Solar Electric Residential

Occidental Power has installed thousands of solar electrical (photovoltaic or PV) and solar hot water (solar thermal) systems in Northern California. Homeowners, businesses, schools and other institutions create and store their own energy with a variety of energy solutions, customized for individual needs.

  • Solar electric (PV) net energy metering (connected to the local utility grid)

  • Solar electric (PV) / battery energy storage systems (BESS) stand-alone systems

Creating and storing your own electricity from the sun’s energy protects you from future utility rate hikes and power outages. Clean, sustainable renewables make sense for individuals, are good for the environment and helps us collectively become less dependent on nonrenewable sources of electricity. Stored energy allows you to charge your electric vehicles while you are sleeping.

Solar electric net energy metering: connected to the local utility grid

Connecting your solar electric panels (photovoltaic or PV) to the utility grid allows you to feed energy to the system and draw from it when you need it.

We specialize in utility interconnection applications and approvals.

In fact, we were the first to connect a photovoltaic system to the utility grid in San Francisco.

If your property is “off-the-grid” or not connected to an electrical utility, a solar electric system (photovoltaic or PV) with battery energy storage systems and solar hot water panels may be good solutions for your electricity and hot water needs.

We will work with you to design, build and install a system that works specifically for you.
