Common questions from Raymond homeowners about solar installation, battery backup, electrical panel upgrades, and EV chargers.
How often do PSPS outages hit Raymond?
Raymond experiences occasional PSPS events during fire weather season — typically 1–3 per year, with individual outages lasting 12–36 hours. The community sits at approximately 1,500 feet in western Madera County. Battery backup is recommended for households with well pumps, medical equipment, or home offices.
What battery system is best for Raymond?
For Raymond's outage risk, we typically recommend Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) or Enphase IQ Battery 5P. For households with well pumps, we size the battery to cover the pump's startup surge plus 18–24 hours of essential loads.
Does solar work well at Raymond's elevation?
Yes. Raymond's 1,500-foot elevation means cooler temperatures that improve panel efficiency. Strong production from March through October. The foothill location provides excellent south-facing roof exposure on most properties.

How does solar + battery work as an integrated system in Raymond?
In Raymond, solar + battery is a complete energy independence solution. Solar panels generate electricity during the day and eliminate your PG&E bill.
