Why TrueGrid Energy
Bakersfield Solar. Real Savings.
Real Simple.
No gimmicks. No fine print surprises. Just a straightforward program designed to lower what you pay for electricity — starting today.
Battery Backup Power
Stay powered when the Bakersfield grid goes down. Our battery storage systems keep your lights, appliances, and essentials running — a critical feature in areas prone to outages.
25-Year Performance Warranty
Your system, your peace of mind. Every installation comes with a comprehensive 25-year warranty covering equipment, performance, and workmanship.
No Loan. No Debt. No Lien.
This isn't a purchase or a loan — it's a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). You become your own energy source at a locked-in rate, without any financial liability attached to your home.
Storm & Outage Protection
Bakersfield's grid can be unpredictable. Battery backup combined with solar generation means you're protected when PG&E or Edison goes down in your neighborhood.
Custom-Built for Your Home
Every system is individually sized using 12 months of your actual utility data. No guesswork — just a system built to match exactly how your household uses energy.

Common Questions
Straight Answers About Bakersfield Solar
No runaround. Here's exactly how the program works.
Is residential solar really free with no upfront cost?
There's no upfront cost — if qualified, installation is completed at no charge to you. You pay a lower per-kilowatt-hour rate for the electricity your panels produce. You're not getting free solar; you're replacing your utility with a better one at a lower rate.
Is a solar PPA a loan or a purchase?
No — this is neither a loan nor a purchase. It's a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). You don't own the equipment and there's no debt attached to your home. You simply pay for the power your panels generate at a rate lower than what PG&E charges.
What happens if I sell my house?
The agreement transfers to the new homeowner as part of the home sale. Many buyers actually see it as a value-add — lower energy costs are already built in from day one.
Who installs the system? Is it legitimate?
Installations are handled by Sunrun — the largest residential solar and battery provider in the United States. TrueGrid Energy is your local Bakersfield point of contact throughout the entire process, from consultation to post-install walkthrough.
Will I still get a bill from PG&E or Edison?
You'll receive an annual true-up statement from your utility, but your day-to-day energy costs will be significantly lower. Your consultant will walk through exactly what to expect based on your actual usage data at the appointment.
Why do both homeowners need to be at the appointment?
Because this is a 25-year agreement, all decision-makers on the property need to be present to review and sign. We want to make sure everyone is comfortable and informed — no surprises after the fact.
