A California-focused site estimates plug-in solar savings by ZIP code and utility, and tracks kits against state compliance requirements.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-06 issue.

For: California renters and condo owners considering plug-in solar
Worth noticing: The page says extra electricity earns no payment, so projected savings depend on power used as it is generated.

Field notes

The estimate asks for a ZIP code and one of several utility choices, then presents savings and payback as ranges rather than a single promise. The FAQ notes that the law does not require landlords or HOAs to permit a system, and advises renters and HOA members to get written permission. The page says compliant kits are expected around spring to mid-2027; that is a stated expectation, not a confirmed availability date.
