In the Bay Area, with PG&E at least, you can trivially choose your mix, and designate that you want only renewables. Perhaps this is pure accounting trickery, and it's essentially just making the remaining mix dirtier, but it's at least incredibly easy.
Another alternative for apartment dwellers, though I don't know if there are many options in CA, is Community Solar, where you buy a share of a utility-sized installation.

For renters, that'll largely depend on if you get an individual PG&E bill. Large apartment buildings aren't always individually metered. Instead, you pay a calculated portion of the building's single energy bill alongside your rent. (Referred to as RUBS--ratio utility billing system--in the multifamily housing space.)
