Solar Hookup & Battery Backup in Fortuna, CA
Many Fortuna 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 Fortuna and nearby Hydesville, Ferndale and Rio Dell 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.
