Pricing
Starter Solar
Most Pacifico Solar&Electric residential systems in Northern California qualify for $0-down financing, with typical monthly payments between $120–$220 depending on system size and roof complexity. For a representative 6 kW system that offsets about 90% of a Bay Area home’s usage, the net cost after incentives often falls in the $15,000–$18,000 range. With current utility rates, that usually translates to $1,800–$2,300 in annual bill savings, so many homeowners see simple payback in 7–9 years and 15–20 years of additional low-cost, clean power.
Entry-level rooftop system
Value Solar
If you prefer to pay cash, a standard 7–8 kW system serving a typical Central Valley home might be $18,000–$22,000 before incentives, with the federal tax credit returning 30% of that on your taxes. After incentives, your effective net cost can be closer to $12,600–$15,400. With high summer cooling bills in the Central Valley and Sacramento region, we commonly see customers reduce their annual utility costs by 60–90%, creating lifetime savings in the $40,000–$70,000 range over 25 years.

Premium Solar
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and lease options through Pacifico Solar&Electric offer a way to go solar with no upfront cost and a simple fixed or gently escalating rate for every kilowatt-hour produced. In many Bay Area and Sacramento neighborhoods, the starting solar rate is 15–30% lower than current utility pricing, so you save from day one. While you don’t own the system under a traditional lease, you lock in predictable energy costs for 20–25 years, providing long-term protection against utility rate hikes and an immediate improvement in monthly cash flow.
