We design and install solar systems that cut energy bills, boost property value, and keep the lights on when it matters.

Just clean installs, honest work, and solar setups that perform for years.

Why Choose a Local Solar Electrician

Sacramento sits across two different utility territories, and that difference changes what a solar system should look like on your roof. Most of the city of Sacramento is served by SMUD, which runs its own net metering program and isn’t subject to NEM 3.0 – exported power is still credited close to retail rates. Surrounding unincorporated areas and many nearby suburbs are on PG&E, which falls under the Net Billing Tariff, where export credits run roughly 70-75% lower than the old NEM 2.0 rate. That difference can change whether a battery makes financial sense for your home, and it’s the kind of detail a national solar broker won’t catch but a local electrician will.

We size every system around your actual utility, not a generic statewide assumption. A SMUD home and a PG&E home five miles apart can need genuinely different system designs to hit the same payback timeline. Because we’re a C-10 licensed electrical contractor first, we also catch panel capacity issues before they become a change order mid-install, and we handle the interconnection paperwork with SMUD or PG&E so you’re not the one on hold with the utility.
