Solar & Electrical Projects Built by Keen Energy

Real systems. Real specs. No invented numbers.

Projects marked Keen-Built were delivered by Keen Energy's own crews; Team Experience projects were delivered by our leadership team before Keen. Each is documented with job-site photos, its actual system size, and its engineering scope. Where we discuss economics, we label them as illustrative estimates. Each case study covers what the property needed, what Keen delivered, and what it proves for buyers like you.

Project Questions

What does commercial solar cost per watt in Southern California? +
Most Southern California commercial installations run $2.20 to $3.20 per watt installed before incentives. Smaller systems under 100 kW typically land at the higher end, and larger systems bring the per-watt cost down. Our 2026 cost guide breaks down what drives the range.
What tax credit applies to projects like these? +
The federal Investment Tax Credit covers 30% of the total installed system cost for commercial projects. Systems over 1 MW must meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements to claim the full 30%; systems under 1 MW get it without those conditions.
Who actually installs the systems? +
Keen Energy's own in-house C-10 electrical crews, with state-certified Journeymen and Apprentices. We do not subcontract the electrical scope. CSLB License #1137888.
How long does a project like these take? +
Most commercial projects run about two to four months from signed agreement to permission to operate, and construction itself is usually a matter of weeks. Our timeline guide walks through every phase.
