No More Gas Leaf Blowers


Beginning January 1st, California banned gas powered landscaping equipment and similar small engines. Enjoy the silence as people convert to electric powered leaf blowers and weed whackers. This is another great move to “electrify” California and wean our state of polluting fossil fuels. Of course, as more electrical equipment comes online, solar is the most economical and cleanest way to power it.  

.PG&E Rates Increased 29%!


Welcome to 2024 and thank you PG&E for making the decision to transition to solar so easy. PG&E raised their rates an average of 29.4% in just the past 12 months including 13% on January 1st. In the past 10 years, rates have increased almost 2.5X. And guess what? More rate increases are expected in March.


Need to offset more of your electrical use in order to further reduce your PG&E bill? SolarCraft can offer suggestions.

A Pat on Our Back


In 2016 SolarCraft became 100% employee-owned, but that did not mean debt free. We are very proud to say that on December 31st we made our last payment to the original owners of our fine company.


We are now free and clear and on to more great things for our employees, customers and community!

SolarCraft is Proud to Partner with the Following
