Services
Solar Panel Installation
Custom-installed solar panels convert sunlight into DC current, which is then transformed into AC electricity for home use. Excess energy is sent to the grid for future credit. Our systems ensure continuous power supply day and night, with inverters conditioning electricity for optimal performance.
Energy Savings Consultation
We analyze your energy usage and PG&E billing tiers to determine potential monthly savings. By targeting high-cost electricity tiers first, our systems maximize financial benefits. We provide tailored recommendations to lock in energy costs and protect against future rate hikes.
Battery Integration
We integrate Enphase IQ Battery 5P systems for energy storage, allowing homeowners to use solar power during outages or at night. This solution enhances energy independence and ensures reliable power during peak demand periods when grid electricity costs more.
System Design
Our designs consider orientation, angle, shading, and local regulations to optimize energy output. We ensure systems meet NABCEP standards for performance and safety, maximizing long-term savings while complying with Bay Area-specific requirements.
Inverter Installation
We install high-quality inverters that convert DC power from solar panels into usable AC electricity. Our systems ensure seamless integration with home electrical networks and utility grids, maintaining consistent power quality and efficiency.

Questions
How does solar power work for my home?
Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity, which is then transformed into AC power by inverters. Excess energy is sent to the grid for credit, and your home draws power from both sources as needed.
What savings can I expect from solar panels?
Savings depend on your energy usage and PG&E's tiered rates. Homes using over $70/month typically save the most by targeting high-cost tiers first, potentially reducing bills by 50-100%.
Are there incentives for going solar?
Yes! Tiered utility rates, federal tax credits, and potential rebates make solar more affordable. We help you maximize available incentives to improve your return on investment.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations complete within 1-3 days after permitting. We handle all paperwork and coordinate with local authorities to ensure a smooth, efficient process.
