What is different about going solar in San Ramon
Early SolarAPP+ city
San Ramon launched SolarAPP+ in 2022 and has fully adopted it, so most eligible rooftop systems get permits quickly.
MCE plus PG&E
San Ramon is in MCE's service area. MCE usually supplies your power and PG&E delivers it and handles interconnection.
Tile and flat roofs
Concrete tile and flat roofs are common here. Tile needs special flashing and careful handling, and flat roofs get tilted racks so the panels face the sun.
Our work around San Ramon
Two San Ramon jobs: tilted panels on a flat roof, and a pair of Tesla Powerwalls.

San Ramon solar questions
Does San Ramon use SolarAPP+?
Yes. San Ramon was one of the first Bay Area cities to launch it, in 2022, and has fully adopted it.
Can you install solar on a tile roof?
Yes. We use mounts and flashing made for tile and replace any tiles that crack. It takes more care than shingle, and we price it honestly.
Can I get two Powerwalls?
Yes. Two batteries can back up most of a home. Battery systems start from $15,000 installed, before rebates, and GoGreen financing is available.
Is Ally licensed for both solar and electrical work?
Yes. Ally Electric & Solar holds CSLB license #806465 with C-10 (electrical) and C-46 (solar) classifications. Our team has been licensed since 2002, and Ally has been in business since 2010.
