Keep the lights on when the grid goes dark.

Solar panels alone shut off in an outage for safety. The piece that keeps your lights on is battery storage — an Enphase (or Tesla Powerwall) system banks the day's solar and powers your home when the grid is down. For long, multi-day outages we pair it with a Generac standby generator. We design the combination around how much you need to keep running.

It depends on outage length and what you want powered. A battery is silent, fuel-free and ideal for nightly use plus shorter PSPS events. A Generac generator is the backstop for the longest outages and whole-home loads. Many North Bay homes do best with both — solar to charge, battery for the everyday, generator as insurance. We'll tell you straight which makes sense for yours.

Every system is sized to your roof, usage and goals, so there's no honest one-size price — that's exactly what the free consult is for. Financing is available, and we'll walk you through current incentives and rebates so you can see the real out-of-pocket number before deciding.

Most residential installs are completed in a matter of days once permits are approved; design and permitting beforehand take a few weeks depending on your jurisdiction. We handle the permitting and inspections for you and give you a clear timeline up front.

Yes. We maintain and repair solar, batteries and generators — including systems other companies installed or abandoned. We also service Generac generators (including oil changes) and offer ongoing monitoring with support available 24/7.

We're based in Sebastopol, California and serve the North Bay — including Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Napa, St. Helena, Calistoga, Glen Ellen, Kenwood and the surrounding Sonoma, Napa and Marin communities.
