YOUR FIRST-YEAR SNAPSHOT
—
—
This target pricing scenario aims to lower your monthly electricity costs. It is not a confirmed Axia offer or a guaranteed reduction. Your assessment will confirm available pricing, remaining utility costs, equipment and contract terms for your home.
A STARTING POINT FOR YOUR ROOF
How many panels might you need?
This sizing exercise targets annual generation equal to estimated annual consumption. It does not mean a zero utility bill or confirm that this many panels will fit. Shading, roof direction, local weather, setbacks, future usage and battery losses require a site-specific design.
FROM ASSESSMENT TO SWITCH-ON
What happens next—and how long does it take?
Plan in months for the complete process, rather than days. The rooftop installation itself generally takes a few days; permits, inspections and utility approval can add weeks to months. Your advisor will confirm a schedule for your home.
- 01
Review your bill & goals
Confirm annual usage, your utility, roof condition and whether battery backup matters to you.
- 02
Design & written proposal
Review the actual panel layout, production estimate, equipment and full payment terms before deciding.
- 03
Permits & installation
After you approve the proposal, your installer coordinates permits, equipment and installation.
- 04
Inspection & utility approval
The system completes the required inspections and utility permission-to-operate process before activation.
Timing reference: U.S. Department of Energy’s guide to going solar. Roof repairs, electrical upgrades and local approvals can extend the schedule.

How this preliminary estimate is calculated
Target savings model: LADWP uses 43.3% potential first-year savings; Southern California Edison (SCE) uses 36%. Monthly savings equal your bill multiplied by the selected percentage. Combined solar and utility cost equals your bill minus those savings. For a $450 bill, LADWP models $194.85 in monthly savings and SCE models $162.00. These are advisor-selected pricing targets, not utility tariffs, customer averages or confirmed offers. Both calculators use the same starting model; the comparison calculator also models future annual increases.
Usage model: $300/month maps to 1,100 kWh; $400 to 1,350 kWh; $500 to 1,750 kWh. Between examples, usage is interpolated. Below $300 it scales proportionally; above $500 the final interval is extrapolated. Usage estimates outside $300–$500 are especially uncertain.
Monthly difference: current bill minus modeled solar payment minus a remaining utility allowance of $20 (capped at the combined cost for very small bills). This allowance is not a utility quote; imports, fixed charges and export credits can change it substantially. Annual difference equals the first-year monthly difference multiplied by 12. No future rate increases are assumed in this snapshot.
Panel range: annual usage divided by an illustrative production range of 1,400–1,800 kWh per installed kW per year, then divided by the selected panel kW and rounded up. These are adjustable-design scenario assumptions, not a measured production forecast for your address. The default is 400 W per panel. Actual bill usage, if entered, replaces modeled usage for sizing.
Not included: a cash purchase price, loan APR or term, confirmed lease/PPA terms, battery pricing, upfront costs, fees, incentives, maintenance, replacements or roof/electrical work. A written proposal must address applicable costs and terms. This page does not determine financing eligibility.
