Unlock savings with solar.
Living in Alameda means sunshine, bay breezes, and, unfortunately, some of the highest electricity rates in the country. With PG&E prices climbing and the grid infrastructure under pressure, homeowners are turning to solar as a smarter, more stable way to power their homes.
At Citadel Roofing & Solar, we make the switch simple. Our experienced California-based team designs, installs, and supports custom solar systems that help you lower costs, reduce outages, and gain more control over your energy future.
Here’s why more and more Alameda homeowners are making the move to solar:
Producing your own energy helps you avoid peak pricing and unpredictable rate hikes.
Battery storage gives you backup power when the grid goes down, so you stay connected during storms, fires, and planned shutoffs.
Between monthly savings and tax incentives, most systems pay for themselves in just a few years.
Going solar means using less fossil fuel and more clean energy, a smart step for both your home and the planet.
Alameda residents spend about $202 a month on electricity. That’s nearly $2,500 a year going straight to the utility company. Solar lets you shift that money toward your own energy system instead. It’s a way to lower monthly costs and protect yourself from future price hikes, all while investing in your home.
A solar battery stores excess energy from your panels so you can use it when you need it most: at night, during peak rates, or when the grid goes down. It’s the best way to stay powered through California’s increasingly common blackouts.
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.
