Licensing, incentives and consumer rules
California solar contractors need a CSLB C-46 Solar licence (or C-10 Electrical for some electrical scopes). Title 24 energy rules and local building/fire permits apply. The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) supports certain energy-storage projects; the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is a separate IRS matter for homeowners.
California’s high sun hours, Time-of-Use utility rates and the Net Energy Metering successor (NEM 3.0 / Net Billing Tariff) shape system design.
Typical solar work in Oakland
Rooftop photovoltaic supply and install, electrical interconnection, battery storage, system health checks and expansions where the roof and electrical service allow. Every property is different, so it is scoped before any work is quoted.
Ask for the contractor licence appropriate to your state and confirm who pulls the electrical and building permits. Agree interconnection paperwork in writing.
