Under NEM 3.0, solar panels and a home battery operate as a single system, so for most Point Reyes Station properties, we design and install them together.

Electricity here only moves one way
Three forces are pushing North Bay power prices up, and they aren't slowing down.
- AI & data centers. California faces a projected ~10 GW supply shortage as new data centers come online, tightening the grid.
- Electrification. As homes move off natural gas to electric appliances and EVs, demand on the grid keeps climbing.
- NEM 3.0. Under current net-metering rules, pairing solar with a battery is what protects your savings, not panels alone.

Solar & battery FAQ for Point Reyes Station
How much do solar panels cost in Point Reyes Station?
It depends on your property's energy use, roof or land, and battery size, so there's no single sticker price. A ranch with a ground-mount array is different from a townhome. With our Prepaid PPA, many homeowners start with no monthly payments and a single discounted system price.
Do I need a battery with solar in Point Reyes Station?
For most new systems, yes, and it matters more out here. Under NEM 3.0, exported daytime solar earns far less than what you pay for grid power at night, so a battery lets you store your own energy and keep the savings, and keeps essentials running during outages. We size the two together.
Will a battery keep my home powered during an outage?
Yes. A home battery keeps your essential circuits, or the whole home, running during a power outage, which is especially valuable on rural West Marin lines. How long it lasts depends on your battery size and which circuits you back up, both of which we size to your property.
Can you design an energy-independent or off-grid-capable system?
Often, yes. For remote ranches and properties around Point Reyes Station, we design systems with enough solar and storage to lean less on the grid, and in some cases run independently. We'll assess your site and usage and recommend the right approach.
Will solar and battery increase my property's value?
Solar ownership generally adds resale value in California and typically increases property value without raising your property tax assessment.
