What auburn homeowners need to know.
Auburn is in PG&E territory and the surrounding Placer County foothills have a mix of standard and High Fire Threat District designations. Battery storage is critical here both for financial optimization and PSPS protection.
Sun & production
Auburn is located within PG&E’s High Fire Threat District, and nearby foothill communities have faced several Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. Given the genuine risk of outages and the area’s high electricity prices, battery storage has become a necessity rather than a choice.

Local energy landscape
Homeowners in Auburn’s semi-rural and rural areas typically use more energy than those in urban settings, due to larger properties, well pumps, and greater cooling demands. These factors make combining solar power with battery storage a particularly attractive financial option.
