Completed solar projects in Tarzana, CA

Cali Energy is a local, full-stack-licensed solar installer and battery-storage company serving Tarzana — 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 Tarzana 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 Tarzana installs, from a 2.61 kW rooftop to a 9.75 kW system.

Solar in Tarzana — FAQ

Does Cali Energy install solar in Tarzana?
Yes. We've completed 8+ solar projects across Tarzana, from compact rooftops to larger systems. Our office is in Northridge and we are the licensed contractor of record on every install.
Is net metering in Tarzana different from SCE areas?
Tarzana is served by LADWP, which isn't under the CPUC's NEM 3.0 tariff, so net-metering terms stay more favorable than in neighboring SCE cities — better economics for going solar.
Can you install on tile and shingle roofs in Tarzana?
Yes. We hold a C-39 roofing license and install on tile, composition-shingle and flat roofs in-house, including any roof repair or replacement the project needs.
How long does a solar install take in Tarzana?
The on-roof installation is typically completed in a day once permits are approved. LADWP issues Permission to Operate (PTO) after the final inspection, and the system goes live.
How much does solar cost in Tarzana?
The price depends on your roof, system size and how much power you use, and we offer financing options. The fastest way to a real number is a free, no-obligation on-site estimate.
Can I add a battery or backup power in Tarzana?
Yes. We install battery storage such as Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ Batteries alongside solar, so your home keeps power during outages and stores daytime production for the evening.
