Our History of Cutting-Edge Solar Projects

Occidental Power is the longest running and most experienced solar power and energy storage company in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our team has a wide breadth of experience in renewables with expertise to customize solar solutions and energy solutions for each customer. This proficiency has allowed us to pioneer many firsts over the years.

Long before we opened our doors, our CEO and founder, Greg Kennedy, and several of our employees and consultants, installed the first solar thermal installation on a multi-unit apartment building in the Bay Area and many other groundbreaking projects. (See Occidental Power History)

The City and County of San Francisco recognized Occidental Power for installing the first permitted solar electric systems for both residential and commercial properties in 1996 and 1997. The San Francisco Business Times listed us as one of the Top 10 Largest Solar Installers in the Bay Area in 2010. We were later recognized for installing the 10,000th solar electric system to interconnect to the utility. (See In The News)

Selected examples of our work over the years can be found under Solar Electric Commercial and Solar Hot Water Commercial.
