Why Option One

Same family.Same phones. Since 1970.

Solar is a twenty-five year decision sold by an industry that mostly does not last five. The reason to care who installs it is simple: someone has to still be here in year twelve when you need them, and the number you call then should be the same one you called at the start.

Three generations

A long time to beanswering the same phone.

Most of the companies that sold solar in California ten years ago no longer exist. Here is the short version of why we still do.

1970

The doors open in the High Desert.

A family contracting business starts with an unglamorous promise: answer the phone, do the work properly, stand behind it afterwards. That promise is the one thing on this page that has never been revised.

The solar years

The work changes. The standard doesn't.

Solar arrives in Southern California and the family goes all in — not as a sales operation reselling somebody else's labour, but as a licensed contractor that engineers, permits and builds its own work with its own crews.

Today

Third generation, four counties.

The same family now serves San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and San Diego counties, with more than five thousand roofs behind it, crews on its own payroll, and the same phone number it started with.

Our goal isn't to sell you solar. Our goal is to help you own the right energy solution.

It is the sentence the whole company is organised around, and the reason we will tell you when the answer is not yet.

What that actually buys you

Four things we dothat most of them don't.

Engineering

We engineer before we quote.

Twelve months of your real usage, your roof, and whatever you told us is coming next. The design comes first and the price falls out of it — which is the only way a sentence like 'we will tell you if solar is not right for you yet' can mean anything.

Ownership

We only sell ownership.

No escalating leases and no 25-year PPAs, not once. Every route we offer ends with you owning the system outright — including our prepaid PPA, which is paid once, carries no monthly payment and no escalator, and transfers into your name at year six. Our answer to a homeowner who cannot qualify for financing is real $0-down ownership financing, or an honest not yet — never a contract that ends with you owning nothing.

Support

We support systems we didn't install.

The orphans other companies walked away from when they folded or moved on. Nothing demonstrates customer-first more plainly than showing up for work you were never paid to do, and it is how a lot of people meet us.

Longevity

We are still going to be here.

Three generations, one family, one phone number. The relationship is meant to outlive your loan, your roof and most of our competitors — because in year twelve that is the only thing that matters.

Talk to the family.

Start with the calculator if you want numbers first, or just call. Either way you will end up speaking to people who have been doing this in Southern California since 1970 and intend to still be doing it in twenty-five years.
