Our Community

Option One Solar & the Lemon Grove Community

When Lemon Grove 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 East San Diego County for over five decades, and we bring that local knowledge to every project we take on in Lemon Grove. Lemon Grove's inland position reduces marine layer exposure, increasing annual solar production compared to coastal neighbors. We understand the local climate, the SDG&E rate structure, and the City of Lemon Grove 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

How Going Solar Works in Lemon Grove

We've simplified the solar journey for Lemon Grove homeowners and businesses into four clear, manageable steps.

01

Free Site Assessment & Energy Review

We start by reviewing your Lemon Grove 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.

02

Custom System Design for Lemon Grove

Using your site data and East County's extra sunshine over coastal neighbors, 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.

03

Permits, Installation & SDG&E Interconnection

Our licensed C-10 and C-46 crews handle every detail — pulling permits with City of Lemon Grove, 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.

04

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.
