Murrieta is one of the Inland Empire's fastest-growing cities — newer construction with solar-ready infrastructure, high homeownership, and SCE rates under NEM 3.0 make battery + solar the right choice. Many Murrieta HOA communities have approved solar; large lots with good southern exposure are common.

Utility: SCE. Avg bill: $145–$225/month. Riverside County — 30% federal ITC + CA property tax exclusion (Rev. & Tax § 73) + SGIP battery incentive + NEM 3.0 net billing.
Under NEM 3.0 (for new installations after April 2023), exported solar earns ~$0.02–$0.08/kWh. Battery storage is essential — store production, use it at night during peak rate hours, maximize self-consumption.
SGIP provides per-kWh incentives for battery storage through SCE. Up to $1,000/kWh for qualifying low-income or high fire risk customers. Your installer applies on your behalf.
