Energy
One of the most compelling features of 18 Baliza Road is its fully owned, paid-off solar energy system. Unlike leased solar arrangements that transfer financial obligation to the buyer, this system is owned outright — meaning the savings are immediate and the benefit is entirely yours from day one.
The solar array has been sized and optimized for this home's energy consumption profile, consistently producing enough power to offset the home's electrical usage and yield a net energy cost of zero. This is not an estimate — the charts below reflect the actual production and consumption data for this property.
Additionally, the home is pre-wired for EV charging, making it future-ready for electric vehicles without the need for costly electrical panel upgrades or additional permitting.
In today's energy market, an owned solar system at a home of this scale represents a significant asset. Based on current utility rates in Orange County, homeowners with comparable systems realize estimated savings of $3,000–$5,000+ annually in electricity costs.
No assumption of a solar lease. The system transfers with the home at no additional cost to the buyer.
Solar production consistently offsets the home's total energy consumption, eliminating the monthly electric bill.
Pre-wired in the 3-car garage for Level 2 EV charging — no permits or panel upgrades required.
Significantly reduces the home's carbon footprint while insulating the owner from rising utility rates.
