Whole Home Solar

To ensure that its solar solutions are the perfect fit for every household, Gold Rush Energy offers a number of creative solutions for those seeking to make a positive impact on the environment. 
 
Creative financing — With low interest rates and zero upfront costs, switching to solar can be next to effortless. (This applies for those with bad credit. If you find yourself in this situation, reach out to a representative and they will work on finding an appropriate solution.)
Tax incentives — Gold Rush Energy offers a variety of Power Purchase Agreements (PPA's) unique to each customer's needs. One option can even transfer to full ownership after just 6 years. 
Other — Further options are available depending on your circumstance. If your home is in the shade more than others or if your roof surface area is lacking, micro-inverters can help with efficiency and performance. For those who may need to replace their roof, solar tax incentives can at times help you pay for this service. If the roof on your home is made of a unique material or is a unique design, Gold Rush Energy will work to find a way to make solar work for your home.

Custom Ground Mounted Solar Solutions

Gold Rush Energy Solutions is an excellent choice for homeowners who want their solar panels mounted somewhere other than their rooftop. It is aware that not every individual will have the same wants and needs when switching to solar. 
 
Gold Rush Energy Solutions boasts that a number of other solar companies in California who sell ground-mounted solar installation will outsource the work to Gold Rush Energy. 

Customers can also purchase pre-built packages for their RVs or boats from Gold Rush Energy’s Amazon storefront. 
 
Additionally, Gold Rush Energy offers elevated ground-mount solar installations. This installation allows homeowners to park cars or store items under the ground-mount.

Home Resiliency Packages

Gold Rush Energy wants to ensure that you are able to store the energy that your home solar solution generates safely to ensure that you are never left in the dark. With rolling blackouts common throughout the state of California (where services are currently available) Gold Rush Energy suggests that you invest in a battery or a generator. 

Battery — If you decide to use a battery as your solution, you will want to meet with a staff member so they can help you find the perfect battery for your system. Gold Rush Energy offers a wide variety of batteries including Lithium Iron, NMC, and Partially Charged Carbon for both off-grid and grid-tied installations. 
Generator — If you plan on using a generator, Gold Rush Energy suggests that you find one that can tap into your gas line. This variety is usually the most affordable. They are also a safe option as they turn off automatically when needed and require very little maintenance.

Do-It-Yourself Solar

Unlike other solar companies, Gold Rush Energy Solutions encourages and applauds those who choose to attempt to install their own solar power systems. However, the company is willing to help customers in whatever capacity they need. 

If homeowners want to put solar panels on their homes without paying an installer, customers can buy a variety of necessary equipment and hardware from Gold Rush Energy’s Amazon storefront. Or if a customer has already purchased the equipment and hardware needed, they can hire Gold Rush Energy to take over the remainder of their project.

Commercial Solar

Many business owners worry that only larger commercial properties can afford solar. That being said, the advent of a number of new financial vehicles has made solar affordable to most companies. 
 
Some of the ways that small businesses are able to save when using solar include: 

• Reduced utility costs
• No demand charges
• Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
• Federal advanced depreciation
• State straight line depreciation (10 years)
• Short-term conventional loans with 0% interest
• Long-term PACE loans with 30-year terms and low monthly payments
• Operating leases and/or Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)

Additional Services

Switching to solar does not only provide you with clean energy in your home, but can also impact other parts of your life. Gold Rush Energy helps solar users to install electric vehicle charging stations. This service can be included in your solar installation. Some of the chargers that Gold Rush Energy installs include: JuiceBox EV Charger and SolarEdge Solar/EV Charger.

• Limited Service Area

Limited Service Area

As mentioned before, Gold Rush Energy is available to residents of Northern California. While the company has plans to expand and offer the services statewide, there is no timeframe as to when that will happen. Although there are some advantages to a smaller service area, it also limits the number of customers for the company.
