How It Works

Our Solar Installation Process

Every installation follows a clear sequence so you know what to expect and nothing gets missed.

01Step 1

Site and Panel Assessment

We visit your Auburn-area property to review your roof, electrical panel, and energy setup. This tells us exactly what your system will need before any work begins.

02Step 2

System Design and Permitting

We design the electrical layout for your solar system and help coordinate the necessary permits, so your installation meets local code requirements in Placer County.

03Step 3

Panel and Wiring Installation

Our licensed electricians handle the full installation, including mounting, wiring, inverter setup, and any panel upgrades your home or building needs to support the new system.

04Step 4

Inspection and Activation

After installation, we walk through everything with you, support the final inspection process, and confirm your system is operating correctly before we leave the job site.

Frequently asked

Solar Installation Questions, Answered

Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.

Q1

Do I need an electrical panel upgrade for solar?

Not always, but many older homes do. We assess your current panel during the site visit and let you know upfront if an upgrade is needed before your solar system can be safely connected.

Q2

What areas near Auburn do you serve?

We install solar panels throughout Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Lincoln, Grass Valley, Nevada City, and El Dorado Hills. If you are in the greater Placer County region, reach out and we can confirm coverage.

Q3

Who pulls the permits for the solar installation?

We handle the electrical permitting required for the installation. Depending on your project, we can also help coordinate with your solar equipment supplier or utility company during the interconnection process.

Q4

Do you also repair existing solar systems?

Yes. If your current solar system has stopped working or is underperforming, we can diagnose the electrical fault, repair wiring, replace components, and get your system back to full operation.

Q5

Can you install an off-grid solar system?

We do. Off-grid systems require careful electrical design to match your load requirements. We design and install the full electrical portion of off-grid solar setups for residential and rural properties in the Auburn area.

Q6

How long does a typical solar installation take?

Most residential solar installations are completed in one to two days once permits are in place. Larger or more complex systems, including battery storage or panel upgrades, may require additional time.

Q7

Is King Electric and Solar licensed to do solar electrical work?

Yes. Our electricians are licensed, and all solar installation work is performed to California electrical code standards. We do not subcontract the electrical portion of any project.

Q8

What is NEM 3.0, and how does it affect new solar installations?

NEM 3.0 (Net Energy Metering 3.0) is California's current net metering program, which changes how homeowners are credited for excess electricity sent back to the grid. While export compensation has changed, solar panels can still provide significant long-term energy savings—especially when paired with battery storage. Our team can explain how NEM 3.0 may impact your project and recommend the best solution for your home.

Q9

Are there tax credits or incentives available for solar installation?

Yes. Many homeowners may qualify for federal solar tax incentives through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which can help reduce the overall cost of installing a solar energy system. Incentive programs and eligibility requirements may change over time, so we'll review the latest available programs during your consultation and help determine which incentives may apply to your project.

Q10

Can I add battery storage to my solar system?

Absolutely. Battery storage systems allow you to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night, during peak utility rates, or during power outages. We can help you choose a battery solution that complements your solar system and provides greater energy independence for your home.

Q11

What is a SPAN Smart Panel, and is it compatible with solar?

A SPAN Smart Panel is an advanced electrical panel that gives homeowners greater visibility and control over their home's energy usage. When paired with solar panels and battery storage, it helps optimize energy consumption, prioritize essential circuits during outages, and maximize the efficiency of your home's electrical system. Our team can determine whether a SPAN Smart Panel is a good fit for your energy goals.

Q12

Is solar a good investment for homeowners in Auburn, CA?

For many homeowners in Auburn, CA, solar panels can help lower long-term electricity costs while increasing energy independence. The benefits depend on factors such as your home's energy usage, roof orientation, and available incentives. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your property, discuss your energy goals, and recommend a solar solution designed specifically for your home.
