Solar Preppers llc
Solar Preppers LLC operates as a residential solar installer based in Lake Elsinore, serving the surrounding valley with rooftop and ground-mount systems for single-family homes. The company handles the full decision path — ownership models ranging from cash purchase to solar loans, grid-tied systems with and without battery storage, and the permitting/HOA coordination that slows many installs in established neighborhoods. For Temecula-area tract homes with concrete tile roofing, a local installer familiar with tile-specific racking and the roof-replacement work that often accompanies install is a practical advantage over national sales franchises that subcontract the actual work. Homeowners weighing solar in 2024 face a fundamentally different payback equation than five years ago: California's NEM 3.0 rates (effective since 2023) have compressed the export credit, making battery backup central to maximizing self-consumption rather than optional. Solar Preppers works with customers on whether grid-tied-only makes sense, or whether adding battery storage (Powerwall, Enphase, or other LFP systems) reshapes the long-term economics. The choice hinges on a home's usage pattern, available roof space, and how much of its electricity the owner wants to source without the grid. Post-install monitoring and service calls stay in-house rather than routed through a national customer-service queue.
Izzy Does Solar
A Lake Elsinore-based residential solar installer, Izzy Does Solar works primarily on rooftop systems for single-family homes — the standard grid-tied setup where most valley homeowners start. The decision calculus for residential PV in the Temecula area centers on California's NEM 3.0 rules, which shifted payback economics significantly in 2023; battery backup (Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery) has moved from optional upgrade to practical consideration for homeowners wanting to preserve the financial case. System design, panel tier, inverter approach (microinverters vs. string), and financing structure (cash purchase, solar loan, lease) all reshape the math. Most homes here carry concrete tile roofs — a real constraint during install, since tile-replacement work adds time and cost. A local crew familiar with tile-specific racking and the permitting quirks of the area brings efficiency to that part of the job. Local installers like Izzy own the service relationship post-install, unlike national outfits (Sunrun, SunPower, Sunnova) that subcontract the maintenance calls. For homeowners comparing quotes, the difference between a Lake Elsinore operator who returns calls directly and a dispatch desk hundreds of miles away matters when a monitoring alert flags an issue or a microinverter needs attention. The long-term economics hinge on how well the installer sized the system for actual usage, positioned panels for shade, and guided the battery decision under NEM 3.0.
