Choosing a solar or battery installer shouldn’t come down to who gives you the fastest quote.

In California, the right installer should be able to answer some much bigger questions:

1. What rebates and incentives does my home actually qualify for?
2. Can a battery work with my existing solar system?
3. Who handles permits, utility coordination, and incentive applications?
4. How will my system be designed around my actual energy use?
5. Who do I call if something goes wrong after installation?

We put together a guide to the questions California homeowners should ask before signing a solar or battery contract, plus a comparison of several California installers and what they offer.

Do your homework before making a 20+ year investment in your home.

Explore California solar and battery installers and learn how to choose the best for your energy needs and project requirements.

If you already have solar, you might be wondering if adding a battery is worth it 🤔

This has become a much more common question lately.

And the answer is… it depends.

For many homeowners, a battery can:
– store excess energy instead of sending it to the grid
– reduce how much electricity you buy at peak rates
– provide backup power during outages

But it’s not always necessary.

It really comes down to your energy usage, your current system, and what incentives are available.

Programs like SGIP can also significantly reduce costs for some homeowners.

We put together a breakdown of when it makes sense and when it doesn’t.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is a good place to start.

We’ve been hearing this a lot lately:

“Is solar even worth it anymore in California?”

Short answer, yes.

But not in the same way it used to be.

With the changes to net billing (NEM 3.0), sending energy back to the grid doesn’t have the same value it once did.

So the strategy has shifted.

Instead of overproducing and exporting energy, it’s now about:
– using your power at the right time
– storing excess energy
– reducing how much you rely on the utility

That’s why more homeowners are pairing solar with battery storage.

We put together a breakdown of what actually changed and how to think about solar today.

If you’re considering it, this is worth understanding first.

If you’ve looked into battery backup or solar in California, you’ve probably heard about SGIP.

And if you’re like most people… you’re still not totally sure what it actually is.

Totally fair. It’s not explained very well.

It’s basically a rebate program for battery storage, but the details matter a lot:
– who qualifies
– how much you can actually get
– and when funding is available

Two people in the same neighborhood can qualify for completely different amounts.

We finally put together a simple breakdown that actually explains how it works without making it confusing.
