Solar, storage and energy services in Burbank and Glendale
Designed, permitted and installed by a Sylmar-based contractor that works in this utility territory every week — because Burbank & Glendale does not follow the same rules as the county next door.
What we do in Burbank and Glendale
Current Energy designs, installs and maintains solar, battery storage, EV charging, lighting, HVAC, roofing and electrical systems across Burbank and Glendale. Our office is at 15823 Monte St, Suite 101 in Sylmar, so this is local work rather than a territory served from somewhere else.
Typical property here: Commercial and light industrial buildings, apartment and condominium property, and established single-family housing.
What is different about Burbank & Glendale
Three utilities in a very small area
Burbank, Glendale and neighbouring SCE and LADWP territory sit within a few miles of one another, each with different rules for what your solar is worth and how it gets interconnected. Generic California solar advice is unusually unreliable here.
Commercial and studio-adjacent property
Both cities carry substantial commercial, media-production-adjacent and light industrial stock with the kind of daytime load profile that suits solar well — and demand charges that suit storage.
Established residential stock
Much of the housing here is older, well-maintained and frequently has original electrical service. Panel capacity is a common early finding, and often solvable without a full service upgrade.

Questions we get asked
Do you serve Burbank & Glendale?

Which utility serves Burbank & Glendale, and why does it matter?
Burbank is served by Burbank Water and Power and Glendale by Glendale Water and Power. Both are municipal utilities running their own net metering, interconnection requirements and local programs — independent of the CPUC and of each other. It matters because the utility determines what your exported energy is worth, what the interconnection process looks like and how long permission to operate takes. Two properties a few miles apart can have genuinely different economics for the same system.
Do Burbank Water and Power and Glendale Water and Power pay differently for solar than SCE?
Yes. Burbank and Glendale each run their own municipal utility with its own net-metering and interconnection rules, separate from Southern California Edison and from the CPUC’s Net Billing Tariff. Three utilities operate within a very small area here, so the same system can have genuinely different economics a few streets apart.
How do I know which utility serves my property near the Burbank–Glendale border?
By the service address rather than the postal city, which is exactly where this gets confusing. We confirm the serving utility and the applicable tariff from your bill before modelling anything, because a proposal built against the wrong utility’s rules is not worth reading.
