What Fresno homeowners need to know.
Fresno sits in the heart of the Central Valley and is primarily served by PG&E. Because this region offers some of the highest solar production potential in the state, understanding how PG&E’s net billing and time-of-use rates affect your monthly bill is crucial. Continuum specializes in designing systems for the Fresno climate, ensuring your solar and storage setup is built to handle the intense Valley heat while maximizing your utility savings.
Sun & production
Fresno delivers an impressive 6.1 peak sun hours per day, giving your solar system exceptionally strong production throughout the entire year. The sunny Central Valley climate means your panels generate maximum power exactly when local electricity demand and utility rates peak.
Your utility & rates
Fresno homeowners are served by PG&E and are subject to California’s NEM 3.0 net billing framework. With average monthly bills ranging from $210 to $300 and peak hour rates hitting $0.45 to $0.55 per kilowatt-hour, the financial case for pairing solar panels with battery storage in Fresno has never been stronger.
Local energy landscape
Under the NEM 3.0 framework, PG&E pays just roughly $0.06 per kilowatt-hour for the solar energy you export, yet they charge between $0.42 and $0.55 per kilowatt-hour to buy that power back. Every Fresno solar installation Continuum designs includes integrated battery storage to keep your clean energy in your home where it is worth seven to nine times more.
NEM 3.0 applies here: As a PG&E customer, your new solar installation falls under California’s Net Billing Tariff. Because battery storage is the key to maximizing your savings, Continuum designs every Fresno system with storage from the ground up.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum is not a national company treating Fresno as a distant market. We are a Central Valley solar company, and Fresno County is right in our backyard. Here is what our local presence 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 the Central Valley, with air conditioning running constantly from May through September. This heavy usage happens exactly when PG&E’s time-of-use rates peak at $0.45 to $0.55 per kilowatt-hour, but battery storage lets you store your own solar power and draw from it during those expensive peak hours instead of buying from the utility.
Local advantage 03
