It’s no problem to upgrade an existing solar setup by adding more panels or a battery. Systems can usually be expanded, whether you want to increase your solar panel capacity or add a home battery backup like a Powerwall for extra energy storage. A site assessment is needed to check your current setup, your roof space, and your energy use. This way, your new panels or battery work smoothly with what’s already there. All the permits, design updates, and inspections get handled, so you don’t have to worry about the details. Upgrades help get more out of your solar investment and give you more backup power during outages.
Solar battery options are available, including the Tesla Powerwall 3 for whole-home backup. The Powerwall 3 can store around 13.5 kWh of energy and has a built-in solar inverter for a cleaner setup. It’s designed to keep your essential home appliances running during power outages. Installation is customized based on your home’s energy needs and the electrical setup, with in-house, licensed electricians handling everything from permits to utility approval. Pricing is given after a free consultation to make sure the backup system fits your needs.
Residential solar installations come with a 25-year product and performance warranty on the solar panels themselves. This means the panels are covered if there’s a problem with how they're made, and they’re guaranteed to keep producing a certain amount of energy for 25 years. Other equipment like inverters or batteries may have separate warranties, depending on the brand, and those details will be shared during your project. All installation work is done by licensed electricians, so you’re protected by both manufacturer and workmanship coverage.
All the permits, inspections, and utility interconnection steps needed for a solar panel installation are handled from start to finish.

EV charger installation is available and includes checking your electrical panel to see if it needs an upgrade.

Handling permits and inspections is part of the service, so you get a safe, code-compliant installation suited to both your car and home setup.
The cost of a solar panel installation can vary a lot based on things like how much energy you use, how big your system needs to be, your roof type, and if you need any electrical upgrades. Because of this, prices are tailored to each home or business after a free assessment. For people wanting to spread out payments, there are monthly financing options shown on the website, like plans starting at $99.9, $169.9, and $259.9 per month.

To figure out if a solar system will work well on your roof, a few things matter: how much energy you use, the size and angle of your roof, how much shade you have, and which way your roof faces. First, you'll want to look at your electric bills to see how much energy your home uses each month. The right solar setup is designed to match this. Next, someone will check your roof—either in person or through satellite imaging—to look at the space you have, the direction your roof faces (south is usually best in California), and if trees or other things shade it during the day. During a free consultation, all this info gets reviewed, and you’ll get a custom plan that shows exactly how solar panels would fit on your roof and how much energy you could expect to make. With real assessments and a personalized design, you’ll know for sure how well solar can work on your home before moving forward.

A residential solar system can be designed around your current electric bill, future plans for charging an electric vehicle, and the option to add battery backup. The first step is collecting your recent energy usage, figuring out your EV charging needs, and looking at backup power goals. Based on that info, a custom solar setup is designed to cover your regular electricity use, with extra capacity for charging your EV and room for a home battery like the Tesla Powerwall if you want backup power during an outage. This approach means your system is sized right from the start and can grow with your needs. The design also takes into account your home’s electrical panel—if yours needs an upgrade to handle the extra load, that’s sorted as part of the project.

From the initial consultation through final utility approval, a typical residential solar installation takes approximately 2 to 10 weeks.
The process begins with a free consultation and preliminary system design, followed by an on-site home assessment to confirm the roof layout, electrical equipment, and installation requirements. Once the final design is completed, the project moves into permitting. Approval times vary depending on the local city, county, and utility requirements.
After the permits are approved, the solar installation itself is usually completed within one or two days. The system must then pass a final city or county inspection before the utility company can issue Permission to Operate, commonly referred to as PTO.
Although timelines vary by location and permitting authority, most homeowners can expect their solar system to be fully approved and operational within a couple of months.
