Going solar is a long-term investment. A few upgrades before (or alongside) your installation can lower the size of the system you need and protect your investment for decades.
1. Check your roof
Your panels will be up there for 25+ years. If your roof has less than about 10 years left, replacing it first avoids paying to remove and reinstall the panels later. We inspect every roof as part of our solar estimate. Learn about our roofing services.
2. Upgrade your attic insulation
Attic insulation is one of the fastest-payback upgrades in Southern California. A well-insulated attic keeps your home cooler, reduces AC use, and can shrink the solar system you need. See attic insulation options.
3. Evaluate your electrical panel
Older 100-amp panels may not support solar, a battery, and an EV charger together. A panel upgrade prepares your home for an all-electric future. Explore electrical services.
4. Consider a heat pump
If your AC or furnace is aging, switching to a high-efficiency heat pump and powering it with solar can dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs. Plan both together so your solar is sized for the new load. View HVAC services.
5. Plan for storage and an EV
Even if you're not buying a battery or EV today, designing for them now makes adding them later simple and affordable. Read about battery backup.
