Costa Mesa solar & NEM 3.0.

Costa Mesa sits just inland of the Newport coast — mild, marine-influenced weather with warm afternoons. Homes range from Eastside bungalows and Mesa Verde ranches to newer condos near South Coast Metro.

• →SCE + NEM 3.0 Costa Mesa is on Southern California Edison (SCE). Under NEM 3.0 net-billing, export credits are low — so we design solar to self-consume and pair it with a battery for real savings.
• →Battery-ready by default Every Costa Mesa system is engineered for a Tesla Powerwall or Enphase battery so you store midday solar and avoid expensive evening peak rates.
• →HOA & roof-aware All-black, low-profile panels and proper flashing that satisfy Costa Mesa’s architectural standards.
• →Permitting + interconnection City of Costa Mesa Building & Safety — HUS prepares the full submittal and the SCE interconnection application.
