Our Community
Proudly Serving the Poway Community
Option One Solar has been serving Southern California communities like Poway since 1970. While our headquarters is in Apple Valley, our crews, project managers, and service technicians work throughout North San Diego County Inland every day — and we treat every Poway 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. Poway's large residential lots, open terrain, and strong household incomes make it one of the most favorable solar markets in all of San Diego County. That's why we take the time to design every system specifically for local conditions — sun angles, utility rate structures, and City of Poway 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 Poway
Our proven four-step process makes going solar in Poway straightforward, transparent, and stress-free.
Free Poway Solar Consultation
We begin with an honest conversation about your goals and a thorough look at your Poway property. Our team reviews your SDG&E bills, evaluates your roof and site conditions, and identifies any shading or structural factors that affect system design — before recommending a single product.
System Design Optimized for Poway
Our engineers combine your site data with North County's excellent inland solar conditions to create a custom production model for your specific property. You receive a clear proposal showing system size, estimated annual output, projected savings, and full payback timeline — all with transparent pricing from the start.
Installation, Permits & SDG&E Coordination
We manage the entire process: engineering drawings, City of Poway building permits, AHJ inspections, and SDG&E interconnection paperwork. Our crew installs your system cleanly and efficiently, typically completing Poway residential projects within 1 to 3 days.
Activation, Monitoring & Long-Term Support
Once SDG&E approves your system to operate, we activate it and walk you through your monitoring dashboard so you can track production from day one. Our team is always reachable for maintenance, service, or questions — and every installation is backed by our 25-year warranty.
