Peggy —
hello.
When Daniel came by, your honest question was whether solar actually pays off over the long run — or whether it just looks good up front. That's exactly what this page lays out: the real numbers for your roof and your usage, so you can see the long-run math for yourself.
This is a letter from EXO Energy. You expressed interest in seeing what cheaper power would look like at your home. What follows is not a quote or proposal, but rather a quick analysis on your current and future situation with Edison, how data centers are affecting rates, and an outlook of our company and what we can offer. This was made personally for you. We hope it builds enough knowledge and awareness to earn a consultation to discuss solutions. The read should only take 5 minutes. Enjoy.
- No down payment EXO Energy + GoodLeap cover the cost of the system.
- No loan You're not signing debt — you're paying for the electricity your roof produces.
- No lien on the house The agreement doesn't attach to the title of your property.
- No impact on your credit It doesn't show up as a financial obligation in your name.
Two decades in California. 44,500 panels and counting.
Your rates are climbing.

California regulators approved a $1.685B SCE rate increase in December 2025 — the third in three years.
Rates have gone up across every California utility over the last five years. SCE points to wildfire prevention, grid upgrades, and replacing aging equipment as the main reasons.

Lake Tahoe — 49,000 California homeowners lose three-quarters of their grid supply to AI data centers, by May 2027.

Lake Tahoe is the extreme case. But industrial mega-loads outbidding residential customers for grid capacity is now showing up in rate-planning across every California IOU.
Solar isn't just about savings. It's about taking control of your power.
SCE surprises. Ours doesn't.

Before and after · 2611 Johnson Avenue, La Habra · current satellite + visualization of panels on your roof · this is a rough rendering and may look a little off — the actual layout gets designed at your consult.
Solar by day. Battery by night.
Your panels run the house during sunlight hours and store the surplus in your Tesla Powerwall 3. After sundown, the Powerwall takes over — the lights, the AC, the fridge, all running off the energy you produced earlier that day.
When SCE drops — and OC's coastal fog and inland Santa Ana wind cycles drive most outage events — a battery means the AC, refrigerator, and Wi-Fi don't blink during them. — the system goes into backup mode automatically. Your house stays lit while the neighborhood is dark — the fridge stays cold, the AC stays on, no scramble.

Four things, locked at signature.
The PPA is straightforward. GoodLeap owns the system on your roof. You pay for the power it produces at a rate locked when you sign.
$0 down.
GoodLeap owns the equipment. No upfront cost, no loan, no lien on the house. You pay for the power the system produces — that's it.
25-year full-system warranty.
Panels, inverters, monitoring, parts, and labor — all covered for the full agreement term. If a component fails, the replacement and the install labor are on GoodLeap and EXO Energy. Production is guaranteed; shortfalls are compensated.
10-year roof penetration warranty.
If a mount develops a leak, the repair comes back to us — we fix the roof, not just the panel.
Transfer-at-sale, no fee.
The agreement is tied to the house, not to you. If it changes hands, whoever owns it next picks up where you left off. No buyout, no payoff, no penalty.
Over 100 reviews. 4.3 stars.
From the first walkthrough with our consultant to the panels turning on, every step was on time. Four weeks total. The install crew was respectful of the property and cleaned up better than they found it. No SCE bill since.
Was hesitant after talking to three other solar companies who all overpromised. EXO Energy was the only one who walked through what wouldn't work, not just what would. That honesty closed the deal. Install was two days, no surprises.
EXO Energy handled the city permits, the SCE interconnection, and the HOA paperwork. We didn't have to chase anything down. Two months from signing to system-on, and the production matches what the consultant told us it would.
Our consultant was patient with every question, even the ones we asked twice. The EXO Energy crew installed on a Saturday so we wouldn't lose a workday. First full billing cycle: $14 credit from SCE instead of the usual $340 bill.
A quick 15-minute call with Atreyu.
Atreyu walks through the specific numbers for your roof and answers any questions. If after the call it makes sense to keep going, we coordinate an in-person visit — your house, you, Atreyu, and the terms on your table.
Four things have to line up.
- Your roof — structure, condition, sun exposure
- Your electrical — panel capacity and grounding
- Your usage — last 12 months of SCE bills
- Your credit — 620 or higher (yours or your spouse's)
