Santa Rosa Solar & Battery Installation
Solar and storage, built for independence.
SolarCraft designs solar and battery systems as a single system, sized for your home, backed by 40 years of experience and projects across Santa Rosa, from rebuilt homes to the Fountaingrove Club.
Backup power and energy independence
A home battery does two jobs in Santa Rosa. Day-to-day, it stores your own solar for the evening under NEM 3.0, when exported daytime power earns far less than what you pay at night. And when the grid goes down, it's designed to keep your essential circuits, or with the right sizing, much of the home, running. How much it backs up depends on the battery size and the circuits you choose, which we size with you.
We install Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, and other leading battery systems, matched to your home.
Solar and battery storage for homes in Santa Rosa
Every home is different, from the hills of Fountaingrove to the flats of Roseland, so we start with your roof and your PG&E usage rather than assumptions.
Roof & Site Evaluation
We assess roof orientation, sun exposure, shading, and roof condition to determine the best solar layout and maximize long-term energy production.
Electrical & Battery Readiness
Before installation, we confirm your main electrical panel is ready for solar and battery storage. If upgrades are needed, we'll identify them early so there are no surprises during installation.
Designed Around Your Energy Use
Using your PG&E usage and household energy goals, we size your solar panels and battery storage together for how your home actually consumes electricity. For new construction and rebuilt homes, we integrate the system into the project from the beginning.
Where we work in Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa solar & battery FAQ
How much does solar cost for a home in Santa Rosa?
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.
Can you add battery backup for outages in Santa Rosa?
Yes. A home battery 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, so you decide how much of the home stays powered.
Can you design solar for a rebuilt or new-construction home?
Yes, and we do it often in Santa Rosa. We design the system into the project from the start, sizing solar and battery to the new home's layout and electrical plan, and coordinate with your build timeline.
Do I need a battery with my solar?
For most new systems, yes. Under NEM 3.0, exported daytime solar earns far less than grid power 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 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.
Who handles the City of Santa Rosa permit, and what about SCEIP financing?
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.
