More homeowners in our community are asking the same question: Is battery storage worth adding to my solar system?

For some, it's about keeping the lights on during an outage. For others, it's about using more of their own solar energy and relying less on the grid.

There's no single answer that works for everyone. What matters is finding a solution that fits your home, your lifestyle, and your priorities.

We're always happy to help our neighbors explore what's possible.

Let's Talk Battery Storage!

Need more energy? Adding more panels isn’t always the first answer.

If your electricity use has increased, it’s worth looking at the entire picture first. Your existing solar production, household consumption, rate plan, battery options, and future energy needs can all play a role.

The goal isn’t simply more solar. It’s a smarter home energy system.

Your generator is your backup plan. Make sure it’s ready before you need it.

A standby generator can sit quietly for months, but when an outage hits, you expect it to start and keep your home powered.

Routine maintenance helps keep your generator reliable, identify potential issues early, and ensure it’s prepared when the grid goes down.

Don’t wait for an outage to find out something isn’t working.

Cleaning Up Our Community, Together

We are proud to have participated in the 2026 SYRCL Cleanup, rolling up our sleeves to pick up trash, remove graffiti, and help care for the community we call home.

For us, supporting a cleaner, healthier community goes beyond renewable energy. It means getting out there, working alongside our neighbors, and caring for the environment right here at home.

A big thank you to SYRCL and everyone who came out and helped make a difference. We’re proud to be part of a community that takes action to protect the places we live, work, and enjoy.

Built for This Moment / National Co-op Month 2026

October is National Co-op Month, and this year's theme, “Built for This Moment,” feels especially relevant to who we are at Cal-Solar.

For over 25 years, we've been helping our communities take control of their energy. As a worker-owned cooperative and Certified B Corporation, we believe the way a business operates matters just as much as the work it delivers.

What does worker ownership mean for our customers and community?

Long-term accountability. We see every solar installation as the beginning of a 25-year relationship, not just a completed project. Our commitment extends well beyond installation day.

An owner's mindset. Our worker-owners have a personal stake in the quality of our work and the long-term success of the business. The people building your system are also helping shape the future of the company standing behind it.

A stronger local economy. Our cooperative model keeps ownership rooted in our workforce, supports local livelihoods, and allows us to invest in the communities we serve.

With more than 6,000 systems installed, we've learned that resilience is about more than energy independence. It's also about building businesses, relationships, and communities that last.

That's what being a cooperative means to us, and why we're proud to celebrate National Co-op Month.

Planning to make your next vehicle electric? Think about how you’ll charge it before it arrives.

Adding an EV can significantly change how and when your household uses electricity. Planning your home charging setup alongside your solar and energy needs can help create a system that works together.

Your home is an energy system. Solar, Storage, EV charging, and future electrical loads should be planned together.

Ever wonder what happens to the solar energy your home produces?

During the day, your panels generate electricity that can power your home. Depending on your system, excess energy may be sent to the grid or stored in a battery for later use.

Understanding where your energy goes is the first step toward getting more from your solar system.
