Switching to Solar Power in Santa Cruz

The sun shines on Santa Cruz roughly 262 days per year. That's significantly higher than the national average of 205 days. And sunny skies mean that solar systems in Santa Cruz can pay for themselves within about six years.

In addition to the geographic advantages, there are many state and federal rebates and tax incentives that can reduce the cost of investing in solar energy. These include DAC-SASH, SGIP, ERI, and significant property tax exclusion. With all this in mind, there's never been a better time to switch to solar.

Solar Home Battery Storage Solutions

Solar panel systems work brilliantly when the sun shines. However, they can't produce power after dark and produce less power under overcast skies. But that doesn't mean you can't use your system when the sun goes down or hides behind the clouds. Solar PV systems can charge solar batteries during the day so that you have power during the evening, during storms, and during power outages. Some of the many benefits of backup solar batteries for homes in California include:

Reliable power during blackouts
Significantly reduces carbon footprint
Reduces utility usage
Reduces reliance on the power grid

Solar Panel Brands We Install

We only recommend and install the most reliable solar panel systems available in the United States. These include:

Reasonable prices, good service
"We installed solar about two years ago using Simply Solar. We obtained three bids, but were most impressed with the service side of our initial meeting with them. It was pointed out that we needed to upgrade our electrical panel and that work/permit was included in our bid. We then needed two more panels the next year and again, friendly and professional help."

3rd year review
"Our home solar system has been great. Competitively priced, and with top quality panels, etc. They stood by commitments made at the time of sale. Their original estimated installation date was perhaps overly optimistic, but rain was a factor. Installers were respectful and cleaned up after themselves. Customer support is great. A minor early issue (with monitoring) was addressed quickly and painlessly. The estimate their engineers made for yearly output was impressively close to the KHW we get. I recommend them."
Lurah M.
Great follow up
"I have had my 37 panel system, installed by Simply Solar since 2016. They monitor and are great at checking panels and adjusting them remotely. Year 2 they added several panels at no cost. They were able to install on a steep roof with slate type shingles. A+ QUALITY PRODUCT AND INSTALLATION. Terrific customer long term support."
