Cut your power bill with rooftop solar

A typical 6–8 kW residential system in Kern County runs $14,000–$22,000 before the 30% federal tax credit. Net cost after the credit is usually $10,000–$15,400. Pricing depends on roof complexity, panel choice, and whether you add battery storage.

Yes — but the math has shifted. Export credits are lower than NEM 2.0, so the strongest returns now come from pairing solar with a battery so you use your own production at night instead of selling it back at low rates. Payback is typically 6–9 years for a battery-paired system.

Yes. Permits, HOA submittals, structural letters, and the utility’s Permission to Operate (PTO) are all included. You don’t fill out a single form.

It depends on your monthly usage. A $200/month PG&E bill typically needs a 6–8 kW system (15–20 panels). We pull 12 months of utility data during the site survey and size the system to your actual consumption — not generic averages.

We use a quick-disconnect mounting system. If your roof needs replacement, panels can be removed and reinstalled — we coordinate directly with most local roofers and offer a discounted reinstall rate for our customers.

25-year manufacturer equipment warranty plus our workmanship warranty on the install itself (covers leaks, mounting, and labor). Inverter warranties vary by model — typically 12–25 years. We walk through every warranty in writing before you sign.

Yes. South-facing roofs produce the most, but east- and west-facing arrays still produce 80–90% as much over the year. We model your specific roof orientation and shading during the design phase so the numbers reflect your home — not a textbook example.

Very little. In Kern County, a once-a-year rinse to clear Central Valley dust is usually enough. Panels have no moving parts, and we provide a monitoring app so you’ll see immediately if production drops.

Yes. Studies (including from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) show owned solar systems add measurable resale value, and California’s property-tax exclusion means that added value isn’t reassessed as a property-tax increase.
