You must own your home and you must be a PRIME customer.  There are no other qualifications (no FICO score review, etc). If you rent, please have your landlord reach out to Marco@Participate.Energy for our Renters Program. If you live within PRIME jurisdiction, but are not currently a PRIME customer, please call PRIME to enroll at 1-800 GO-PRIME.

You must be an existing PRIME customer to qualify. Go to CaliforniaChoiceEnergyAuthority.com/PRIME-Power-Choice/ and be sure to have your electric bill ready:Enter home address and average electric bill monthly costChoose “Solar Panels + Powerwall” and click “Next”Under Power Choice Program, check the “Participate in Program” boxClick the “Continue to Order” buttonYou will now enter your personal information to set up a Tesla accountAfter uploading your electric bill, you will be contacted by a Project Advisor

You will have two sets of charges on your monthly SCE bill. Delivery charges are presented from SCE and represent transmission and delivery services. Generation charges are presented from PRIME and represent energy supply purchased from PRIME on your behalf. If you aren’t sure, please contact PRIME representative at PRIMECustomerService@Pico-Rivera.org.

If you have set up an online SCE account, you should have the ability to see your billing statements. If you are a PRIME customer, and need assistance finding a recent billing statement, please contact PRIME representative at PRIMECustomerService@Pico-Rivera.org.

Yes. When you enroll in the Power Choice program you agree to buy the power produced and energy services provided by the system on a fixed long-term basis locking in energy savings over time. Separately, you will agree to allow Tesla to install and service the system.

Yes, but if you opt out of the program after the solar + battery has been installed, you will need to buyout the system at a fair market value.

The installation time (construction crew at your house) is about 1 week, but the total timeline from order to install is about 3-4 months. This includes time to receive all the relevant customer information, design and permit the system, submit for interconnection from the utility and prepare for construction. After the system is installed, it normally takes 2-6 weeks to receive permission-to-operate where the system can freely operate and export extra electricity (not consumed or stored on site) back to the utility.

When you sell your house the contract transfers to the new home buyer without any additional credit score (FICO) review or customer underwriting of any kind. Additionally, if the future owner wants to own the system themselves, they may buyout the system at “fair market value.”

With our Renters Program, with landlord and tenant approval, the landlord will give permission to install and keep the system at the home and the tenant will sign up for electric service with PRIME and select the Power Choice tariff. If interested, please have your landlord email Marco@Participate.Energy.

Your system will be custom designed by Tesla designers based on your annual electricity usage and available roof space. When you submit your initial order on the Tesla.com/energy website, you will approve an initial rough estimate, which will be further refined between you and Tesla.

Tesla will work with you to design the appropriate system size. If you expect to increase your home electric loads (e.g. future EV purchase, new pool pump, new electric appliances, etc.), you can work with your Tesla Project Advisor who can submit a justification to the utility for a larger system. Generally, you only want to size your system to your total annual loads, so over sizing a system should be based on expected increase in future energy use.
