About BackUp Co.

What We Do

BackUp Co. is a free online platform that helps California homeowners quickly determine whether they qualify for solar energy programs, federal tax credits, and $0-down financing options. Our 60-second eligibility check asks a few simple questions about your home, your utility bill, and your location — no credit check required — and instantly shows you what solar programs and incentives may be available to you. We also provide a free savings calculator, a solar score quiz, educational resources about California solar policies like NEM 3.0, and city- and county-specific landing pages with localized data on solar costs, incentives, and utility providers. Our goal is to make the solar evaluation process transparent, fast, and stress-free so homeowners can make informed decisions without pressure.

Who It's For

BackUp Co. is built for California homeowners who are curious about solar energy but unsure where to start. Whether you live in Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, or a smaller town, our tools are tailored to your local utility rates, incentive programs, and net metering policies. If you own your home, pay an electric bill, and want to understand whether solar can lower your monthly costs, BackUp Co. gives you the answers you need — completely free and with no obligation. Renters and homeowners alike can use our educational resources to stay informed about California's evolving energy landscape.

Who Builds It

BackUp Co. is built and maintained by a team of energy industry enthusiasts and software developers passionate about making clean energy accessible to more California families. Our platform combines up-to-date data on utility rates, government incentives, and solar market trends with a user-friendly interface designed for everyday homeowners. We are not a solar installer or a sales company — we are an independent resource that connects informed homeowners with licensed, certified solar professionals when and if they choose to take the next step.
