Friant is a small community north of Fresno near Millerton Lake and Friant Dam, served by ZIP code 93626. Residential properties here are a mix of hillside homes and rural parcels with excellent south-facing roof exposure — many Friant homes sit on elevated terrain that naturally tilts toward the sun. Summer temperatures regularly hit 100–108°F, and PG&E bills for a typical Friant home run $180–$340 during peak months. The combination of strong solar production potential and high summer utility costs makes Friant one of the better ROI markets in north Fresno County. Under PG&E NEM 3.0, pairing solar with battery storage maximizes the value of your system by storing midday surplus for evening use rather than exporting it at low rates.
