Home Battery Backup

Under California's NEM 3.0 policy, the value of solar exported to the grid dropped significantly, which means storing your own power is now where the savings live. Charge your battery during the day, then use that energy during peak rate hours instead of buying it back from the utility. You also stay powered through outages automatically. We are a certified installer for Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Batteries, and FranklinWH whole-home backup.

Roofing

Your roof protects everything underneath it, so a replacement should give you decades of confidence, not just new shingles. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a GAF Certified Roofing Contractor, we install premium roofing systems built for Central Valley heat and storms, with extended manufacturer warranties that can cover materials and labor for up to 50 years. Yahoo! Local named SunMade® the Best Roofing Company in the Central Valley in its 2025 Best in the U.S. Awards, one of only 44 roofing companies selected nationwide.

Our certified technicians repair all major solar brands including Enphase, SolarEdge, and Tesla, whether or not we installed your system, and our in-house crews handle roof repairs across Fresno and Clovis, from emergency leaks to long-term wear.

Why Choose Our Fresno Solar Company

Before moving forward with your solar installation, here are a few key factors to consider to ensure your home is a great fit for solar energy.

Sun Exposure Matters

Direct sunlight helps maximize your system’s efficiency. Shade from trees or nearby structures can affect performance, but don’t worry, our team will design the optimal solar panel layout for your home.

Roof Condition & Orientation

Your roof should be in good condition. While south- or west-facing roofs are ideal, we can install high-performing systems on a variety of roof types and slopes. We also handle roofing, so both can be addressed together.

Long-Term Solar Savings

Solar panels offer the best return when you plan to stay in your home for at least 2 years. The longer you stay, the more you save on electricity bills.

Ground-Mount & Carports

If your roof isn’t suitable for solar, we also offer ground-mounted solar systems and custom solar carports to fit your property and energy needs.

Certified & Accredited

SunMade® is Diamond Certified®, a Tesla Energy certified installer, a FranklinWH certified installer, GAF certified, a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association, BBB accredited, and Forbes recommended.

Fully In-House Crews

No subcontractors, just licensed SunMade® pros handling your solar, roofing, and electrical with precision and care.

FAQ

Have Any Questions?

How do I choose the right solar company in Fresno, CA?

Look at who actually performs the work and who stands behind it afterward. SunMade® uses no subcontractors, only licensed in-house crews handling solar, roofing, and electrical. We are the only Diamond Certified® solar company in the Central Valley, a certification that requires verified customer satisfaction, and our exclusive 25-year solar shield warranty covers all workmanship and solar penetrations.

What are the best solar financing options in Fresno and Clovis?

SunMade® offers $0 down solar loans, low-interest financing, and solar lease programs, giving Central Valley homeowners flexible, affordable paths to energy independence. We also offer cash purchase and PPA arrangements.

Can I get solar with bad credit or no credit history?

We work with a variety of lenders and programs, including some with lower credit score requirements, to help more Fresno-area homeowners qualify for solar financing.

Is it better to lease or buy my solar panels in 2026?

Buying your system with cash or a loan means you own the equipment outright and keep all the electricity it produces. Leasing and PPAs offer low or no upfront cost with fixed monthly payments. The federal tax credit picture changed on January 1, 2026, so the comparison is different than it was last year. We walk you through both paths and help you decide which fits your financial goals.

Is the 30% federal solar tax credit still available?

Not for homeowners who purchase their own system. The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit under Section 25D cannot be claimed for expenditures made after December 31, 2025. The IRS treats an expenditure as made when the original installation is completed, so a system finished in 2026 does not qualify, even if the contract was signed earlier. A separate federal credit still applies to third-party owned systems such as leases and PPAs, where the system owner claims it rather than the homeowner. Talk to your tax professional about your specific situation, and ask us how it affects the financing option you are considering.

Will going solar increase my property taxes in California?

Not if your system qualifies in time. California excludes an active solar energy system from property tax reassessment, and that exclusion becomes inoperative on January 1, 2027. Under SB 710, signed in October 2025, systems that qualify before that date keep the exclusion until the home changes ownership. Because permitting and utility interconnection take time, a project needs to be started well ahead of the deadline to be complete and active in time.

How does net metering work for new solar customers in Fresno?

New solar customers of PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E are on the Net Billing Tariff, approved by the California Public Utilities Commission and commonly called NEM 3.0. Power you export to the grid is credited at avoided cost rather than at the retail rate, which makes using your own production directly, and storing what you do not use, more valuable than it was under the previous rules. This is why we discuss home battery options during your consultation.

How much can I actually save with solar in California?

Savings vary by system size and usage, but many Fresno and Clovis homeowners see immediate monthly savings and significant lifetime energy cost reductions, especially under rising utility rates. Your personalized consultation includes an assessment of your home’s energy needs so the projection reflects your actual usage.

Do you handle the permits and utility paperwork?

Yes. Once you approve your custom solar proposal, our in-house team handles everything from permitting and utility paperwork to installation and system activation.
