Battery Backup & Hybrid Solar for Baja California
Blackouts keep getting more common as CFE's aging grid strains to keep up. Our hybrid solar systems keep the refrigerator, internet and TVs running through every outage — and cut your bill while the sun shines. Saving money is great; never losing power is better. You get both.
Empowering Baja California with renewable energy
Blackouts in Baja aren't bad luck — CFE's aging lines and substations are carrying more load than they were built for, and every year the outages show it more. That's why we lead with hybrid systems: solar panels plus a hybrid inverter and batteries, engineered first to keep your home alive through every outage, and second to cut your CFE bill to the bone while the sun shines. Because saving cash on electricity is great — but having electricity to live your life is better. Our systems give you both.

Frequently asked questions
Will my lights stay on during a CFE power outage?
With a grid-tied-only system, no — panels shut off during outages for safety. With a Solar 1 hybrid inverter and battery backup, power transfers in milliseconds and your refrigerator, internet and TVs keep running automatically. Outages are only getting more common as CFE's aging infrastructure strains, which is why hybrid is our default recommendation.
How much do solar panels cost in Baja California?
A typical residential system in the Rosarito–Tijuana area runs from around $4,000 to $12,000 USD depending on your consumption and whether you add battery backup. Most homes on the DAC (high consumption) tariff recover their investment in 3–5 years. We quote for free after reviewing your CFE bill.
Do you serve American and Canadian homeowners in Baja?
Yes — a large share of our customers are US and Canadian expats in Rosarito, Playas de Tijuana and Ensenada oceanfront communities. We handle everything in English or Spanish, including CFE interconnection paperwork.
