Utility playbook
Selling solar in Anaheim (APU) territory
Anaheim Public Utilities is municipal power and among the cheapest electricity in Southern California — walk these doors with an IOU bill-pain script and you'll get corrected by the homeowner.
The Anaheim angle: APU's own solar programs and rebates, plus rate-lock against future increases. Prioritize the SCE doors around Anaheim first; work APU turf with the rebate-plus-ownership story.

APU battery-first doors
Battery-first rarely pencils on an APU bill — position storage for backup and EV owners only.
If the driveway has an EV, the load-shifting story works; otherwise lead panels-plus-rebate and keep the quote lean.
APU NEM 3.0 survival guide
APU sets its own net-metering terms as a muni — the CPUC NEM 3.0 fight is background noise here, which itself is a differentiator worth naming.
Frame it straight: Anaheim kept solar simpler than the IOUs; the window to lock terms is while that lasts.
APU export-credit math
With low retail rates, both exports and avoided purchases are modest — the close rests on rebates, ownership, and long-run rate certainty.
Quote conservatively and let APU's incentive stack do the heavy lifting; an oversized system is the fastest way to lose this town.
