Under NEM 3.0, solar panels and a home battery operate as a single system, so for most Marshall properties, we design and install them together.
Marshall Solar & Battery Installation
Solar and storage for the Tomales Bay shore.
SolarCraft designs solar and battery systems as one, engineered for Marshall's waterfront and hillside homes and the bay air, backed by 40 years of experience across Marin.
Solar for the Tomales Bay shore and hillsides
Marshall runs along the east shore of Tomales Bay, with homes right at the water and others climbing the hills above Highway 1. Near the bay, we use corrosion-protected racking and panels certified for coastal and marine environments, built for salt air and wind; on the hillsides, we orient panels to the roof planes that produce best and plan access on steep, narrow sites.
We confirm sun exposure, shade, and roof or site condition during design and size the system to what your property actually produces.
Reliable Solar Power Solutions in Marshall
We design solar and battery systems that help homeowners improve energy resilience, reduce reliance on utility power, and stay better prepared for outages.
Remote Coastal Homes
Marshall properties often face different energy challenges than homes closer to major population centers. We evaluate your property's location, energy usage, and solar potential to design a system that fits your needs.
Battery Backup for Grid Outages
Battery storage provides a dependable source of backup power when utility service is interrupted. We help determine the right battery capacity and backup strategy based on the circuits and appliances that matter most to your household.
Greater Energy Independence
For homeowners looking to rely less on the grid, solar and battery storage can work together to provide greater energy self-sufficiency. We install Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, and other leading battery systems, tailoring each solution to your home's energy goals and long-term reliability needs.

Marshall solar & battery FAQ
Will the salt in the air off Tomales Bay affect my solar?
We plan for it. On the shore, we use corrosion-protected racking and panels certified for coastal and marine environments, built to last in salt air and wind, the same approach we used at Point Blue in Bolinas.
Can you design an off-grid or energy-independent system in Marshall?
Often, yes. For remote shoreline and hillside properties, we size enough solar and storage to lean less on the grid, and in some cases run independently. We'll assess your site and usage first.
Will a battery keep my home running during an outage?
Yes. On this remote stretch of line, a battery stores your own solar and is designed to keep your essential circuits running when the grid goes down. Runtime depends on the battery size and circuits, which we size with you.
Do I need a battery with my solar?
Can you install ground-mount solar on a Marshall property?
Often, yes. On larger or hillside lots, a ground-mount array placed in a sunny spot can outproduce a constrained roof. We design for the whole property.
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%.
Who handles permits in Marshall?
We do. Marshall is unincorporated, so we manage Marin County permits and the full PG&E interconnection. SolarCraft is fully licensed (CSLB #497797) and insured.
