Our Community
Proudly Serving the Palm Springs Community
Option One Solar has been serving Southern California communities like Palm Springs since 1970. While our headquarters is in Apple Valley, our crews, project managers, and service technicians work throughout Coachella Valley every day — and we treat every Palm Springs customer like a neighbor. When you work with us, you're not getting a call center; you're getting a dedicated team that knows your area. Palm Springs' legendary sunshine — over 350 days annually — ranks among the top solar production locations in the entire United States. That's why we take the time to design every system specifically for local conditions — sun angles, utility rate structures, and City of Palm Springs permitting requirements — rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. From a single residential rooftop to a multi-acre commercial installation, our licensed C-10 and C-46 team has the credentials and capacity to deliver. Every project comes backed by our 25-year warranty and ongoing local support.
How It Works
From Consultation to Clean Energy in Palm Springs
Our proven four-step process makes going solar in Palm Springs straightforward, transparent, and stress-free.
Free Site Assessment & Energy Review
We start by reviewing your Palm Springs 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.
Custom System Design for Palm Springs
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 & SCE Interconnection
Our licensed C-10 and C-46 crews handle every detail — pulling permits with City of Palm Springs, 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.
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.
