Anaheim Solar Bill Discount: Could Your Household Receive $20 a Month?

What the discount does

Anaheim's Community Solar Discount Program gives eligible income-qualified electric customers a $20 monthly bill credit. The benefit comes from utility-owned solar facilities. Participation is subject to available funding.

Who should check

The program accepts residential electric customers or qualifying sub-metered master-meter customers. Income must meet the limit based on 80% of Orange County median income. Use the current household-size table linked below, rather than an old dollar threshold.

How long it lasts

Participation is up to 12 months. Customers are removed afterward and may reapply 18 months from their initial participation date; first-time participants have priority. Confirm the dates that apply to your own account.

A practical example

At $20 a month, a full 12-month participation period would total $240 in credits. That arithmetic is an illustration, not a promise of enrollment. For a renter or household unable to install panels, it is a different type of solar benefit to investigate before considering a major purchase.

How to apply

Anaheim's official page provides an online application route and English and Spanish paper forms. Read the required documentation, contact the utility with account questions and retain your submission confirmation. You do not need a salesperson to identify the utility's application instructions.

What to compare

Treat this as a bill-credit program in your household budget. Keep it separate from any battery installation rebate, roof quote or financing agreement. Ask whether any other discount you receive affects this program, and confirm the answer with Anaheim.
