Who we help
Whether you bought equipment online, started a project and got stuck, or need a licensed contractor to finish what you started — we can help.
Homeowners Sourcing Their Own Equipment
You found a deal on panels, bought a battery direct, or ordered an EV charger online. We provide the licensed installation labor so your equipment gets installed correctly, permitted, and inspected.
DIY Builders & Owner-Builders
Owner-builders managing their own construction projects who need a licensed electrical and solar subcontractor for the solar, battery, or EV charger scope. We work under your project.
Homeowners Who Started and Got Stuck
You started the install, hit a snag, or realized the electrical work is beyond your comfort level. We step in, assess what has been done, and complete the project safely and to code.
Homeowners with Failed Inspections
Your DIY solar or electrical project failed inspection and you need a licensed contractor to correct it. We identify the deficiency, fix it, and get you through re-inspection.
Planners & Researchers
Still in the planning phase? We can review your system design before you buy equipment. A quick consultation can prevent expensive compatibility mistakes and code violations.
What we can do for you
From a single EV charger install to a full solar + battery system using your own equipment — here is what we handle.
Install Your Own Solar Panels
You sourced the panels and inverter — we handle the licensed installation. Roof penetrations, racking, panel mounting, conduit runs, inverter wiring, and utility interconnection prep. We verify your equipment meets NEC and local code before we start.
Install Your Own Battery Backup
Purchased a Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, or Franklin WH aPower? We install owner-supplied battery systems — gateway wiring, load management panel work, and commissioning.
Install Your Own EV Charger
Have a Level 2 EVSE ready to go? We install owner-supplied EV chargers — dedicated 240V circuit, conduit, breaker, and charger mounting. Permit-ready work for Fresno, Clovis, Madera, and surrounding jurisdictions.
Complete a Stalled or Partial Install
Started a DIY install and got stuck? We assess what has been done, identify what remains, and complete the installation to code. No judgment — we just finish the job right.
Fix a Failed Inspection
Failed inspection on your DIY solar or electrical project? We identify the code deficiency, correct the installation, and coordinate re-inspection. Common issues: wiring methods, labeling, grounding, conduit fill.
Permit Assistance
We can pull permits for your project in Fresno County, Madera County, and incorporated city jurisdictions. Permit requirements vary — contact us with your project details and we will advise on what is needed.
Pre-Purchase Design Review
Planning your system before you buy? We review your proposed design, flag compatibility issues, and advise on equipment selection. Catching problems before purchase saves money and avoids delays.
Main Panel Upgrade
Many DIY solar and battery projects require a panel upgrade first. We handle 100A to 200A and 200A to 400A service upgrades with permit and inspection — required for solar interconnection, battery backup, and EV charger installs on older homes.

A note on DIY solar and electrical work
In California, solar and electrical installations require permits and must be inspected by the local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction). Unpermitted work can create problems when selling your home, filing insurance claims, or connecting to the utility grid. We help DIY customers get their projects done right — permitted, inspected, and code-compliant.
