What Lincoln homeowners need to know.

Lincoln homeowners are served by PG&E, making NEM 3.0 the governing solar policy for new installations. Battery storage is the critical piece that makes solar financially compelling under the current rate structure.

01

Sun & production

Lincoln’s newer master-planned neighborhoods and Sun City Del Webb are prime real estate for solar power. Unshaded, perfectly angled roofs combined with highly energy-conscious homeowners make switching to solar an easy choice.

02

Your utility & rates

Because of Lincoln’s rapid expansion within Placer County, most homes here are newer builds. This modern construction allows for much cleaner, simpler solar installations compared to older neighborhoods with tricky, cut-up roof designs.

03

Local energy landscape

Living on the outer edges of Lincoln offers beautiful semi-rural surroundings, but it can also mean dealing with occasional power outages. A home battery backup is an increasingly practical investment to keep your lights on when the local grid drops.

NEM 3.0 applies here: As a PG&E customer, your new solar system will operate under California’s Net Billing Tariff. To get the most out of your savings, adding battery storage is essential. Continuum integrates storage into every Lincoln system right from the initial design phase.

— Why Continuum in Lincoln —

Local expertise. No shortcuts.

Continuum isn’t a national corporation viewing Lincoln as just another remote location. We’re a solar company rooted in Northern California, and Placer County is part of our local community. Here’s how that makes a difference for your installation:

Local advantage 01

New construction expertise

Lincoln’s booming new development means many homeowners are either adding solar to new construction or upgrading recently built homes. We work closely with builders and homeowners on system integration during and after construction.

Local advantage 02

Active adult community experience

Sun City Lincoln Hills and Del Webb’s Lincoln Crossing have specific HOA requirements and rooftop considerations. Continuum has experience navigating HOA approvals and design requirements in these communities.

Local advantage 03

Right-sized systems

Homes in Lincoln, being relatively newer and more energy-efficient, typically use less energy overall. This lower baseline consumption allows solar systems to be appropriately sized instead of excessively large, cutting initial expenses while still delivering solid returns on investment.

The Continuum difference: We’ve completed thousands of solar installations throughout Northern California, giving us firsthand experience with Placer County’s permitting rules, PG&E’s interconnection procedures, and the unique energy needs of homeowners in Lincoln. This local expertise allows us to design more effective systems and complete installations more efficiently.
