Fountain Valley Solar Installer — Ranch Roofs & Edison Bills
Fountain Valley is mostly single-story and two-story family homes on SCE. The opportunity is straightforward production on open planes—if the quote is honest about NEM 3.0 and does not oversize for noon export.

This is a usage-and-NEM-3 job, not a mystery roof
Many Fountain Valley homes have usable south and west planes. We still size to your SCE bill. “Cover the whole roof” is how you buy cheap exports.
SCE NEM 3 on family bills
Fountain Valley is Edison. Daytime occupancy, AC, and EV charging are what make the system pay. We show that math.
Start with NEM 3.0 explained and the SCE net metering guide.
Composition tracts with real plane area
When the roof is simple, the differentiator is electrical quality and interconnection—not a theatrical design meeting.
1970s–1990s services need a look
Plenty of 200A panels, some crowded. We verify before we lock inverter choice.
