Solar Service Areas: San Fernando Valley & Greater Los Angeles

Our solar service areas cover the San Fernando Valley and Greater Los Angeles, from our office at 9221 Corbin Ave #110 in Northridge. We've been installing, repairing, and servicing home solar here since 2010 — close enough to show up when something on your roof needs attention.

The nine cities we serve

Every city page below covers what actually changes the math where you live: which utility bills you, what the housing stock looks like, and how permits work.

Why your utility matters more than your ZIP code

Most of the Valley cities we serve — Northridge, Granada Hills, Encino, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, West Hills, and Van Nuys — are part of the City of Los Angeles, which means LADWP is the utility. LADWP is a municipal utility and runs its own net metering program, separate from the CPUC decision known as NEM 3.0 that applies to investor-owned utilities like SCE. That distinction genuinely changes how exported solar energy gets credited, so we walk through the current rules for your specific address during your estimate.

Burbank and Glendale each have their own municipal utility — Burbank Water and Power and Glendale Water and Power — with their own programs and paperwork. Elsewhere in LA County, SCE customers fall under NEM 3.0. Whichever territory you're in, we handle the interconnection application and the permit so you don't have to learn three utilities' rules.

Not sure where to start? See how a solar installation project runs end to end, or — if you already have panels that aren't performing — solar repair is where we do work most companies won't touch, including systems whose original installer went out of business.
