Higher monthly usage can make the solar and battery conversation more meaningful.

Roofing Contractor

A roof page should do more than promise a free estimate.

BrightShield makes the roofing decision feel controlled: what is wrong, how urgent it is, whether solar changes the plan, and what appointment makes sense next.

Roof first

We check whether the roof should be repaired or replaced before solar goes on.

One plan

Solar, battery, roof condition, and timing are reviewed together.

Local follow-up

The request stays with BrightShield instead of getting sold into a lead marketplace.

California Solar Rules

PG&E solar decisions now need a battery and export strategy.

BrightShield helps homeowners compare NEM 3.0, battery storage, non-export expansion options, ownership, financing, and PPAs before choosing a path.

PG&E and NEM 3.0

New PG&E solar customers are generally evaluated under the Solar Billing Plan / Net Billing Tariff, where export credit values vary by time, season, and program year.

Batteries matter more

Under NEM 3.0, the best plan often focuses on using more solar at home, storing extra production, and reducing expensive evening grid usage.

Legacy NEM expansion

Some NEM 1.0 and NEM 2.0 homeowners may be able to review Enphase non-export expansion options that limit export while adding solar or storage.

System and Payment Options

Compare the equipment and contract structure before signing.

Tesla Powerwall 3

Integrated solar and battery storage for backup power, self-consumption, and time-based energy use. Financing can be reviewed during the estimate.

Enphase non-export systems

A practical path for some California homeowners who want added capacity while controlling or preventing export to the grid.

Ownership or PPA

Compare owning the system through cash or financing against a PPA where a provider owns the equipment and sells you the energy.

California Solar, Battery + Roofing

Solar is only as strong as the roof underneath it.

California homeowners need a smarter plan that considers electric bills, home usage, roof condition, battery storage, and future power needs. BrightShield also keeps roofing, NEM, and true-up questions in the conversation so the estimate feels practical, not generic.

What we look at

  • Monthly electric bill range
  • Homeownership and property fit
  • Roof age, condition, type, shade, and available space
  • Repair or replacement needs before solar
  • Battery interest and backup power goals
  • NEM, true-up, and utility questions
  • Timeline for making a decision
