Solar + storage in
Davis, CA.
Davis is one of the strongest battery-retrofit markets in Northern California. Many homeowners in the area have aging solar systems and are ready to add a Powerwall 3 or a FranklinWH unit to support NEM 3.0 self-consumption. Continuum has been installing new solar systems and battery add-ons in Davis since 2014.

WHAT DAVIS HOMEOWNERS NEED TO KNOW
Davis has one of the highest solar penetration rates in the Sacramento region. This means a significant portion of our work in the area involves battery retrofits for existing NEM 2.0 systems rather than just new installations. Here are the details specific to your location.
Sun & production
Davis averages 5.7 peak sun hours per day, which is higher than the national average and one of the stronger figures across our Yolo County service area. There are approximately 16,000 owner-occupied homes in the city, and we are active in neighborhoods such as Old North Davis, East Davis, South Davis, Willowbank, Mace Ranch, Wildhorse, and Cannery.
Your utility & rates
Davis is served by Valley Clean Energy (VCE) for electricity generation, while PG&E continues to handle delivery. Your NEM 3.0 export compensation remains the same regardless of this arrangement, although VCE true-ups may occasionally take slightly longer to credit. Battery storage remains the most effective way to maximize your savings under the Net Billing Tariff.
Battery retrofits & TOU arbitrage
Davis homeowners often choose solar for value-driven reasons, such as net-zero goals and time-of-use arbitrage, rather than wildfire concerns. The public safety power shutoff risk in this area is lower than in foothill cities. Even so, adding batteries to existing NEM 2.0 systems is a significant part of our work in Davis, and we are capable of installing these upgrades on any brand of existing inverter.
Already have solar? We add batteries to any system: Davis has many NEM 2.0 solar systems that were installed before battery storage was economically advantageous. You can now add a Powerwall 3 or a FranklinWH aPower 2 to capture NEM 3.0 self-consumption savings without needing to replace your existing panels. Continuum manages battery retrofits for any brand of existing inverter, and we will provide you with clear information on compatibility and financial returns before you commit to anything.
