Solar in Riverside, California
We have been designing, installing and servicing solar across Riverside County since 1970, and Riverside is on the regular route. Same family, same phones, third generation.

What is actually true in Riverside
Most solar quotes are built on assumptions about your street. These are the details we confirm before we model anything, because getting them wrong changes every number on the last page.
Who bills you
Riverside Public Utilities
Your rate plan, your export credit and your interconnection paperwork all come from here. We read your actual bill rather than guessing from a zip code.
Riverside Public Utilities serves the entire city, so Edison rate plans and Edison interconnection rules simply do not apply here. Addresses with a Riverside mailing address outside the city limits can still be on Edison.
Who issues the permit
City of Riverside Building & Safety
We prepare the plan set, pull the permit and meet the inspector. Chasing City of Riverside Building & Safety is our job, not yours.
SolarAPP+ instant permitWhat the roofs are like
Inland Empire
A municipal utility city, which means the rate comparison and the interconnection path both look different from anywhere on Edison. Historic neighbourhoods and mature citrus also make shade a real input.
What we do in town
Four reasons Riverside calls us.
Home solar
Engineered around your real usage, your roof and what you are planning next, not a template with your address typed into it.
Read moreBattery backup
Sized for the loads you actually want running when the power goes out, and designed together with the array rather than bolted on after.
Read moreCommercial and EPC
Design, permitting, construction and interconnection in house, up to megawatt scale, for the businesses around town.
Read moreSupport for systems we did not install
If the company that sold you solar has disappeared, we will adopt the system and keep it producing.

From your bill to your first sunny morning.
Step 1
We read your bill
Your real usage from Riverside Public Utilities, not a regional average. This is also where we find out whether solar makes sense for you yet.
Step 2
We engineer it
Roof condition, shading, panel capacity and your future plans. Solar and battery designed together, before anyone talks about price.
Step 3
We permit it
Plan set to City of Riverside Building & Safety, interconnection application to Riverside Public Utilities, inspection booked. Our paperwork, our phone calls.
Step 4
We install, then we stay
Most homes are physically complete in one to three days on site. After that we are still the ones who pick up when you call.

Same crew, often the same week. If your neighbours a few minutes down the road are asking the same questions, send them here.
Questions we get here
Riverside, specifically.
Riverside Public Utilities. That sets your rate plan, your export credit and the interconnection process, which is why it is the first thing we confirm off your bill instead of assuming.
City of Riverside Building & Safety. We prepare the plan set, pull the permit and meet the inspector, so you are not the one making phone calls or tracking down corrections.
No, and we never have. A lease or PPA hands you two bills that both escalate, a 25-year contract attached to your house, and nothing you own at the end. We do $0-down ownership financing instead.
Then we will say so. Roof age, main panel capacity and how long you plan to stay all change the answer, and we would rather lose the sale than sell you an array that has to come back off in five years.
