Common questions from Tollhouse homeowners about solar installation, battery backup, electrical panel upgrades, and EV chargers.
How often do PSPS outages hit Tollhouse?
Tollhouse experiences frequent PSPS events — typically 3–6 per year during fire weather season, with individual outages lasting 24–48 hours. The community sits at 2,200 feet along Tollhouse Road in the Sierra Nevada foothills, near transmission lines that PG&E shuts down during high-wind events. Battery backup is essential for Tollhouse homeowners, not optional.
What battery system is best for Tollhouse?
For Tollhouse's extended outage risk, we typically recommend Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) or a Sol-Ark hybrid system. For households with well pumps, we size the battery to cover the pump's startup surge plus 24 hours of essential loads. Two Powerwall units (27 kWh) provides coverage for most Tollhouse PSPS events.
Does solar work well at Tollhouse's elevation?
Yes. Tollhouse's 2,200-foot elevation means cooler temperatures that improve panel efficiency — panels produce closer to their rated output than they would on the valley floor. Strong production from March through October, with lower output in winter months. The foothill location provides excellent south-facing roof exposure on most properties.
Do Tollhouse properties have well pumps?
Many do. A well pump that stops during a PSPS event means no water for the household. We size battery systems specifically to cover the pump's startup surge plus essential loads for 24 hours — covering the vast majority of Tollhouse PSPS events.
What ZIP code does Tollhouse solar serve?
We serve Tollhouse ZIP code 93667, covering all of Tollhouse and surrounding eastern Fresno County foothill communities including Prather, Auberry, and Shaver Lake.
