7.34 kW on a tile roof — Reseda
A 7.34 kW system on a tile roof in Reseda. Installed 2025. Granted LADWP Permission to Operate in November 2025.
Cali Energy is a local, full-stack-licensed solar installer and battery-storage company serving Reseda — 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 Reseda 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). Below are real Reseda installs, from a 1.7 kW rooftop to a 7.34 kW system.

Ten Reseda case studies go further than the photographs above — what the roof was, what the service took, how the permit and the interconnection actually ran, and what happened after the system was switched on.
On a Reseda roof of clay barrel tile, only the array's footprint was converted to shingle and the original tile was re-laid around it. Cali Energy fixed the layout first and gave the roofer the planes to convert, the conduit route and the module footprint, then mounted seventeen modules on flashed attachments in the new shingle; the final passed six days after the installation and the system was switched on in November 2025.
On a 2025 Reseda job the main service panel was upgraded with the array, and the circuit ran underground across the side yard; the trench stayed open until the final inspection passed over video and was released for backfill that day, and the house had permission to operate that April. In a six-unit Reseda building in 2019, we rebuilt the shared six-gang meter cabinet to the published clearance standard and had an air conditioning condenser moved out of the working space before LADWP energized one owner's 6 kW system.
Main panel upgrades: how we do it →Nine systems in ZIP code 91335 report to our monitoring, two of them for more than five years. On one Reseda lot we installed the house system in 2019 and the new ADU's in 2023, and when the older system raised a voltage mismatch alarm later that year, we diagnosed it on site and repaired it, with the monitoring back to normal.
Solar repair: how we do it →A module warranty generally expects removal and reinstallation by an installer the manufacturer authorizes. In 2024 Reseda owners whose original installer was gone found us on the module maker's authorized list; we took their eighteen modules down in a day, stored them in the garage through the re-roof, and set them back on new flashings when the roof was finished.
Solar removal and reinstall: how we do it →One licensed contractor covers solar, battery, roofing and electrical, so the job does not get handed between companies.
Based in Northridge, we know LADWP permitting and net metering inside out.
