— Solar in Folsom —

What Folsom homeowners need to know.

Folsom is served by PG&E, placing all new solar installations under California’s NEM 3.0 Net Billing Tariff. Battery storage is the key to maximizing savings under the current rate structure.

01

Sun & production

Folsom’s location near Folsom Lake and the lower Sierra foothills places portions of the city and surrounding areas in PG&E’s High Fire Threat District.

02

Your utility & rates

Many Folsom neighborhoods have experienced PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs in recent years. Battery storage provides automatic backup power that keeps your home running regardless of grid conditions.

03

Local energy landscape

Folsom’s premium neighborhoods — Empire Ranch, Oak Avenue Corridor, and lakeside areas — have strong solar suitability with south and west-facing roofs that produce high annual energy yields.

— Why Continuum in Folsom —

Local expertise. No shortcuts.

Continuum isn’t a national company treating Folsom as a distant market. We’re a Northern California solar company — and Sacramento / El Dorado County is our backyard. Here’s what that means for your installation:

Local advantage 01

Fire zone battery expertise

We assess every Folsom home for enhanced rebate eligibility and make sure you capture every dollar available.

Local advantage 02

High-income area system design

Folsom homes tend to be larger, with higher baseline energy usage. We right-size systems for these loads — which often means solar + 2 batteries to properly offset peak consumption and provide whole-home backup coverage.

Local advantage 03

PTO timeline expertise

PG&E’s interconnection queue can be unpredictable. Our Folsom-area experience means we know how to submit applications that move through the queue efficiently and don’t stall your project.

The Continuum difference: We’ve installed thousands of solar systems across Northern California. We know Sacramento / El Dorado County’s permit requirements, PG&E’s interconnection process, and the specific energy challenges Folsom homeowners face. That local knowledge translates directly into faster installations and better-designed systems.
