Solar + Battery
Solar Installation in Los Angeles, CA
NEM 3.0-optimized solar panel and battery installation designed around Southern California’s high electric rates — engineered, permitted and interconnected across Los Angeles, Orange County and San Bernardino.
Solar Installation
Own Your Power, Not Just Rent It
Southern California has two things that make solar compelling: relentless sun and some of the highest electric rates in the country. We design and install solar-plus-battery systems that turn that sun into decades of lower bills — engineered for your roof, your usage and today’s NEM 3.0 rules.
Under NEM 3.0, the credit for exporting daytime solar dropped sharply — which is why battery storage is now central to a smart design. We size panels and storage together so you use your own power during the expensive evening peak.
We handle the whole project: site assessment, engineering, permits, utility interconnection and incentive paperwork. And because we’re also licensed electrical and HVAC contractors, your panel, EV charger and heat pump are coordinated into one plan.

Solar Installation FAQ
Solar Installation Questions
Straight answers from our licensed technicians. Still have a question? Call us — a real person answers 24/7.
Do I need a battery with NEM 3.0?
For most homeowners now, yes. NEM 3.0 cut the value of exporting daytime solar by about 75%, so a battery that stores your surplus for the evening peak is what captures the savings — and it provides backup power during outages.
Do you handle permits and utility interconnection?
Yes. We produce the engineering plan set, pull the city permit, submit for interconnection, pass inspection and secure Permission to Operate. You get a turnkey project.
How long does solar installation take?
The physical installation is usually one to three days. The full timeline to Permission to Operate is typically a few weeks, driven by permitting and utility approval — which we manage for you.
How long do solar panels last?
Quality panels are typically warrantied for 25 years and keep producing beyond that. Inverters are the shorter-lived component, which is why we design for easy service and back systems with maintenance and repair.
