Napa Solar & Battery Installation
Solar built for Napa Valley living
SolarCraft designs solar and battery as one system, sized to your home, backed by 40 years across the valley and projects like Pine Ridge and Migration wineries.
Solar for homes in Napa
Napa runs from in-town neighborhoods near downtown to hillside lots out toward Coombsville and the valley edges, so we design each system to the property rather than a template. We start with your roof and your PG&E usage, confirm orientation, shade from oaks and ridgelines, and roof condition, check that your main panel is ready for storage, and size solar and battery together around how your home actually uses power.
If anything needs attention before installation, we flag it up front.
Backup power for homes in Napa
A home battery (Residential Battery Backup) does two jobs. Day-to-day, it stores your own solar for the evening under NEM 3.0, when the power you export during the day earns far less than what you pay after sunset. And when the grid goes down, it is designed to keep your essential circuits running, with the backup duration depending on the battery size and the circuits you choose, which we size with you.
We install Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, and Franklin systems, matched to your home.
Where we work in Napa

Napa solar & battery FAQ
How much does solar cost for a home in Napa?
It depends on your roof, your usage, and whether you add a battery, so we price each system to your home rather than quoting a flat number. With the Prepaid PPA, many homeowners pay one discounted upfront price, 20-30% less, and own the system after six years. We'll put real numbers in a written proposal.
Do you install commercial and winery solar in Napa Valley?
Yes. We've built large systems for Napa Valley wineries and businesses, including 400 kW at Duckhorn's Migration Winery and 140 kW at Pine Ridge Vineyards. Commercial systems are sized to offset a portion of a facility's electricity use, and we design each one around the building's load and its roof or land.
Can you add battery backup for outages in Napa?
Yes. A home battery (Residential Battery Backup) stores your own solar and is designed to keep your essential circuits running when the grid goes down. We size the battery to the loads you want to protect, like your refrigerator, internet, well pump, and a few lights.
Do I need a battery with my solar?
For most new systems, yes. Under NEM 3.0, the daytime power you export earns far less than what you buy back at night, so a battery lets you store your own energy for the evening, and it's designed to keep essential circuits running during an outage.
Will a battery keep my home powered in an outage?
A home battery is designed to keep your essential circuits, or with the right sizing, much 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.
Who handles the City of Napa permit and PG&E paperwork?
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 available tax incentives and passes the savings to you, 20-30%.
