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.
A historic citrus town, Redlands has many older homes with outdated HVAC systems that drive up electric costs. Solar modernizes these homes while slashing their SCE bills.

The SCE Problem in Redlands
Older Redlands homes in the historic district often lack modern insulation, and replacing HVAC systems in these craftsman-style houses is expensive. The result: AC works overtime to cool inefficient structures during 99°F+ summers. Homeowners in Crafton Hills and Mentone on the eastern edge get additional radiant heat from the sun-baked hillsides.
Redlands summer temperatures reach 99°F+ - driving AC usage and SCE bills through the roof.
Why Solar Makes Sense in Redlands
Redlands blends historic charm with inland heat. The Smiley Heights and University District neighborhoods feature beautiful older homes - many built in the early 1900s during the citrus boom - that were never designed for modern energy efficiency. These homes have character, but their single-pane windows and aging HVAC systems drive electric bills that surprise even longtime residents.
Solar Savings in Redlands: What the Numbers Show
Based on current SCE rates, Redlands home sizes, and real PPA terms from local installers.
| Detail | With SCE | With Solar PPA |
|---|---|---|
| Avg. monthly bill | $255-$390/mo | ~40-55% less |
| Rate per kWh | 35+ cents (rising) | Locked rate, 3.5% escalator |
| Typical system size | N/A | 8.0 kW |
| Annual sun hours | N/A | 5,750+ |
| Upfront cost | Ongoing bills forever | $0 down (PPA) |
Estimates based on typical Redlands home size (8.0 kW system), current SCE rates, and standard PPA terms. Your actual savings depend on usage, roof, and system size.
Your Savings Scenario in Redlands
A Redlands homeowner in Smiley Heights paying $320/mo to SCE would pay approximately $165/mo with solar - saving $155/mo from day one. Over 25 years, that's $46,500 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.
