Solar & Backup Power Solutions for San Jose Homes
Power outages, rising energy costs, and grid instability have changed how homeowners think about electricity. Solar and backup power systems aren’t just upgrades anymore — they’re protection.
At Dollens Electric, we help San Jose and Santa Clara County homeowners design reliable solar and backup power systems that keep lights on, food cold, and homes running when the grid goes down.
Whether you need solar repairs, battery backup, generator installation, or a hybrid system, our licensed electricians handle the entire process — safely, cleanly, and to code.
Licensed (C-10 / C-46 / B), Bonded and Insured.
