- About Us
What Makes Us Different
Solano County sits at the crossroads of Northern California weather patterns, where scorching inland summers meet coastal influence and strong delta winds. California Renewable Energy brings years of experience solving the specific energy challenges Vacaville and surrounding communities face. Our installations account for PG&E's complex rate tiers while delivering systems built to withstand everything from triple-digit heat to powerful wind events.
- Why Choose Us
What We Offer
Conquer Inland Heat Waves
Interior Solano County regularly sees 95°F to 105°F summer temperatures that strain cooling systems and spike electricity usage. Strategic solar and HVAC combinations keep homes comfortable while slashing peak-season costs.
Escape Rising PG&E Rates
Electricity costs continue climbing across California. Solar installations provide price stability by generating your own power and reducing dependence on grid electricity during expensive peak hours.
Access Local Funding Programs
Federal tax credits combine with California state incentives and financing options to make upgrades affordable. We navigate every program to maximize your investment returns.
- Our Services
What We Offer
Solar
An amazing product made to save you money from day one and give you control of your electric bills. Add batteries or a home generator for resilience.
HVAC, Heating and Air
Older units can have you paying 20 to 60 percent more than you need. Upgrade to efficient systems and take advantage of current rebates.
Roofing
Roofs that look great, carry top-tier warranties, and help keep your home noticeably cooler with modern materials.
Windows
Energy Star rated windows that improve insulation and keep outside noise out, with custom sizes and expert installation.

- California State Programs
Leverage state-funded incentive programs specifically designed to help California homeowners adopt clean energy technology and implement comprehensive efficiency improvements.

How it works
We’ve streamlined the process for homeowners. From PG&E coordination to local permits, we handle everything with complete transparency.
Step 1: Free Assessment
Connect with our local team to discuss your energy goals. We'll evaluate your home and explain options tailored to your home.
Step 2: Custom Design & Local Quote
Receive a system design with transparent pricing, PG&E savings projections, and financing options.
Step 3: Local Permits & PG&E Coordination
We handle all the required permits, PG&E interconnection paperwork, and HOA approvals. You stay informed without the hassle.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Our certified technicians complete your installation with quality workmanship, followed by inspection, PG&E approval, and system activation.
1. How much money can Vacaville homeowners save with solar panels?
Typical annual savings range from $1,300 to $2,200 depending on electricity consumption, roof orientation, and system size. PG&E's elevated rates and the sunshine create excellent solar economics.
2. What's involved in connecting my solar system to PG&E's grid?
We handle the entire interconnection process including applications, engineering reviews, meter installations, and permission to operate. Most homeowners never need to contact PG&E directly throughout approval.
3. Is roof replacement necessary before installing solar in Vacaville?
We evaluate roof condition during assessment. If your roof has less than 10 years of useful life remaining, replacement before solar installation saves money versus later removal and reinstallation costs.
4. How long does the complete installation process take?
Solar installation is 6-8 weeks, HVAC and Roofing is typically 1-2 weeks and window installation is 3-4 weeks
