Solar & Battery Installation in Anaheim, CA
Home of the Anaheim Ducks — our official partner — and served by Anaheim Public Utilities, which has its own solar rules we know well.
What going solar looks like in Anaheim
Anaheim homes are served by Anaheim Public Utilities, and permits run through City of Anaheim. We manage both for you. Under NEM 3.0, the smart play here is solar sized to charge a battery, so you run your home on stored solar during the expensive evening peak instead of buying power at top rates.
- Permits handled through City of Anaheim
- Anaheim Public Utilities interconnection & PTO managed end-to-end
- Custom, roof-first design for your home
- One company for solar, battery, Tesla Solar Roof & HVAC
Local to Anaheim
Solar designed around Anaheim
We design and install across Anaheim — including Anaheim Hills, Anaheim Colony Historic District, West Anaheim, and Historic Palm District.
Climate & energy use
Sitting inland from the coast, Anaheim tends to run warmer than Orange County's coastal cities, with hot, sunny summer afternoons and long dry spells that drive up air-conditioning demand. Pairing solar with a battery here helps cover those peak-heat evenings, and in the eastern foothills near Anaheim Hills and Anaheim Canyon a battery also helps keep essentials running during fall and winter Santa Ana wind events when power can be interrupted.
Roofs & housing stock
Anaheim's housing stock ranges widely, from the early craftsman bungalows and Spanish-style homes of the Colony Historic District to extensive mid-century tract neighborhoods in west and central Anaheim and newer hillside homes in Anaheim Hills. Many of those older homes have composition-shingle roofs, while the hillside developments commonly use concrete or clay tile, so we tailor mounting and flashing to each roof type and check rafter condition on the city's older houses before designing the array.
HOA & design review
Many of Anaheim's hillside and master-planned communities, especially throughout Anaheim Hills, have active HOAs with architectural-review requirements, and homes in the city's historic districts can carry additional historic-preservation considerations — we prepare and manage those submittals for you.

Battery backup & solar repair in Anaheim
Yes — we handle more than new installs in Anaheim. Our in-house crews add battery backup to existing solar systems, diagnose and repair arrays regardless of who installed them, and remove and reinstall panels when a roof needs replacing.
A battery added to an existing Anaheim system does double duty: it stores your cheap daytime solar to use in the evening, and keeps essentials powered through outages. And if a re-roof is coming, the tile roofs described in the notes above are why panel removal and reinstallation here is careful, flashing-first work — we detach, store, and reset your system and bring it back online.

Know your utility
Anaheim Public Utilities vs SCE
Anaheim is one of the few Orange County cities not served by Southern California Edison. Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) is the city's own municipal utility — and because municipal utilities aren't regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, the CPUC's NEM 3.0 Net Billing Tariff that governs SCE customers does not apply inside Anaheim.
Instead, APU runs its own net-billing and interconnection program, with its own rate schedules, export-compensation rules, and approval process. That changes how a system should be designed — so we model your project against APU's actual program, not SCE assumptions, and handle the APU application and interconnection paperwork end-to-end.
