Fairfax and San Geronimo Valley solar & battery FAQ
Will solar work on a wooded, shaded lot in Fairfax?
Often, yes, if it's designed for it. We model your roof's real sun across the day rather than guessing, and use optimizers or microinverters so shade on one panel doesn't drag down the rest. Where a roof is too shaded, we'll look at a ground-mount in a sunnier spot.
Do you serve Woodacre, San Geronimo, Lagunitas, and Forest Knolls?
Yes, we install throughout the San Geronimo Valley as well as Fairfax. We design each system to the specific roof or lot and how the home uses power.
Who handles permits in Fairfax and the valley?
We do. In Fairfax, we manage Town of Fairfax permits; in the unincorporated valley towns, we handle Marin County permits. Either way we manage the full PG&E interconnection, and SolarCraft is fully licensed (CSLB #497797) and insured.
Do I need a battery with my solar?
Will a battery keep my home powered in an outage?
A home battery is designed to keep your essential circuits (or more of the home) running during a power outage. Runtime depends on your battery size and which circuits you back up, both of which we size with you.
How does the Prepaid PPA work?
You pay one discounted upfront price, with no monthly solar payments, no escalators, and no buyout, and you own the system after six years. A commercial financing partner captures the tax incentives and passes the savings to you, up to 30%.
Will solar and battery add value to my home?
Owned solar generally adds resale value in California and typically does so without increasing your property tax assessment.
