As the demand/cost of energy continues to rise, more homeowners than ever are turning to solar power for its environmental benefits and long-term savings. At Palomar Solar and Roofing, we believe that the company you choose for your solar installation is just as important as the decision to go solar itself. Here’s why partnering with a locally owned and operated company like ours can make all the difference.
Expertise with C10 and C39 Licensing
At Palomar Solar and Roofing, we are proud to hold both a C10 (Electrical Contractor) and C39 (Roofing Contractor) license. This is important because it ensures we have the expertise to handle both the electrical and roofing aspects of your solar installation. The C10 license guarantees that all electrical work is done safely and to code, while our C39 license means your roof is in good hands throughout the process.
Because we carry both licenses, you won’t need to hire multiple contractors for different parts of the job. We handle everything in-house, ensuring that your installation is seamless from start to finish.
No Subcontractors – Our Team Does It All
One thing that sets us apart from other solar companies is that we don’t subcontract any of our work. Every member of our installation team is a full-time, W-2 employee of Palomar Solar and Roofing. This means that when you choose us, you’re getting the same dedicated team from your initial consultation through to the installation.
We believe this approach delivers better quality, consistency, and communication. You’ll never have to worry about third-party contractors cutting corners or miscommunicating because we manage every step of the process ourselves.
We’ve Got You Covered – Workman’s Comp and $5 Million in Liability Insurance
At Palomar Solar and Roofing, we take your peace of mind seriously. That’s why we ensure all of our employees are covered by workman’s comp insurance on every job. In addition, we carry $5 million in liability insurance, which provides added protection for you and your home. We know how important it is to feel confident that your property is in safe hands, and we go the extra mile to make sure you’re protected every step of the way.
Local Expertise and Community Ties
As a locally owned and operated company, we have a deep understanding of the specific needs of our community here in San Diego. We know the local climate, permitting processes, and the most effective solar solutions for this region. Our team lives and works in the same neighborhoods as our customers, and we take pride in helping our community thrive by providing reliable, top-quality solar and roofing services.
When you work with us, you’re not just another customer. You’re a valued member of our community, and we’re committed to delivering the best possible service to ensure your solar installation is everything you expect—and more.
Diversified Services: Solar Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
One thing that sets Palomar Solar and Roofing apart is our ability to offer a variety of solar solutions to meet your unique needs. Solar energy isn’t just about installing panels—it’s about creating a system that works for your home and your lifestyle, now and in the future.
- Non-Export Systems: Non-export systems are designed for homeowners with existing solar systems operating under a legacy NEM agreement. It allows homeowners to install additional non-export capacity without impacting their existing system’s NEM status. The goal is to offset energy consumption via self-supply operation without exporting excess energy to the grid.
- Battery and Inverter Upgrades: Solar technology is evolving, and we’re here to help you stay ahead of the curve. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your system with the latest battery storage solutions or improve efficiency with an inverter upgrade, we’ve got you covered. Our team will help you choose the right equipment to keep your system performing at its best.
- Servicing Systems When Your Installer Isn’t Around: Sadly, not all solar companies are built to last, and many homeowners find themselves stuck with systems from companies that have gone out of business or, worse, are still in business but won’t return their calls. At Palomar Solar and Roofing, we offer service and maintenance to those homeowners, ensuring their systems stay functional and efficient—even if their original installer won’t.
Friendly Faces Right at the Door
The moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel the difference. Our offices are designed to be open and inviting—no hidden corners or backroom operations. In fact, the first people you’re likely to meet are Andy and Adam, the owner and founder of the company, whose offices are right there when you walk in. Can you think of another solar company where the owner is the first person to greet you? At Palomar Solar and Roofing, we take pride in being accessible, approachable, and eager to help.
Why Palomar Solar and Roofing Is the Right Choice
At the end of the day, we believe that our combination of local expertise, full-time W-2 employees, comprehensive insurance coverage, and our commitment to quality is what makes us the best choice for your solar installation. We take pride in doing things the right way, from the first consultation to the moment we power up your system.
So, if you’re ready to go solar, choose Palomar Solar and Roofing—where quality, safety, and local service come together to provide you with the best solar experience possible.
