Solar Hookup & Battery Backup in Berkeley, CA
Many Berkeley 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.
Solar Hookup & Battery Backup services we provide in Berkeley

For a solar or battery project in Berkeley, we review your system design and panel, complete any upgrade needed, wire the inverter, battery and disconnects to spec, and select which circuits stay on during an outage. Everything is labeled, inspected and coordinated with the utility for permission to operate.
Homeowners in Berkeley and nearby Albany, Emeryville and Piedmont 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.

★★★★★Called at 11 pm with a burning smell from the panel. An electrician was at our Berkeley house within the hour, found the loose connection and had it fixed before midnight. Genuinely grateful.
★★★★★Recessed lighting in the living room and kitchen. They laid out the spacing on the ceiling first so we could see it, and the dimmers work perfectly with the LEDs. Our Berkeley home looks brand new.
