What does SCE charge you every month?
Every dollar on that slider is money sent to a monopoly. Let's see what you can take back.

The SCE Problem in Banning
Banning's desert-fringe climate means summer highs regularly exceed 104 degrees, with heat waves pushing past 110. Air conditioning is not optional here - it is a survival necessity from May through October. Homes on the Banning Bench get slightly more wind but no relief from the relentless sun. Older homes in Downtown Banning and East Banning often have inadequate insulation, making the AC work even harder and driving SCE bills past $400 in peak months.
Banning summer temperatures reach 104°F+ - driving AC usage and SCE bills through the roof.
Why Solar Makes Sense in Banning
Banning sits at the western mouth of San Gorgonio Pass, the natural corridor between the Inland Empire and the Coachella Valley desert. This position gives it desert-level sunshine - over 285 sunny days per year - combined with lower home prices than most of the Inland Empire, making the solar payback period among the shortest in the region. The Sun Lakes retirement community alone represents thousands of homeowners on fixed incomes who benefit enormously from predictable solar payments versus unpredictable SCE rate hikes.
Solar Savings in Banning: What the Numbers Show
Based on current SCE rates, Banning home sizes, and real PPA terms from local installers.
| Detail | With SCE | With Solar PPA |
|---|---|---|
| Avg. monthly bill | $280-$440/mo | ~40-55% less |
| Rate per kWh | 35+ cents (rising) | Locked rate, 3.5% escalator |
| Typical system size | N/A | 8.2 kW |
| Annual sun hours | N/A | 5,950+ |
| Upfront cost | Ongoing bills forever | $0 down (PPA) |
Estimates based on typical Banning home size (8.2 kW system), current SCE rates, and standard PPA terms. Your actual savings depend on usage, roof, and system size.
Your Savings Scenario in Banning
A Banning homeowner in Sun Lakes paying $360/mo to SCE would pay approximately $165/mo with solar - saving $195/mo from day one. Over 25 years, that's $58,500 kept in their pocket instead of sent to Edison.
With a solar PPA, your rate escalates at 3.5% - not 7%+
That gap compounds every year. Over 25 years, a homeowner paying $300/mo to SCE today would pay over $225,000 to Edison vs. ~$89,000 with solar. Same electricity. Half the cost.
