Cali Energy is a local, full-stack-licensed solar installer and battery-storage company serving Los Angeles — part of the City of Los Angeles served by LADWP. Because LADWP isn't on the CPUC's NEM 3.0 tariff, net metering in Los Angeles stays more favorable than in neighboring SCE areas, so paybacks remain strong. We're based in Northridge and do every step in-house — solar panels, battery backup, roofing and electrical — under one CSLB license (#1032379: B, C-10, C-39), no subcontractors. Below are real Los Angeles installs, from a 1.7 kW rooftop to a 16 kW system.
