Hey Central Valley, do you know how to check your PG&E rate plan?

As Central Valley weather shifts between sweltering summer heat and freezing winter cold, our heating and cooling systems are forced to work overtime. To optimize your electricity costs and avoid surprise bills, it’s vital to stay informed about your PG&E rate plan no matter the season. At Sol-Tek Solar, we are committed to ensuring you save the MAX amount of money possible.

Here are three reasons you should check your PG&E rate:

#1 Avoid Peak Usage Charges

PG&E implements peak pricing during summer afternoons when electricity demand is high. By understanding your rate plan, you can schedule electricity-intensive activities for off-peak hours, saving you money.

#2 Evaluate Your Electricity Usage

Summer usually means increased electricity consumption due to cooling. Reviewing your rate plan helps you assess when to use air conditioning and other electricity-dependent activities that align with your current usage patterns. You might discover a plan that better suits your needs without overspending during peak hours.

#3 Take Advantage of Solar Power

If you have solar panels, your power production can help offset some of your peak rate charges. Understanding your PG&E rate plan allows you to maximize your solar benefits and reduce your reliance on grid electricity during expensive peak hours.

How to Check Your PG&E Rate Plan

We recommend you follow these instructions to determine if the rate you are currently enrolled in is the best option for your home year-round!

Step 1. Visit the PG&E Website to log into your account. 

Step 2. Click on “Usage and Rates” located at the top of your home page, select “Compare Rate Plans” from the dropdown menu. 

Step 3. When prompted, confirm the site address listed is the correct location for the account you want to manage. Click “Manage Rate Plan” to proceed. 

Step 4. Review and compare your current plan to the other available rate structures and choose the most cost-effective option for your electricity usage. 


It’s as simple as that. By staying proactive, you become the boss of your electricity usage and savings in every season. Stay cool and stress-free when you get to enjoy the benefits of a well-managed electricity plan all year long!
