PG&E has an option where you can choose to have 50% or 100% of your power come from solar:

>...When you enroll, PG&E will purchase additional, new solar resources to meet your electricity needs as well as those of other participating customers.

As you might have guessed, you pay a premium for his option:

>...Your monthly electric energy statement will include a charge for the solar power you are purchasing and related program charges, as well as a credit for the standard generation you are no longer purchasing. Today, the net of these charges and credits is a premium.
