Getting an off grid power system installed involves more than just panels and batteries. Here is how we approach each project.
We start by reviewing your property, existing electrical setup, and daily power consumption. This tells us what size system your home actually needs, not a generic estimate.
Our team puts together a system layout covering solar input, battery capacity, inverter sizing, and any generator backup, specific to your site conditions in Auburn or the surrounding region.
We handle the required permits before any work begins. Proper permitting protects you and ensures the installation meets California electrical standards.
Our licensed electricians install and wire every component, from panels and batteries to the load center, making sure connections are safe, clean, and built to last.
Before we leave, we test the full system under load and walk you through how to operate and monitor it so you feel confident using it on your own.
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
A complete off grid system typically includes solar panels, a battery bank, an inverter, a charge controller, and a load center or subpanel. Some setups also incorporate a backup generator. The exact components depend on your energy needs and property.
Q2
Yes. The Sierra Foothills region gets strong solar exposure, which makes off grid and hybrid systems very viable here. Rural parcels outside Auburn, Lincoln, and Grass Valley are common candidates, especially where utility connections are expensive or unavailable.
Q3
In most cases, yes. California requires permits for electrical work of this scope. King Electric and Solar handles the permit process as part of every installation so the system is legal, inspected, and safe.
Q4
It depends on the size of your home and how much energy you use. We assess your load before designing anything. Some customers power their entire home; others build a system that handles critical loads with generator backup for peak demand.
Q5
A grid-tied system stays connected to the utility and can sell excess power back. An off grid system operates completely independently, with no utility connection. It requires sufficient battery storage to cover periods without sun, which affects the design significantly.
Q6
Yes. Generator integration is something we do regularly. A properly wired generator provides a reliable backup when battery reserves run low, particularly useful during extended cloudy periods in the Foothills.
Q7
We serve Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Lincoln, Grass Valley, Nevada City, El Dorado Hills, and surrounding communities throughout Placer County and the broader region.
