Frequently Asked Questions
What are the qualification requirements?
You must own your home and you must be a Pomona Choice Energy customer. There are no other qualifications (no FICO score review, etc). If you rent, please have your landlord reach out to Marco@Participate.Energy for our Renters Program. If you live within Pomona Choice Energy jurisdiction, but are not currently a Pomona Choice Energy customer, please call Pomona Choice Energy to enroll at (909) 620-2079.
How do I sign up?
You must be an existing Pomona Choice Energy customer to qualify. Go to CaliforniaChoiceEnergyAuthority.com/PCE-Power-Choice/ and be sure to have your electric bill ready:
- Enter home address and average electric bill monthly cost
- Choose “Solar Panels + Powerwall” and click “Next”
- Under Power Choice Program, check the “Participate in Program” box
- Click the “Continue to Order” button
- You will now enter your personal information to set up a Tesla account
- After uploading your electric bill, you will be contacted by a Project Advisor
How do I know if I am a Pomona Choice Energy customer?
You will have two sets of charges on your monthly SCE bill. Delivery charges are presented from SCE and represent transmission and delivery services. Generation charges are presented from Pomona Choice Energy and represent energy supply purchased from Pomona Choice Energy on your behalf. If you aren’t sure, please contact Pomona Choice Energy representative at CustomerService@PomonaChoiceEnergy.org.
Where can I find a copy of my billing statement?
If you have set up an online SCE account, you should have the ability to see your billing statements. If you are a Pomona Choice Energy customer, and need assistance finding a recent billing statement, please contact Pomona Choice Energy representative at CustomerService@PomonaChoiceEnergy.org.
Am I locked in a contract?
Yes. When you enroll in the Power Choice program you agree to buy the power produced and energy services provided by the system on a fixed long-term basis locking in energy savings over time. Separately, you will agree to allow Tesla to install and service the system.
Can I opt out of the program at any time?
Yes, but if you opt out of the program after the solar + battery has been installed, you will need to buyout the system at a fair market value.
How long does it take to install the system?
The installation time (construction crew at your house) is about 1 week, but the total timeline from order to install is about 3-4 months. This includes time to receive all the relevant customer information, design and permit the system, submit for interconnection from the utility and prepare for construction. After the system is installed, it normally takes 2-6 weeks to receive permission-to-operate where the system can freely operate and export extra electricity (not consumed or stored on site) back to the utility.
What happens if I sell my home?
When you sell your house the contract transfers to the new home buyer without any additional credit score (FICO) review or customer underwriting of any kind. Additionally, if the future owner wants to own the system themselves, they may buyout the system at “fair market value.”
What happens if I rent out my home to tenants?
With our Renters Program, with landlord and tenant approval, the landlord will give permission to install and keep the system at the home and the tenant will sign up for electric service with Pomona Choice Energy and select the Power Choice tariff. If interested, please have your landlord email Marco@Participate.Energy.
What size is the system that will be installed on my home?
Your system will be custom designed by Tesla designers based on your annual electricity usage and available roof space. When you submit your initial order on the Tesla.com/energy website, you will approve an initial rough estimate, which will be further refined between you and Tesla.
Can I get a bigger system than the suggested size?
Tesla will work with you to design the appropriate system size. If you expect to increase your home electric loads (e.g. future EV purchase, new pool pump, new electric appliances, etc.), you can work with your Tesla Project Advisor who can submit a justification to the utility for a larger system. Generally, you only want to size your system to your total annual loads, so over sizing a system should be based on expected increase in future energy use.
