Thank youPosted on Google Kara TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with California Renewable Energy was a pleasure. This project had been a nightmare for the last two years, but when California Renewable Energy came in, along with Solar Doctors, things went fast, smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with our ground mount setup.Posted on Google Pat KaveskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found Nate Blanton on a Facebook ad. We contacted him and received a call from him. After a brief conversation, we set up a meeting to discuss replacing our messed up roof and installation of solar panels with battery back up. He arrived at our house on a Saturday due to my spouse working during the week. We spent several hours going over materials that would best suit our needs and a price we could afford. His dedication to his company and great customer service had us sold. We were in contract within a couple of days. There was a bit of confusion with the permit office which was no fault of Nate or the company he works for. Brent, their representative, spent hours at the permit office and kept us informed and worked through all of the kinks that the permit office threw at us. Nate kept in contact with us through everything assuring us everything would go smoothly. We had many questions and he would have the answers immediately. The big day came and our roof was installed. It is a vision of beauty. It's perfect and we're confident in the workmanship that we received. We have recommended Nate to our family, friends and neighbors. The work passed inspection the first time, which is impressive for our county. We are happy that we found this company and to have met Nate.Posted on Google Laura SloppyeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nate Blanton directed me into a finance program that worked with my budget! My HVAC system was almost 30 years old with no warranty.

Why Go Solar Now?
Fiddletown is one of those rare California communities that feels genuinely removed from the pace of modern life. It's rural, historic, and small, an unincorporated foothill community with roots going back to the Gold Rush. Its residents tend to be deliberate about their choices, and many are asking the same question: Does solar actually make sense out here?
- Remote Location, Real Outage Exposure
Fiddletown's location in the eastern Amador County foothills puts it in PG&E territory with above-average wildfire risk and PSPS potential. When the grid goes down, it can stay down for longer in rural areas. Solar paired with battery storage gives your property a meaningful backup.
- Wine Country Sun Exposure
The Fiddletown wine appellation exists partly because of the strong sun and warm temperatures in this corridor. Those same conditions make solar production strong through the long growing season months.
- Rural Properties with Flexibility
Many Fiddletown properties include barns, shops, larger rooflines, or land area that could support ground-mount solar. We assess what your specific property can support — not just the main roof.
- Energy Costs That Add Up Quietly
Rural PG&E customers often find that their energy bills are higher than they'd expect, particularly when heating and cooling older homes that weren't built to modern efficiency standards.
