A typical Central Valley home needs about 350 to 500 square feet of unshaded roof for full coverage. Odd shapes are fine — we work around vents and skylights rather than insisting on neat rectangles.

Every fixing is flashed into the roofing plane and warranted against leaks for twenty-five years. If your roof has under five years left in it, we will tell you to re-roof first — taking an array off and putting it back costs far more.

Solar alone shuts down during an outage — that is a safety rule, not a fault. To keep the lights on you need a battery and a backup panel. Most people back up a short list: fridge, well pump, a few sockets and the router.

We use your last twelve bills, your actual tariff bands, hour-by-hour production from your measured shade data, and half a percent of panel degradation a year. We do not assume big utility price rises to flatter the number.

Yes, including arrays whose original installer has closed. We start with a full test and a written condition report, then quote only what needs doing. About a third need nothing more than a clean and a firmware update.

An owned system stays with the property and usually adds to its value. We give you a transfer pack with the production history for your agent. Financed systems can be paid off at closing or passed to the buyer, no fee either way.
