How these numbers are made

Source: City of Anaheim Accela building permits on single-family homes and ADUs. The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.

  • Why is this different from the per-watt prices I see online?Online prices are quoted per watt. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many watts plus the work around them, and the Anaheim file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $16,000 into a price per watt.

  • Where does this data come from?City of Anaheim Accela building permits on single-family homes and ADUs, read October 2026. How the records work in Anaheim →
