than the national average and represents one of the stronger production figures in our Yolo County service area. There are approximately 12,000 owner-occupied homes here, and we are currently active with solar installations in neighborhoods such as Downtown Woodland, Spring Lake, North Woodland, the County Fair neighborhood, and Wild Wings.
Your utility & rates
Woodland is part of the Valley Clean Energy (VCE) CCA territory, meaning that PG&E delivers your electricity while VCE provides the generation supply. This is the same utility structure used in Davis, and NEM 3.0 applies to all new solar installations here. Battery storage is essential to maximizing your savings under the current Net Billing Tariff. Continuum designs every Woodland system with VCE’s specific tariff structure in mind rather than using a generic PG&E NEM 3.0 template.
Large lots & bigger systems
Due to larger residential lot sizes in Woodland, many homes can accommodate 10 to 14 kW solar systems, which are larger than typical suburban installations in the Sacramento area. These properties often feature more roof space, better azimuth options, and stronger overall production potential. Furthermore, agricultural-adjacent neighborhoods located outside the city limits have experienced some wildfire-related power outages, making battery backup particularly relevant for those properties.
VCE – not generic PG&E: Since Woodland homeowners are served by Valley Clean Energy (VCE) rather than standard PG&E, Continuum always includes VCE-specific cash-flow projections in every quote we provide for this area. This ensures your payback figures reflect your actual utility tariff instead of a generic Northern California estimate. If you have received other quotes that only reference PG&E NEM 3.0, you should ask whether they have specifically accounted for VCE.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum is not a national company that treats Woodland as a distant territory. We are a Northern California solar company, and Yolo County is our core service area. We have been installing systems here since 2014 under our previous name, North Valley LLC. Here is what that means for your installation:
Local advantage 01
VCE/PG&E & Yolo County expertise
We know Woodland’s VCE CCA structure, NEM 3.0 economics, City of Woodland permit process, and the larger-lot system sizing opportunities that set Woodland apart from smaller suburban markets.
Local advantage 02
Tesla Certified for all of Yolo County
Continuum is a Tesla Certified Installer for Yolo County. We routinely install Powerwall 3 units in Woodland, and we also carry the FranklinWH aPower 2 and Enphase IQ as alternative battery solutions.
Local advantage 03
Licensed, experienced installation teams
Every install is completed by trained, licensed technicians who know Yolo County’s requirements. One coordinated team from first call to Permission to Operate.
The Continuum difference: Although Woodland homeowners are served by Valley Clean Energy (VCE), they are sometimes quoted using generic PG&E NEM 3.0 assumptions. Continuum identifies your specific utility provider upfront, runs VCE-specific cash-flow projections, and sizes your system based on your actual roof and usage rather than a one-size-fits-all suburban template. Larger lots in Woodland deserve a design conversation that accounts for what your roof can actually support.
