Solar Installation in Taft, CA

From oil country to solar country. 275+ sunny days powering Taft's energy future.

Taft's Energy Future Starts Here

Taft knows energy. Built alongside the legendary Midway-Sunset oil field — one of the largest in the United States — this western Kern County community has powered California for over a century. Now, Solar Center by Dura-Foam is helping Taft homeowners write the next chapter in energy by switching to solar power.

With 275+ sunny days per year and the dry, clear skies of the western San Joaquin Valley, Taft is perfectly positioned for solar energy. The flat terrain around the city means panels get unobstructed sun exposure from dawn to dusk. SCE electricity rates continue to rise, and solar lets you lock in predictable, lower energy costs for decades.

Taft's affordable housing makes the economics of solar especially attractive. When your home costs less, the percentage return on a solar investment goes through the roof. Combine that with the 30% federal tax credit and our $0-down financing, and many Taft homeowners find their monthly solar payment is less than their old SCE bill — immediate savings from day one.
