Serving Bakersfield, CA
In Bakersfield and Kern County, extreme summer heat drives heavy AC loads, so panel capacity and solar-plus-battery are central to what Charge Home Solutions installs, along with Tesla Wall Connectors and Powerwall. PG&E serves the area, and a battery stores solar to run cooling through peak-rate afternoons and any outage.
We pull the city or county permit and run a load calculation before quoting, older Westchester and Oleander homes often need a 200-amp upgrade before a 48-amp charger, while newer Seven Oaks and Rosedale builds usually have room. We install to Title 24 and handle the permit and inspection.
