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.
SCE Has Raised Rates 13 Times Since 2020. Here's Your Way Out.
Desert climate means some of the highest residential electric bills in California. AC runs seven or more months per year - making solar ROI among the fastest in the nation.

The SCE Problem in Palm Desert
Coachella Valley homeowners face a double punch: extreme heat requiring constant AC plus SCE's tiered rate structure that charges dramatically more as usage climbs. A Palm Desert home in The Cove or Ironwood can easily hit $500-$600/mo in peak summer. Pool pumps, which run year-round in the desert, add another $50-$80/mo to the baseline.
Palm Desert summer temperatures reach 108°F+ - driving AC usage and SCE bills through the roof.
Why Solar Makes Sense in Palm Desert
Palm Desert sits in the heart of the Coachella Valley where summer temperatures routinely exceed 108°F for weeks at a stretch. Air conditioning isn't optional here - it runs from April through October, and sometimes November. The upside is that the same brutal sun that drives your cooling costs also makes Palm Desert one of the highest-producing solar markets in the entire country, with over 6,200 annual sun hours.
Solar Savings in Palm Desert: What the Numbers Show
Based on current SCE rates, Palm Desert home sizes, and real PPA terms from local installers.
| Detail | With SCE | With Solar PPA |
|---|---|---|
| Avg. monthly bill | $350-$550/mo | ~40-55% less |
| Rate per kWh | 35+ cents (rising) | Locked rate, 3.5% escalator |
| Typical system size | N/A | 10.0 kW |
| Annual sun hours | N/A | 6,200+ |
| Upfront cost | Ongoing bills forever | $0 down (PPA) |
Estimates based on typical Palm Desert home size (10.0 kW system), current SCE rates, and standard PPA terms. Your actual savings depend on usage, roof, and system size.
Your Savings Scenario in Palm Desert
A Palm Desert homeowner in Ironwood paying $450/mo to SCE would pay approximately $220/mo with solar - saving $230/mo from day one. Over 25 years, that's $69,000 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.
