Our Community

Proudly Serving the Redlands Community

Option One Solar has been serving Southern California communities like Redlands since 1970. While our headquarters is in Apple Valley, our crews, project managers, and service technicians work throughout Inland Empire every day — and we treat every Redlands 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. Redlands' university town atmosphere and environmentally engaged community make it one of the fastest-growing solar markets in San Bernardino County. That's why we take the time to design every system specifically for local conditions — sun angles, utility rate structures, and City of Redlands 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 Redlands

Our proven four-step process makes going solar in Redlands straightforward, transparent, and stress-free.

01

Free Redlands Solar Consultation

We begin with an honest conversation about your goals and a thorough look at your Redlands property. Our team reviews your SCE bills, evaluates your roof and site conditions, and identifies any shading or structural factors that affect system design — before recommending a single product.

02

System Design Optimized for Redlands

Our engineers combine your site data with the Inland Empire's consistent inland sun 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.

03

Installation, Permits & SCE Coordination

We manage the entire process: engineering drawings, City of Redlands building permits, AHJ inspections, and SCE interconnection paperwork. Our crew installs your system cleanly and efficiently, typically completing Redlands residential projects within 1 to 3 days.

04

Activation, Monitoring & Long-Term Support

Once SCE 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.
