Account for billing periods, usage tiers and credit rollover when comparing the customer’s bill before and after solar.
Model time-of-use charges and hourly export credits to show how system design changes the economics.
Compare scenarios with and without storage to explain the battery’s contribution to projected savings.
Keep roof design, energy modeling and proposal creation in one workflow.
Enter the address to view roof imagery and available property data. Confirm the utility and rate details before building your estimate.

Yes. For supported SCE projects, you can compare solar-only and solar-plus-battery scenarios using hourly modeling and NEM 3.0 export credits. Results depend on the selected equipment, operating mode, usage and rate assumptions.
Cali-Graf’s billing engine has been tested against actual LADWP and SCE customer bills. View the validation results and methodology for the tested cases. Future bill and savings estimates also depend on usage, production and rate assumptions.
Roof imagery and available 3D and shade data come from Google Solar. Weather inputs use the National Solar Radiation Database, and equipment references use California Energy Commission listings. Data availability varies by property — see Data sources.
Yes. Generated PDFs include your company information and contractor license alongside the roof layout, financial summary, payment schedule and disclosures.
No. Cali-Graf supports preliminary design, financial modeling and customer proposals. It does not generate permit plan sets. Final designs and code requirements must be reviewed for the project.
