“The 30% federal tax credit expires Dec 31. Here’s what you need to know…”
Tick. Tick. Tick.
You have exactly 9 days left.
The 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit expires on December 31, 2025. For the average Cerritos homeowner, that’s between $7,500 and $12,000 disappearing into thin air if you don’t act now.
While the clock ticks, SCE just raised your rates AGAIN.
If you live near the Cerritos Library, Los Cerritos Center, Heritage Park, or anywhere in 90703—check your bill. You’re likely paying $380-$420 a month.
That number is only going up.
SCE is banking on you doing nothing. They want you to stay in the trap.
Don’t let them win.

⏰ 9 DAYS LEFT
Every day you wait costs money. Every day you wait increases the risk of missing the deadline entirely. Every day SCE wins.
P.S. The deadline isn’t extending. The tax credit isn’t coming back at 30% after December 31. Get the playbook now: https://news.betterpowerproject.com/better-power-landing/
That’s the sound of your solar tax savings disappearing.
On December 31, 2025, the 30% federal solar tax credit drops permanently. For the average La Mirada homeowner, that’s $7,500 to $12,000 vanishing overnight.
Meanwhile, SCE just announced another rate increase. And they’re counting on you to do absolutely nothing about it.
La Mirada means “the view” — but right now, that view includes rising electric bills with no end in sight.
But here’s the truth they’re hiding: You have 45 days left to claim the largest solar incentive in U.S. history AND escape the utility rate trap forever.
Why the December 31 Deadline Matters for La Mirada Homeowners
The federal solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) has been a game-changer for California homeowners. Right now, you can claim 30% of your total solar installation cost as a credit against your federal taxes.
Here’s what that means in real dollars for La Mirada homes:
Average 6kW system cost: $25,000
30% federal tax credit: $7,500
Your actual investment: $17,500
But on January 1, 2026? That 30% drops to 26%. By 2033, it phases out completely for residential installations.
Translation: The government is literally paying you thousands to go solar right now. After December 31, La Mirada homeowners will never see these numbers again.
What SCE Doesn’t Want La Mirada to Know
Southern California Edison has a business model built on one thing: keeping you dependent.
Here’s their playbook (the one they don’t advertise):
1. Predictable Rate Increases SCE has raised rates by an average of 5-7% annually over the past decade. Your $200/month bill today becomes $300/month in just 5 years with compounding increases. La Mirada families near the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and throughout the city are feeling this squeeze every single month.
2. Peak-Time Pricing Traps Time-of-Use rates mean you’re paying premium prices exactly when you need power most — late afternoon and evening when La Mirada families come home from work, fire up the AC, and start dinner. Solar + battery storage flips this script entirely.
3. The “Do Nothing” Bet SCE is banking on inertia. They know most La Mirada homeowners will research solar, get overwhelmed, and do nothing. Meanwhile, the meter keeps spinning and your bills keep climbing.
La Mirada: A City Built on Smart Choices
Did you know that La Mirada literally means “the view”? The city got its name from the beautiful vistas residents enjoy — strategically positioned between Los Angeles and Orange County with clear sight lines in every direction.
But there’s another view La Mirada homeowners are getting crystal clear on: the view of their financial future with solar.
Just like the city’s founding residents recognized the strategic value of this location, today’s La Mirada homeowners are recognizing the strategic value of energy independence. With some of the highest sunshine exposure in Southern California and SCE rates climbing year after year, the solar opportunity here isn’t just good — it’s exceptional.
La Mirada Solar Advantages:
280+ days of annual sunshine perfect for solar production
Strategic inland location means less coastal fog interference
Average SCE bills: $350-390/month (and rising)
Typical system payback period: 6-8 years with current incentives
Average savings over 25 years: $105,000+
The Better Power Solution: Breaking Free Before December 31
We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across La Mirada, Los Angeles, Orange County, and Riverside counties escape the utility trap. Here’s the proven 3-step system:
Step 1: Get Your Custom Solar Analysis Using advanced solar mapping technology, we calculate your exact roof potential, current energy waste, and projected 25-year savings. For La Mirada homes — whether you’re near Biola University, the Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center, or anywhere in the 90638 zip — we provide precise data, not guesswork.
Step 2: Maximize Your Incentives The federal tax credit is just the start. We identify every state, local, and utility rebate you qualify for — then structure your installation to claim them all before deadline. La Mirada homeowners working with Better Power Project average $8,200 in total incentives captured.
Step 3: Lock in Energy Independence Once your system is live, you’re producing your own power at a fixed cost while your neighbors watch SCE raise rates year after year. It’s the view La Mirada residents deserve.
Real La Mirada and Southern California Homeowners, Real Results
The Rodriguez Family — La Mirada “Living near Biola, our SCE bills were crushing us — $390/month and climbing. Better Power Project walked us through everything, handled all the permits, and now we’re at $0/month. We’re saving over $4,600 a year. Best investment we’ve ever made for our home.”
The Martinez Family — Long Beach “We went from $340/month to SCE to a $0 electric bill. The system paid for itself in 7 years, and now we’re saving $4,000+ annually. Best decision we ever made.”
David K. — San Gabriel Valley “I waited too long in 2019 and missed out on the higher tax credits. I wasn’t making that mistake again. Better Power made the whole process painless.”
The Chen Household — Riverside “SDG&E raised our rates three times in two years. We got sick of it. Now we’re producing more power than we use and actually getting credits back.”
Solar Success Stories Across La Mirada: From The Creamery to Creek Park
At Better Power Project, we’re proud to serve La Mirada and the diverse communities across Los Angeles, Orange County, and Riverside. Each city has its own character, its own history — and its own energy challenges.
La Mirada: Where “The View” Includes Solar Savings
La Mirada has always had a perfect view — strategically positioned between LA and Orange County, residents enjoy beautiful vistas and convenient access to everything Southern California offers.
But that same innovative spirit that drew families to La Mirada is why homeowners here are leading the charge in solar adoption. With average electric bills pushing $380+/month due to SCE rate increases and 280+ days of perfect sunshine annually, La Mirada residents aren’t waiting around.
The La Mirada Solar Advantage:
Average annual sunshine: 280+ days perfect for solar production
Typical system payback period: 6-7 years with current incentives
Average savings over 25 years: $105,000+
Strategic inland location: Less fog, more sun, faster ROI
We’ve installed systems throughout La Mirada — from homes near La Mirada Regional Park to neighborhoods around The Creamery and throughout the 90638 area. Every installation helps another La Mirada family slash their utility bills and lock in energy independence.
Let’s be brutally honest about timing for La Mirada homeowners:
Installation typically takes 4-6 weeks from contract signing to system activation. But during the year-end rush? That timeline can stretch to 8-10 weeks as solar companies are slammed with homeowners racing the deadline.
Do the math:
Today: December 10, 2025
Installation time: 6-8 weeks minimum
Deadline: December 31, 2025
You’re already cutting it close.
Add in potential delays (permit approvals with the city of La Mirada, SCE interconnection, equipment availability) and every day you wait increases your risk of missing the deadline entirely.

Q: What if I don’t owe enough in federal taxes to claim the full credit? A: The credit rolls over. If you owe $5,000 in taxes but have a $7,500 credit, you can apply the remaining $2,500 to next year’s taxes.
Q: How does solar work with La Mirada’s building codes and HOA requirements? A: We handle all permitting with the city of La Mirada and work with local HOAs regularly. Solar is protected under California Solar Rights Act — HOAs cannot prohibit installations, though aesthetic guidelines may apply.

We’re talking about THOUSANDS of dollars you’re handing back to Uncle Sam if you wait.
Here’s The Math That Should Piss You Off: Average Southern California Solar System: $25,000

You know it. We know it.
Southern California electricity rates are criminal. You’re tired of watching your bill climb every summer. You want energy independence. You want to stop funding utility company executives’ third vacation homes.
So why are you waiting until 2026 and PAYING MORE for it?
