What El Dorado Hills homeowners need to know.
El Dorado Hills is fully in PG&E territory and falls under California’s NEM 3.0 Net Billing Tariff for all new solar installations. The area’s location in PG&E’s High Fire Threat District makes battery storage both financially and practically essential.
Your utility & rates
PG&E has implemented Public Safety Power Shutoffs in El Dorado County multiple times in recent years. For El Dorado Hills homeowners, battery backup isn’t a luxury — it’s a practical necessity for the safety and comfort of your family.
Local energy landscape
El Dorado Hills has some of the highest average residential electricity bills in the Sacramento metro area due to larger home sizes and significant summer cooling loads — making solar payback faster than average.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum isn’t a national company treating El Dorado Hills as a distant market. We’re a Northern California solar company — and El Dorado County is our backyard. Here’s what that means for your installation:
Local advantage 01
Fire zone specialists
El Dorado Hills sits squarely in PSPS-prone PG&E territory. We configure every system for maximum outage resilience — full home islanding, properly sized battery banks for multi-day coverage, and smart load management for extended backup duration.
Local advantage 03
Large home system expertise
El Dorado Hills homes tend to be larger with 3,000–5,000+ sq ft floor plans and significant HVAC loads. We design systems for these realities — often recommending larger arrays and multi-battery configurations to properly offset actual consumption.
The Continuum difference: We’ve installed thousands of solar systems across Northern California. We know El Dorado County’s permit requirements, PG&E’s interconnection process, and the specific energy challenges El Dorado Hills homeowners face. That local knowledge translates directly into faster installations and better-designed systems.
From your first call to full power — our process.
Every Continuum installation in El Dorado Hills follows the same rigorous process. One team, start to finish. No dropped handoffs, no surprises.
