Option One Solar & the Indio Community
When Indio 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 Coachella Valley for over five decades, and we bring that local knowledge to every project we take on in Indio. Indio's extreme desert sun — over 350 days annually — makes it one of the highest-producing solar locations in the entire United States. We understand the local climate, the IID rate structure, and the City of Indio 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 IID. 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
How Going Solar Works in Indio
We've simplified the solar journey for Indio homeowners and businesses into four clear, manageable steps.
Free Site Assessment & Energy Review
We start by reviewing your Indio property and IID 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 Indio
Using your site data and the Coachella Valley's 350+ annual sunny days, 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 & IID Interconnection
Our licensed C-10 and C-46 crews handle every detail — pulling permits with City of Indio, scheduling inspections, installing your system to code, and filing your IID interconnection agreement. You stay informed at every milestone without managing any of it yourself.
System Activation & Ongoing Local Support
Once IID 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.
