Connecting solar or storage means meeting both the electrical code and your utility's interconnection rules. The main panel has limits on how much power can be fed back into it, so some homes need a panel upgrade or a different connection point. Batteries need careful placement, the right clearances and a decision about which circuits they back up. We work with solar installers who want a local electrician for the tie-in, and directly with Cambridge homeowners adding a battery or backup to an existing array.
Cambridge is part of the fast-growing Madison region, where century-old homes stand a few blocks from brand-new construction. In Dane County we see everything from knob and tube in older farmhouses and foursquares to new builds that want EV charging, solar and smart controls from day one.
We provide solar electrical work throughout Cambridge and in nearby Rockdale, Lake Ripley and Deerfield.

Common questions about solar electrical work in Cambridge
Battery or generator: which is better?
A battery is silent, automatic and needs no fuel, but its runtime is limited without solar. A standby generator runs as long as it has fuel. Some homes use both.
Do you install the solar panels themselves?
Our focus is the electrical side: interconnection, service work, batteries and backup panels. We work alongside solar installers on the roof-mounted equipment.
Will my solar panels work during a power outage?
Not on their own. Grid-tied solar shuts down in an outage for safety. Adding a battery with a backup gateway lets the system keep running your essential loads.
Do I need a panel upgrade for solar in Cambridge?
Sometimes. It depends on the panel's bus rating, the main breaker and the size of the solar system. We check and explain the options.
