Sol Up Reno

10/14/2026

Most people learn their solar shuts off in an outage the hard way.

If you're weighing a battery, start with one question: what would you actually want running if the power went out tonight? For some people it's the fridge and the Wi-Fi. For others it's a CPAP machine or a home office they can't afford to lose. That answer shapes everything, from battery size to which circuits get backed up.

As a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer, we'll walk you through it honestly, including when a battery isn't worth it for your home.

What's the one thing you'd keep running? Tell us below 👇

No more tax credit doesn’t mean no savings.

Switch Together is a group solar program run by Solar United Neighbors, a nonprofit. When homeowners join as a group, their combined buying power brings the price down!

How do we fit in? Sol-Up is the installer for the Southern Nevada program. It’s one of the ways we’re partnering with local programs to keep solar within reach for Nevada homeowners, even without the tax credit.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our showroom for Meet the Installer, and to Allison and the SUN team for answering questions all evening!!

*Savings vary by home and system.*

Why would a solar company teach you to vet solar companies? We got tired of meeting homeowners burned by the bad ones.

A few years back, we kept walking into homes where people had been misled by door-to-door sales pitches. So we helped start the Nevada Solar Association, a group of installers who agree to a code of ethics and have to actually be based here in Nevada. Then we took it to the Nevada Capitol and pushed for stronger solar consumer protection laws.

One tip that's not on the slides: when you get a contract, make sure the license number on it matches the company name on the Nevada State Contractors Board website. It takes two minutes, and it's one of the easiest ways to catch a problem before you sign.

Save this for when you're comparing quotes. And if you want to see how we stack up, our build-your-own-quote tool is the first link in our bio.

We could tell you why people choose Sol-Up. Or we could just let them tell you.

Three reviews, three different reasons. Getting a system fully in sync after install. A tech who wouldn't quit until the real issue was found. Over a decade of standing by the same family.

This is what "we've got you covered" actually looks like.

"But does solar even work on cloudy days?" It's one of the most common questions we get, so let's clear it up.

Short answer: yes. Your panels don't need direct sun to produce power, they just need light. Diffused sunlight, the kind you still get on an overcast day, gets converted too, just at a lower output than full sun.

That's not a workaround. It's how we design every system, around your actual weather all year, not just the sunny days.
