Unlock savings with solar power.
Burlingame and Hillsborough are neighbors on the San Francisco Peninsula, known for sunny weather, beautiful homes, and, unfortunately, high electric bills. At Citadel Roofing & Solar, we help local homeowners cut energy costs, gain energy independence, and invest in their property with clean, reliable solar power.
With some of the highest electric rates in California, homeowners here can see dramatic savings from day one. Once your system pays for itself, the energy you generate is essentially free for decades to come.
Eligible homeowners can take advantage of the 30% federal tax credit, local rebates, and California’s property tax exclusion for solar. Net metering can also help you earn credits for the excess energy your system produces.
Solar helps you sidestep surprise rate increases and, when paired with a battery, keeps your essentials running during grid outages.
In competitive real estate markets like Burlingame and Hillsborough, solar is more than just a smart financial move. It can also make your home more attractive to future buyers.
There’s a reason solar makes sense in Burlingame and Hillsborough: the weather works in your favor. With over 260 sunny days a year and comfortable temperatures most of the year, your system gets the sunlight it needs to perform without being overworked by extreme heat.
Electricity rates in Burlingame and Hillsborough are among the highest in the country and they just keep climbing. Homeowners in San Mateo County are paying 20% more on their electricity bills than the average American household. Going solar helps you take control of those rising costs and start putting money back in your pocket.
How San Mateo County Compares to the National Average:
Power outages can happen with little warning, whether it’s a storm, scheduled maintenance, or unexpected strain on the grid. Without a battery, your solar panels alone won’t keep your lights on during an outage. That’s why more homeowners are adding batteries to their solar systems. A backup battery stores the extra solar energy your panels produce, so when the grid goes down, your home can stay running without interruption.
Battery storage lets you:
When it comes to solar batteries, you have options. Our top recommendations are the Tesla Powerwall 3, the FranklinWH Battery or the Enphase IQ. These batteries stand out for their performance and reliability. These batteries are all great options and deciding which one to pair with your solar system depends on your energy needs.
When comparing these batteries, it’s important to understand two key specifications:
Energy Availability: This refers to the amount of power the battery can consistently provide, measured in kilowatts (kW). A battery with enough energy availability will be able to keep most homes (and all of their appliances) running as usual, even during an outage.
Energy Storage: This is the total amount of energy the battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). A battery with a larger capacity allows homes to stay powered for longer than a battery with a smaller capacity.
All of these battery options are designed to provide sufficient continuous power and energy storage to keep most homes running efficiently even when the grid goes out or during periods of reduced solar production.
Opting for a high-quality battery like one of these will help you decrease your dependence on the grid, save money and make sure you have reliable backup power ready when you need it.
