Solar Became California’s #1 Power Source in April 2025

Statewide electricity generation data for the 12 months ending April 2025 confirms a historic milestone: solar energy outpaced natural gas, delivering 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) compared to gas’s 81.6 TWh—making solar the “largest single contributor” with 33.9% of total power, slightly above gas at 33.3%.

But this remarkable achievement masks emerging risks—expiring incentives, NEM policy shifts, and mounting grid pressure are converging to redefine the economics of residential solar. And the best way to lock in benefits? US Power—your locally rooted partner—can make it happen smoothly and promptly.

The Renewable Boom… and Why It Matters

In April 2025 alone, renewables met up to 158% of California’s peak power demand, aided by over 15.7 GW of battery storage, which helps shift solar energy into evening hours. Nationally, solar achieved 10.6% of U.S. electricity in April, while California contributed nearly 42% of its power from solar at peak. This surge is crucial—but without urgent homeowner action, it won’t last.

Policy Alert: Biggest Solar Incentive Vanishes December 31, 2025

The 30% Federal Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit expires at the end of this year. That’s thousands of dollars in savings—gone for good.

Afterward:

• Solar system costs rise significantly
• Homeowner ROI slows by 2 to 4 years
• California’s clean energy momentum falters

US Power can lock in this credit for you today—before the deadline.

California’s Future—Heading for Trouble Without Action

1. Rising Utility Rates - As fewer homes adopt solar, the burden of infrastructure costs returns to non-solar customers—driving bills up for everyone.
2. Grid Instability - Declining solar + storage rollout increases the risk of blackouts during summer heatwaves.
3. Climate Targets at Risk - California must hit 100% clean energy by 2045—losing solar momentum undermines that commitment.
4. Massive Job Losses - The solar industry supports ~80,000 jobs statewide—an installation slump risks devastating layoffs

Policy Shift: LADWP Offers Short-Term Relief

While investor-owned utilities (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) moved to NEM 3.0—cutting export credits by ~75%—LADWP remains under NEM 2.0, granting full retail credit for solar power sent to the grid—and those credits never expire. That makes being on LADWP your best defense—but this favorable treatment may not last forever. You need to act fast.

Why US Power Is the Only Smart Choice in Southern California

Here’s why every homeowner should choose US Power:

• Factory-direct solar + storage equipment—no middleman markups, better reliability
• Tailored system design that maximizes your savings and protects against policy shifts (like NEM 3.0)
• Deep LA roots and local support—we’ll be here for warranty service and performance checks
• Transparent pricing and warranties—no hidden fees, no surprises

When delays or policy changes happen, only a local company like US Power can deliver fast, clear, and lasting results.
