Is Menifee on NEM 3.0 or NEM 2.0?

New solar customers in Menifee are enrolled under Southern California Edison's NEM 3.0 Solar Billing Plan rather than the older NEM 2.0 tariff. Because exported power is credited at a lower rate under NEM 3.0, adding battery storage to use solar power during evening peak hours is what protects your savings.

Who handles solar permitting in Menifee?

The City of Menifee issues solar permits directly, with standardized guidelines and low fees to encourage adoption. SolarCCS manages plan check, permit submittal, inspection, and SCE interconnection for every Menifee installation.

Are there solar rebates or incentives in Menifee?

SGIP, California's battery storage rebate, closed to general applicants in 2026 and now only supports the income-qualified RSSE pathway. Some Menifee tracts, including parts of older neighborhoods, may qualify for DAC-SASH (GRID Alternatives, income-qualified), but this varies by tract, not citywide. The federal residential 25D tax credit expired December 31, 2025, and should not be promised to homeowners.

Does SolarCCS actually install in Menifee?

Yes. SolarCCS is based in Riverside and installs across Menifee — from Sun City to the newer master-planned neighborhoods — with a SolarCCS-led install team.

About this service area

Solar in Menifee, specifically

Menifee sits in Southern California Edison (SCE) territory, and new solar customers are billed under the NEM 3.0 Solar Billing Plan, which rewards pairing solar with battery storage. The city blends master-planned residential communities with the historic Sun City senior housing district, giving it one of the most diverse housing stocks in SW Riverside County. SolarCCS manages design and City of Menifee permitting for homeowners across every neighborhood type in the city.

What matters here

What Menifee homeowners should know

SCE territory — NEM 3.0 Solar Billing Plan

Menifee homeowners installing solar are placed on Southern California Edison's NEM 3.0 Solar Billing Plan, which reduces credit for exported solar power relative to the older NEM 2.0 program. Battery storage lets homeowners use their own daytime solar power in the evening instead of selling it back at a lower rate.

Master-planned communities plus Sun City senior housing

Menifee's housing stock ranges from large master-planned family communities to the historic Sun City 55+ neighborhood, a former Del Webb development with roughly 4,762 homes. That mix of home types calls for solar and battery designs tailored to each roof and usage pattern.

Equity-program coverage varies by tract

Some Menifee census tracts may qualify for DAC-SASH (GRID Alternatives, income-qualified); coverage is tract-specific, not citywide, so SolarCCS verifies eligibility for your address before quoting anything.

City of Menifee permitting

The City of Menifee issues solar PV permits with standardized permitting guidelines and low permit fees to encourage renewable installations. SolarCCS handles the full permit, inspection, and SCE interconnection process.

“Close to 200 homes are being built in the Nautical Cove development at Holland Road and Southshore Drive.”
