Talk to Solar Installers Bay Area Homeowners Actually Trust
Nabu Energy is a CSLB-licensed (#1052356) solar, battery storage and EV charging installer based in Newark, California. Unlike most solar installers Bay Area homeowners meet, we work on zero sales commission — the person who designs your system is not paid to oversell it. Design, permitting, installation and utility coordination are all handled by our own in-house team, so there is no subcontractor handoff and no commissioned middleman between you and the engineering.
That matters most under NEM 3.0. Export rates have fallen sharply, which means the right system is no longer simply the biggest one that fits your roof — it is the one sized around your actual consumption pattern and, in most cases, paired with battery storage. A commissioned salesperson has little reason to tell you that. We do.
What Happens After You Submit the Form
- We reply within one business day to understand your goals, your roof and your current electricity usage.
- We review your roof layout, electrical panel capacity and a recent PG&E bill remotely — no site visit is needed for a first estimate.
- You receive a written system design and quote that shows how NEM 3.0 export rates and SGIP battery rebates affect your numbers. No obligation, no pressure, no follow-up sales calls.
- If you go ahead, we handle permitting, inspection and utility interconnection end to end.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I hear back? Within one business day of your inquiry. If you would rather speak to someone straight away, call (510) 737-6228 during business hours.
Do you charge for a consultation or a quote? No. The consultation, the system design and the written quote are all free, with no obligation to proceed.
What should I have ready? A recent PG&E bill and a rough idea of your monthly usage. That is genuinely enough for us to model your savings and size a system. Roof age and any planned additions — an EV, a heat pump, a pool pump — are useful too.
Are you licensed and insured? Yes — CSLB #1052356. You can verify it yourself on the Contractors State License Board website before you speak to anyone.
Do you install battery storage and EV chargers too? Yes. Our solar PV installation, battery storage, EV charging and electrical panel upgrade services are all handled by the same in-house team, which keeps responsibility in one place if anything needs attention later.
Will I need an electrical panel upgrade? Sometimes. Many older Bay Area homes run a 100A service that cannot take solar, a battery and an EV charger together. We check panel capacity as part of the design — see our electrical panel upgrade page, and we will tell you before you commit rather than after.
Can you help with commercial projects? Yes. We are among the solar installers Bay Area businesses turn to for commercial work — we design and install commercial solar and Level 2 EV charging, including permitting and utility coordination.
