Solar, energy storage and roofing for Central California.
Solar, energy storage and roofing for Central California.
Living in Los Gatos means enjoying beautiful weather, stunning hillside views, and, unfortunately, some of California’s steepest electricity rates. While you can’t control PG&E’s pricing decisions, you can take control of how you power your home.
At Citadel Roofing & Solar, we help Los Gatos homeowners turn their biggest monthly expense into their smartest long-term investment. With our custom solar solutions, you’ll generate clean energy right from your roof while protecting yourself from unpredictable rate increases for decades to come.
Lock in your electricity rate and say goodbye to bill shock during peak summer months.
Keep your home comfortable and connected during planned and unplanned outages.
Solar installations make homes more attractive to buyers, increasing resale value.
Los Gatos electricity bills average $264 per month, that’s over $3,100 a year for power you don’t own. While families across the country pay an average of $2,602 annually, Los Gatos residents are paying 22% more for the same electricity.
At 39¢ per kilowatt-hour, Los Gatos residents face some of the highest rates in the country. Over the next 25 years, assuming rates stay flat (which they won’t), you’re looking at nearly $80,000 in electricity costs.
Solar lets you redirect that money toward an asset you own instead of utility bills that provide zero return on investment.
California’s grid challenges aren’t going away. Between wildfire season shutoffs and infrastructure strain during heat waves, Los Gatos residents need backup power they can count on.
A solar battery system stores your daytime solar production for use when you need it most: during evening peak hours when rates are highest, or when the grid goes down completely. It’s energy security and savings rolled into one smart investment.
We install proven battery systems that will keep your home powered even when the lights go out for all the other houses on your street.
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.
