Paying More for Power That Keeps Going Out?
Keep the money. Keep the lights on.
Edison doubled its rates in 10 years and still shuts the power off when the wind blows. Solar + battery cuts the bill and keeps the fridge, the Wi-Fi and the Dodger game running when the grid goes dark.

Your 10 Year Solar + Battery Savings
Why Your SCE Bill Doubled in 10 Years
SCE's average residential rate went up 101% from 2016 to 2026, according to the state's own ratepayer watchdog. That's about 7% a year. Wildfire costs, grid upgrades, data centers and electric cars like Teslas are all leaning on the same grid, and somebody pays for it. Hint: it's you. And last year Edison still shut the power off on 534,000 customers.
We ran your numbers at their real 10 year average: about 7% a year.
vs. $0 paid to SCE over the same 25 years if nothing changes.
See it year by year
Example estimates, not a quote. Assumes an effective cost of about 38¢ per kWh for a non-discount SCE home on a time-of-use plan (SCE's average across all residential customers is about 34.5¢), the yearly rate increase you pick, about 1,600 kWh per kW per year from a Southern California rooftop, 400 watt panels, 0.5% yearly panel output loss, an example installed price of $2.50 per watt for solar plus $14,000 per 13.5 kWh battery (two batteries at $450+ bills), paid in cash. About 15% of your bill is assumed to remain under SCE's net billing rules and fixed charges. Backup hours assume about 1 kW of essential load and about 90% of the battery's capacity in use; real backup time depends on what you run and how much sun there is. The 25 year figure keeps the same yearly rate increase for 25 years, assumes today's net billing rules hold, and doesn't include future maintenance or equipment replacement, such as a battery replacement. Financing changes the math. Your real number depends on your roof, shade, usage, equipment and tariff.
Pay More. Get Less. Lose Power Anyway.
You didn't add a hot tub. You didn't take up crypto mining. They raised the price, then turned your lights off anyway.
Average Per kWh
SCE's average residential rate in 2026, and that's the average. On time-of-use plans, the 4 to 9 pm hours cost the most. Right when you get home.
In 10 Years
SCE's average residential rate more than doubled from 2016 to 2026. Your paycheck probably didn't.
Customers Shut Off
SCE cut power to 534,000 customers in 2025 safety shutoffs when the wind kicked up. Almost four times the year before.
Don't Take Our Word for It.
What the same kWh of SCE power cost a home, using the state ratepayer watchdog's own numbers.
About 7% a year, on average. That's the number our calculator uses. And while you were paying double, Edison shut off power to 534,000 customers in 2025.

On SCE, Solar Alone Isn't the Play. Solar + Battery Is.
Since April 2023, new SCE solar customers are on the Net Billing Tariff, better known as NEM 3.0. Power you send back to Edison earns a fraction of what they charge you for it. So the smart move is to stop selling it to them cheap and keep it for yourself.
Panels Work the Day Shift
The sun shows up every day. Your panels power the house and fill the battery.
Battery Works the Night Shift
From 4 to 9 pm, when Edison charges the most, your house runs on stored sun instead.
Grid Goes Dark, You Don't
When the power cuts out, the battery keeps your essentials on. The sun refills it the next morning.
Export credits are set by SCE's Net Billing Tariff and change over time. Backup requires a battery system configured for backup, and what it can run depends on battery size, your loads and the weather. Program rules can change; we'll walk you through what currently applies to your address.
Edison Goes Dark. Your House Doesn't.
A battery isn't just about the bill. It's about not losing the bottom of the ninth, the groceries, or your whole workday because the wind picked up.
The Game Stays On
Bases loaded, bottom of the ninth, and the screen goes black. Not anymore. TV, Wi-Fi and lights keep running.
Medical Equipment
If someone at home relies on powered medical equipment, a battery is a backup plan you don't have to drive to. Pair it with SCE's Medical Baseline program.
Groceries Stay Cold
A full fridge and freezer is a few hundred bucks. A battery keeps it cold through a shutoff instead of into the trash.
EV Runs on Sunshine
Charge the car on your own power instead of Edison's evening rates. Some newer EVs can even back up the house. Ask us if yours can.
A home battery is not a medical device and isn't a substitute for a medical emergency plan. If someone in your home depends on powered medical equipment, talk to their doctor and look into SCE's Medical Baseline program.
