The unsolicited proposal from Elon Musk’s tunnel-building venture arrived in January 2020. To the local transportation authority, it felt like finding Willy Wonka’s golden ticket.

Officials had started planning for a street-level rail connection between booming Ontario International Airport and a commuter train station 4 miles away, with an estimated cost north of $1 billion. For just $45 million, Mr. Musk’s Boring Co. offered to instead build an underground tunnel through which travelers could zip back and forth in autonomous electric vehicles.

Dazzled by Boring’s boasts that it had revolutionized tunneling, and the cachet of working with the billionaire head of EV maker Tesla Inc., red down pointing triangle the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority dumped plans for a traditional light rail and embraced the futuristic tunnel.

When it came time to formalize the partnership and get to work, Boring itself went underground—just as it has done in Maryland, Chicago and Los Angeles. Boring didn’t submit a bid for Ontario by the January 2022 deadline.

The six-year-old company has repeatedly teased cities with a pledge to “solve soul-destroying traffic,” only to pull out when confronted with the realities of building public infrastructure, according to former executives and local, state and federal government officials who have worked with Mr. Musk’s Boring. The company has struggled with common bureaucratic hurdles like securing permits and conducting environmental reviews, the people said.

“Every time I see him on TV with a new project, or whatever, I’m like: Oh, I remember that bullet train to Chicago O’Hare,” said Chicago Alderman Scott Waguespack. Boring had backed away from its proposal for a high-speed tunnel link to the airport there.

Mr. Musk and Steve Davis, president of Boring, didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Boring’s only tunnel open to the public is a 1.6-mile “loop experience” under the Las Vegas Convention Center. There, Teslas with hired drivers ferry convention-goers through neon-lit white tunnels at speeds of about 30 miles an hour.

Boring has yet to make good on its most ambitious pitch: that it can design tunnel-boring machines that are so fast to operate that they will drive down costs and shake up the industry. Tunneling industry veterans question some of Mr. Musk’s claims.

The company has believers. This spring, tech-focused venture-capital firms Sequoia Capital and Vy Capital led a $675 million fundraising round that valued Boring at $5.7 billion. Major real-estate firms including Brookfield, Lennar and Tishman Speyer are among the investors.

“Their technology is now past the state-of-the-art, and improving at an exponential rate,” Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire wrote in a post on the firm’s website, announcing the round.

Mr. Maguire declined to comment and the other investors didn’t respond to detailed requests for comment.

Mr. Musk has frequently criticized government regulation, calling it an impediment to building new infrastructure. At a WSJ CEO Council event in 2020, he said he had moved from California to Texas, where Tesla was building a new factory, in part because of government regulations. Government should “just get out of the way,” he said.

The Boring Co., based in Pflugerville, Texas, occupies an odd place in Mr. Musk’s business empire, which includes Tesla, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, and most recently Twitter Inc. He launched the tunneling venture with a tweet in December 2016 that many took as a joke. “Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging…” Mr. Musk wrote.

“I am actually going to do this,” he added in a second tweet.

At Boring’s helm is Mr. Davis, a longtime lieutenant to Mr. Musk who came from SpaceX. Some of the space contractor’s investors have complained about Boring soaking up SpaceX’s resources, including employees and equipment purchased with SpaceX funds.

Mr. Musk’s leadership style—he recently told his Twitter employees they must be “extremely hardcore” or resign—pervades Boring, too, several former senior executives said. Boring employees work long hours and weekends, and the company has struggled to retain employees, particularly in technical positions such as engineering, they said.

For years, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority had sought a solution to an enviable problem: Freight-focused Ontario International was steadily gaining passengers. Airport officials decided a link to a nearby commuter rail station would help it grow even more.

The authority issued a request for proposals for a light rail line, estimated to cost between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, when Boring’s pitch showed up.

The authority struck a preliminary deal with Boring in February 2021 for a narrow-diameter tunnel filled with autonomous EVs for $45 million.

“When I went to the public and shared this, the enthusiasm was overwhelming, just for something new and different,” said Janice Rutherford, a county supervisor and transportation authority board member. “And it’s the Boring Company, so Elon Musk brings that kind of sexiness to it, if you will.”

Over time, the company and the transportation authority dropped references to autonomous vehicles. By late 2021, cost projections rose to almost $500 million, agency documents show.

The authority asked for a third-party environmental review, required by state law, of the Boring proposal’s impact, records show. That’s when the process came to a halt.

“We tried to reach agreement with them,” said Carrie Schindler, the authority’s deputy executive director. “We went through the standard request for proposal process. And ultimately at the end of that process, they decided not to propose.”

Boring had powerful boosters from the time Mr. Musk declared his war on traffic in late 2016. Trump administration officials counseled the billionaire on how to pursue his stated goal of building an underground Hyperloop from New York to Washington. The Hyperloop, a concept Mr. Musk revived based on a proposal from the 1970s, calls for moving passengers through vacuum tubes at around 700 miles an hour. Despite an influx of investor interest, no commercial system has ever been constructed.

Mr. Musk tweeted in July 2017 that he had “verbal govt approval” for Boring to begin building the Hyperloop. Besieged by calls from the media and government officials, White House staff helped come up with a follow-up tweet, according to former government officials. “Still a lot of work needed to receive formal approval, but am optimistic that will occur rapidly,” Mr. Musk later tweeted.

That fall, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was standing at a fenced-off site affixed with Boring signs near Fort Meade and telling a videographer to “get ready” for a high-speed train from Baltimore to Washington. Mr. Hogan declined to comment.

An aide to Mr. Hogan toured a parking-lot test site at the company’s then-headquarters near Los Angeles International Airport, getting a look at a tunnel-boring machine the company purchased secondhand. Boring named it Godot, the title character in Samuel Beckett’s play about a man who never shows up.

The Republican Hogan administration sped up the bureaucratic process for Boring, granting a conditional permit in October 2017 and an environmental permit a few months later.

All Boring had to do was bring its machine and start digging, former Maryland officials said. But months, and then years, passed. Maryland was waiting for Godot.

Boring deleted the Maryland project from its website last year.

The company also captured the attention of Chicago’s then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who wanted a high-speed rail link between O’Hare International Airport and the downtown business district.

In 2017, Mr. Musk proposed a Hyperloop-like solution, in which 16-passenger pods would be propelled through an underground tunnel on electric “skates” moving up to 125 miles an hour. Mr. Musk said he could do it for less than $1 billion, and that Boring would finance the job and keep the fare revenue for itself.

Mr. Emanuel’s Democratic administration selected Boring to develop the system. At a press conference with Mr. Musk, the mayor dismissed “doubters,” who he said also would have questioned other landmark projects, like the 1900 reversal of the flow of the Chicago River.

Mr. Waguespack, the alderman, and other elected officials challenged the cost estimates as absurdly low, warning that taxpayers would be on the hook if Boring couldn’t build as cheaply as it proposed. “It was a lot of flash and dash and not any kind of public discussion about whether it was even necessary or not,” Mr. Waguespack said.

Mr. Emanuel said in an interview that the company had promised to assume financial risk for building the proposed tunnel. The proposal didn’t go any further after Mr. Emanuel decided not to seek a third term.

Other Boring projects announced with fanfare, including a 3.6-mile underground high-speed transportation link from the Hollywood subway line to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, also have failed to materialize.

Some sites where Boring once courted public attention are now abandoned. The entrance to its first demonstration tunnel sits behind a chain-link fence in a lot near SpaceX’s headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif. In the California desert town of Adelanto, where city leaders once hailed the arrival of a Boring research operation, stacks of concrete lining segments sit alongside a short U-shaped section of tunnel partially blocked off with plywood amid rattlesnake warning signs.

For the past year, Boring has been directing potential clients to its work in Las Vegas as a showcase for what systems in their cities could look like.

“We’re fans of the Boring Company,” said Steve Hill, chief executive of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “We’re fans of clean transportation systems that are great. So we want to help.”

The convention authority paid Boring about $50 million to build two 0.8-mile single-direction tunnels connecting different wings of the sprawling convention center. It opened in the spring of 2021. This year, Boring completed a short offshoot between the facility and Resorts World casino and hotel.

The Clark County and Las Vegas city government councils have approved a 34-mile loop of tunnels that Boring will finance. Private casino and resort owners are being asked to pay for stations. The company plans to break ground soon on segments, Mr. Hill said.

Boring signed a 50-year contract to operate the Vegas loop and will collect revenue from ticket sales, sharing a small percentage with the city and county after crossing a quarterly revenue threshold.

To get a permit to begin operating the convention loop, Boring had to run a demonstration showing that it could move 4,400 passengers an hour.

Boring passed the test and received its permit, in a category called ATS, for Amusement and Transportation Systems—the same one that local officials award to roller coasters.

Crowds strain the network of individually driven cars far more than mass transit like light rail, according to some of the former executives. In social media postings, visitors have documented the loop’s Teslas sitting, underground, in traffic. The fleet of required accredited drivers adds to labor and administrative costs.

At the convention’s jam-packed auto products show this month, visitors queued in 10 lines in a subterranean station, waiting to hop into Teslas that drivers steered through a pair of tunnels just inches wider than the sedans themselves.

Boring employees directed attendees into cars. Mr. Davis, in a safety-orange sweatshirt, paced among them and talked to convention officials who later said he often manages operations on site. When approached by a reporter, he declined to comment.

Mr. Musk has lately tweeted videos of a Boring-designed machine, nicknamed Prufrock after the title character of the T.S. Eliot poem, digging test holes in the Texas dirt. Boring says Prufrock is designed to dig at one mile a week, and that a succeeding version will be able to dig 7 miles a day.

Boring says it can improve tunneling speeds with fully electrified machines and by digging continuously, rather than stopping to assemble sections of the tunnel wall. The company also says angling machines in from ground level will help avoid the cost of first digging a shaft to launch the machine.

Veterans of the tunneling industry note that tunnel-boring machines have been electrified for decades, and that neither continuous construction of the tunnel lining nor digging in from aboveground is new.

Boring’s speed claims are “totally unrealistic,” said Lok Home, president of the Robbins Co., a leading maker of tunnel-boring machines. “There’ll be improvements here, for sure, but there’s not going to be a revolution.”

Industry veterans said that in terms of cost, factors like property acquisition, permitting and engineering work, and the sheer complexity of digging through rock or soil matter far more than tunneling speed.

As for most of the tunneling Boring has done, in the desert soils of Las Vegas, Mr. Home said, “That’s about as easy as it gets.”

Public officials across the country remain eager to land Boring projects, and some are eyeing the roughly $1 trillion federal infrastructure law as a source of potential funding.

In Fort Lauderdale, Democratic Mayor Dean Trantalis is pointing to the availability of the funding as he tries to sell the public on a $100 million pair of Boring-built tunnels that would ferry beachgoers back and forth from downtown. Mr. Trantalis said that he was awe-struck by Boring’s Las Vegas project, which he toured last year.

North Miami Beach officials want to use federal infrastructure money to pay Boring for a tunnel project to reduce traffic.

On a lark, Vice Mayor Michael Joseph tweeted at Boring and Mr. Musk in February 2021. Company officials quickly expressed interest. “They just called me out of nowhere and said, ‘Hey, this is Boring,’” Mr. Joseph said. “I was very surprised they responded to my tweet.”

In Ontario, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority hasn’t abandoned its tunnel dream. The authority is seeking bids from other construction companies to build tunnels, and from operators to run electric vehicles inside.

Ms. Schindler credited Boring with introducing local officials to the possibility of subterranean transportation that might cost less than more conventional aboveground systems.

“While I’m disappointed we’re not in design at this point and headed towards construction, I’m grateful for the disruption that I think got us going in a really viable direction,” she said.

The authority said it would still welcome a bid from the Boring Co.

Benefits of Adding an ADU by Converting Your Garage

In places like Los Angeles, extra living space comes at very high price today. Building new extensions or moving bigger homes is costly. Many houses have unused garages just sitting empty. Converting the garage to a living space gives owners a usable flat at a fraction of the new construction costs. ADU conversion has many other money benefits also over years through rental income, property value rise etc. This article tells homeowners 5 major advantages of transforming their standalone garages into ADUs.

Extra Living Area Within Property

Converting Garages to living spaces adds substantial usable space for owners at a relatively low cost compared to building extensions or shifting homes. This bonus area, doubled up from the existing garage, can serve multiple purposes, from entertaining guests to comfortably hosting elderly parents or in-laws or simply expanding main house space for larger families or home office needs.

Increased Overall Property Worth

Research data reveals converting garages boosts total property valuation by 15-20% on average after becoming an ADU. This holds true even excluding the fact that properly designed ADUs can earn rental income for 30-40 years, adding to long-term wealth. Easy financing options like dipping into home equity or mortgage refinancing help fund initial garage conversion project costs to unlock this value upside.

Steady Rental Income Potential

Well-planned ADUs with amenities, storage etc. earn over 30% higher rental income relative to commercial studios per square feet. Compliant with LA regulations, these make profitable investment assets for homeowners over decades that keep providing inflation-adjusted rental earnings. Tenants also prefer such private units at usually lower rents than standalone commercial options.

Responsible Use of Existing Infrastructure

ADUs tap into available unused garages to create living spaces rather than building new illegal unofficial dwellings. They use existing plumbing, electrical and land optimally with a small managed footprint complying with area rules. This also prevents neighborhood alteration maintaining overall housing density. Converted ADUs thus enable graceful aging in place sustainably for growing families or downsizing seniors.

Cost-Saving Asset Creation

Full-fledged new construction projects cost $200+ per sq ft in Los Angeles currently. But converting existing standalone garages into ADUs only entails $100-150 per sq ft spent, including construction, designs, etc. While maximizing asset use from low-utility garages, homeowners save over 50% executing planned secondary dwellings. With better financing options like LA county grants, ADUs make affordable multi-generational family housing solutions.

Increases Flexible Accommodation

Extended families today prefer staying together in the same household for emotional or financial reasons. General Contractors Los Angeles builds ADUs above the garage or beside the main house using existing electrical and water facilities, allowing comfortable hosting grandparents/parents without fully relocating them.

Elders also feel less lonely or dependent in familiar neighbourhoods near loved ones through adjustable accommodating arrangements that are impossible in commercial senior homes. ADUs are designed specifically to factor in accessibility and safety aspects, thus flexibly facilitating dignified joint family living.

Conclusion

Converting garages boosts owners’ living quality and financial capacity multiple times by optimising existing unused structures to code. For customized ADU build and design expertise, sustainably maximising end benefits, rely on established Los Angeles specialist JC Home Builders leveraging decades of regional experience.

Get your property earning its true potential via compliant ADUs legally with proper permits - whether generating long-term rental income or simply expanding living quarters conveniently. Call JC Home Builders today for quotes on making garages multi-functional ADU spaces reflecting LA homeowner needs today.

Builder Contractor Los Angeles

Cost Breakdown: ADU Construction Expenses You Should Know About!

Expert ADU builders Los Angeles- enhance your property's value and enjoy modern living.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have been gaining popularity in recent years as a viable solution for addressing housing shortages and providing additional living space on residential properties. 

Whether you're considering building an ADU for personal use or as a rental investment, it's essential to understand the various construction expenses involved.

In this article, we will break down ADU Construction's five significant cost components to help you plan and budget effectively.

Design And Permitting Costs

The first expense you'll encounter when planning an ADU is the design and permitting costs. 

Creating a well-thought-out and functional ADU design requires the expertise of an architect or designer. 

They will work with you to understand your needs, assess the property's layout, and design an ADU that complies with local building codes and regulations. 

The design process can vary in complexity and cost depending on the size and specifications of the ADU.

Once the design is finalized, you'll need to obtain the necessary permits from your local municipality to commence construction legally. 

Permitting costs encompass fees for submitting building plans, inspections, zoning approvals, and other administrative expenses. 

These costs can vary significantly depending on your location and the specific requirements set by your city or county.

Construction Materials And Labor

The largest portion of your ADU construction budget will go toward materials and labor. Building an ADU involves the construction of an entirely new structure.

Labor costs are also significant, especially if you hire skilled builder contractor Los Angeles to ensure quality work.

To optimize costs, consider obtaining multiple quotes from contractors and suppliers to compare prices and quality. 

It's essential to balance affordability and use durable, energy-efficient materials that will reduce long-term maintenance expenses.

Utility Connections And Impact Fees

Connecting your ADU to the existing utility systems, such as water, sewage, and electricity, incurs additional expenses. 

These utility connection costs can vary based on location and proximity to existing infrastructure. 

For instance, if the distance between the main sewer line and your ADU is substantial, you may incur higher expenses for trenching and installing new pipes.

In some areas, you may also be required to pay impact fees imposed by local authorities to support the increased demand for community resources from new construction. Impact fees can apply to schools, parks, transportation, and other public amenities.

Landscaping and Exterior Amenities

A well-landscaped and aesthetically pleasing exterior can add value to your ADU and enhance its appeal. Landscaping costs include the installation of pathways, driveways, plants, trees, and lawns. 

Depending on your preferences, you may also wish to include outdoor amenities such as a patio, deck, or garden.

While landscaping may not be a mandatory expense, investing in it can significantly improve the overall desirability of your ADU, potentially attracting better tenants or increasing its resale value.

Conclusion

Building an ADU can be rewarding, but it requires careful financial planning to ensure a successful outcome. 

By understanding the key cost breakdown of ADU construction, including design and permitting, materials and labor, utility connections and impact fees, landscaping, and a contingency budget, you can prepare yourself for the expenses involved and make informed decisions.

If you want to maximize your property's value and create additional living space, partnering with ADU construction companies is the key to unlocking its full potential.

At JC Builders Inc, we understand the importance of finding the right ADU construction company to bring your vision to life. 

Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing top-notch services, from initial design consultations to the final touches of construction.

C. W. Sparks Contractor 1925 (photo taken by me in May of this year).

Sparks was a director of The California-Arizona Construction Co. of Los Angeles, CA, which incorporated with a capital stock of $160,000. “The company is being formed to engage in a general engineering-contracting business in Southern California and Arizona, expecting to operate in all classes of street and highway paving, sewer construction, etc. When organized the new company will take over the business and probably the plants and equipment of the Barber Asphalt Paving Co. in this territory, the latter to retire from construction work on the Pacific Coast.” Apparently, Sparks and some of his co-directors had “for some time been connected with the Barber company.” (Southwest Contractor, May 29, 1914, pgs. 8-9).

Sad to say C. W. Sparks and Maida Dorothy Sparks were foreclosed upon by Hulda Franciska Schmidt in November of 1918. The L.A. County Sheriff was selling “Lot seventy-one of Tract number 2140 (commonly known as The McCarthy Company’s West Ninth Street Heights) as per map recorded in book 21, page 185 of maps in the office of the county recorder of [Los Angeles] county]. Together with the tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances thereunto belonging or in anywise appertaining.”

(Southwest Builder and Contractor, Volume 52, F.W. Dodge Company, 1918).

In 1921, Sparks received “a truck load of 480 feet of 18-inch and 60 feet of 24-inch Armco ingot iron pipe” for Los Angeles County road near Puenti, twenty miles from Los Angeles (“Shipping Culverts by Truck.” The Highway Magazine, April, 1921, Vol. XII, No. 3, Armco Culvert & Flume Manufacturers’ Association, 1921).

In 1922, Sparks worked out of the San Fernando Building (#433), which is at 400-410 S. Main Street in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles. From there, he “submitted a low bid for the installation of an ornamental lighting system on Sixth Street between Pacific Avenue and Gaffey Street, San Pedro district, and will receive the contract for the work.” He also bid but lost “the contract for the installation of an ornamental street-lighting system on certain streets at La Jolla, near San Diego, Cal.” (Electrical Records and Buyer’s Reference, Volume 33, Buyers’ Reference Company, 1922).

In 1926, Sparks was located in one listing at 142 N. Commonwealth Ave. (today in Rampart Village neighborhood of Los Angeles). He submitted the low bid for improving Prospect Ave. between Talmadge St. and Vermont Ave., including grading, concrete paving,  “remodfi. with rock and oil, ...unplas. light curb, ...course sec. walk,” gutter, storm drain, and sewers. Higher bidders included some I’ve written about before, including Oswald, McCray, Curtis, Griffith, Shafer, and Spencer & Holt (Building and Engineering News, Volume 26, Issue 1, 1926). In another listing the same year, Sparks was located at 1033 W. 32nd St. (right near USC) and submitted the low bid to the Board of Public Works for improving Argosy Way between Tuxedo Terrace and Canyon Dr., involving grading, concrete pavement, curb, special curb, unplastered curb, walk, stairway, sanitary sewer, and “hse. conn.”

Appellants, city and chief of the electrical division of the Department of Building and Safety. Appellants, city and chief of the electrical division of the Department of Building and Safety, challenged a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County (California), which granted appellee electrician's request for an injunction against the enforcement of a city ordinance requiring state-licensed electrical contractors to pay a fee and post a bond before receiving permits to do electrical contracting work within the city.The electrician filed an action for an injunction against the enforcement of a city ordinance requiring state-licensed electrical contractors to pay a fee and post a bond before receiving permits to do electrical contracting work within the city. lawyers that handle class action  read the action filed by the electrician. The court affirmed the grant of the injunction, holding that the ordinance regulations requiring payment of a so-called "permit service fee" and the posting of a bond, were clearly objectionable as an attempt to legislate upon a subject intended to be fully covered by an act of the legislature.The court affirmed the grant of the injunction in the electrician's action to enjoin enforcement of the ordinance.Petitioner attorney sought review, in a proceeding in certiorari, to review an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County (California), which adjudged the attorney guilty of contempt of court and sentenced him to serve "five 24-hour days" in the county jail.As grounds for annulment the attorney argued that there was no contempt. Alternatively, the attorney asserted that if any contempt occurred it was indirect, meaning that it was not committed in the immediate view and presence of the court. The attorney contended that indirect contempt could be punished only after affidavit, notice, and hearing, as provided for in Cal. Civ. Proc. Code §§ 1211, 1212, and 1217. The court determined that the attorney's failure to be present in the trial court at the announced hour for resumption of the trial in which he was engaged, thus interrupting the trial and interfering with the court proceedings, constituted contempt of court. As the attorney himself stated, and as the trial court found, he had no valid excuse. The court found that the attorney's failure in performance of duty on his part, coupled with ability to perform, warranted the finding of contempt. The court held that the attorney's conduct constituted a direct contempt. The court found that the trial court's judgment was appropriate.The court affirmed the judgment finding the attorney guilty of contempt of court and sentencing him to serve "five 24-hour days" in the county jail.

Everything You Need to Know About California's New Solar Construction Mandate | {CalSolarInc}

California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed legislation that mandates all new homes have solar photovoltaic systems built into their roofs. This law, however, only applies to single-family homes and apartments built after January 1, 2020, so there's still time to plan around it if you're building or selling houses in the Golden State. Here's everything you need to know about California's new solar construction mandate and what it means for homeowners and real estate professionals.

The California new construction solar mandate, which will be enforced by 2020, is not a hard and fast rule. It only applies to new construction homes on sites where the zoning allows for solar power systems. Local agencies can request an exemption if they believe that it doesn't comply with their local ordinances or due to high costs. A few communities have already been granted exemptions, including Glendale and Burbank in Los Angeles County. There are some concerns about the solar requirement as it relates to air quality because of how electricity may shift from natural gas to coal plants; but as of now, there isn’t enough evidence linking this change in energy sources with any adverse health effects. 

California new construction solar mandate in the state must include solar panels on their rooftops or carports by 2020. There are, however, a few exceptions: 

1) projects that exceed 2,000 square feet and cost more than $2 million 

2) buildings with plans for net-zero energy production 

3) other homes that do not have space or inclination for installation. With these rules in place, developers will now be able to factor the savings from lower electric bills into the project’s financial return on investment.

The California Energy Commission estimates that it will save consumers around $5 billion annually from reduced electricity rates. The California new construction solar mandate is expected to help meet Gov. Jerry Brown’s goal of generating 50% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. At this rate, the Golden State may achieve its ambitious goal a decade ahead of schedule. Critics fear that the measure could raise housing prices as well as result in fewer jobs for blue collar workers who would otherwise construct non-solar buildings. Despite these concerns, many residents still support the measure because they see it as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels.

The California new construction solar mandate is going to require solar installation contractors and home builders in the state  to have at least 15% of new residential construction projects set up with rooftop solar. This makes it mandatory for companies and agencies that sell, install, and design solar power systems in the Golden State to make a certain amount of their work accessible through third-party power purchase agreements. This is an expansion on a previous law enacted by the state in 2008 requiring solar panels on the top 5% of all new buildings by 2020. It was found that this would not be enough, so in order to continue meeting renewable energy goals, they upped the ante and made this change. These goals are part of California’s statewide 2030 plan which has been designed with climate change in mind. As such, anyone who does not comply will be subject to fines between $100-$500 per day until they get their act together or apply for an exemption from enforcement.

With a solar PV system installed on your home, you can expect your electricity bills to decrease dramatically. If you install a 5-kW system on your home, for example, we found that you could reduce your electricity bill by an average of $150/month or $1,800/year. Those savings may increase over time as electric rates continue to climb and the federal tax credit continues through 2019. In some cases, homeowners have even reported saving close to $300-$400/month! Additionally, this initial investment pays off in 10 years and starts generating money after that point. Plus, with our SolarLease program, all homeowners are eligible for no upfront cost installation!

If you are still on the fence about getting solar panels, it is important to remember that this California new construction mandate is for new constructions only. This means that if you're considering putting solar panels on your roof or in your yard for any other reason, this legislation will not affect you. If you are thinking about buying a new home, talk with your realtor about whether the location has homes for sale with solar installed and is part of a net-metering program. Talk with your builder and architect before building so they can design the property to take advantage of renewable energy sources like sun and wind. And, lastly, know that now more than ever there are many different ways homeowners can go solar, from rooftop installations to community arrays.

Now that the standards have been updated, we're getting close to having an effective and enforceable solar mandate. Starting in 2020, all homes being built or substantially renovated in California will be required to include solar systems on their roofs. 

The California new construction solar mandate requires that 15% of all new residential rooftops in the state must include solar arrays by 2020. Additionally, by 2025, there will be a minimum requirement of 12.5% of residences with rooftop solar arrays or other types of solar installations. There are exceptions for homes with difficult-to-treat roofs, and those in certain parts of the state where space constraints make it difficult to install solar panels. There is also a zero net energy standard which requires all newly constructed residential buildings, as well as commercial buildings three stories tall or less, to produce more electricity than they consume each year.
