Is Murrieta on NEM 3.0 or NEM 2.0?

New solar installations in Murrieta fall under Southern California Edison's NEM 3.0 Solar Billing Plan rather than the older NEM 2.0 tariff. Because NEM 3.0 pays less for power exported to the grid, adding battery storage to use solar energy at night is what protects long-term savings.

Who handles solar permitting in Murrieta?

The City of Murrieta's Development Services Department handles solar permitting, including a SolarApp+ self-issuing option for qualifying systems. SolarCCS manages the full plan check, permit, inspection, and SCE interconnection process.

Are there solar rebates or incentives in Murrieta?

SGIP, California's battery rebate program, closed to general applicants in 2026, leaving only the income-qualified RSSE pathway open. Some Murrieta tracts may qualify for DAC-SASH (GRID Alternatives, income-qualified), but this depends on the specific census tract, not the city as a whole. The federal residential 25D solar tax credit expired at the end of 2025 and should not be promised to homeowners.

Does SolarCCS actually install in Murrieta?

Yes. SolarCCS is based in Riverside and installs throughout Murrieta and greater Riverside County using a SolarCCS-led install team.

What matters here

What Murrieta homeowners should know

SCE territory — NEM 3.0 Solar Billing Plan

Murrieta homeowners going solar are billed under Southern California Edison's NEM 3.0 Solar Billing Plan, which reduces the value of exported power compared to the earlier NEM 2.0 program. Battery storage helps homeowners use their own solar power during evening peak pricing instead of exporting it at a lower rate.

Fast-growing bedroom community

Murrieta is largely residential and is typically characterized as a bedroom community sitting at the center of the Los Angeles–San Diego mega-region. Large single-family rooftops throughout the city are well-suited to full offset solar systems.

Equity-program coverage varies by tract

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

City of Murrieta permitting

The City of Murrieta issues solar permits through its Development Services Department and supports SolarApp+ self-issuing permits for qualifying residential systems. SolarCCS manages plan submittal, permitting, inspection, and interconnection from start to finish.
