How much can solar save me in LA?

Most homes offset 70–100% of their electric bill. We read a full year of your LADWP or SoCal Edison usage and model real numbers before quoting.

How fast does solar pay for itself?

With LA rates and the 30% federal credit, most systems pay back in roughly 5–8 years, then keep producing for another 17–20 under warranty.

How long does installation take?

Typically 1–3 days on site. Design, permits and utility Permission To Operate add a few weeks on either side.

Do I need a new roof first?

If your roof has under ~10 years left, combine them. Doing solar and re-roof on one permit with one crew is far cheaper than pulling panels later.

What about NEM 3.0 — is solar still worth it?

Yes, but the math changed. Under NEM 3.0 exported power is worth much less, so we design for self-consumption and usually pair a battery to store daytime sun for peak evening rates.

Not required, but it's what makes today's rate structure work in your favor — and it keeps the lights on during outages. Every system we design is at minimum battery-ready.

What warranty do I get?

25-year panel performance and inverter coverage from the manufacturer, plus our own workmanship warranty on the mounting and roof penetrations, in writing.

What panels do you use?

We're brand-agnostic and spec tier-1 modules to your roof and budget — Panasonic HIT panels are a house favorite for their efficiency and 25-year performance warranty, but we'll match the panel that best fits your roof, shade and payback math.

Yes — the 30% federal tax credit, plus LADWP and local storage programs where you qualify. We hand you the paperwork and the numbers.

Can you remove and reinstall my existing panels?

Yes. Re-roofs, additions and remodels all need panels pulled and re-set — we do it with the wiring and manufacturer warranties intact.

Do you clean and service panels you didn't install?

We do. LA dust, marine layer and bird nesting can cost 10–20% of production. We clean, test output and repair other companies' work.

Can I get solar that doesn't look like solar?

Solar shingles and low-profile tile-integrated systems sit flush with the roofline — same production, no bulky racking shadow on your curb appeal.

Do you do commercial or multi-unit solar?

Yes — small commercial roofs, duplexes and apartment buildings, including the separate metering and interconnection rules those carry.
