Keep your daytime power
A battery stores what your panels make so you use it at night — instead of buying it back from the utility at full retail.

If rising bills sound familiar
The pain — and the fix
The bill spikes after sunset
Panels make power at noon. You use power at night. Without a battery, you still buy the expensive hours.
Exporting barely pays
NEM 3.0 changed the math. Storing your energy beats selling it back for pennies on the dollar.
Own the system, keep the savings
We design for ownership — clear numbers, no lease escalators, and a free assessment before you decide.
Real installs. Real crews.
Before you sign any solar agreement
Make sure your system is properly sized, built for your future energy needs, delivers the savings promised, and is not costing you more than it should. Talk to Option One first.
- Is the system right-sized for my usage?
- Will it cover future needs (EV, ADU)?
- What savings are promised — and in writing?
- What is the true 25-year cost?
Questions, answered
How long does a free assessment take?
About a minute online. An Option One specialist calls shortly with numbers for your address.
Do I need a battery under NEM 3.0?
For most SoCal homes, yes. NEM 3.0 pays little for export — a battery lets you use daytime solar at night instead of buying power back at full retail.
What’s different about owning vs a lease/PPA?
You keep the savings and incentives. Leases/PPAs can look cheap monthly until escalators and the 25-year total — and you often still don't own the system.
What is the Dec 31, 2026 property-tax deadline?
Qualifying systems completed by Dec 31, 2026 can lock in today's exclusion. After that the rules change — start while there's time to permit and install.
