Our Story

Sawmill Solar Electric is a Bakersfield-based, family-operated electrical and solar contracting business owned by Aaron and Margaret. After serving six years in the Navy and working in Kern County's oil fields and electrical industry, Aaron founded the company over a decade ago, earning his C-10 Electrical Contractor's license in 2010. Deeply rooted in the local community, the team brings extensive experience from years of working throughout Tulare and Kern Counties. Their approach is personal and direct, focusing on honest communication and treating every customer like family. While 80% of their work is now in solar PV system design, planning, and installation, they remain a full-service electrical contractor committed to providing quality workmanship and significant value, often at costs 20% to 50% lower than other area providers. They proudly use American-made solar panels and have served notable local clients, including the Bakersfield Jam basketball team.

FAQs

As a Bakersfield homeowner with an older electrical panel, should I be concerned about aluminum wiring or overloaded breakers?

Yes, these are common issues in our area's older homes. Aluminum wiring, used in many homes built in the 60s and 70s, can loosen at connections over time, creating fire hazards. Overloaded panels are also frequent, especially with today's higher electrical demands. Our team is experienced in diagnosing these specific local hazards. We can safely repair or replace problematic aluminum wiring and upgrade your electrical panel to a modern, higher-capacity unit that safely meets your home's needs, whether you're adding appliances, an EV charger, or preparing for solar.

Do you only install solar, or can you handle other electrical work for my home?

We are a fully licensed C-10 electrical contractor, so we handle all the electrical services a home or business needs. While solar installation makes up most of our work, our team is equally skilled in general electrical repair, panel upgrades, lighting, outlet installation, and generator services. This comprehensive expertise is actually a benefit for solar customers, as we ensure your entire electrical system, from the main panel to the circuits, is properly prepared and integrated with your new solar array.

Why do you emphasize using American-made solar panels for installations in Kern County?

We choose American-made panels for their consistent quality, reliable performance in our high-heat climate, and strong manufacturer warranties that are easier to access. For us, it's about supporting domestic manufacturing and providing our Bakersfield neighbors with a durable, long-term investment. We've found these panels withstand the intense Valley sun very well. Furthermore, our direct purchasing relationships allow us to offer these premium panels at a competitive cost, which is part of how we keep our overall project pricing significantly lower than many other local providers.
