Stop Renting Your Power from the Utility
Every month you pay SMUD or PG&E for power you will never own, and those rates keep climbing. A solar system changes that. You generate your own electricity during the day and pull far less from the grid, which can cut your bill significantly for decades to come.
How much you save depends on your home, your usage, and whether you add a battery. Under California's NEM 3.0 rules, pairing solar with storage is now the best way to get the most from what you produce, because it lets you use your own energy in the evening instead of exporting it for a low credit. We will model your actual numbers before you commit

Ways to Pay, and What Incentives Still Apply
You can own your system outright or finance it. We offer cash purchase, solar loans, leases, and PPAs, so you can go solar with little to no money down. Incentives change often: the federal residential tax credit for cash and loan purchases ended on December 31, 2025, though lease and PPA options may still pass along federal savings through a lower rate.
We will walk you through what applies to your situation.

FAQs
How long does a solar installation take?
Most residential installs are completed in about two days once permits are approved. The full timeline from signing to switch-on depends on permitting and utility approval, and we manage all of it for you.
Do I need permits to install solar in Sacramento?
Most roof types and orientations work well for solar. During your free assessment we check your roof condition, angle, and shading to plan the best layout, and we will flag it if a repair is needed first.
What warranty do I get?
Your panels and inverter carry manufacturer warranties, often up to 25 years for product and performance, and we stand behind our workmanship. Exact coverage depends on the equipment you choose.
Can you install panels I bought myself?
It depends on the equipment and its warranty terms. Get in touch and we will let you know what we can support.
Do you install commercial solar too?
Yes. Alongside our residential work, we design and install solar for commercial properties. Reach out to discuss your site.
