Shafter solar electrician and battery backup installation FAQs
Do I need a panel upgrade to add solar?
Sometimes. It depends on your panel's bus rating and main breaker size. We check that first and explain the options, including electrical panel upgrades.
Battery or generator for backup?
Batteries are quiet, automatic and recharge from solar. Generators run longer on fuel. Some Shafter properties use both. See generator installation for the other side of the comparison.
Do you install the solar panels themselves?
Our focus is the electrical work: interconnection, batteries, panels and backup circuits. We coordinate with your solar installer, and we can pair the project with EV charger installation.
Will my solar work during an outage?
Standard grid-tied solar shuts down when the grid does. To keep power on you need a battery or other backup-capable equipment that disconnects from the grid automatically. We can add that to many existing systems.
What customers say
They installed our Level 2 charger in the garage and explained the load calculation in plain English. Clean conduit run, no mess, and the price matched the quote.
After two long outages we had a standby generator put in. They sized it properly instead of pushing the biggest unit, and showed us how the transfer switch works.
Three ceiling fans installed where there were only light fixtures before. They swapped in fan-rated boxes and balanced all three. Quiet and solid.
