Solar Hookup & Battery Backup in Chico, CA
Many Chico 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.

For a solar or battery project in Chico, 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 Chico and nearby Durham, Hamilton City and Paradise 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.
