Solar & Battery Installation in Burbank, CA
Burbank is served by its own municipal utility, Burbank Water and Power, which sets its own solar and battery interconnection requirements — we handle the full permit-to-power-on process here.
What going solar looks like in Burbank
Burbank homes are served by Burbank Water and Power, and permits run through City of Burbank. 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 Burbank
- Burbank Water and Power interconnection & PTO managed end-to-end
- Custom, roof-first design for your home

Local to Burbank
Solar designed around Burbank
We design and install across Burbank — including Magnolia Park, Rancho Equestrian District, and Verdugo foothills (Burbank hillside).
Climate & energy use
Burbank sits in the inland San Fernando Valley, where long, dry summers push afternoon cooling loads high and the nearby Verdugo Mountains create real wildfire and Santa Ana wind exposure along the foothills. That combination — heavy AC demand on hot days plus the chance of weather-related outages — is one reason many homeowners pair rooftop solar with a battery so a home can keep running during a grid interruption.
Roofs & housing stock
Burbank's older neighborhoods include many 1920s–1940s Spanish and Mediterranean homes with clay or concrete tile, alongside a large share of mid-century ranch houses with composition shingle, sometimes including low-slope or flat sections. Tile roofs need careful flashing and tile-handling work during mounting, while the broad, sun-facing shingle roofs common here tend to make for straightforward panel layouts.

Burbank solar FAQ
Common questions in Burbank
Yes — we serve Burbank (Los Angeles County) with solar, battery storage, the Tesla Solar Roof, and HVAC. We serve it from a nearby OC Solar office.
Burbank is served by Burbank Water and Power. We handle interconnection and Permission to Operate (PTO) with them end-to-end so you don't have to.
Yes. We prepare and submit all permits through City of Burbank and track each one, with weekly status updates until your system is switched on.
Under California's NEM 3.0, a battery is usually what makes solar pay off — it stores your cheap daytime solar to use during the expensive 4–9 PM peak on Burbank Water and Power's time-of-use rates, and keeps your home powered during outages.
There's no honest single Burbank price — cost is driven by your system size (kW), your roof's layout and condition, the equipment you choose, and any electrical work like a main-panel upgrade. Your exposure to Burbank Water and Power rates and whether you pair a battery under NEM 3.0 drive the value side. See our guide to California solar cost by system size for what moves the number, use our savings calculator to model your bill, and we'll price your actual roof with a free, itemized estimate.
Because Burbank runs its own municipal utility, Burbank Water and Power sets its own solar interconnection and net-metering rules rather than following the statewide investor-owned utility programs, and your permit goes through the City of Burbank as the local authority. We handle the BWP interconnection application and the city permitting together, so the same team takes your project from design through inspection and final permission to turn the system on.
