Frequently Asked Questions
How does NEM 3.0 affect my residential solar savings in California?
Under NEM 3.0, export credits for sending excess solar power back to the grid during daytime dropped by ~75%. Adding battery storage lets you store that energy and deploy it during peak evening hours (4 PM - 9 PM) to bypass high utility rates.
Do residential buildings require battery storage for Title 24 compliance?
Yes, for new residential construction and certain detached ADU builds across California, Title 24 energy mandates require battery storage integration or battery-ready infrastructure.
Does AD Solar use subcontractors for home installations?
No. AD Solar operates 100% in-house with licensed General Building and Electrical technicians under CSLB License #B1027903.
What is the standard timeframe for a residential solar installation?
Physical roof mounting and electrical wiring take 1-2 days. City building permits and utility interconnection typically take 2-4 weeks depending on your local utility provider.
