Solar & Battery Installation in Fontana, CA
Fontana is a short drive from our Ontario office, and its hot Inland Empire summers make a well-sized solar-plus-battery system a smart hedge against rising SCE rates.
What going solar looks like in Fontana
Fontana homes are served by Southern California Edison (SCE), and permits run through City of Fontana. 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.

Solar designed around Fontana
We design and install across Fontana — including Sierra Lakes, Southridge Village, Hunter's Ridge, Coyote Canyon, Citrus Heights, and Heritage.
Climate & energy use
Fontana sits in the inland valley below the lower slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains, where summer afternoons routinely climb past 100°F and cooling tends to be the dominant load on most homes' bills. That sustained heat — paired with the wildfire and Public Safety Power Shutoff exposure that can come with the city's foothill and wildland-edge areas to the north — is a big part of why many homeowners here pair panels with battery storage, so the AC and refrigerator can keep running when the grid goes down on the hottest days.
Roofs & housing stock
Much of Fontana's housing stock is detached single-family tract homes, including many built from the 1980s through the 2000s build-out in communities like Southridge, Heritage, Sierra Lakes, and the northern foothill subdivisions, so concrete or clay "S"-tile and composition (asphalt) shingle are among the most common roofs. Both are very workable for solar — tile installs call for specialized flashing and tile-replacement hooks so panels seat flush without cracking, while shingle roofs are typically a faster, lower-cost mount.
HOA & design review
Many Fontana homes sit in master-planned, HOA-governed communities such as Sierra Lakes, Hunter's Ridge, and Citrus Heights that often require architectural-review approval for rooftop equipment, and we prepare and submit those HOA packages alongside the city permit.
