Solar & Battery Installation in Bakersfield, CA
We bring custom solar, battery, Tesla Solar Roof, and HVAC to Bakersfield and Kern County — engineered for some of the hottest conditions in the state.
What going solar looks like in Bakersfield
Bakersfield homes are served by PG&E, and permits run through City of Bakersfield. 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.
