What Chico homeowners need to know.
Because Chico and Butte County are served by PG&E, the community has a profound understanding of wildfire risk and grid resilience following the 2018 Camp Fire. This shared history makes pairing solar with battery storage one of the most meaningful investments a local homeowner can make.
Sun & production
Homeowners who experienced the Camp Fire or subsequent PSPS events may qualify for battery rebates covering up to 100% of installation costs.
Your utility & rates
Because Chico’s location in the northern Sacramento Valley delivers nearly six peak sun hours per day, its excellent solar production drives a fast payback period and strong long-term savings against rising PG&E rates.
Local energy landscape
PG&E has implemented some of the most extensive PSPS events in Butte County due to the region’s fire risk. For Chico-area homeowners, battery backup is both a financial tool and a genuine safety measure.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum isn’t a national company treating Chico as a distant market. We’re a Northern California solar company — and Butte County is our backyard. Here’s what that means for your installation:
