 Trustindex 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.

 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.

Solar Installation

Every home is different, which is why we design custom solar systems based on your roof layout, energy usage, and goals. Whether you need rooftop panels or a ground-mount array, we'll build a solution that maximizes production and savings while fitting seamlessly into your property.

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity that powers your home. Any excess energy can feed back into the grid or charge a battery for later use. It's clean, renewable power that reduces what you pull from the utility, lowering your bills month after month.

We start by analyzing your utility bills, reviewing your roof's sun exposure, and understanding your energy goals. Then we size a system that matches your actual usage, ensuring you're not paying for more capacity than you need or leaving savings on the table.

Our team handles everything: engineering plans, city permits, HOA approvals, and utility interconnection. You won't chase paperwork or wonder what's next. We coordinate with inspectors and your utility provider so your system is installed correctly and turned on quickly.

Once your system is live, you'll have real-time monitoring through an easy-to-use app. Track your production, see your savings, and confirm your panels are performing exactly as we promised. If anything needs attention, we're here to make sure your system stays optimized for years to come.

Solar + Battery Storage

Pairing solar with a home battery lets you store the energy you produce during the day and use it when you need it most. That means backup power when the grid goes down, lower bills during peak-rate hours, and greater control over your energy future, all while maximizing your solar investment.

Backup Power During Outages

When power outages hit, whether from wildfire conditions, rolling blackouts, or storms, your battery keeps critical circuits running. Lights stay on, food stays cold, and you stay connected. It’s peace of mind when you need it most, without relying on noisy generators or fuel.

Time-of-Use & Bill Savings

California utilities charge more for electricity during peak evening hours. With battery storage, you tap into your stored solar energy instead of buying expensive grid power. That shifts your usage away from high-rate periods and can dramatically reduce your monthly bill.

Battery Options & Brands

We offer a range of battery solutions from trusted manufacturers, each backed by industry-leading warranties. Our team will help you choose the capacity and features that match your home’s needs and your budget.

EV Chargers

Charge your electric vehicle at home quickly, safely, and conveniently. We integrate EV chargers with your solar system and main electrical panel so you can fuel up overnight using clean energy you produce yourself, cutting both gas costs and charging expenses.

Not every home’s electrical panel can handle an EV charger right out of the box. We inspect your setup, upgrade circuits or panels if needed, and ensure everything meets code and safety standards so your charger operates reliably for years.

Our Process: From Quote to Switch-On

Going solar is straightforward when you work with us. We guide you through every step, starting from your first call to the moment your system powers on. Our team coordinates permits, inspections, and utility approvals, so you’re never left wondering what comes next or stuck handling technical details on your own.

Consultation & Proposal

We start with a conversation about your energy goals and a review of your utility bills. Then we create a custom proposal showing system size, production estimates, costs, and savings. You'll see exactly what to expect before making any commitment.

Installation & Inspection

Once you approve the design, we schedule installation at a time that works for you. Our crew completes the work efficiently, keeping your home clean and safe. After installation, city and utility inspectors verify everything meets code and performance standards.

Turn-On & Long-Term Support

When your system passes final inspection, we coordinate with your utility to activate it. You'll get training on monitoring and maintenance, plus access to our support team. Our warranties cover products, performance, and workmanship. The best part is that they're all transferable if you sell your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Homeowners considering solar, batteries, or EV chargers often have similar questions. Here are the answers to the most common concerns we hear:

How Much Can I Really Save?

Most California homeowners see significant reductions in their electric bills, often 50% or more. Your actual savings depend on your current usage, rate plan, system size, and how much sunlight your roof gets. During your consultation, we'll show you personalized projections based on your bills and home.

What Happens During a Power Outage?

Solar panels alone won't keep your home running if the grid goes down—they shut off for safety reasons. But when you add battery storage, your system can power essential circuits during outages, keeping lights, refrigeration, and devices online until the grid comes back.

What Warranties Do You Offer?

We provide industry-leading manufacturer warranties on panels and inverters, plus coverage for battery and EV charger equipment. You'll also get performance guarantees and workmanship protection. Best of all, these warranties are transferable, adding value if you decide to sell your home.
