Our Community

Committed to Oceanside and North San Diego County / Coastal

Oceanside deserves a solar contractor that's as committed to this community as the residents themselves. At Option One Solar, we've been serving North San Diego County / Coastal since 1970 — and in that time, we've learned that every community has its own character, its own challenges, and its own solar potential. For Oceanside, that means beautiful coastal Mediterranean climate with gentle breezes and reliable sunshine and Oceanside's coastal position and consistent year-round sun create reliable solar production with minimal seasonal variation. Our team designs systems that are specifically optimized for local conditions, ensuring maximum production and the strongest possible return on your investment. As a licensed C-10 and C-46 contractor with over 2,500 installations completed across Southern California, we bring both the credentials and the track record to earn your trust.

How It Works

The Oceanside Solar Installation Process

Our streamlined process takes Oceanside homeowners from consultation to clean energy in as few as 6-8 weeks.

01

Free Site Assessment & Energy Review

We start by reviewing your Oceanside 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 Oceanside

Using your site data and North County Coast's reliable Mediterranean climate, 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 Oceanside, 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.
