Commercial Solar Built to Last. Electricians First. Solar Second.
Systems engineered for 30-year performance by licensed electricians. We manage every commercial solar project across Southern California end-to-end and stand behind our work.
Your Operating Costs Are Rising. Your Competitors' Aren't.
Every month you wait, California businesses who have gone solar gain a permanent cost advantage over your operation.
Volatile Utility Rates
California commercial electricity rates are unpredictable and trending up. Solar locks in your costs.
Demand Charge Burden
Peak demand charges can account for 30-70% of commercial bills.
Grid Demand Increasing
AI data centers and EV adoption are driving infrastructure costs ratepayers fund.
Industries We Serve
Commercial solar solutions tailored to industry-specific energy demands across Southern California.
Commercial Solar That Pays For Itself
Turn your roof, parking lot, or unused land into a revenue-generating asset that reduces operating costs for 30+ years.
Rooftop Systems
Warehouses, offices, retail spaces. Maximize unused roof space with minimal structural impact. Ideal for large flat roofs.
Carport Solar
Turn parking lots into shaded, energy-generating assets. Popular with retail centers, office parks, and hospitality.
Ground Mount
Utilize unused land for maximum energy production. Ideal for agricultural operations and industrial properties with available acreage.
Battery Storage:
A Financial Decision, Not Just Backup.
For many commercial projects, battery storage (energy storage systems, or ESS) is optional. But when your rate structure or usage pattern is right, an ESS deployment can significantly improve ROI.
Peak Shaving
Reduce demand charges by discharging during peak periods.
Load Shifting
Store midday solar generation, use it during expensive evening hours.
Export Avoidance
Capture value from excess generation instead of selling back at low rates.
We will model whether battery and ESS solutions make sense for your project. No upsell pressure.
Anyone Can Show You a Proposal.
Few Can Keep Your System Running.
Most solar failures happen years after installation. We build for 30-year performance.
Electricians First, Solar Second
Most failures come from poor electrical design, not panel defects. We are licensed C-10 contractors who understand load calculations and code compliance.
Downtime Destroys ROI
One week offline can cost more than you saved all year. We respond fast and fix problems right the first time.
30-Year+ Serviceability
Clear labeling, accessible components, proper documentation. Any qualified technician can service our systems.
We Stand Behind Our Work
Local Southern California team, local accountability. When you call, we answer. When something needs attention, we show up.

How much downtime should I expect during installation?
Minimal to none. We schedule work around your business operations and coordinate with your team to ensure zero disruption. Most commercial installations are completed without any operational downtime.
What happens if something breaks after installation?
We provide ongoing support and rapid response for any issues. Unlike many solar companies, we design our systems for 30-year+ serviceability with accessible components and clear documentation. Our in-house crews can diagnose and repair issues quickly.
How accurate are solar ROI projections?
Industry estimates often miss by 20-30% because they use generic assumptions. Our projections are based on your actual utility bills, real site conditions, and conservative performance estimates. We show you the math, not marketing promises.
Should I buy or use a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for my solar system?
Both options can make sense depending on your goals. Ownership typically delivers the highest long-term return, especially for businesses that can use tax incentives. A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), also known as third-party ownership (TPO), requires no upfront cost and provides immediate savings by offering electricity at a discounted rate compared to the utility. We help you compare both options so you can choose what works best for your business.
What maintenance does commercial solar require?
Commercial solar requires annual inspections and periodic panel cleaning. Our systems are designed with maintenance access in mind, so routine service is fast and affordable. We offer ongoing maintenance packages to keep your system performing optimally.
Do commercial solar projects need batteries or energy storage systems (ESS)?
Not always. Battery storage and ESS solutions make financial sense when your rate structure includes significant demand charges or time-of-use differentials. We will model energy storage as part of your ROI analysis and only recommend it if the numbers justify it. Many projects perform well with solar alone.
