What we typically see in Chula Vista

Western Chula Vista has older homes where original electrical is still in service in many cases, with 100-amp panels common from the 1960s and 1970s. Eastern Chula Vista has newer construction with modern 200-amp service standard. Solar PV adoption is heavy in eastern Chula Vista, which affects most panel-related projects.
