Master metered or directly metered?
Every mobile home park in California falls into one of two categories, and knowing which one applies to you is the first step.
Master Metered Parks
If your park was built before January 1, 1997, there's a good chance the park owner holds a single utility meter and bills residents through internal submeters.
Learn more →Directly Metered Parks
If your park was built on or after January 1, 1997, your home almost certainly has its own utility account, and California law already gives you the right to install solar.
Learn more →Net metering and incentives
California's net metering rules changed materially in 2023, and any savings figures you see, from us or anyone else, should reflect the current structure rather than outdated, pre-2023 economics. The numbers on this site are current. Ask us directly for the specifics of your exact situation.
Solar rights and protections
The 1978 Solar Rights Act protects the general right to install and operate solar in California. Senate Bill 1190, passed in the 2023–2024 session, adds specific protection for mobile home residents in directly metered parks, prohibiting park management from blocking installation or imposing unfair restrictions.
Solnr's first phase of California coverage
Focused on the counties with the highest concentration of manufactured and mobile homes.
Riverside County
Riverside County has more manufactured and mobile homes than any other county in California, and the desert climate that defines much of it makes solar savings matter more here than almost anywhere else in the state.
Learn more →Los Angeles County
Los Angeles County has the second highest concentration of manufactured and mobile homes in California, spread across two very different climates: the coastal and inland LA Basin, and the high desert of the Antelope Valley.
Learn more →San Diego County
San Diego County has one of the largest manufactured and mobile home populations in California, concentrated across the San Diego metro area and North County.
Learn more →San Bernardino County
San Bernardino County spans two very different climates, the Inland Empire and the High Desert, and manufactured home communities are spread across both. Hot summers are the constant, whether you are closer to the valley floor or out toward the desert communities.
Learn more →Orange County
Orange County has one of the highest concentrations of manufactured and mobile homes in Southern California, and some of the highest property and living costs in the state to go along with it. For homeowners here, a lower, predictable power bill is one of the few costs that can actually be brought down.

Do I need good credit to get solar in California?
No. Solnr doesn't run a credit check at any point, regardless of which county or park type you're in.
What's the difference between master metered and directly metered parks?
In a master metered park, the park owner holds one utility meter and bills residents through submeters. In a directly metered park, each home has its own utility account. Which one applies to you determines how your installation works.
Does California law protect my right to install solar?
Yes. The 1978 Solar Rights Act protects the general right to install solar in California, and Senate Bill 1190 specifically protects mobile home residents in directly metered parks from being blocked or unfairly restricted by park management.
What if my park is master metered?
That is exactly the situation Solnr specializes in. Contact us to discuss how we can serve you.
Which counties do you serve?
Solnr's first phase of California coverage focuses on Riverside, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Orange counties, the five counties with the highest concentration of manufactured housing in the state. We're expanding beyond these counties, so contact us and we'll tell you whether we can already serve your park.
