One Comprehensive Solution

  • All-black, 22.5% efficient, state of the art N-type silicon panels. Sleek, mounted flush to your roof for the cleanest aesthetic.

  • 29 kWh, equivalent to 2.2x Tesla Powerwall 3 

    Backup power for days, and far greater ability to earn lucrative (evening) NEM3 export credits

    A battery system capable of exporting power at very high rate (16 kW), enabling earning of maximum export credits from PG&E.

  • Our system integrates into your home electrical system such that 100% of your appliances and outlets can operate during a grid outage.

    With such a large battery system included, you’ll have backup power for days.

    The transition to backup power is automatic and instantaneous.

  • We provide an energy management service which ensures you maximize your financial outcome.

    With the complexity of NEM3, it’s difficult to maximize export credits intelligently. Our software does that for you. 

    We work to earn you a passive income stream of ~$300/year in exchange for allowing us to use your system to support the grid from time to time.

    Our energy management software only manages your energy system when you're not actively controlling it for the past 24 hours. You still have total control whenever you want it. 

    You can opt out of our software operation of your system at any time. But we urge you not to! It will save you more, earn you extra income, and help us on our mission to balance the electricity grid and thus accelerate decarbonization across the state! 

  • 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)

  • Emporia Classic Level 2 EV charger. Wired for 11.5kW (48A) continuous charge rate.

    Additional cost of $1,000 (pre-tax credit)

Engineered for Return on Investment

The way to make a strong return on energy investments in your home in California’s new “NEM3” billing environment is to go big on battery. Its all about the battery. Our competitors will recommend just enough battery to serve your average daily consumption, but this leave a lot of value on the table. We help our customers earn much higher returns on their energy investments by installing a larger, more powerful battery system.

"My husband and I have wanted to get solar power for years as a first step on our electrification journey and my husband was referred to Potrero Energy by a friend. They gave us a surprisingly great price and 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. So far, I really enjoyed working with the Potrero Energy team to design our system and I am excited to get our panels and batteries installed and operating!" - Bill Wurz, Homeowner

"I've looked into solar energy numerous times over the years, but it never made financial sense — 10+ years to break even? No thanks. But after another painful 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. That's when I discovered Potrero. A payback period of just five years? Unheard of! They've figured out a way to drastically cut my payments to PG&E and bring in extra income on the side. It was a no-brainer. So far, everything's been great, and I couldn't be happier with the decision!" - Manu Goyal, Homeowner

"5 year payback period? Sold. I did 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 Solar was an easy and economical decision for us. Their revenue share component made our decision super clear, and we're confident we'll break even in under five years. (So much better than living by PGE's whims.) The team took great care of us throughout the process, and provided excellent planning and installation services. They also evaluated our electricity usage over the past year and gave us detailed calculations on how much we would export to the grid and save over the coming years. Everything was handled seamlessly across the board. It's also so nice to work with a more boutique, human company — and one that requested feedback at every step." - Evan Purcell, Homeowner

"Potrero Energy has an excellent team" - Robert Cross, Advisor
