SOLAR DONE DIFFERENTLY
We bring aesthetic solar solutions that offer forward-thinking clients a profitable investment.
Located in Santa Barbara, we deliver the latest in solar and battery technologies and work with your design preferences, electricity needs, and your budget to create the solution that makes sense for you.
Be Bright.

Produce, store and use your own clean energy. The right solar and storage system provides independence from utility’s rate increases and unreliability. Optimize your electric bill and use the grid when it benefits you.
Be Prepared.

Invest in battery backup and protect your home from the ever more frequent power shutdowns. As the grid gets more unreliable, give your home the resilience it needs to go on with your life, even when the grid is down.
Come First.

Customer service is our top priority and has been the key to our success since we opened our doors in 2008. We are local and work with and for the community. We only work with top quality manufacturers.
