Common questions from Stratford homeowners about solar installation, battery backup, electrical panel upgrades, and EV chargers.
What ZIP code does Stratford solar serve?
We serve Stratford ZIP code 93266, covering all of Stratford and surrounding rural areas in western Kings County. Stratford is an unincorporated community — permits go through Kings County Building Department, which we handle completely.
How does Stratford's rural location affect solar decisions?
Stratford's rural character means many homes have older 100-amp electrical panels that need upgrading before solar installation. Well pumps are common — battery backup is worth serious consideration to keep your pump running during grid outages. The flat valley location means excellent, unobstructed sun exposure year-round.
Is battery backup especially important in Stratford?
Yes. Stratford's rural location means the grid is less redundant than urban areas — outages can last longer. For households with well pumps, battery backup is particularly valuable: it keeps your water supply running during outages. Under NEM 3.0, battery storage also maximizes the financial return on your solar investment.
How long does a Stratford solar installation take?
Roof installation takes 1–2 days. Permitting through Kings County Building Department typically adds 2–3 weeks. We handle all paperwork from permit application through final inspection and PG&E interconnection.
