Every service a Valley solar home needs
Most solar companies only want to sell new installs. We also fix, clean, and upgrade — because a system that stops producing costs you real money every month it sits dead.
Solar Repair
Your system stopped producing, or the company that installed it stopped answering the phone. We diagnose and repair systems from any installer — including orphaned systems whose original company went out of business.
Solar Maintenance
Valley dust, hard water, and heat all chip away at production over time. Panel cleaning, inspections, and monitoring checks keep your system earning what it was designed to earn.
Inverter Replacement
Inverters typically wear out years before panels do, and a dead inverter takes the whole system down with it. We replace failed string inverters and microinverters and get you producing again.
Panel Removal & Reinstall
Re-roofing a home that already has solar? We detach and store your panels, coordinate with your roofer, then reinstall and recommission the system once the new roof is on.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home charging, permitted and inspected, sized to what your electrical panel can actually handle. Pair it with solar and charge your car on power you generate.
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Many older Valley homes still run on 100-amp panels that can't support solar plus modern loads. We upgrade your main panel and coordinate the utility side of the work.
Commercial Solar
Own a building or a business in greater LA? Commercial projects still qualify for federal clean-energy credits under rules separate from the expired residential credit. See our commercial solar services.
Install, repair, or upgrade — where do you start?
Three different situations bring homeowners to us. Each one starts in a different place.
Going solar for the first time
You have a painful LADWP or SCE bill and an empty roof. Start with a free consultation: we model your last 12 months of usage, design a system for your rate plan, and put the lease, PPA, cash, and loan numbers side by side.
You have solar, and it isn't working
Production dropped, the monitoring app went dark, or your installer disappeared. A dead system quietly costs you the savings you counted on — every month. We diagnose systems from any company and quote the fix before we touch anything.
Upgrading your home's energy setup
A new EV, a re-roof, or an aging electrical panel. These projects touch the same wiring and permits as solar, so having one team handle them together saves duplicate inspections and duplicate bills.
Frequently asked questions
Do you service solar systems you didn't install?
Yes. We repair and maintain systems from any installer, including orphaned systems whose original company went out of business. Diagnosis, inverter replacement, wiring fixes, and monitoring restoration are all standard work for us.
What areas do you cover?
We're based in Northridge and serve the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles County, including Granada Hills, Encino, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, West Hills, Van Nuys, Burbank, and Glendale.
Is solar still worth it now that the federal tax credit ended?
The residential purchase credit ended December 31, 2025, but zero-down lease and PPA options still capture incentives through the system owner, and LA electric rates keep rising. We'll show you the math for your actual bill before you decide anything.
Do you handle permits and utility paperwork?
Yes. We manage the city permit, the inspection, and the interconnection application with LADWP or SCE from start to finish. You sign the documents; we handle the rest.
