Petaluma Solar & Battery Installation
Solar and storage for homes and businesses.
SolarCraft designs solar and battery as one system for Petaluma homes and businesses, backed by 40 years and local projects like Petaluma Public Storage.
Backup Power & Battery Storage for Petaluma Homes
As more Petaluma homeowners pair solar with battery storage, they're gaining greater control over their energy while preparing for outages and rising utility costs.
Use More of Your Solar
Battery storage lets you save excess solar energy generated during the day and use it when electricity is most valuable. This helps homeowners maximize the value of their solar investment under NEM 3.0.
Reliable Backup During Outages
When utility power is interrupted, a battery system is designed to keep essential circuits running. We help determine the right battery size and backup configuration based on what you want powered during an outage.
Installed by Local Battery Experts
We install trusted battery systems from Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, and other leading manufacturers, selecting the right solution for your home and energy goals. As a Petaluma-founded company, Enphase remains one of the industry's leading manufacturers of batteries and microinverters, and we're proud to install its technology alongside other proven solutions.
Solar and battery storage for homes in Petaluma
Every home is different, from in-town neighborhoods to the rural roads outside Petaluma, so we start with your roof or land and your PG&E usage rather than assumptions. During design, we assess roof orientation, shade, and condition, confirm that your main panel is ready for storage, and size solar and battery together based on how your home actually uses power.
For rural and ag properties, a ground-mounted array sized for the home and outbuildings is often the better option. If anything needs attention before installation, we'll flag it up front.

Petaluma solar & battery FAQ
How much does solar cost for a home in Petaluma?
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 solar for Petaluma businesses?
Yes. We design and build commercial systems sized to the building's load, like the 85 kW system at Petaluma Public Storage. We handle design, permitting, and PG&E interconnection start to finish.
Can you install ground-mount solar on a rural Petaluma property?
Yes. On dairies, ranches, and larger parcels, a ground-mounted array can be sized for the home and outbuildings and placed where the land gets the best sun exposure. We design for the whole property.
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 even the rest 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, and is there local financing?
With the Prepaid PPA you pay one discounted upfront price, with no monthly solar payments, no escalators, and no buyout, and you own the system after six years, 20-30% less. Sonoma County also offers SCEIP financing for renewable improvements, which we can walk you through.
