"Baker enables Southern California homeowners to generate, manage and use their power to save money, be comfortable and protect the planet. We intelligently bring together home comfort and energy solutions like solar, battery storage, roofing, EV charging, heating and air conditioning to help homeowners save money and help create a resilient and clean energy future."

"I’m so excited today. Baker Electric is completing the installation of my Tesla battery which will connect to my solar system. The entire process has been seamless. From the very beginning I received informative emails from the office keeping me up to date about required permits, process needs and what to expect next. As luck would have it, I also received a call that the workers could come to my home a day earlier than I was promised and they asked if I wanted them to start early! I knew when to anticipate their arrival and what they would need to get started on the project. Before the workers began the installation of my battery, they reviewed what the two-day process would look like and when to expect my electricity to be turned off. As they worked, they kept the work area clean, reminding me where they were in the process, and when the electricity would be off. No matter how many questions I asked, they acted like responding to me was a priority and didn’t walk away unti"

"Awesome. Lost my water supply to our home at 5:30 pm and was back on by 7:30 pm, what a relief! George is very customer focused, he knew exactly what needed to be done and had all the tools and parts to do it in the spot. I had a few responses from other providers but George happened to live close by and came to check out my problem. Thank you George! Highly recommend and I will definitely be calling Medina Plumbing when the need arises!"

"I can't say enough good things about Anderson Plumbing Heating & Air. Due to an illness in the family, my daughter was bringing her 6 year old and two year old to visit. Two days before her arrival, in the evening, we had a massive water leak in the kitchen sink. Imaging a non-working kitchen sink with 2 small boys! Not only did they come first thing the next morning, they discovered that the spray hose was broken off from the faucet: it needed replacing. Within a couple of hours, they sent a truck loaded with parts and had the faucet to match our sink exactly and had the job done by that afternoon. They saved the day! The on July 2 in the evening our kitchen sink clogged. We were having people over on the 4th. Once again, they showed up early on July 3, and found that the line needed to be cleared with a snake, which they did. They also sent over a guy who crawled under our house and discovered that the pipes were in bad shape (we had been having water back up from our washing machine from time to time for a few years). They came and replaced an extensive amount of 70 year old cast iron drain pipes for a very reasonable price. After this, we were still having some backup with our washer, and a couple of other minor problems, so the next day they came out and spent a few hours doing additional work AT NO CHARGE to get everything working properly. They have the most customer service oriented policies of any contractor I have ever used. If they do any work without a signed bid, then the work is free. They are a bit more expensive than average, but their guarantees and first class service make them my number 1 choice in San Diego County."

Solar panel installations FAQs

You can pay for solar panels out of pocket in California, but if you don’t have enough funds to cover the initial expense, it’s also possible to finance them. Homeowners often take out a home equity or personal loan to finance their solar panel installation. Alternatively, you can lease your solar panel equipment from certain providers. When you lease solar panels, you won’t be responsible for the cost of solar panel repair.

Choosing a solar installer in California is easier than in some other states. Because solar is more common in California, there are more experienced solar professionals to choose from. Make sure your solar professional is licensed, and get quotes from multiple installation companies before moving forward. Ask about their certifications and a portfolio of past work. If you have neighbors with solar panels, ask them for recommendations.

Homeowners don’t currently have to worry about property tax increases in California when they install solar panels. That’s because of the Active Solar Energy System Exclusion, approved by the California State Board of Equalization. This exclusion remains in effect until the end of 2024. At that point, if the board doesn’t extend the exclusion, homeowners may see an increase in property taxes.
