Potrero Energy

One comprehensive home energy system for Northern California homeowners.

More panels. More battery. Lower Price.

Software to earn you a passive income.

One Comprehensive Solution

  • All-black, ultra high efficiency solar panels. Sleek, mounted flush to your roof for the cleanest aesthetic. Larger array (1.5-2.0x) than other installers will manage to fit in your limited roof space.

  • It’s all about the battery. Our battery system is triple the average battery system size installed in California in 2025 (32kWh vs 10kWh).

    Bigger battery means more bill savings and a unique opportunity to earn a passive income by allowing your excess battery capacity to support the grid in times of extreme grid stress.

    Power your (entire) home without the grid for days.

  • Our software ensures the solar and battery system communicate with the EV charger, allowing for intelligent, economically optimized EV charging.

    We install the Emporia Classic Level 2 EV charger. Wired for maximum charge rate (11.5kW / 48A).

  • We provide an energy management service at no added cost. The service is driven by software we developed to increase your PG&E bill savings AND generate a passive income for you.

    With the complexity of PG&E export credits and consumption charges nowadays, it’s difficult to optimize you bill savings manually. Our software does it for you.

    In times of extreme grid stress, our software can earn you a passive income by using some of your excess battery capacity to help balance the grid.

  • We stand behind our product. We’re a small, local team that depends heavily on customer referrals. We do quality work and ensure you’re supported if issues arise.

    25 year warranty on solar panels (industry standard)

    10 year warranty on batteries and inverter (industry standard)

    10 year workmanship warranty (above and beyond industry standard of 5 years)

Engineered for Value

We’ve studied the solution space carefully and arrived at what we believe is the single best hardware and software solution for homeowners in PG&E territory. We pride ourselves on delivering this best solution with the lowest business overhead cost possible. Our aim is to provide you twice the performance at the same upfront cost.

"A surprisingly great price and (they) completed the install quickly and professionally. They were extremely respectful of our old house and went the extra mile to find the best placement for all the new equipment they installed. Everyone we interacted with was super nice, including Steve, Patrick, and his team of installers. Thanks again to Steve and his team, we are really enjoying watching our PG&E bill go almost to zero :)" - Ann G., Homeowner

"Finally a fresh perspective on home solar! They've developed a compelling fixed price business model and software / remote operation service model that allows you to monetize your solar panels and backup batteries. Seems like they've figured out a better recipe of hardware and software to make the economics work so that we can avoid PG&E's constant rate hikes." - Bill Wurz, Homeowner

"After this most recent rate hike from PG&E, I hit my breaking point. We don't use much power but somehow our bill is always $300 or more. And with plans to electrify our car, HVAC, and water heater, our future bills were looking like $600 a month or more. They've figured out a way to drastically cut my payments to PG&E and bring in some passive income for me on the side. Easily the best option I evaluated. Very happy with Potrero" - Manu Goyal, Homeowner

"Great experience. I used their financing option, interest rates were surprisingly good. Took out a 15 year loan. Was easy and the price can't be beat." - Amit Patel, Homeowner

"Potrero's revenue share component made our decision super clear, and we're confident we'll break even in under five years. The team took great care of us throughout the process. They have helped us with electrification decisions beyond solar and battery. They are very knowledgeable. Everything was handled seamlessly across the board, can't recommend enough." - Evan Purcell, Homeowner
