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.

 
01

Your utility & rates

Because PG&E has implemented multiple Public Safety Power Shutoffs in El Dorado County in recent years, a battery backup system is no longer a luxury for El Dorado Hills homeowners. It has become a practical necessity for the safety and comfort of your family.

02

Local energy landscape

El Dorado Hills residents face some of the highest average residential electricity bills in the Sacramento metropolitan area, largely because of larger homes and substantial cooling demands during summer. This higher energy use results in faster payback periods for solar installations compared to the regional average.

— Why Continuum in El Dorado Hills —

Local expertise. No shortcuts.

Continuum isn’t a nationwide company viewing El Dorado Hills as just another remote location. We’re a solar provider based in Northern California, and El Dorado County is part of our local community. Here’s how that makes a difference for your installation:

Local advantage 01

Fire zone specialists

El Dorado Hills is located in an area served by PG&E that’s highly susceptible to power shutoffs. To ensure reliable performance during outages, we design each system for optimal resilience, enabling entire homes to operate independently, incorporating battery banks sized to last multiple days, and using intelligent load management to extend backup power when needed.

Local advantage 03

Large home system expertise

Homes in El Dorado Hills are typically spacious, ranging from 3,000 to over 5,000 square feet, and come with substantial HVAC demands. To address these needs, we tailor our system designs accordingly, frequently suggesting larger solar arrays and multiple battery setups to effectively match real energy usage.

The Continuum difference: We’ve completed thousands of solar installations throughout Northern California. Our team is well-versed in El Dorado County’s permitting rules, PG&E’s interconnection procedures, and the unique energy needs of homeowners in El Dorado Hills.
