Our Community
Committed to Santa Ana and Orange County
Santa Ana deserves a solar contractor that's as committed to this community as the residents themselves. At Option One Solar, we've been serving Orange County since 1970 — and in that time, we've learned that every community has its own character, its own challenges, and its own solar potential. For Santa Ana, that means warm Mediterranean climate with consistent sunshine and minimal fog and Santa Ana's high population density and strong community reinvestment make solar an increasingly popular choice across its diverse neighborhoods. Our team designs systems that are specifically optimized for local conditions, ensuring maximum production and the strongest possible return on your investment. As a licensed C-10 and C-46 contractor with over 2,500 installations completed across Southern California, we bring both the credentials and the track record to earn your trust. Every project we complete in Santa Ana is backed by our comprehensive 25-year warranty and the knowledge that our team will be here for the long term.
How It Works
The Santa Ana Solar Installation Process
Our streamlined process takes Santa Ana homeowners from consultation to clean energy in as few as 6-8 weeks.
Free Santa Ana Solar Consultation
We begin with an honest conversation about your goals and a thorough look at your Santa Ana 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.
System Design Optimized for Santa Ana
Our engineers combine your site data with Orange County's consistent 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.
Installation, Permits & SCE Coordination
We manage the entire process: engineering drawings, City of Santa Ana building permits, AHJ inspections, and SCE interconnection paperwork. Our crew installs your system cleanly and efficiently, typically completing Santa Ana residential projects within 1 to 3 days.
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.
