Who to call for an off-grid or battery project in California

For an off-grid cabin or homestead, look for a pro who lists off-grid systems and battery storage — sizing a battery bank for cloudy weeks is a different skill than a grid-tied rooftop.

Doing most of the work yourself? Filter for final hookup & sign-off or DIY design review. Many jurisdictions require a licensed electrician for the utility interconnection or service-panel work even when the rest is owner-built — check your local permit office.

California homes pay about 31.2¢/kWh on average, and the state's net-metering policy grades a D on our scorecard. With weak export credit, batteries that store your own solar for evening use tend to pencil out better than exporting.
