Our Community
Proudly Serving the Colton Community
When Colton homeowners and business owners choose solar, they deserve a contractor who understands their community — not a national franchise operating from a call center three states away. Option One Solar has served Inland Empire for over five decades, and we bring that local knowledge to every project we take on in Colton. Colton's central Inland Empire location ensures strong solar irradiance throughout the year with predictable energy production. We understand the local climate, the SCE rate structure, and the City of Colton permitting process — all of which directly impact how we design and install your system. That local expertise means fewer surprises, smoother permitting, and a system that performs as promised. Our C-10 and C-46 licensed team handles every phase of your project, from initial consultation through design, installation, and interconnection with SCE. And because we stand behind every installation with a 25-year warranty, we're always just a call away when you need us.
How It Works
From Consultation to Clean Energy in Colton
Our proven four-step process makes going solar in Colton straightforward, transparent, and stress-free.
No-Obligation Consultation & Property Evaluation
Your first step is a free, no-pressure conversation with our team. We visit your Colton 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 Colton
No two properties are alike, and neither are our system designs. We use detailed production modeling to optimize panel placement for your Colton home or business, taking full advantage of the Inland Empire's year-round sunshine to maximize both energy output and financial return.
Installation, City of Colton Permits & SCE Coordination
From submitting permit applications to City of Colton through final inspection and SCE grid interconnection, our licensed crew manages every step. Most Colton 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.
