Solar + storage in
Winters, CA.
Winters is a niche market with a specific profile: 14–20 kW ground-mount installations on rural properties with well pumps, and actual PSPS exposure from the LNU Complex fire in 2020. Continuum has completed several of these in Winters and is aware of all the procedures from approval to commissioning.

What Winters homeowners need to know.
Some characteristics that set Winters apart from nearby Davis or Woodland are its moderate PSPS exposure, well pumps, actual wildfire history, and rural lots. Here is what is unique to your area.
Sun & production
Winters receives an average of 5. 7 peak sun hours per day, which is higher than the national average and one of the highest numbers in our Yolo County service area. Around 2,000 owner-occupied homes are located here. Solar is active in regions such as the Main St area, Grant Ave, the Dry Creek area, and Downtown Winters. Ground-mount installations are an excellent choice for rural parcels in the Winters area when rooftops are not optimal.
Your utility & rates
Winters has one of the highest numbers in our Yolo County service area and an average of 5. 7 peak sun hours per day, which is higher than the national average. There are around 2,000 houses here that are owner-occupied. Active solar areas include the Downtown Winters, Dry Creek, Grant Ave, and Main Street regions. Ground-mount installations are an excellent choice for rural parcels across the Winters region where rooftops may not be the ideal solution.
Ground-mount & well pump loads
With one of the stronger figures in our Yolo County service region and more than the national average, Winters averages 5. 7 peak sun hours each day. Here, there are about 2,000 owner-occupied residences. Solar energy is actively used in the Dry Creek, Grant Avenue, Main Street, and Downtown Winters districts. Where rooftops are not ideal, ground-mount installations are well suited for rural parcels in the Winters region.
Rural Winters has real PSPS exposure: Rural feeders in the Winters region are more susceptible to PSPS shutoffs than metropolitan grids since the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex fire immediately damaged the area. Winter battery backup is more than just NEM 3. 0 savings; it’s a vital safeguard when PG&E turns off the electricity during periods of high fire risk. Every Winters quotation includes full outage-backup sizing from Continuum, with exact runtimes for your vital loads such as a well pump, refrigerator, and home office.
Local expertise. No shortcuts.
Continuum is not a national business that views Winters as a distant area. Since 2014, when we were known as North Valley LLC, we have been installing solar energy systems in Yolo County, which is a major service region for our Northern California solar company. Here’s what that entails for your installation:
Local advantage 01
VCE/PG&E & Yolo County rural expertise
We know Winters’ rural feeder PSPS dynamics, VCE CCA tariff structure, City of Winters and Yolo County permit processes, and the larger load profiles that define rural Winters properties.
Local advantage 02
Tesla Certified for all of Yolo County
Tesla has certified Continuum as an installer in Yolo County. FranklinWH aPower 2 and Enphase IQ are options we offer, and we often install Powerwall 3, even multi-battery configurations for well-pump backup, in Winters.
Local advantage 03
Ground-mount & large rural system capability
We have completed various 14–20 kW ground-mount installs in Winters. All structural engineering, trenching, conduit runs, and commissioning are included in the same fixed-price quotation; they are not priced separately as an expensive special project.
The Continuum difference: Winters does not have many solar businesses with experience with big rural ground-mount installations; instead, they provide a standard rooftop system, forget about the well pump load, and undersize the battery. Continuum begins by designing for your specific site and actual loads, which includes backup-power sizing that considers well pump runtime and structural engineering for ground-mount configurations.

Every Continuum installation in Winters follows the same rigorous process. One team, start to finish. No dropped handoffs, no surprises.
