How It Works

See how solar powers the home by day and the battery carries the load after sunset.

Instead of repeating service categories, this shows the homeowner journey visually: sunshine creates production, excess energy charges the battery, and stored power supports the home into the evening.

Daytime generation flows from the roof into the home first, then into storage.
The battery fills while the sun is strong so the home has energy available later.
At night, the battery becomes the visible power source supporting the home.

You ever felt solar sales don't know what they are talking about ? Let me tell you about Uriel .short answer cuz we talk a lot . Uriel knew exactly what size solar system I needed. He was extremely knowledgeable about kW sizing, batteries, and everything solar. This was the first time I truly felt I was working with someone who understands what they sell and actually delivers on it. My system with battery was just installed, and I couldn't be happier with the experience

From the initial consultation to next steps, Uriel remained engaged, responsive, and forthcoming with information, ensuring I fully understood my solar options, system performance, and long-term benefits. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and never made the process feel rushed or pressured.

Yo instale los paneles en mi casa en el 2022 y estoy muy satisfecha con los resultados, no pago una factura de energía eléctrica durante el verano y durante el invierno es muy poquito lo que eh pagado Uriel me ayudó con todo el papeleo y proceso de instalación. Nunca eh tenido ningún problema con mis paneles solares. Y yo si los recomiendo

Uriel is incredibly knowledgable and profesional, he Was able to explain the differences between paneles&batteries and help us craft the right option for our home! I Was extremely skeptical at first. My brother worked with Uriel 3 years ago and reffered me to him. I am very happy and feel confident about our decision.

I was skeptical but after meeting Uriel and getting the financial info I needed it was a no brainer . We were able to build a system that provides more kWh than I used the last couple years with info provided directly from my old bills. The cost of my now 11 month old system is ridiculously less than I would have spent in direct payments to SCE for monthly bills. I also bagged a 14k tax rebate... seriously and this is for real!!!!

We installed in February 2023 and proceeded to absolutely 100% Max our A/C from morning thru night every single day of the summer like a rich person!! Oh and heck - yes my pool/jacuzzi ran 8hours per day every day-all year. The Solar Edge Monitoring app allows me to track usage day to day and month to month so I can easily see at a glance my daily use. This was awesome especially in summer because I was enjoying watching my electric meter “Go Backwards “ while my system was generating more current than I was using with all of my household items on and cranking —— Ha Ha Ha!!!

I don't even bother turning off lights and stuff anymore, and I stand in front of my refrigerator with the door open casually picking what I want .

I can't thank Uriel enough for digging deep and designing a system that saves me $$ immediately and provides more energy than I needed for the year without oversizing it.i am now in month 12 and my electric company will owe me approximately $210 for the year!! Now I'm no Genius but darn that's a financial swing I wish I could have done years ago! Now thanks to Uriel I make my own electricity and they buy what I have left over daily!!!
