SACRAMENTO / SOLAR AND BATTERY
New panels, backup power and an existing system that needs attention are different projects. Menderix helps you choose the right starting point, with the electrical equipment, utility connection and daily use considered together.

Your starting point
Start with electricity use, the available roof or land and the utility serving the address. Roof condition and upcoming electrical changes can affect the design.
Start with the installed equipment and records. Adding a battery, replacing a roof or investigating lower production can each have different compatibility and coordination requirements.
Solar generation
Design a rooftop system around the building, energy use and utility connection.

What happens after sunset
A battery’s usable energy and its power output answer different questions. One affects how much energy can be delivered; the other affects what equipment can run at the same time. Backup also requires compatible equipment that can safely operate when the grid is down.
Daily bill management is a separate goal. A battery may be scheduled around a time-of-use plan while keeping a reserve for outages. The useful arrangement depends on the actual tariff, the property’s consumption and the equipment installed.
Storage and timing

Explore serviceReview when electricity is used, when solar produces and how compatible controls can shift some loads.
Explore serviceLooking after existing solar
Solar removal and reinstallation should be coordinated with the roofing schedule. Equipment records, storage, attachment details and recommissioning belong in the plan.
A lost app connection does not necessarily mean the system stopped generating. Record when the change occurred and any visible status message before arranging solar support.
Equipment age, inverter capabilities and the utility arrangement can affect the options. Existing and new equipment should be reviewed as one system.
System support
Arrange the electrical and equipment work around a roof project.

Before you book
Here are a few details to help you plan the work. Call us if your property or equipment needs a closer look.
Usually not. Grid-connected solar normally shuts down when utility power is lost. Backup requires an appropriate system design and compatible equipment that can isolate from the grid and supply the intended loads.
Often there are options, but compatibility must be checked. The existing inverter, electrical layout, utility arrangement and backup goals influence the design and the work required.
No. SMUD, PG&E and other utility plans have their own schedules and terms, which can change. Time-of-use planning should use the rate plan shown on the property’s current account.
Savings depend on energy use, system design, the tariff, financing costs and future changes. A forecast should explain those assumptions. The same equipment can produce different financial results at different properties.
Yes, if solar equipment is on the roof. Early coordination helps define removal, equipment handling, the roofer’s work, reinstallation and the checks needed to return the system to operation.
