Solar in Palm Desert, California
We have been designing, installing and servicing solar across Riverside County since 1970, and Palm Desert is on the regular route. Same family, same phones, third generation.

What is actually true in Palm Desert
Most solar quotes are built on assumptions about your street. These are the details we confirm before we model anything, because getting them wrong changes every number on the last page.
Who bills you
Southern California Edison
Your rate plan, your export credit and your interconnection paperwork all come from here. We read your actual bill rather than guessing from a zip code.
Palm Desert is split between Edison and Imperial Irrigation District, and the dividing line is not published anywhere public. Confirming which utility serves your address is the first thing we do.
Who issues the permit
City of Palm Desert Building & Safety
We prepare the plan set, pull the permit and meet the inspector. Chasing City of Palm Desert Building & Safety is our job, not yours.
SolarAPP+ instant permitWhat the roofs are like
Coachella Valley
Low-slope roofs and near-year-round cooling load, in a city where the utility question genuinely has two possible answers. We check the meter before we model the savings.
What we do in town
Four reasons Palm Desert calls us.
Home solar
Engineered around your real usage, your roof and what you are planning next, not a template with your address typed into it.
Read moreBattery backup
Sized for the loads you actually want running when the power goes out, and designed together with the array rather than bolted on after.
Read moreCommercial and EPC
Design, permitting, construction and interconnection in house, up to megawatt scale, for the businesses around town.
Read moreSupport for systems we did not install
If the company that sold you solar has disappeared, we will adopt the system and keep it producing.

From your bill to your first sunny morning.
Step 1
We read your bill
Your real usage from Southern California Edison, not a regional average. This is also where we find out whether solar makes sense for you yet.
Step 2
We engineer it
Roof condition, shading, panel capacity and your future plans. Solar and battery designed together, before anyone talks about price.
Step 3
We permit it
Plan set to City of Palm Desert Building & Safety, interconnection application to Southern California Edison, inspection booked. Our paperwork, our phone calls.
Step 4
We install, then we stay
Most homes are physically complete in one to three days on site. After that we are still the ones who pick up when you call.

Questions we get here
Palm Desert, specifically.
Southern California Edison. That sets your rate plan, your export credit and the interconnection process, which is why it is the first thing we confirm off your bill instead of assuming.
City of Palm Desert Building & Safety. We prepare the plan set, pull the permit and meet the inspector, so you are not the one making phone calls or tracking down corrections.
No, and we never have. A lease or PPA hands you two bills that both escalate, a 25-year contract attached to your house, and nothing you own at the end. We do $0-down ownership financing instead.
Then we will say so. Roof age, main panel capacity and how long you plan to stay all change the answer, and we would rather lose the sale than sell you an array that has to come back off in five years.
