Do you know about your current pg&E Plan?

Most People Spend More Hours Researching Solar than PG&E

We believe that when faced with all the information, Solar is a better option than PG&E. However, a lot of people are not aware of what they are actually paying for on their own PG&E bill, or why their PG&E bill is so expensive. It is typically a bill on autopay that people do not pay attention to. This section, we will go over navigating your PG&E account, their different rate plans, their recent rate increases, and more.

Current PG&E Rates

PG&E Rates are currently $0.46 per kWh. However, depending on your electric plan, you can be paying more or less than that rate. Solar rates vary based on your house with the average solar financed plan at $0.26 per kWh
