January 2025, Corona, CA – In response to growing demand for sustainable energy and reliable roofing solutions, Citadel Roofing & Solar is excited to announce the opening of a new office and warehouse in Corona, California. This expansion strengthens the company’s presence in the Inland Empire region, making it easier for homeowners, homebuilders, and commercial property owners to access high-quality solar and roofing services throughout Southern California.
“We chose Corona because of its ideal location to meet the rising demand for solar energy, energy storage, and durable roofing systems,” said Dieter Folk, Citadel’s President. “As more homeowners look to reduce electricity costs, safeguard against power outages, and enhance their energy independence, we are proud to offer advanced solutions to help them achieve these goals.”
Ideal Solar Conditions in Corona
With an average of 275 sunny days each year, Corona is one of the most solar-friendly regions in California. This climate ensures that solar panels operate at peak efficiency, delivering clean, reliable energy to homes year-round. “Switching to solar has never been easier for homeowners in Southern California,” Folk continued. “Given the rising cost of electricity and frequent power outages, solar panels are a smart way to take control of energy expenses and boost energy independence.”
Solar: A Smart Investment Amid Rising Energy Costs
Electricity rates in Southern California continue to climb, making solar power increasingly attractive. Southern California Edison (SCE) currently charges local homeowners an average monthly electric bill of about $284. Over the past decade, SCE’s rates have risen three times faster than inflation, making solar installations a sound financial decision. By installing solar panels, homeowners can significantly reduce or even eliminate their electricity bills while protecting themselves from future rate increases.
Energy Independence with Battery Backup Systems
In addition to solar installations, Citadel specializes in battery backup systems that store excess solar energy for later use. These systems help ensure that homes remain powered during blackouts caused by outages, severe weather, or grid maintenance. “Frequent power outages, especially during California’s wildfire season and public safety power shutoffs, highlight the importance of battery storage,” said Folk. “Combining solar with energy storage provides homeowners with greater energy independence and protection from rising energy costs.”
Battery backup systems also allow homeowners to store electricity during off-peak hours, when utility rates are lower, and use it during peak demand periods, when rates are highest. This enables further savings by minimizing reliance on the grid.
Supporting the Local Community
The new Corona office enhances Citadel’s ability to serve both residential and commercial customers across Southern California. Through partnerships with local, regional, and national homebuilders, Citadel remains committed to delivering energy-efficient solutions that help customers save money, increase property value, and reduce their environmental impact. “Residents of Corona and the broader Southern California region are increasingly seeking energy-efficient solutions,” added Folk. “We’re here to meet that demand with tailored solar offerings that help homeowners start saving right away and prepare for tomorrow’s energy challenges.”
