Kerman is a small agricultural community of about 16,000 residents located 20 miles west of Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley. Served by ZIP code 93630, Kerman's residential neighborhoods are predominantly single-family homes on flat valley terrain with excellent, unobstructed sun exposure. The agricultural setting means minimal shading from neighboring structures — most Kerman roofs have clear south-facing orientation ideal for solar production. Summer temperatures in Kerman regularly hit 100–108°F, and PG&E bills for a typical home run $200–$360 during peak months. Kerman's rural character means many homes have older electrical infrastructure, but the strong solar economics make upgrades worthwhile.
