Does LADWP have a solar incentive process?

*NOTE: The City of Los Angeles’ Solar Process has the incentive, permitting, and interconnection processes integrated throughout the LADWP Solar Incentive process. See below for the entire process. If “yes” is answered to any questions, a pre-construction meeting with an LADWP Electric Service Representation (ESR) is necessary.

What solar programs does LADWP offer?

To make solar more widely available to residential customers, especially those in neighborhoods with less access to solar technology, LADWP offers three residential solar programs: Solar Rooftops, Shared Solar, and Virtual Net Metering (VNEM), along with Feed in Tariff (FIT), and other commercial customer programs.

Does LADWP pay for a solar roof?

LADWP will receive all of the energy generated by the system and the home consumption will not be affected. The customer will receive a check or bill credit as payment for the use of the rooftop, regardless of the amount of solar energy produced from the system. For additional information, please read the Solar Rooftops Guidelines:

How many solar projects are there in LADWP?

How does a LADWP solar panel system work?

After passing inspection, the LADWP will build and own a solar panel system between one (1) to ten (10) kilowatts (kW) on the customer’s rooftop. This process includes designing the solar panel package and pulling a permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).

Do I need an interconnection agreement with LADWP?

*NOTE: LADWP’s Interconnection Process is integrated throughout the Incentive Approval process. Additionally, if your solar system is smaller than 10kW-AC, you are not required to complete an Interconnection Agreement with LADWP.
