Solar Panel Installation in Felton, California

Yes — Felton and the surrounding San Lorenzo Valley area are a regular part of our service territory for solar panel installation. We provide professional solar installation services for residential and commercial properties throughout the community, handling everything from system design and electrical infrastructure to permitting, installation, and utility interconnection. Visit fisherelectricinc.com to learn more or schedule a consultation.

A professional site assessment is the most reliable starting point, and we conduct one for every property before making any system recommendation. For Felton homeowners, the most important variables are roof orientation, available unshaded roof area during peak sun hours, your current electricity consumption, and the condition of your electrical panel. Felton's densely forested setting means tree shading is a more significant factor here than in most other communities we serve — properties with south or west-facing roof sections that have clear sky access above the canopy can produce strong solar output, while heavily shaded properties may not be viable candidates regardless of their other characteristics. We give Felton homeowners a straightforward, honest assessment of their specific property before any recommendations are made.

Solar pricing depends on the size of the system needed to offset your electricity use, the equipment selected, the complexity and condition of your roof, and whether battery storage is included. We provide detailed, on-site proposals so the number you receive is specific to your property and energy profile. Contact us through fisherelectricinc.com to schedule a consultation.

A solar production estimate is a projection of how much electricity your system will generate over the course of a year, typically expressed in kilowatt-hours. Production estimates are calculated using your roof's orientation, tilt, and shading profile combined with historical solar irradiance data for your location — essentially, how much sunlight the area receives on average across all seasons. A well-constructed estimate for a Felton property accounts for the specific shading conditions on that roof rather than applying regional averages that don't reflect what's actually happening on your site. Production estimates are projections, not guarantees, and real-world output can vary from year to year based on weather. We present production estimates with enough detail that Felton homeowners understand the assumptions behind the numbers and can evaluate them with confidence.

NEM 3.0 is California's current net energy metering policy that governs how PG&E compensates Felton solar customers for surplus electricity their systems export to the grid. Under NEM 3.0, the rates paid for exported electricity are lower than they were under the previous NEM 2.0 structure, shifting the financial logic of solar toward maximizing self-consumption rather than maximizing export. For Felton homeowners — who often have higher electricity consumption from electric heating, well pumps, and larger rural property loads — a system sized to closely match actual usage and paired with battery storage to capture excess daytime production delivers better returns under NEM 3.0 than an oversized system built around grid export. We design every Felton solar proposal with current NEM 3.0 policy in mind.
