Stay Powered, Save Money, and Prepare for California’s Fall Season

In California, fall is a time of the year that brings sunny gold afternoons, cooler evenings, and a familiar uptick in wildfires. Along with the beauty of the season come Red Flag Warnings and Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) that can leave homes without electricity. For homeowners, these realities raise an important question: how do you keep your household comfortable and secure when the grid isn’t always reliable? At Summit Technology Group, we have an answer: pairing solar power with battery storage.

In this blog, we’ll look at the seasonal challenges Californians face, explain how PSPS events work, and share why fall is the smartest time to consider solar and storage solutions that keep your home secure and powered throughout the season.

Let Us Help You Build a Reliable Energy Strategy

Solar energy and battery storage are fantastic tools for reducing reliance on the grid and living more sustainably. But even the best solar arrays have their limits. When you face cloudy weather, short winter days, or regular seasonal shifts, the amount of energy you generate can be affected. When battery reserves run low, many people worry about running out of power altogether.

Luckily, this never has to be an issue with a generator. At Summit Technology Group, we design and install complete energy systems that combine solar, battery storage, and generator backup, so your home stays powered no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.

Find Out Why Solar Power Could be the Smartest Investment for Your Home!

When people think of solar power, the first thing that comes to mind is usually lower utility bills. And it’s true: generating your own clean energy can take a big bite out of monthly expenses. But the value of solar doesn’t stop there. In the housing market, it’s also viewed as a premium home upgrade, much like a renovated kitchen or a beautifully landscaped yard. Studies show that homes with solar power often sell at a higher price and spend less time on the market.

That means when you invest in solar, you’re not just creating savings on utility costs, but you’re also building long-term value into your property. For buyers, solar represents efficiency, modern living, and a forward-thinking lifestyle. For sellers, it’s a way to stand out in a competitive real estate market. Either way, solar delivers a future-ready home that holds lasting appeal.
