FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does an automatic generator transfer switch work?+
When utility power fails, the switch senses the outage, signals your generator to start, and switches your home's power in seconds without you flipping a switch.
What is net metering with PGE or Pacific Power?+
Net metering allows your solar panels to send extra electricity back to the utility grid, giving you credits on your electric bill for the power you produce.
Can I install a generator plug on my panel for a portable generator?+
Yes. We install a manual generator interlock kit and an outdoor inlet box so you can plug in a portable generator safely without dangerous backfeeding.
Do solar and battery installations require electrical permits?+
Yes. All solar and generator installations require city electrical permits and utility approvals. Empyre Electric manages all inspections directly.
