Building on California roofs since 2011, with the same crew leaders still on the trucks.

Our story

One van, a ladder rack, and a stubborn idea

We started with one van and a ladder rack. Today we are ninety people, and we still do not subcontract a single install.

The engineer who draws your system signs the plans. The technician who fits it is the one who comes back to service it. That is the whole difference, and it is why our customers send us their neighbours.

Benefits

Why people pick us twice

Roughly a third of our work comes from customers who already bought from us once.

One warranty

Panels, inverter, roof and our labour sit under a single Solvara document. One number to call.

Output in writing

We name your first-year figure in the contract. Miss it and we pay you the shortfall.

Our own crews

Ninety people on payroll. No labour brokers, no rotating faces on your roof.

Paperwork handled

Permits, utility interconnection and rebate filings. You sign twice; we chase the rest.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises

From first call to switch-on is usually nine to twelve weeks. Permits are the only part we cannot speed up.

1

We come and look

A technician climbs the roof, measures it properly and takes shade readings. Ninety minutes, and it costs you nothing.

2

You get real numbers

A layout, a production estimate and a price, with every assumption listed. If two options are close, we send both.

3

We build and watch it

Permits, install, inspection and switch-on. After that our team monitors the system and books the visit before you notice a fault.

Our team

You will meet most of them

Small enough that the person who quotes your job knows the person who builds it.

What customers say after a few winters

Free survey

Ninety minutes on your roof, and a number you can trust

No sales visit, no obligation. If solar is wrong for your property, the technician will say so before leaving the driveway.
