How It Works
Our Simple Solar Process in Solana Beach
Going solar in Solana Beach doesn't have to be complicated. Here's exactly how our process works, from first call to first kilowatt.
Free Site Assessment & Energy Review
We start by reviewing your Solana Beach property and SDG&E energy bills together. Our team evaluates your roof condition, orientation, and any shading from nearby structures, then combines that with your actual monthly usage — so every recommendation we make is grounded in real data for your specific situation.
Custom System Design for Solana Beach
Using your site data and North County Coast's consistent Mediterranean climate, our engineers design a system sized and positioned specifically for your property. We model annual production estimates, calculate your payback period, and present a fully transparent proposal with no surprises and no pressure.
Permits, Installation & SDG&E Interconnection
Our licensed C-10 and C-46 crews handle every detail — pulling permits with City of Solana Beach, scheduling inspections, installing your system to code, and filing your SDG&E interconnection agreement. You stay informed at every milestone without managing any of it yourself.
System Activation & Ongoing Local Support
Once SDG&E approves your interconnection, we commission your system and walk you through monitoring your production in real time. Our team remains your local resource for any questions, maintenance, or service needs for the full life of your installation, backed by a 25-year warranty.
