Our Community
Option One Solar & the Vista Community
Vista deserves a solar contractor that's as committed to this community as the residents themselves. At Option One Solar, we've been serving North San Diego County Inland 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 Vista, that means pleasant inland North County climate with warm summers and mild winters and Vista's elevated inland position and longer sunshine hours compared to coastal neighbors make it a strong solar production location. 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 Vista is backed by our comprehensive 25-year warranty and the knowledge that our team will be here for the long term.
How It Works
How Going Solar Works in Vista
We've simplified the solar journey for Vista homeowners and businesses into four clear, manageable steps.
Free Vista Solar Consultation
We begin with an honest conversation about your goals and a thorough look at your Vista property. Our team reviews your SDG&E 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 Vista
Our engineers combine your site data with North County's reliable inland 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 & SDG&E Coordination
We manage the entire process: engineering drawings, City of Vista building permits, AHJ inspections, and SDG&E interconnection paperwork. Our crew installs your system cleanly and efficiently, typically completing Vista residential projects within 1 to 3 days.
Activation, Monitoring & Long-Term Support
Once SDG&E 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.
