A Potrero solar and battery system on a 1966 home in Pacifica

Get three solar quotes and they blur together: the same panels, the same battery brand, a price. We design something different. Solar, storage, your electrical panel, and the software that runs them, sized together around NEM 3.0 and the EV charger, heat pump, and induction range you will add next.

Four things that make a Potrero system different.

Every design decision is made to lower your cost over the long run.

Same upfront price as the typical Bay Area quote. Roughly double the value over the long run.

They were very straightforward - clear communication from start to finish, no surprises, install team was awesome and the product works great. The price was much less expensive than other quotes I got for solar and batteries.

Production is right where they said it would be, and we've already had a PG&E power outage where the whole-home battery backup worked flawlessly.

What it costs, and what you actually get.

We model your actual roof, your usage, and the plans you have for the home, then show you the math. One designer runs the project end to end and signs off on the install, not a salesperson who hands you to a subcontractor.

You own your system outright. Most projects pay back in 5 to 12 years, faster the more power your home uses.
