PG&E has introduced a new fixed monthly Base Charge for all customers. In this post, we explain what it means, how it affects your bill, and why solar and batteries remain the most effective way to reduce your reliance on PG&E long-term.

The 30% federal solar tax credit ended December 31, 2025 — and many homeowners missed it due to factors outside their control. But through a pre-paid PPA, you can still save up to 23% on a solar system through 2027, with no monthly payments and full ownership after six years.

Thousands of Californians just told the state what they think of PG&E’s latest plan to raise rates again: “We can’t afford it.” With electric bills set to rise 15% by 2030, solar + battery storage still offers homeowners the best shot at stability, independence, and long-term savings.

Federal attacks on solar are making headlines, but California homeowners still have powerful reasons to go solar now. Learn what’s real, what’s noise, and how to lock in the 30% tax credit before it disappears.
