High-Quality Equipment and Monitoring

Solar Optimum offers some of the best solar equipment currently available on the market. As an elite and premium partner, the company installs only tier 1 panels manufactured by Panasonic, QCells, and REC Solar; inverters and battery storage produced by Enphase; mounting and racking from Unirac; and battery storage from Tesla.

Additionally, the company delivers integrated, cell-based monitoring that is more reliable than WiFi to go along with its solar energy systems, which allows customers to see how much their system is generating.

Solar Optimum is also a GAF Master Elite Contractor and CertainTeed Elite Shingle Master for all residential roofing needs.

Industry-Leading Warranties

Solar Optimum provides customers with industry-leading warranties to cover different components of its solar energy systems. The company has a 25-year panel and inverter warranty, 25-year racking system warranty, 25-year roof warranty, 25-year workmanship warranty, and a 25-year performance guarantee.

Additionally, Solar Optimum allows homeowners to transfer all warranties. Usually, solar companies only provide warranty coverage to the original purchaser of the solar system. This means that if you sell your home, the new homeowner does not enjoy the solar system warranty coverage. With Solar Optimum, if the original owner sells the home with a Solar Optimum solar system installed, the warranty transfers to the new homeowners.

Solar Optimum offers a variety of ways for customers to pay for their solar energy system, including upfront purchase, loan finance, and solar lease. With so many options available, customers have the ability to select a payment method that fits well with their needs and budget.

Premium EPC Company

Solar Optimum is a Premium EPC company, which means they will handle everything from A to Z: engineering, procurement, and construction. This is a good indication that customers will receive a high-quality installation with Solar Optimum.

16+ Years of Experience

Solar Optimum has over 16 years of solar, battery, and roofing experience. An energy provider's longevity is one of the most important qualities for clients. If clients are in need of any other services, maintenance requests, or warranty promises, the company must be in business.

Solar Optimum Frequently Asked Questions

How does going solar with Solar Optimum work?

The first important step is setting up a consultation with one of our Energy Consultants. We are currently offering phone and video consultations. It's vital that we understand the customer's energy goals and current (and future) electricity needs in order for us to create a customized solar system and provide a quote.

How much does a solar energy system cost from Solar Optimum?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for this because the cost of the system depends on many variables like electrical usage, energy goals, product selection, utility company, etc.

What solar panels does Solar Optimum use in its installations?

Solar Optimum only installs tier-one, industry-leading panels, inverters, racking, battery storage, and solar products from the best in the industry that have the best warranty. This includes Panasonic, REC, QCells, Enphase, Unirac, GAF, CertainTeed and Tesla Energy to name a few.

How long will it take before the solar panels are installed?

In the best case scenario, a solar system can be installed and turned on in around 90 days. However, many variables are involved in getting the solar system installed and turned on. Delays in turning the system on may depend on the utility company. Some jurisdictions take longer than others.

Does Solar Optimum require a contract?

Yes.

Do the solar panels work when there is a power outage?

Solar panels do not work if there is a power outage. The solution for this is the home battery back-up that we offer from Tesla Powerwall. If there is a power outage, energy is pulled from the battery.

Jim Wehri Altadena, CA

Recently had 2 Tesla batteries installed to compliment existing solar system. The Tesla system design and installation was superb. Very clean and efficient. The technicians were very capable and polite. Everyone at Solar Optimum was cordial and accommodating. Just be aware that the timeline on projects as this is long because of all the various parties involved — approvals, licensing, commissioning, etc. Solar Optimum does all it can to expedite, but it takes time! In summary, I am very happy that I selected Solar Optimum to do my installation. They know how to navigate the bureaucracies involved and communicate progress. Jim W

We got 30% federal tax credit and I paid only $11.000 for my house project. They used 21 panels for coverage all of my usage. They did their job spotlessly clean, we are so satisfied with this company and recommend to all home owners with high electric usage.

When I saw advertising on Tv I decided to go green energy for two different reasons, first for decreasing my electricity bills and in the second step for the environment. that's why I started to search on social media and also on Yelp, I found three different companies those are better than the others, but when I met them one by one I chose the best one finally, I don't have high usages that's why Solar Optimum could design the system with 13 panels I got an almost $5000 my federal tax credit and $500 utility rebate, I have 20 years warranty on my panels. I recommend the Solar system for all people how like to have a clean environment.

Summer months can add quite the strain to our economy. I started looking up solar as a solution for those months. Not only was I now able to save money during the long summer months but because my winter months didn't use up a lot of my energy I was able to lower my bills even more so making my year's expenses that much more doable.

Alex B was my rep at Solar Optimum and he was amazing, to say the least. Very Clearly and carefully, he walked us through the entire process of how solar would benefit our home. With an electric bill of $300 or more a month, we needed a solution fast especially during the dog day of summer. we ended up choosing solar optimum and worked with Alex on a 5.4Kw system which covered almost 93% of our electric usage. If it weren't for some shading due to trees, we would have been able to get 100%. I grade them an A at Solar Optimum and A++ to Alex

I attended a workshop last summer with a friend at Solar Optimum office in Glendale. My neighbor already had a solar system but was considering getting the new Tesla home battery. I tagged along to learn more about solar since it was something I`ve been thinking about for a while. The solar workshop really helped my understanding and I was able to ask a bunch of questions to the two guys that were doing the presentation. Afterwards, I met Jacob one of the reps and we scheduled a consultation at my home with my wife.Even though we met with two other solar companies so I do a fair comparison, I ended up with solar optimum because of their warranty and production guarantee (25 years).

I was able to get the name of the company and set up an appointment with Sean. I was impressed with solar optimum work specially when Sean told me that they installed the solar system at the Northridge, Glendale Galeria and El Segundo Malls. It was important for me and my family to not give or business to any new or amateur solar companies because I have heard horror stories. In the end Sean and installation team did a great job.

I consider myself pretty high tech and an ambassador when it comes to green technology. Last year I had a solar system installed at my home by solar Optimum. They installed 28 LG solar panels with the racking and inverter as well as a monitoring system on my cellphone. I only wanted tier 1 equipment knowing it will be on my house for the next 30 years plus. The solar installation was completed in less than 2 days but final inspection took another two weeks. Very clean installation and the system is humming along very nicely. Solar Optimum gets my five star rating. I recommended them for anyone looking to save big money on their electricity bill.

I was interested in going green for a while. I made a lot of improvements to my home trying to be as energy efficient as possible. I went as far as purchasing an EV car as well. I saved so much money with my electric car I started thinking the larger scale and decided to upgrade my home's electricity to solar. I met with many companies but in the end, decided to go with solar optimum. They offered me a wonderful 9.8 kW system that achieved my homes energy needs and warrantied the work for the next 25 years.

I have heard of competitive bids but this was truly a site to behold . After I scheduled a few appointments companies flooded my house with similar quotes. What stood out to me was all the special attention they took in designing not just my system but all the steps they put in to make sure that I was happy with it during the entire installation. I was given option that other companies did not offer and I was happy to see that this options where all in line with my goals for energy use. It's great to finally meet a company who is there to listen rather than to lead you towards a purchase you are not happy or sure of.

Solar optimum in my experience did an A+ job on setting up our solar system on our home. From beginning to end, their communication through the entire process was great-- at times, over-communicating which was not necessary but appreciated. Our solar system job has 20 panels for a 7KW system on our west and south roof. The system is running like a well oiled machine and we're ready for the summer.

What a world of difference to finally talk to a professional and experienced company who was able to speak honest about my utility saving and roof situation. I spoke to two other companies before calling optimum and each of them gave me a quote by phone without ever coming to my house to at least look at my roof. I realized the technology is there to do that but i told these companies that the roof maybe in bad condition and that the google satellite is not accurate . After hearing about optimum from a friend, I spoke to Silva and she booked a consultation the very next day for me with Armando. He actually came to my home and was able to inspect my roof. I signed with them and cannot wait to get the solar system up in a few weeks. I will be sure to post the photos when it's completed .

They did great job and left my house looking the way it did before they began, minus my new solar system . It has been working smoothly since its installation and I have been enjoying my energy without the hassle of a big bill.

After the purchase of my house I wanted to make sure I was saving as much money as I could. I realized since the size of my house had increased this task was going to difficult. I notice my neighbor had a solar system installed and after talking with them decided to look into it myself. Eric came to my house and talked to me about some financing options they had available. This system that provide both my homes electricity and has since increased the value of my home too. I am very excited with my new purchase and would advise you to look into a system design by Solar optimum.

I had received a few other quotes before I called Solar Optimum. From the beginning the experience with them was quite different. While the information they requested was the same the way they approached my project with such great care I felt comfortable knowing I wasn't the only with an interest in my design. The utility took some time getting someone out there to approve my system but once the dust had settled I had a state of the art system that now allows me to enjoy my home at a comfortable temperature year long.

I had just remodeled my home and was looking for a company that could build this new addition to my home without leaving scars. I had met with several companies, many which could not deliver the custom look I was after. When I finally met with Sean from Solar Optimum he went through every aspect of my system ensuring what could and could not be done. He backed every one of his thoughts with facts that made it easy to understand having no major solar knowledge prior. I was quite impressed after our initial consult and trust them to work on my home. They handled all the paperwork for my rebates and ended up saving me even more than thought possible. When they were done my system looked amazing and did what they had promised. I would give them 5 stars in all areas.

I was interested in getting a state of the art solar system on my home to power me through the next decade. Solar optimum was able to design a sleek looking system with the panels and parts I wanted. On top of all that they were able to bring my home up to date with the panel upgrade they had done including it all in one great price. My home looks incredible and the savings it brings me are unheard of. I don’t know why I took so long to go solar.

I must say that throughout this entire process the team at Solar Optimum has had great communication with both my wife and myself. They kept us in the loop throughout the entire installation. They even gave us the option to be present along each step if we close to. They were very clean and respectful of my home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I would have to say that this is one of the more honest solar companies around. Always available and take the time to understand the energy solar process was confusing until I met Armando who took the time to educate my family about the solar benefits. Definitely recommend you call them for quote. You will be impressed with their honesty and professionalism.

We were a bit skeptical in the beginning to take a Solar Optimum into consideration. Our monthly high bills however pushed us to take a risk and trust these guys and oh boy did it not pay us back greatly. After weeks of research and carefully studying many companies and their service, we finally decided to give this company a chance. And it astonishingly surprised us. Our monthly bills have decreased tremendously ever since we had them install the panels and we have been absolutely happy with our choice. The service installation went pretty fast and ever since we had the panels installed, there have been no problems. Our experience so far has been nothing but great until further updates.

My solar system has been great ever since my wife persuaded me to install them which I was not happy about in the beginning. I am an old school guy and anything new and modern out there doesn't spark an interest in me to give it a try it to trust. Now that my electricity bills are much lower after installing my new system, I'm so glad I made the choice to go solar. Now I even persuade others to get them. Plus my wife is extremely happy that our bills are lower and results we are getting are keeping us satisfied. What more can a man ask for? Lower bills and a happy wife! Easy life.

Solar Optimum was the first solar company I reached out to that actually took the time to explain to me everything I needed to know about solar, and I felt very comfortable with them from start to finish. They are extremely knowledgable, and there were never any issues throughout the entire process. I'm very satisfied with the end result, and I highly recommend Solar Optimum to anyone who's considering solar!

I was looking for a solution to my monthly electrical charges that was as hassle free as possible. I got on a few sites and started comparing offers. While most sounded similar in many areas I decided too look a level deeper. I wanted someone who truly understood the field they were in. I read so many reviews that spoke highly of solar optimum. I requested a meet with them and was impressed from the get go. They had a firm understanding of both what I was looking to accomplish and how they could make that a possibility. We went over many design until finally I was happy with the end result. They soon began work which happened so seamlessly I couldn't have asked for a better crew. My home now looks sleak and has the ability to save my money.

5 star company for sure. In only 3 days, our panels were up but there was a slight delay with the city approving it. however, I'm happy to say my solar system is up and running :) and our bills are lower after installing with solar Optimum. Best home investment I've made so far.

This was a very good company to choose to do my install. they gave me fast service and had my system on my house before the summer. The pricing was fair and they liked to answer all my questions. I would refer them to my friends and to my family.

Going solar has helped rid me of at least one of my monthly bills. I have been really happy with my purchase. They told me about there referral program and with my referrals has taken the cost down even more. Thank you for all your help.

I saw the company reviews on Yelp and decided to get a quote but the only thing that I received was an automatic reply with why it is an excellent company. I called three times and gave my info to the secretary and asked for Tom since his name was in the e-mail that I received. I even sent a e-mail with my SDGE bill to TOM, but he never got call back or sent an estimate. When I called and asked to talk to him, he was always busy on the phone, he was the only contact I was given and he never got in touch with me in over 2 weeks. I waited for a call back and the same e-mail with the 10 reasons why I should hire the company. A company with so many good reviews, but was not able to provide a quote even when the customer is eager to invest in this product. If I cant even get a quote for this, how can I trust that I will be taken care of in the future? I will no longer be seeking investment in this company. Thank you.

I began to look online when I finally decided my home needed a solar system. I looked through a lot of websites but couldn't understand much. I looked at reviews on Yelp and found a few companies. I met with a handful of companies who all had similar products. When I met Ivan at Solar Optimum it was very refreshing the amount of detail he went into while explaining the process. Having felt so helpless faced with websites he filled in all the holes and I understood why this was such an amazing addition. I signed right away and it has proven to be a great investment.
