Google Solar API
Your roof, mapped
Why this calculator is different

Built on Google's satellite data — not back-of-the-envelope math.

Most "solar savings calculators" use generic averages. Ours uses Google's Solar API — the same satellite imagery and 3D modeling Google built to map every roof in America.

  • Real solar potential, calculated from your roof's exact angle, orientation, and shading
  • Your actual PG&E rate, not a national average
  • Accurate to within ~10% of post-installation actual savings
What you'll see

Three things you won't get from a sales call.

This isn't a pitch deck. It's a real, address-specific calculation — the kind of analysis homeowners normally pay $400 for.

Your monthly savings, in dollars
Exactly how much your monthly bill drops — and what that number looks like over the next 25 years.
Your roof's actual solar potential
Pulled from Google's Solar API. We see your roof's orientation, shading, and usable area before you ever talk to anyone.
Your honest payback period
When your system pays for itself, factoring in the 30% federal tax credit. If solar isn't right for your home, the calculator tells you that too — about 1 in 5 homeowners aren't a good fit.
What Santa Barbara Homeowners Are Saying

Real neighbors. Real savings.

Most of them weren't sure solar made sense for their home — until they ran the numbers.

"I was skeptical until Pat sat down and showed me exactly what PG&E was charging me. Eight months in, our bill dropped from $312 to $6.50. I wish we'd done this three years ago."

"Our neighbor kept telling us about it. I'm kicking myself for waiting. The 30% tax credit brought our payback under 6 years — that math is hard to argue with."

Why now matters

PG&E rates have climbed nearly 50% since 2019.

Pacific Gas & Electric has raised residential rates every year for the past six years — and the California PUC has already approved further increases for 2026 and beyond.

Santa Barbara homeowners who went solar years ago locked in their energy cost. They watch neighbors pay more each month while their own bills stay near zero.

Illustrative figures based on PG&E historical rate data and average Santa Barbara County household usage. Actual savings depend on roof orientation, shading, usage patterns, financing, and local permit costs — which is exactly why the calculator runs the math on your specific home rather than quoting averages.

How it works

Three steps to a near-zero PG&E bill.

1
Run the calculator
Enter your bill and address. We pull real solar data for your exact roof via Google's Solar API and show you your numbers.
2
Talk to a local advisor
A Sparky Solar specialist — not a national call center — walks through your numbers on a free 30-minute call. We'll cover implementation concerns, the process, and whether solar is genuinely right for your home.
3
Go solar, stress-free
If solar's right for you, we handle permits, PG&E interconnection, installation, and your 30% federal ITC paperwork. Most Santa Barbara systems are live within 6–8 weeks.
Bonus benefit

Your system also means your home
stays powered
when the grid goes down.

Solar with battery backup doesn't just eliminate your energy bill — it keeps your lights, refrigerator, and essentials running when the grid fails. Santa Barbara County saw over 40 grid outage events between 2019 and 2024. Battery storage means your home is never affected again.

Worst case
You spend two minutes and learn solar isn't the right fit for your home.
Best case
You find out you're sitting on six figures of avoidable energy payments.
Either way, you'll know.
