Going solar in Fresno
Fresno homes face some of the longest cooling seasons in California, with more than 100 days above 90 degrees in a typical year. That makes summer bills the single biggest driver of solar interest, and it is why we design around your July and August usage rather than an annual average.
The City of Fresno uses an online permitting portal for residential solar, and most of our permits clear in under two weeks. Our office on West Shaw Avenue is a short drive from every neighborhood we serve, so site surveys and service calls happen fast.

Older electrical panels
Many 1950s to 1970s homes in central Fresno have 100 A panels. We check capacity on every survey and quote upgrades up front.
Tile and flat roofs
Fig Garden and Old Fig homes often have tile or low-slope sections. We use tile-replacement mounts and ballasted racking where needed.
Utility: PG&E
We model savings on your exact PG&E rate plan and file the interconnection application for you.
Nearby project: Tile roof solar plus backup in Fig Garden
A 1960s ranch home with a concrete tile roof, a 100 A panel and a medical device that needed backup power.
Our July bill went from $438 to $61. The crew finished in one day and cleaned up better than they found it.
Many newer north Fresno subdivisions have HOAs. California's Solar Rights Act limits how much an HOA can restrict solar, but you may still need to submit plans. We prepare the package for you.
After the city inspection, PG&E permission to operate typically arrives in 1 to 3 weeks for residential systems.
