How It Works

Our Simple Solar Process in San Bernardino

Going solar in San Bernardino doesn't have to be complicated. Here's exactly how our process works, from first call to first kilowatt.

01

Free San Bernardino Solar Consultation

We begin with an honest conversation about your goals and a thorough look at your San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino

Our engineers combine your site data with the Inland Empire's strong year-round sunshine 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 San Bernardino building permits, AHJ inspections, and SCE interconnection paperwork. Our crew installs your system cleanly and efficiently, typically completing San Bernardino 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.
