Residential Solar in San Diego.
Designed for Your Home.

The cost depends on your home’s energy usage and system size. Most residential systems in San Diego range from $15,000 to $48,000 before incentives. With the federal tax credit (30%) and our prepaid lease program, your out-of-pocket cost can be reduced by 30–40%. We provide a free, no-pressure quote with transparent pricing.

Most San Diego homeowners see a full payback in 5–7 years, depending on system size, energy usage, and financing. With SDG&E’s high rates and San Diego’s abundant sunshine, the return on investment is among the best in the country.

Most roofs in San Diego are suitable for solar. We install on composition shingle, tile, flat, and metal roofs. During your free consultation, we assess your roof’s age, condition, orientation, and shading to ensure it’s a good fit. If your roof needs replacement, we offer combined solar + roofing packages.

Standard grid-tied solar systems will shut off during an outage for safety reasons. However, when paired with a battery storage system, your solar can keep critical loads running during blackouts. We offer Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ, and Franklin WH batteries for complete backup protection.

No. We handle every aspect of permitting, from the City of San Diego building permit to the SDG&E interconnection application. Our team has processed thousands of permits over 30 years and knows exactly how to keep your project moving without delays.

The physical installation of a typical San Diego home solar system takes 1–3 days on the roof. The full project from contract signing to powering on usually runs 4–8 weeks, with most of that time spent on design, City of San Diego permitting, and SDG&E interconnection — not on-site work. We provide a written project timeline before you sign.

We install premium high-efficiency monocrystalline panels from manufacturers with proven 25-year reliability records — including REC, Q CELLS, and similar Tier 1 brands. The exact model we recommend depends on your roof space, energy goals, and budget. After 30 years of installing in San Diego’s coastal and inland climates, we choose panels that hold up to salt air, marine layer, and Santa Ana winds.

Yes. Studies by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory show solar-equipped homes sell for roughly 4% more than comparable non-solar homes — that’s about $30,000 on a $750,000 San Diego property. California also exempts solar installations from property tax reassessment, so you won’t pay higher property taxes on the added value.
