Miramonte is a foothill community in eastern Fresno County, located at approximately 3,000 feet elevation near Kings Canyon National Park, served by ZIP code 93641. The community is a mix of single-family homes and rural properties with excellent solar exposure — the elevation provides cooler temperatures than the valley floor, which improves panel efficiency and extends productive hours. Summer temperatures typically run 88–98°F, and PG&E bills for a typical Miramonte home run $180–$320 during summer months. PSPS outages are frequent during fire weather season due to Miramonte's proximity to Kings Canyon National Park transmission infrastructure. Many Miramonte properties have well pumps that stop working during outages — battery backup keeps water flowing when the grid goes down.
