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.

 Trustindex 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.

Why Go Solar Now?

Jackson anchors Amador County with its commercial activity, historic downtown, and mix of established neighborhoods. PG&E serves the area. Summer temperatures climb well above 95°F. And like much of the foothill corridor, Jackson is not immune to grid outages during PSPS events or high-fire-risk weather.

Jackson gets hot. When your AC runs from June through September and PG&E's time-of-use rates make evening power more expensive, the case for solar becomes easy to understand. Panels produce the most during the same hours your cooling load is highest.

Net metering rules changed in California in 2023. Battery storage has become a bigger part of how solar systems deliver value under the newer NEM 3.0 framework. They store solar power for use during peak-rate evening hours rather than exporting it to the grid at lower rates.

Jackson and the surrounding Amador foothills are within PG&E's fire-risk territory. Power shutoffs during dry, windy conditions are a reality some homeowners have already experienced. Battery-backed solar provides essential backup coverage during those events.

Jackson has everything from Victorian-era homes to mid-century ranches to newer construction. Each housing type comes with different roof conditions, panel orientations, and electrical considerations. We design for the actual home, not a generic template.

California Renewable Energy reviews homes in Jackson and throughout Amador County. Let's look at your energy use, roof, and battery options and build a plan that actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does solar typically cost in Jackson?

System cost depends on your home’s energy usage, roof size, and battery options. The 30% federal tax credit may apply to eligible homeowners. We provide specific estimates after reviewing your home and bills.

What happens to my solar system during a PSPS outage?

Grid-tied solar without battery storage shuts down automatically during outages for safety reasons. Battery storage is what allows your system to continue supplying your home when the grid is down.

Is my older Jackson home a good candidate for solar?

Possibly, but older homes may need roof or electrical panel work first. We assess those conditions early so there are no surprises. Many older homes are excellent solar candidates once the prep work is done.

What county permits are required for Jackson solar installations?

A building permit from Amador County and PG&E interconnection approval are both required. California Renewable Energy handles all filings.

How does shading from trees affect solar production in older neighborhoods?

Shading reduces production. We assess your specific shading situation during our site review and discuss options for panel layout or placement that work around it.
