Local, licensed solar Riverside homeowners can actually read — designed for Riverside Public Utilities (RPU)'s real rules, with every number in writing before you sign.
Your Local Riverside Solar Team
Riverside is the Inland Empire's quiet solar advantage: homes inside the city limits are served by Riverside Public Utilities, a municipal utility that runs its own net-metering program instead of NEM 3.0 — which changes the payback math in your favor. From Victoria-era bungalows in the Wood Streets to newer builds in Orangecrest, we design to RPU's actual rules, not SCE assumptions.
Every Riverside quote starts the same way: we verify which utility bills you, pull your last twelve months of real usage, and design to both. Then your full price, payment, and payback math arrives in writing — before anyone visits your house, and before anyone asks for a signature.
A municipal utility means its own solar program and its own math — often friendlier than SCE's NEM 3.0 next door. We quote to Riverside Public Utilities's actual rules, which most out-of-town sales crews have never read.

Riverside Solar — Common Questions
Riverside homes are billed by Riverside Public Utilities (RPU), which runs its own solar program with its own rules — different from SCE's NEM 3.0 next door, and often friendlier. That changes the right design, which is why we quote to your actual utility's program, not a template.
Riverside is served by Riverside Public Utilities (RPU). This matters more than most solar quotes admit: export credits, rate structures, and interconnection rules all differ by utility, and the right system design follows the rules of whoever actually bills your house. It's the first thing we verify — before any numbers.
Inland Empire market pricing in 2026 runs around $2.29 per watt installed — roughly $20,000 for a typical 8–9 kW system, with batteries a real additional line item. Your written quote shows the full cash price and financed price side by side, so dealer fees have nowhere to hide.
Yes — Daylight Solar is licensed and insured (CSLB Lic. #0000000 (C-46 Solar)), and you can verify any California contractor at the CSLB license lookup before signing anything. We encourage exactly that, for every company that quotes you — especially us.
