16.8 kW on a tile roof — Sherman Oaks
A 16.8 kW system on a tile roof in Sherman Oaks — 42 QCELL panels, Enphase IQ8+. Clean, low-profile panel layout that follows the roof lines.
Cali Energy is a local, full-stack-licensed solar installer and battery-storage company serving Sherman Oaks — 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 Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks installs, from a 3.25 kW rooftop to a 16.8 kW system.

Five of our eight Sherman Oaks case studies are new houses, and on several of them the solar conduit ran through open framing before the walls were closed. On a lot with a finished ADU, a separate meter for each building spared a trench between them, and Cali Energy took the main house from application to net meter in seven days in December 2025.
On a 2021 Sherman Oaks job the main service panel was replaced along with the solar. When LADWP said meter spots in the area were running fifteen to twenty days, we asked for a virtual inspection instead, and the house had its net meter forty-four days after the application. On a new house with a brand-new service the next year, the three photographs LADWP asked for, of the meter, the panel workspace and the weather head, released the field order the day they arrived, and the net meter followed in July 2022.
