Our Community
Committed to Chino and Inland Empire
Option One Solar has been serving Southern California communities like Chino since 1970. While our headquarters is in Apple Valley, our crews, project managers, and service technicians work throughout Inland Empire every day — and we treat every Chino customer like a neighbor. When you work with us, you're not getting a call center; you're getting a dedicated team that knows your area. Chino's location in the western Inland Empire delivers consistent sunshine with minimal coastal fog intrusion. That's why we take the time to design every system specifically for local conditions — sun angles, utility rate structures, and City of Chino permitting requirements — rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. From a single residential rooftop to a multi-acre commercial installation, our licensed C-10 and C-46 team has the credentials and capacity to deliver. Every project comes backed by our 25-year warranty and ongoing local support.
How It Works
The Chino Solar Installation Process
Our streamlined process takes Chino homeowners from consultation to clean energy in as few as 6-8 weeks.
No-Obligation Consultation & Property Evaluation
Your first step is a free, no-pressure conversation with our team. We visit your Chino property to assess your roof, shading, available space, and current SCE rate tier — giving us everything we need to design a system that actually performs as promised from day one.
Tailored Design Built Around Chino
No two properties are alike, and neither are our system designs. We use detailed production modeling to optimize panel placement for your Chino home or business, taking full advantage of the Inland Empire's consistent solar production to maximize both energy output and financial return.
Installation, City of Chino Permits & SCE Coordination
From submitting permit applications to City of Chino through final inspection and SCE grid interconnection, our licensed crew manages every step. Most Chino residential installations are physically complete in 1 to 3 days on-site.
Power On — and We Stay With You
After SCE grants permission to operate, your system goes live and starts generating clean energy immediately. We set you up with real-time monitoring, walk you through your production data, and remain available for service and support for the full life of your system.
