Laton is a small agricultural community in southern Fresno County, located near the Kings River between Kingsburg and Reedley. Served by ZIP code 93242, Laton's residential neighborhoods are predominantly older single-family homes on flat valley terrain surrounded by vineyards and orchards. The agricultural setting means minimal shading and excellent solar exposure — most Laton roofs have clear south-facing orientation ideal for maximum production. Summer temperatures in Laton regularly hit 100–107°F, and PG&E bills for a typical home run $200–$360 during peak cooling months. Laton's rural character and older housing stock mean that panel upgrades are common before solar installation, but the strong solar economics make the investment compelling. Homeowners in Laton who go solar typically see their summer bills drop from $280–$360 to near zero.
