Secure your home with predictable energy
Battery Storage and Solar in Sacramento, CA
Considering going solar in Sacramento?
The Sacramento, CA climate makes it an ideal spot for solar systems, with abundant sunshine expected about 78% of the year1. With such consistent sunlight, the potential for your home to generate and store its own energy is significant. While navigating future utility costs can feel uncertain for many, understanding solar panels + battery storage offers a way to establish a predictable energy bill for decades. This allows you to focus less on potential price shifts and more on what matters most to you. Plus, with battery backup, you can strategically use your stored solar power during evening hours, helping to manage costs during higher Time-of-Use (TOU) rates.
Beyond bill predictability, solar with batteries brings valuable security. As our grid infrastructure ages and extreme weather events become more common, homeowners are understandably concerned about power disruptions2. A smart home battery acts as your automatic safeguard, keeping essential power flowing. This means your home can stay protected from interruptions, food spoilage, and work delays, offering reliable comfort when the grid faces challenges.
With the advantages of predictable electricity bills, dependable backup power, and the satisfaction of a renewable energy source, a solar panel system is often a compelling solution. Of all the solar companies in Sacramento, Sunrun, America's leading home solar and battery company, is here as your trusted guide. We've had the privilege of helping over a million homeowners explore these benefits. Let's discuss your home's potential for solar power and battery backup.

FAQs
There are a lot of solar companies in Sacramento, and choosing a solar panel installation provider can feel overwhelming. Start your search by considering the factors that define the best solar companies, such as proven expertise and comprehensive warranties.

Unlike many solar companies in Sacramento, Sunrun is here to stay. As the pioneer of the solar subscription, we boast the longest track record in the industry and support over 1 million customers.
Backed by our position as the largest residential solar and storage provider in the U.S., Sunrun combines national reach with a local touch. Our local teams are expert battery and solar installers and will provide 24/7 system monitoring for all Sunrun Solar Subscription customers. If you need to sell your home, we easily transfer systems to new buyers to start them on their own solar energy journeys.

With Sunrun you’ll experience an unmatched combination of expertise, customer service, and product warranty and performance guarantees.
In Sacramento, the cost of solar installation itself can be as little as $0 down for qualifying homeowners. Just like you don’t pay a utility company to install power lines, with the Sunrun Solar Subscription, Sunrun solar installers set up your home solar system at little to no upfront cost. You then pay a fixed monthly rate for the energy your panels produce over 25 years—replacing part of your utility bill.
If you choose to purchase your home solar system, solar installer costs will depend on various factors, including the number of panels being installed, what additional equipment you select–such as a backup battery, and any applicable solar incentives you may be eligible for and can utilize. If you want a detailed cost breakdown, check out this blog article. However, the best way to understand solar costs for your situation is to meet with one of our local Sacramento solar energy consultants. A Sunrun representative will assess your home and energy usage and provide you with a customized quote.
California adopted new solar laws in 2023, making the pairing of a battery with solar panels even more important. Before these changes, you could send extra energy to the grid for a significant solar credit. Then, when you need to use energy at night, those solar credits would offset that cost. However, the solar credits have dropped by about 75% [3], so when you need to use energy at night, the cost is hardly being offset.
This is where the battery comes in. Instead of sending energy from your solar panel system to the electric grid for a tiny credit, you can store that solar energy, and use it to run your home.
Additionally, with the combination of battery backup and solar panels, you can maintain your energy usage despite increasing Sacramento outages due to extreme weather, wildfires, and high electricity demand.
