Power up savings with solar.
If you live in Simi Valley, you already know it’s one of the sunniest spots in California, with more than 277 sunny days each year. That’s more than enough sunshine to power your home with solar energy and start saving on electricity. In a city where energy use spikes during the hot inland summers, solar gives homeowners a smarter, more predictable way to manage their utility bills.
Between utility rate hikes and long-term savings potential, solar just makes sense here. Homeowners served by Southern California Edison (SCE) face some of the highest energy costs in the country, with average monthly bills in the Simi Valley area around $257. That’s about 27% higher than what most Americans pay. By generating your own power, you can reduce dependence on the grid and rein in those unpredictable costs.
Here’s why more homeowners in Ventura County are going solar:
Solar protects you from rising SCE rates and seasonal increases.
Batteries help you avoid expensive grid power during peak hours.
You can claim a 30% federal tax credit when you install solar at home.
Recent years have shown how vulnerable California’s electrical grid can be. From wildfire-related shutoffs to rolling blackouts during heat waves, power outages are becoming more common. Simi Valley residents with solar battery storage systems can stay comfortable and connected while others wait for power to be restored.
Modern battery systems store excess solar energy produced during sunny daytime hours for use during evening peak periods or outages. This means you can run your air conditioning, keep food fresh, and maintain connectivity even when the grid fails.
Battery storage also maximizes your solar investment by letting you use your own clean energy instead of purchasing expensive peak-hour electricity from SCE.
When it comes to solar batteries, you have options. Our top recommendations are the Tesla Powerwall 3, the FranklinWH Battery or the Enphase IQ. These batteries stand out for their performance and reliability. These batteries are all great options and deciding which one to pair with your solar system depends on your energy needs.
When comparing these batteries, it’s important to understand two key specifications:
Energy Availability: This refers to the amount of power the battery can consistently provide, measured in kilowatts (kW). A battery with enough energy availability will be able to keep most homes (and all of their appliances) running as usual, even during an outage.
Energy Storage: This is the total amount of energy the battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). A battery with a larger capacity allows homes to stay powered for longer than a battery with a smaller capacity.
All of these battery options are designed to provide sufficient continuous power and energy storage to keep most homes running efficiently even when the grid goes out or during periods of reduced solar production.
Opting for a high-quality battery like one of these will help you decrease your dependence on the grid, save money and make sure you have reliable backup power ready when you need it.
