Solar Hookup & Battery Backup in Albany, CA
Many Albany homes need electrical work before or alongside solar: an old panel that cannot accept a solar breaker, a service that needs upgrading, or a backup circuit plan for a new battery. Our electricians work with solar installers and directly with homeowners to get it done cleanly.

Everything is labeled, inspected and coordinated with the utility for permission to operate.
Homeowners in Albany and nearby El Cerrito, Berkeley and Emeryville also use us for post-install issues: breakers that trip with the inverter, batteries that will not back up the AC, or panel issues found during a solar inspection.

What Albany customers say
★★★★★We needed a Tesla charger installed before our car arrived. They handled the permit, ran the circuit cleanly through the garage and tested everything with the car. Highly recommend in Albany.
★★★★★Our restaurant lost power to the walk-in on a Saturday night. They came out fast, replaced a failed breaker and got us reopened. Saved a lot of food and a lot of stress.
