Electrical Services in San Diego, CA

San Diego, CA electricians work on craftsman bungalows in North Park and Kensington, hillside homes in La Jolla and Mt. Soledad, and a heavy EV charger volume tied to SDG&E. Common jobs: 200A panel upgrades (often with meter relocation), Level 2 EV chargers, solar/battery integration, and ADU sub-panels. Brands stocked: Square D QO, Eaton, Tesla Wall Connector, Enphase, SolarEdge.

SDG&E is the utility — among the highest residential rates in CA, which drives strong solar+battery adoption. CA requires a C-10 license. San Diego's NEM 3.0 economics push nearly all new solar to pair with batteries (Powerwall, Enphase IQ, Franklin).

Frequently Asked Questions

Permit for an EV charger?
Yes — San Diego Development Services requires a permit for new 240V circuits. Online plan submittal is standard for straightforward installs.
NEM 3.0 — does solar still pay off?
Without a battery, payback stretched to 10–15+ years. With a battery, you self-consume during peak (4–9pm) and avoid the steep TOU rates — typical payback 6–9 years.
ADU sub-panel — separate SDG&E meter?
Often not required if the existing service has capacity (Title 24 load calc). Sub-feeding from main saves meter fees; SDG&E meter splits add $3,000–$8,000.
Powerwall — how many for a typical SD home?
Most homes do 1–2 Powerwalls (13.5 kWh each) for whole-home backup with managed loads. Add a third if you want unmanaged AC + EV charging during outages.
