Is Fallbrook on NEM 3.0 or NEM 2.0?

Fallbrook is served by San Diego Gas & Electric, so new solar systems fall under SDG&E's Net Billing Tariff (NBT) — the utility's NEM 3.0 program — which credits exported energy at variable rates instead of full retail price. Adding battery storage helps agricultural operations and homeowners use more solar power on-site, which is the main way to protect savings under NBT.

Who handles solar permitting in Fallbrook?

Fallbrook is unincorporated, so solar permits go through San Diego County Planning & Development Services rather than a city building department, and may involve zoning review depending on system type and size. SolarCCS handles the county permit process, inspections, and SDG&E interconnection.

Does SolarCCS actually install in Fallbrook?

Yes — SolarCCS serves Fallbrook and the surrounding North San Diego County communities, including agricultural properties, with its own licensed installation crew.

SDG&E territory — Net Billing Tariff (NBT)

Fallbrook is served by San Diego Gas & Electric, so new solar customers fall under the Net Billing Tariff (NBT), SDG&E's NEM 3.0 program, which pays variable avoided-cost rates for exported energy. Battery storage helps growers and homeowners alike get more value from solar by using it on-site.

Avocado Capital of the World

Fallbrook's economy and land use center on avocado groves and agriculture alongside a historic downtown, with the community bordering Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to the west — a mix that includes large agricultural parcels well suited to ground-mount solar.

Equity-program coverage varies by tract

DAC-SASH eligibility in Fallbrook depends on the specific census tract; SGIP battery rebates are closed to new general applicants as of 2026 outside the income-qualified RSSE pathway. SolarCCS verifies eligibility per address.

San Diego County permitting, not "City of"

Fallbrook is unincorporated, so solar permits go through San Diego County Planning & Development Services rather than a city department, with zoning review for both on-site and off-site systems. SolarCCS manages the county permit process and SDG&E interconnection.
