The Grid Goes Down.
Your Home Doesn't.
Solar + Battery is the
Right Move Under NEM 3.0
Under NEM 3.0, exporting power to the grid earns far less than it used to. The real savings are in self-consumption — using what you produce when it's most expensive. A home battery stores midday solar for your 4–9pm peak hours, slashing your highest-cost imports. For PG&E, SCE, and SMUD customers, the system pays back in 7–8 years with battery included.
Premium Home Battery Backup
The Tesla Powerwall 3 is our flagship backup system — paired with solar, it handles whole-home backup, TOU optimization, and PSPS outage protection automatically.
- 10-year unlimited-cycle warranty
- Seamless automatic outage switchover
- SMUD battery rebate eligible (~$4,000/unit — verify at smud.org)
- SMUD VPP: earn ~$440/year per unit enrolled

Is Your Roof
Solar-Ready?
A roof with fewer than 8–10 years of life left is the #1 reason California homeowners delay going solar. Don't let an aging roof cost you more later — removing and reinstalling a solar system to replace a roof underneath it typically runs $2,000–$5,000 and is entirely avoidable.
The smart move: Bundle your roof replacement and solar install into a single project. One crew, one timeline, no double mobilization — and your new roof is solar-ready from day one.
We work directly with Sequoia Roofing — same family of companies as our EPC installation partner. That means a truly seamless project: one point of contact, coordinated permitting, and no finger-pointing between contractors.

Real Results.
Across California.
From Napa to San Diego, homeowners are taking control of their energy bills — and their stories speak for themselves.
"No pressure, no gimmicks — just clear answers about what my bill would look like after solar. We're saving about $160 a month. Ed walked me through every step and the install was done in under 30 days."
"I was skeptical at first but the $0 down PPA was completely real. Install was done in three weeks and our first bill afterward was under $20. Wish I'd done this two years ago."
"We added a Powerwall too. During the last PSPS outage we didn't even notice the grid was down. The house ran completely normal for two full days. Best decision we've made for this home."
"Watts Home Services made getting our SGIP solar and battery system surprisingly easy. They handled everything — the paperwork, approvals, and inspections — and kept us updated the entire time. Our system was installed at no out-of-pocket cost through SGIP."
"I had a great experience with Watts Home Services for a full home energy upgrade — main panel upgrade, solar system, and battery backup. They navigated the SGIP program and handled the details so the project moved forward without headaches. Now we have backup power and are reducing our dependence on PG&E."
"They helped me with the free solar battery through SGIP. Ed is detailed with every aspect along the way and always available to answer ALL my questions. I can't wait to not fret about losing power during these crazy storms up here in Yuba County foothills."
"Main electrical panel upgrade and solar system with a Tesla Powerwall installed. Clear communication, on-time scheduling, professional workmanship, and a clean job site. They also helped us with SGIP so our Main Panel Upgrade, Solar System, and Tesla Powerwall were covered. Now we have backup power and better control of our electric costs."
"I'd been putting off going solar for 4 years. After speaking with Ed I decided to take a leap of faith. I had 26 panels, 2 Tesla batteries, and a Tesla wall charger installed — crew showed up at 8am and were done by 1:30pm. Unbelievable! These guys know how to get stuff done!"
"Ed Watts is incredibly knowledgeable about solar and home energy solutions and is the kind of professional who genuinely cares about doing what's right for his clients. You can tell he values integrity and long-term relationships over quick sales. The person you can trust to give honest advice and top-quality service."
