Real feedback from Redlands homeowners we've served.
"Everything was great from start to finish by Eddie's team of professionals. I had installed two systems before in the past 3 years on my other properties and this was by far the smoothest and most cost effective install yet."
"Couldn't be happier with my solar system. Everything he said he was going to do in his presentation was exactly what was done, no surprises. The process was fast and simple."
"So caring and went above and beyond to come to an emergency visit at 10 o'clock at night on the weekend, walked us through mini scenarios and was very selfless and transparent great company and overall great human."
Common questions from Redlands homeowners about our solar services.
Many homes in Redlands, especially those built before 1990 in neighborhoods like Smiley Heights, may need a panel upgrade to accommodate solar. Your existing panel needs adequate breaker space and capacity to handle the solar backfeed, typically requiring a 200-amp main panel for most residential solar systems. We can assess your current panel during the initial inspection and determine if an upgrade is necessary before installation.
The amperage choice depends on your solar array size and energy needs in Redlands' high-sun environment. A 32-amp system handles up to about 7.6 kW of solar panels, while 48-amp supports larger systems up to 11.5 kW, which many Redlands homeowners choose to offset summer AC costs that spike in our 100°+ degree weather. We'll calculate your optimal amperage based on your roof space, energy bills, and future electric vehicle charging plans.
Yes, we handle all the rebate documentation and interconnection applications with Redlands Municipal Utility for you. Since RMU has specific requirements and forms that differ from SCE territory, we're experienced in navigating their process to ensure you receive any available solar incentives. This typically includes completing the net metering application and coordinating the final inspection with the city.
Hardwired systems are almost always recommended for solar battery backup in Redlands because they integrate seamlessly with your main electrical panel and can power your entire home during outages. Plug-in systems are limited in capacity and won't work with your solar panels' DC production. Given Redlands' occasional windstorms and the need for whole-home backup, hardwired provides the reliability most homeowners want.
Older homes in Redlands' historic neighborhoods often have outdated wiring, knob-and-tube systems, or insufficient grounding that must be addressed before solar installation. We'll inspect your electrical system to ensure it meets current NEC codes and can safely handle solar equipment, and we can coordinate any necessary rewiring while preserving your home's historic character. The Redlands Building Department requires all electrical work to meet modern safety standards, even in historic properties.
