Clean Energy Solutions Built for Southern California Living
Torrance homeowners are discovering the power of the sun like never before. With energy costs climbing and solar technology becoming more accessible, there’s never been a better time to make the switch. At Citadel Roofing & Solar, we make your transition to solar energy simple, cost-effective, and rewarding. Let us help you cut your electricity bills, increase your home’s value, and enjoy reliable energy backup when you need it most.
Ready to see how solar can transform your energy bills? We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Torrance checks all the boxes for a successful solar setup: a mild coastal climate, steady weather throughout the year, and more than 280 sunny days annually. That consistent sun means more reliable energy and a quicker payoff for your investment.
Most Torrance homes are powered by SCE, one of California’s largest electric utilities. SCE customers have seen frequent rate increases in recent years, which just makes solar even more appealing, not just for long-term savings, but also for energy independence. Solar panels help offset those rising costs, and battery storage lets you store what you generate for use during peak rate times or outages.
What’s the Average Electricity Bill in Torrance?
Electricity doesn’t come cheap in Torrance. On average, residents pay around $362 per month with rates hovering around 38 ¢/kWh, well above the state and national average. These numbers add up fast, especially for families with higher energy demands during the warm summer months, when AC is a must.
When you look at these numbers, going solar isn’t just a green decision; it’s a financially savvy one.
California’s aging grid infrastructure, more frequent wildfires, and extreme weather incidents are making outages more and more common. When you add a backup battery to your solar system, you can stay up and running even when the grid goes dark.
Looking at these high numbers, going solar can bring much-needed relief from those soaring rates. Switching to solar can help lower your monthly bills and protect you from future utility rate hikes. When you go solar, you can take control of your energy and turn sky-high bills into savings. Most homeowners see their system pay for itself in around five years because of how quickly monthly savings add up, when combined with available incentives. Here are a few of the ways homeowners can save:
Power outages can disrupt daily life, and when you pair a solar battery with your system you can stay up and running even when the grid goes dark. Even a couple of hours without power can mean spoiled groceries, no internet, or essential medical devices without power. A backup battery stores the extra energy your panels produce so you can keep your food cold, lights on, and your life uninterrupted.
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.
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s the perfect time to go solar. Adding roof replacement with a new solar system means:
And when you install a new roof and solar system at the same time, you’ll align the lifespans of both systems. Solar panels typically last 25 to 30 years, while many roofs have a similar lifespan. By matching your roof’s lifespan with your solar system’s you can avoid the costly disruption of removing and reinstalling panels for roof replacement or repair down the road.
