Solar Savings
How Much Can You Save with Solar in Fresno? A Local Guide for Homeowners
If your energy bills have been going up month after month, you’re not alone. In Fresno and across the Central Valley, homeowners are feeling the squeeze — rising utility rates, heatwaves that crank up the A/C, and unpredictable energy costs from providers like PG&E.
But there’s good news: solar energy is more affordable than ever, and it’s helping Fresno families lock in predictable costs and take control of their power.
In this guide, we’ll break down how much you can actually save with solar in Fresno, what affects those savings, and how to check if your home qualifies for free installation programs.
Why Are Energy Bills So High in Fresno?
Fresno has some of the highest solar potential in the country — but it also has skyrocketing electric bills, especially during summer. According to PG&E’s latest data, the average household in Fresno can pay anywhere from $200–$350/month during peak season. And with utility rates continuing to rise, many homeowners feel like they’re losing control.
How Solar Helps You Save
Here’s the simple truth: solar helps you generate your own electricity, so you buy less from the utility company.
Let’s say your current PG&E bill is around $250/month. With a properly sized solar system, your bill could drop to as little as $25–$50/month, or even $0 in some months, depending on your energy usage and system size.
Here’s what contributes to those savings:
✅ Sunlight Efficiency – Fresno’s clear skies mean you get high solar production
✅ Net Metering (NEM 3.0) – While NEM 3.0 changes some credits, solar still drastically reduces reliance on PG&E
✅ Federal Tax Credit – You may qualify for a 30% federal tax credit, cutting your solar cost significantly
✅ Locked-In Rates – Once your solar system is installed, you’re no longer subject to PG&E’s rate hikes
