Option One Solar & the Orange Community

Orange deserves a solar contractor that's as committed to this community as the residents themselves. At Option One Solar, we've been serving Orange County 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 Orange, that means classic Southern California Mediterranean climate with warm sunshine and Orange's historic character and pride-of-ownership culture have created a solar market where quality and craftsmanship are valued above all else. 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

How Going Solar Works in Orange

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

01

Free Site Assessment & Energy Review

We start by reviewing your Orange property and SCE 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 Orange

Using your site data and Orange County's consistent 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 & SCE Interconnection

Our licensed C-10 and C-46 crews handle every detail — pulling permits with City of Orange, scheduling inspections, installing your system to code, and filing your SCE interconnection agreement. You stay informed at every milestone without managing any of it yourself.

04

System Activation & Ongoing Local Support

Once SCE 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.
