What Fresno homeowners need to know.
Fresno sits in the heart of the Central Valley, primarily served by PG&E. With some of the highest solar production potential in the state, understanding how PG&E’s net metering and time-of-use rates affect your bill is crucial. Continuum specializes in designing systems for the Fresno climate, ensuring your solar + storage setup is built to handle the Valley heat while maximizing your PG&E savings.
Sun & production
Fresno delivers 6.1 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
Fresno homeowners are served by PG&E and subject to NEM 3.0 net billing. With average bills of $210–$300/month — and peak-hour rates hitting $0.45–$0.55/kWh — the financial case for solar + battery storage in Fresno 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 Fresno 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, your new solar installation falls under California’s Net Billing Tariff. Battery storage is the key to maximizing your savings — and Continuum designs every Fresno system with storage from the ground up.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum isn’t a national company treating Fresno as a distant market. We’re a Northern California solar company — and Fresno County is our backyard. Here’s what that means for your installation:
Local advantage 01
Fresno's exceptional solar resource
With 6.1 peak sun hours per day and over 270 sunny days per year, Fresno is one of the strongest solar markets in all of California. Every Continuum system in Fresno is engineered to maximize production during the high-demand summer months when your savings matter most.
Local advantage 02
High summer bills — the case for storage
Fresno homeowners face some of the highest summer electricity bills in Northern California — AC running 24/7 from May through September, exactly when PG&E’s time-of-use rates peak at $0.45–$0.55/kWh. Battery storage lets you store solar power and draw from it during peak hours instead of buying from PG&E.
Local advantage 03
