We also see strong interest in battery storage additions from Winchester homeowners looking to maximize the value of their solar investment under SCE’s current rate structures.

Real feedback from Winchester homeowners we've served.
"Stopped by today to get real information about solar for my home. Alex was very straightforward with what was needed. His knowledge of solar spans over 20+years. I feel confident that his business will be the best decision my wife and I will make this year."
"ElectriCare sent 2 experienced techs to our home to troubleshoot a problem with our solar that was made by another company a few years ago. Within 1 hour, these 2 techs found and fixed 2 wiring mistakes made by the other company. ElectriCare is a great company from the office staff to the hard working techs."
"I had multiple issues with my solar system collectively and as offline for almost two years. I contacted ElectriCare and was so impressed with their responsiveness. Allen came out to my home after a couple of email exchanges with pics and to clarify the issues I had."
Common questions from Winchester homeowners about our solar services.
It depends on your current panel's capacity and age. Many homes in Winchester's older neighborhoods have 100-amp or 125-amp panels that may need upgrading to 200-amp service to safely accommodate both solar inverters and battery systems like the Tesla Powerwall or Enphase. We'll perform a load calculation during our assessment to determine if your existing panel can handle the additional equipment or if an upgrade is necessary for code compliance.
Your detached garage solar installation can absolutely power an EV charger, but the configuration depends on your setup goals and Winchester's building code requirements. Most commonly, we run a properly-sized circuit from your main panel to a subpanel in the garage that feeds both the charger and connects to the solar system, ensuring everything is on one interconnected system. This approach also makes net metering simpler with your utility provider and ensures your EV charging qualifies for time-of-use rate optimization.
Yes, time-of-use (TOU) rates can significantly benefit Winchester solar customers, especially during our hot summers when afternoon energy costs peak. By pairing your solar system with a battery backup, you can store excess power generated during the day and use it during expensive evening peak hours (typically 4-9 PM) rather than drawing from the grid. Most of our Winchester customers see 20-30% additional savings by strategically using stored solar power during these premium rate periods.
Yes, Winchester requires a separate electrical permit for EV charger installations, even if you already have permitted solar panels. The good news is that if we're adding the charger circuit as part of a solar service upgrade or repair project, we can often coordinate both permits together to streamline the inspection process. This is especially important since the charger circuit sizing must be calculated separately from your solar system's electrical load.
For detached garage runs in Winchester properties, we can typically run circuits up to 100-150 feet with proper wire sizing to minimize voltage drop. The key is using appropriately gauged wire—usually #6 or #4 AWG copper for 240V circuits depending on the distance and load requirements for your solar inverter, battery system, or EV charger. We'll calculate the exact wire size needed during your site assessment to ensure you get full power capacity and meet NEC code requirements.
