     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Under the Sun Solar and Electric to upgrade my subpanel per the new California code. It was a quick and easy process. They were very easy to communicate with throughout, from the scheduling the install, passing inspection, to the documentation they could provide so that I could send it off to my HOA. The install was very quick and neat, and they made sure to leave everything spotless after themselves.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our old panel replaced and the whole experience was great from start to finish. The crew was easy to work with, answered all of our questions, and kept everything neat and organized throughout the install. The new panel looks amazing and works perfectly. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a panel upgrade.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd highly recommend Under The Sun for your solar needs.  I recently had 10 additional panels added to boost the production of my existing system.  Mark and Paul were very responsive and easy to work with.  They also worked with me to ensure a clean installation making sure no ugly conduit was exposed and completed the entire install process in a single day.  It’s rare to find contractors that are this professional and prompt.

100-amp and 200-amp paths for Elk Grove homes

Smaller homes with modest loads sometimes land on a clean 100-amp replacement. Most Elk Grove projects we see – especially with EV or battery plans – need 200-amp. We size from a real load calculation, not a brochure default, and we do not treat Elk Grove as SMUD or SMUD territory.

SMUD interconnection and City of Elk Grove inspections

When the meter-main or service drop must change, SMUD scheduling sits on the critical path. We file the City of Elk Grove Building permit, stage the panel swap, and walk inspection so the work is documented for resale. Unpermitted panel swaps create closing problems – we do not skip that step.

EV, battery, and solar headroom in one upgrade

If you already plan a Level 2 charger or home battery, the panel visit is the time to leave breaker space and feeder capacity. Same-city next steps: Elk Grove EV charger installation and Elk Grove energy storage. Metro overview: Sacramento electrical panel upgrades.

What the Elk Grove upgrade day looks like

We shut down safely, swap the panel and breakers, label circuits, and restore power the same day whenever SMUD work is already clear. You get a tidy garage or exterior wall – not a parts pile. More local electrical services: Elk Grove electrician hub.

What does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Elk Grove?

Most Elk Grove panel upgrades fall in a range similar to the broader Sacramento metro - often roughly $1,500 to $4,500 depending on service size, SMUD involvement, and whether a smart panel or subpanel is included. An on-site visit produces a written number. Call 916-899-3062.

Do I need a City of Elk Grove permit for a panel upgrade?

Yes. The City of Elk Grove requires a permit for panel and service upgrades, and the work must pass inspection. We pull permits in-house as part of the job.

Is Elk Grove on SMUD or SMUD?

Elk Grove residential service is typically SMUD. We plan interconnection and rebates around SMUD rules - not SMUD or SMUD defaults.

How long does a panel upgrade take in ZIP 95624 or 95758?

The panel swap itself is often a single day. SMUD service upgrades can add scheduling time before or after. We outline the timeline in your estimate.

Are you licensed for Elk Grove electrical work?

Yes. CSLB #1141678 (C-10), fully insured. Verify at cslb.ca.gov. Call or text 916-899-3062. Saturday work is by appointment only.
