The California Solar Installation Process & Solar Rights Act
With strict building codes and extensive fire safety regulations, installing solar in California requires an expert team. SunBeam Innovations manages the entire project from design to utility PTO (Permission to Operate).
- NEM 3.0 Engineering: We analyze your TOU load profile to properly size both the solar array and the required battery capacity.
- HOA Compliance (The Solar Rights Act): Under California Civil Code Section 714, it is illegal for an HOA to prohibit you from installing solar. We handle all architectural committee approvals.
- Automated Permitting (SolarAPP+): Many California municipalities now use SolarAPP+, allowing us to secure instant permitting for standard residential systems.
- Installation & Interconnection: After our certified crews install your hybrid system, we pass city inspection and submit to PG&E, SCE, or SDG&E for final grid interconnection.
