What is Residential Soalr?
Residential solar refers to a system of photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on a homeowner's roof or property to convert sunlight into electricity for the home.
These systems typically consist of solar panels, an inverter to convert the energy into usable AC power, and often a monitoring system to track energy production. When combined with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), residential solar can provide backup power during outages.
Investing in solar allows homeowners to significantly reduce their monthly electricity bills, achieve greater energy independence, and actively contribute to environmental sustainability, making it an intelligent long-term investment for any Sacramento Valley home.
why Backup power?
The Value of Residential Solar: Lower Costs, Greater Control, and a Smarter Energy Future
For homeowners in the Sacramento Valley, solar power offers far more than just a green statement. It's a strategic financial decision and a step towards greater energy security:
This is often the biggest motivator. By generating your own power, you reduce your reliance on volatile utility rates, turning a variable expense into a predictable investment.
Utility rates in California have consistently risen. Going solar locks in your energy costs for decades, protecting your budget from future increases.
Homes with solar panels often sell faster and at a higher price than comparable homes without them, making it a tangible asset.
While grid-tied, a solar system paired with a battery backup gives you a crucial layer of energy independence, providing power during outages when the grid goes down.
Qualified solar customers can take advantage of 100% financing with zero down and a fixed monthly payment that’s often lower than their current utility bill, protecting them from rising electricity rates.
Modernize Power helps Sacramento Valley homeowners unlock these benefits, providing custom-designed and expertly installed solar solutions that bring lasting value to your home and lifestyle.

FAQs
We Have Answers, For Your Questions!
Savings depend on system size, household energy usage, and local utility rates, but many Sacramento Valley homeowners reduce their electricity bills by 50% or more. We provide a customized savings projection tailored to your home.
The primary incentive for going solar is the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a substantial tax credit on the total cost of your system. This incentive is currently set to expire at the end of 2025, making now an ideal time to act. While California’s net metering has shifted to the Net Billing Tariff (NBT), our team guides you through the latest policies to ensure you maximize all available benefits.
Standard grid-tied solar systems shut down during a power outage to protect utility workers and equipment. However, when paired with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), your solar and battery system can continue to operate independently in islanding mode—isolating from the grid and supplying backup power to your home while keeping your solar panels producing during daylight hours.
High-quality residential solar panels are very durable and typically come with performance warranties of 25 years or more, guaranteeing a high percentage of their original power output for decades. The entire system is designed for long-term reliability.
Yes, as a C-46 Solar and C-10 Electrical Contractor, we provide comprehensive turnkey solar solutions. We manage all phases, from initial design and obtaining permits from your local jurisdiction to professional installation and utility interconnection.
Most roofs are suitable, but we perform a detailed structural and shading analysis. We'll assess your roof's condition, available space, and any obstructions to ensure optimal performance and safety. If your roof needs replacement, our Residential Roofing service can provide a solid foundation.
Yes. Modernize Power partners with providers who offer flexible financing solutions, including various loan options and lease programs, making it easier to go solar without significant upfront costs.
