Shafter's Growing Solar Community

Shafter is one of Kern County's fastest-growing cities, and new developments like Gossamer Grove are bringing families from across California to this welcoming agricultural community northwest of Bakersfield. With that growth comes an opportunity: build your new life in Shafter with solar energy from day one.

The flat, open terrain around Shafter is ideal for solar panels. With 270+ sunny days per year, minimal tree cover, and wide-open skies over the surrounding farmland, solar systems in Shafter produce at peak efficiency. Meanwhile, PG&E rates keep climbing — making the decision to go solar easier every year.

We understand Shafter's building codes, work efficiently with the city's permitting process, and design systems that complement both the historic homes along Lerdo Highway and the modern construction in newer subdivisions. Our Bakersfield office is just a short drive south on Highway 43.
