SOLAR INSTALLATION

How Our Madera Solar Company Can Help You

Unlock the benefits of clean energy with expert solar installation from SunMade® in Madera. Our local, licensed crews handle every detail, so you can feel confident from day one. Local expertise matters here: SunMade® knows the ins and outs of Madera’s building codes, utility requirements, and climate, which ensures your installation is done right and your system delivers maximum results. We design solar systems tailored to your home’s unique needs, maximizing energy production and savings. Most projects are completed within four to eight weeks depending on permits and inspections, and we manage the entire process. With SunMade®, you will reduce your carbon footprint, gain energy independence, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your system is backed by strong warranties and dedicated customer support. That is what you get from a Madera solar company that does its own work.

Why Choose Our Madera 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

Madera's plentiful sunshine makes it an excellent location for solar energy, and our panels are built to perform efficiently even in high temperatures. Shade from trees or nearby structures can affect performance, but our team will design the optimal solar panel layout for your home.

Roof Condition & Orientation

Your roof should be in good condition. South-facing slopes at a 15 to 40 degree pitch maximize production in the Central Valley, though we can install high-performing systems on a variety of roof types and slopes. Asphalt shingle, metal, and concrete tile all work well; wood shake and certain flat roofs need extra evaluation.

Check Your Electrical Panel

Many older homes in the area have 100-amp panels that need upgrading to 200 amps before solar can be safely installed, since the National Electrical Code requires solar to connect through a dedicated circuit. We assess this during your consultation so there are no surprises later.

Roofing And Solar Together

We evaluate your roof's load capacity, perform any necessary structural improvements, and prepare your roofing platform for seamless solar integration. If your roof needs replacement within the next ten years, coordinating both projects at once means one mobilization instead of two, a single permitting process, and unified warranty coverage across both systems.

Long-Term Solar Savings

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

Certified & Accredited

SunMade® is the Central Valley's first and only Diamond Certified roofing, solar, and electrical contractor, five years running, with a 98% Customer Loyalty and 100% Helpful Expertise rating.

OUR SERVICES

Everything Our Madera Solar Company Does for Your Home

Solar is where most Madera homeowners start, but your roof, your storage, and your system’s long-term performance matter just as much. Because we are licensed for solar, roofing, and electrical work, one team handles all of it.

Solar Installation

Slash your energy bills, increase your home's value, and secure long-term savings. We design a system tailored to your Madera home's unique needs, then handle everything in-house from custom design and permitting through installation and ongoing support. Most projects are completed within four to eight weeks depending on permits and inspections, and every install is covered by our 25-year Solar Shield Warranty.

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, which matters during wildfire-related shutoffs. 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. From the first inspection to the final nail, our own crews handle every detail with professionalism and transparency, and our certifications with Owens Corning and GAF let us offer extended manufacturer warranties covering materials and labor for up to 50 years. We also provide professional roof repair across Madera and Fresno, fixing small issues before they become costly ones.

Maintenance & Repairs

Protect the investment you have already made. Dust, pollen, bird droppings, and Central Valley air pollution can reduce panel efficiency by up to 25%, so we clean panels using safe, non-abrasive methods and spot-free deionized water. 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 from emergency leaks to long-term wear.

FAQ

Have Any Questions?

Local expertise matters. SunMade® knows the ins and outs of Madera’s building codes, utility requirements, and climate, ensuring your installation is done right and your system delivers maximum results. We are the only Diamond Certified® solar contractor based in the Central Valley, our crews are 100% in-house, and we have completed more than 5,000 projects across Central California.

The cost varies depending on your energy usage and home design. SunMade® provides free consultations to give you an accurate estimate, along with flexible financing including $0 down plans. We will also walk you through which incentives currently apply, since the federal picture changed on January 1, 2026.

Most projects are completed within four to eight weeks, depending on permits and inspections. SunMade® manages the entire process to keep things smooth and stress-free.

Absolutely. Madera’s plentiful sunshine makes it an excellent location for solar energy, and SunMade® panels are built to perform efficiently even in high temperatures.

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, and ask us how it affects the financing option you are considering.
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 Madera project needs to start well ahead of the deadline to be complete and active in time.
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.

Yes. SunMade® offers a variety of financing options, including $0 down plans, low-interest solar loans, cash purchase, and lease and PPA programs, making solar accessible for nearly every homeowner.

Possibly. The National Electrical Code requires solar installations to connect through a dedicated circuit, and many older homes in the area have 100-amp panels that need upgrading to 200 amps first. We check this during your site assessment.

Yes. SunMade® specializes in coordinating roof replacements and solar installations in one seamless project. It is more efficient, more cost-effective, and it ensures your new roof is solar-ready from day one.
