How It Works
From Consultation to Clean Energy in Imperial Beach
Our proven four-step process makes going solar in Imperial Beach straightforward, transparent, and stress-free.
Free Site Assessment & Energy Review
We start by reviewing your Imperial Beach property and SDG&E energy bills together. Our team evaluates your roof condition, orientation, and any shading from nearby structures, then combines that with your actual monthly usage — so every recommendation we make is grounded in real data for your specific situation.
Custom System Design for Imperial Beach
Using your site data and the South Bay's mild coastal sunshine, our engineers design a system sized and positioned specifically for your property. We model annual production estimates, calculate your payback period, and present a fully transparent proposal with no surprises and no pressure.
Permits, Installation & SDG&E Interconnection
Our licensed C-10 and C-46 crews handle every detail — pulling permits with City of Imperial Beach, scheduling inspections, installing your system to code, and filing your SDG&E interconnection agreement. You stay informed at every milestone without managing any of it yourself.
System Activation & Ongoing Local Support
Once SDG&E approves your interconnection, we commission your system and walk you through monitoring your production in real time. Our team remains your local resource for any questions, maintenance, or service needs for the full life of your installation, backed by a 25-year warranty.
