LADWP installs and owns the system, receives all generation, and pays the customer for rooftop use. Posted annual payments are $360–$900 for up to 20 years, depending on system size. This is not the same as owning solar that offsets household consumption, and the annual maximum is not promised to every participant.

Apply: Submit the online or paper application. LADWP evaluates eligibility, roof suitability and shading, then handles design, permits and installation for approved homes. Review the complete long-term agreement before enrolling.

Official details/application: Solar Rooftops ↗. Contact: 866-484-0433. The linked guidelines also describe an additional storage arrangement for qualifying configurations; do not treat that payment as automatic.
