Our Community
Committed to Del Mar and North San Diego County / Coastal
When Del Mar 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 North San Diego County / Coastal for over five decades, and we bring that local knowledge to every project we take on in Del Mar. Del Mar's ultra-premium real estate market means solar installations here represent some of the highest value investments in San Diego County. We understand the local climate, the SDG&E rate structure, and the City of Del Mar 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 SDG&E. 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
The Del Mar Solar Installation Process
Our streamlined process takes Del Mar homeowners from consultation to clean energy in as few as 6-8 weeks.
Free Del Mar Solar Consultation
We begin with an honest conversation about your goals and a thorough look at your Del Mar property. Our team reviews your SDG&E bills, evaluates your roof and site conditions, and identifies any shading or structural factors that affect system design — before recommending a single product.
System Design Optimized for Del Mar
Our engineers combine your site data with North County Coast's year-round mild sunshine to create a custom production model for your specific property. You receive a clear proposal showing system size, estimated annual output, projected savings, and full payback timeline — all with transparent pricing from the start.
Installation, Permits & SDG&E Coordination
We manage the entire process: engineering drawings, City of Del Mar building permits, AHJ inspections, and SDG&E interconnection paperwork. Our crew installs your system cleanly and efficiently, typically completing Del Mar residential projects within 1 to 3 days.
Activation, Monitoring & Long-Term Support
Once SDG&E approves your system to operate, we activate it and walk you through your monitoring dashboard so you can track production from day one. Our team is always reachable for maintenance, service, or questions — and every installation is backed by our 25-year warranty.
