Who this Marin County guide is for

Homeowners and landlords comparing solar-plus-storage or storage add-ons on PG&E delivery with MCE generation (when enrolled). Peak pricing context: PG&E peak roughly 4–9pm. Local notes: Confirm MCE enrollment on your PG&E bill. Wildfire / PSPS resilience is a common local motivation beyond pure ROI. Pair MCE offers with PG&E/SGIP waitlist checks when income-qualified.

Per the IRS, the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025, so homeowner-owned systems installed in 2026 do not qualify. Leased/PPA systems are owned by a business that follows separate tax rules; ask the provider how that affects your price.
