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 PG&E and subject to NEM 3.0 net billing. With average bills of $185–$260/month — and peak-hour rates hitting $0.45–$0.55/kWh — the financial case for solar + battery storage in Citrus Heights has never been stronger.
Local energy landscape
Under NEM 3.0, PG&E pays just ~$0.06/kWh for solar you export — but charges you $0.42–$0.55/kWh to buy it back. Every Citrus Heights solar installation Continuum designs includes storage to keep your energy in your home where it’s worth 7–9× more.
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 Citrus Heights system with storage from the ground up.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum isn’t a national company treating Citrus Heights as a distant market. We’re a Northern California solar company — and Citrus Heights County is our backyard. Here’s what that 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 more favorable than PG&E’s NEM 3.0. Continuum is experienced with SMUD’s interconnection process, export compensation rates, and time-of-use rate plans. Every system we design in Citrus Heights is optimized for exactly how SMUD bills and credits energy.
Local advantage 02
Suburban homes — optimized system design
Citrus Heights’ established residential neighborhoods often feature mature trees and varied roof orientations. Continuum performs a thorough shading analysis and roof evaluation before designing your system — whether that means a string inverter with optimizers or Enphase IQ8 microinverters for complex rooflines, we recommend what’s actually right for your specific home.
Local advantage 03
Close to home — real local service
Continuum’s Sacramento operations team services Citrus Heights regularly. When you call after installation — for a system question, a monitoring issue, or warranty service — you’re reaching a local team that knows your system, knows your address, and can be there fast. That’s the difference between a local company and a national franchise.
The Continuum difference: We’ve installed thousands of solar systems across Northern California. We know Citrus Heights County’s permit requirements, PG&E and SMUD’s interconnection process, and the specific energy challenges Citrus Heights homeowners face. That local knowledge translates directly into faster installations and better-designed systems.
From your first call to full power — our process.
