What we do

Three services, designed to work together

Most homes start with solar. Add a battery for backup power, and if your roof is near the end of its life, we replace it first so your panels sit on a roof that lasts as long as they do.

FAQ

Common questions

Anything else, ask us at your free consultation.

What does the consultation cost?

Nothing. The consultation and your written quote are free, with no obligation to move forward.

Can a battery power my whole house?

It depends on the battery setup and what you want to keep running. Some homes back up everything, others pick essentials like the fridge, lights and Wi-Fi. We'll size it with you.

Can I add a battery to the solar I already have?

In most cases, yes. We'll look at your current system and recommend the battery that works best with it.

Do I need a new roof before going solar?

Not always. We inspect your roof first. If it has plenty of life left, we go straight to solar. If it's close to needing replacement, we'll tell you, because replacing it later means removing the panels.

Do you handle permits and the utility?

Yes. We file the permits, coordinate inspections and submit the utility interconnection paperwork for you.
