The #1 Rated Solar Power Installation Company in Northern California

At North Valley Solar, we’re proud to be a locally owned and operated company serving the Sierra Foothills, Sacramento Valley, East Bay, North Bay, and the Northern Central Valley. Our team lives and works in the same neighborhoods we install in—from Auburn and Grass Valley, to Vacaville, Antioch, Yuba City, Woodland, and beyond. That local knowledge matters. We understand the unique permitting challenges, utility rules, shade patterns, and incentive programs specific to each region—and we use that insight to make your solar experience smoother and more cost-effective.

If you’ve been hearing about California’s NEM 3.0 changes, you’re not alone. The new rules drastically reduce the value of energy sent back to the grid, which means battery storage is now essential for real savings. Our team has helped thousands of homeowners in places like Rocklin, Concord, Chico, and Fairfield design solar + battery systems that actually work under NEM 3.0. We size every system precisely—so your battery covers peak hours, your bills drop immediately, and your payback timeline stays on track.

Unlike out-of-town installers or national chains, our work is done by in-house crews who care deeply about the homes and communities they serve. We treat your roof like it’s our own—and that’s why we’ve earned hundreds of 5-star reviews from homeowners across the region. Whether you’re in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, along the ridgelines of the Sierra Foothills, or down in the East Bay suburbs, you’ll get honest advice, top-tier workmanship, and support that doesn’t disappear after installation.

Solar doesn’t have to be risky or confusing. We’ll walk you through everything—from design to permitting to PG&E activation—with clear answers and realistic expectations. With the right system design, even under NEM 3.0, you can cut your bills dramatically, generate clean energy, and gain energy independence for decades. If you’re in the Sacramento Valley, Sierra Foothills, East Bay, North Bay, or the Northern Central Valley and ready to take control of your energy future, let’s talk. We’ll show you what solar should really look like—locally built, honestly installed, and designed to last.

Don’t just take our word for it—see what real homeowners across the Sierra Foothills, Sacramento Valley, East Bay, and beyond are saying. With thousands of solar panel and battery installations under our belt, we’ve built a reputation for doing the job right and standing by our work long after install.

With hundreds of 5-star reviews, our customers consistently highlight what sets us apart: honest communication, smooth installations, properly sized systems, and real savings—even under NEM 3.0.

From Stockton to Red Bluff to Fairfield, we’ve helped families go solar with confidence—and we’ve supported them through every step, from PG&E approval to long-term maintenance.
