Solar + storage in
Tracy, CA.
Tracy’s Bay Area commuter profile, characterized by large homes, long summers, and multiple EVs, generates some of the highest savings on solar, battery, and EV charger installations within our entire portfolio. PG&E bills ranging from $400 to $600 per month are common in this area. Furthermore, with 5.8 peak sun hours and the availability of SolarAPP+ permitting, systems in Tracy are installed quickly and offer a faster return on investment.

What Tracy homeowners need to know.
Tracy’s commuter demographics create a distinct energy profile, typically featuring large homes with high air conditioning loads and multiple electric vehicles that charge overnight. This combination makes our solar, battery, and EV charger package one of the most financially compelling options we offer across Northern California. Here is what is specific to your location:
Sun & production
Tracy averages 5.8 peak sun hours per day, which is higher than the national average and represents one of the stronger figures across our San Joaquin County service area. There are approximately 22,000 owner-occupied homes in the city. Neighborhoods such as Mountain House, Plaza, Edgewood, Ellis, West Valley, and Kimball Estates are all active areas for our solar installations.
Your utility & rates
Tracy is served by PG&E under NEM 3.0. Because of the local commuter pattern, many homes charge one or more electric vehicles overnight, which adds significant load on top of already high summer air conditioning bills. By pairing solar, a battery, and an EV charger, you can optimize your entire energy usage. Solar power charges the battery during the day, the battery covers your evening EV charging and peak-hour loads, and your PG&E bill drops dramatically.
Fast permits & low PSPS
The City of Tracy Development Services Department is SolarAPP+ enabled, allowing residential solar permits to typically clear in about one week. This makes it one of the faster permit offices within our San Joaquin County service area. Furthermore, because Tracy has low to moderate exposure to Public Safety Power Shutoffs, your battery system serves primarily as a tool for bill savings and EV optimization rather than a necessity for wildfire backup.
Tracy’s EV + solar combo is unusually strong: For homeowners with Bay Area commutes and PG&E bills exceeding $400, adding an integrated solar, battery, and EV charger system is one of the highest-return investments you can make. Continuum designs these as a single, cohesive system rather than three separate projects bolted together. You receive one fixed price, one installation, and one PG&E interconnection process.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum is not a national company treating Tracy as a distant territory. We are a Northern California solar company, and San Joaquin County is part of our core service area. Here is what that means for your installation:
Local advantage 01
PG&E & San Joaquin County expertise
We are experts in Tracy’s SolarAPP+ permit process, PG&E interconnection timelines, and the economics of NEM 3.0. Furthermore, we design your system specifically for Tracy’s unique commuter load profile rather than relying on a generic Northern California average.
Local advantage 02
Tesla Certified for all of San Joaquin County
Continuum is a Tesla Certified Installer for San Joaquin County. We install Powerwall 3 routinely in Tracy — and the Tesla Wall Connector as part of integrated solar + battery + EV packages.
Local advantage 03
Integrated solar + battery + EV design
We design your solar, battery, and EV charger components as a single, unified system rather than providing three separate quotes. You receive one fixed price, one installation, and one interconnection process. This integration is especially valuable given the unique commuter profile of Tracy residents.
The Continuum difference: Tracy homeowners often come to us after receiving three separate quotes for solar, battery, and EV charger components. Continuum instead designs and installs all three as a single, integrated system provided at one fixed price. This approach requires only one permit application, one installation schedule, and one PG&E interconnection. Furthermore, our design optimizes all three components to work together rather than simply bolting them on separately.
