Common questions from Orange homeowners about our solar services.
It depends on your existing electrical panel's capacity and available breaker slots. Many mid-century homes in Orange's Old Towne district have 100-amp or 150-amp panels that are already near capacity, which typically requires adding a sub-panel to safely support a Tesla Wall Connector's 60-amp circuit. We'll perform a load calculation during your assessment to determine if your current panel can handle the additional demand or if a sub-panel upgrade is necessary.
A NEMA 14-50 outlet is a standard 240-volt receptacle that provides up to 40 amps of charging (about 30 miles of range per hour), while a hardwired Tesla Wall Connector can deliver up to 48 amps for faster charging speeds. The Wall Connector also offers WiFi connectivity and power-sharing features if you have multiple EVs, making it ideal for Orange homeowners maximizing their solar investment with electric vehicles.
The City of Orange requires electrical permits for both NEMA 14-50 outlets and hardwired EV chargers, and inspections typically focus on proper circuit sizing, GFCI protection, and NEC compliance. The permitting process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and we handle all submissions and coordinate inspections with the Orange Building Department on your behalf.
Most residential solar systems in Orange are sized for typical household consumption and may not account for EV charging loads, which can add 300-500 kWh monthly depending on driving habits. We'll perform a comprehensive load calculation that factors in your current solar production, home energy usage, and projected EV charging needs to determine if your system requires expansion or if time-of-use charging during peak solar hours will suffice.
Many homes built in the 1950s-1970s throughout Orange have 100-amp or older 60-amp panels that lack the capacity for modern loads including EV chargers, requiring a service upgrade to 200 amps. During our initial assessment, we'll evaluate your panel age, available capacity, and conduct load calculations to determine whether you need a full panel upgrade or if a sub-panel solution will meet current Orange city codes and safely support your charging needs.
