About FMG West Electric
Who is FMG West Electric, and why should you use us?
FMG West Electric is a local San Diego small business led by a father, veteran, and hands-on electrical contractor. We understand that homeowners are not just shopping for equipment; they are trying to make sense of high bills, protect their home, and make a decision that affects their family. FMG is built around practical field experience, family-level accountability, and straight answers for homeowners who need solar, batteries, EV charging, backup power, or service work reviewed by electricians first.
Electricians First
Every project starts with the electrical reality of the home: service equipment, panels, loads, roof readiness, solar production, battery location, EV charging, backup expectations, and code review items.
Small Business Accountability
You are not handed to a sales machine. FMG keeps recommendations practical, reviewed, and tied to the homeowner's actual bill, equipment, home usage, and long-term service needs.
No Empty Promises
FMG can educate, troubleshoot, and prepare options, but final scope, pricing, financing language, permit decisions, savings summaries, and scheduling require FMG review before anything is treated as final.

Batteries are not just backup anymore.
For many San Diego homes, the battery is becoming the control point between solar production, evening usage, EV charging, and outage goals. Backup still matters, but a strong battery plan also asks when the home uses power, when stored solar may be more useful than exporting it, and which loads should be supported.
As battery options, utility rates, export credits, and household loads change, FMG reviews the bill, rate plan, solar production, panel capacity, battery location, and backup-load goals before recommending storage.
Bill Strategy
Store solar for later use, reduce evening grid imports when appropriate, and review whether battery settings match the customer's rate plan and daily usage.
Backup Planning
Separate critical-load backup from whole-home backup, then review realistic outage goals, equipment limits, and load-control needs before promising capability.
EV And Load Growth
Plan batteries alongside EV charging, panel capacity, heat-pump loads, smart panels, and future expansion so the home energy system works together.
Existing Solar Upgrades
For homes that already have solar, review monitoring, production, inverter compatibility, roof layout, and bill history before adding storage.
Battery savings, backup duration, incentive eligibility, and utility outcomes are not guaranteed. Final recommendations require current-source review and FMG West Electric approval.

Why San Diego Homeowners Should Review Solar Before 2027
San Diego energy costs and solar rules are changing fast. Under current IRS guidance, the former 30% federal homeowner solar tax credit is not available for homeowner-owned solar or battery property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Local programs, battery storage, and proper electrical design matter more as homeowners review options before 2027.
Check My Solar & Battery Options- Review solar and battery options before incentive programs, utility rates, and program rules change again.
- Check California battery programs such as SGIP; eligibility, funding, and application rules vary.
- Review San Diego Community Power Solar Battery Savings for eligible customers, including battery dispatch and self-consumption requirements.
- Treat batteries as a bill-strategy, backup, EV-support, and load-control tool, not only an emergency power add-on.
- Work with licensed electricians who understand panels, service equipment, backup power, code requirements, and actual home usage.
Incentives, rebates, utility rates, property-tax exclusions, and eligibility rules can change. FMG West Electric can help review available programs, but final eligibility is determined by the utility, program administrator, county assessor, applicable tax rules, and customer facts. This is not a quote, proposal, contract, tax advice, or savings guarantee. Last reviewed June 4, 2026.

FAQ
Common Solar Bill Rescue questions.
Why do I still have an SDG&E bill if I have solar?
Your system may not produce enough, your usage may happen at the wrong time, exports may not offset imports equally, equipment may be underperforming, or your rate plan may not fit your home.
Does every homeowner need a battery?
No. A battery can help with stored solar use, evening load shifting, backup planning, EV support, or future load control, but some homes need troubleshooting, monitoring repair, rate review, panel work, or system expansion review first.
Can this website analyze my real bill?
No. The public website does not accept bill uploads. Contact FMG West Electric directly to discuss which customer-safe documents or photos may be useful for review.
Do you guarantee savings or financing approval?
No. Utility savings, project outcomes, and financing approval are not guaranteed. Any final recommendation, pricing, or terms require review.
How do you keep tax credits, rebates, and utility rules current?
Incentive, rebate, tax, financing, SDG&E, CCA, and utility-program details can change. FMG reviews current official sources before using those details in customer-facing recommendations, emails, or proposals.
