Solar + storage in
Lodi, CA.
Lodi is served by a city-owned municipal utility, Lodi Electric, which operates under its own net-metering rules that are somewhat more favorable than PG&E’s NEM 3.0. We run both scenarios when quoting for homes in Lodi. With 5.8 peak sun hours and very low exposure to Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events, the economics for solar in this area are very strong.

What Lodi homeowners need to know.
Lodi’s municipal utility is one of the factors that makes this market different from the rest of our service area, and it works in favor of homeowners. Here is the full picture before you get a quote.
Sun & production
Lodi averages 5.8 peak sun hours per day, which is higher than the national average and represents one of the stronger production figures across our San Joaquin County service area. There are approximately 15,000 owner-occupied homes in the city. We are actively installing solar in neighborhoods such as Lakewood, Henry Long Homes, Windmill Cove, Downtown Lodi, and West Lodi.
Your utility & rates
Most homes in Lodi are served by Lodi Electric Utility, which is the city-owned municipal provider. Because Lodi Electric maintains its own net-metering rules that are somewhat more favorable than PG&E’s NEM 3.0, solar-only systems can often be a better financial decision here than in PG&E territory. Since some parts of Lodi are still served by PG&E under NEM 3.0, we identify your specific utility provider and run both economic scenarios when preparing your quote.
Wildfire & PSPS exposure
Lodi’s valley-floor grid is among the most stable in our entire service area. Battery storage here is driven primarily by bill savings and energy independence, not wildfire backup. That said, pairing battery with solar still delivers strong returns under either utility’s net-metering structure.
Lodi Electric vs. PG&E – it matters for your quote: If your home is served by Lodi Electric, your net-metering compensation is governed by the utility’s municipal tariff rather than California’s NEM 3.0. This can result in better export rates and a different calculation for battery payback. Continuum always identifies your utility provider upfront and tailors the cash-flow analysis to your actual situation instead of using a generic Northern California solar estimate.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum is not a national company treating Lodi as a distant territory. We are a Northern California solar company, and San Joaquin County is a core part of our service area. Here is what that means for your installation.

The Continuum difference: Most solar companies quote Lodi homes using generic PG&E NEM 3.0 assumptions, even when the home is served by Lodi Electric. This produces incorrect payback projections. Continuum identifies your utility provider first and applies the correct tariff to ensure you receive a cash-flow analysis reflecting your actual situation before you sign any agreements.
