Vista is an inland North County San Diego city with a diverse housing stock and growing residential solar market. The city's inland location provides higher solar irradiance than coastal North County communities, and high SDG&E rates make solar ROI compelling. Vista has less contractor competition than nearby Carlsbad and Encinitas.
