Scripps Ranch Project
Medium Sized
System Size: 7.665 kW
Est. Avg. Monthly Output: 1,049 kWh
Est. Average Bill After Solar: $10/mo
Est. Annual Savings: $4,696
Est. Lifetime Savings (25+ Years): $117,400
These Scripps Ranch homeowners met with several San Diego area solar companies before choosing to work with San Diego County Solar in 2019. They wanted to be able to keep their two-story home cooler in the summertime, and they wanted to be able to charge their new Tesla Model 3 at home without breaking the bank. Their goal was to get a quality solar system installed that was sized to accommodate their future needs. They chose to replace their roof’s 30 year old underlayment in conjunction with the solar installation so that they would not have to worry about it down the road. “I dealt primarily with Seth from the company. He came out and gave my wife and I a very thorough presentation on how solar would work for us. He was passionate about his work and never pushed us to make a sale.” This solar system was given Permission to Operate in late Spring, and the homeowners were thrilled right away that their solar was producing more electricity than they were using.
Encinitas Project
Large Sized
System Size: 11.31 kW
Est. Avg. Monthly Output: 1,384 kHh
Est. Average Bill After Solar: $119/mo
Est. Annual Savings: $6,862
Est. Lifetime Savings (25+ Years): $171,550
Installed in 2013, this 11.31 kW system features LG 290 Watt solar panels and Enphase M250 microinverters. To integrate the panels with the Spanish tile roof, we worked with a roofer to remove the tiles and lay down a composition roof. We then reinstalled tiles around the system, allowing the panels to lay almost flush with the surrounding tiles.
Santa Luz Project
Extra Large Sized
System Size: 18 kW
Est. Avg. Monthly Output: 2,304 kHh
Est. Average Bill After Solar: $634/mo
Est. Annual Savings: $10,788
Est. Lifetime Savings (25+ Years): $269,700
This Santa Luz installation is one of our largest residential solar power systems to date. The homeowner selected San Diego County Solar over the competition because they wanted an experienced contractor who would pay attention to the details. Aesthetics and quality were of utmost importance to the homeowner, and also to the design committee of this exclusive gated community. Working with an experienced local roofer, sections of the clay tile were removed, replaced with 50-year composite shingles, and then re-installed around the completed solar array. The system has no moving parts, and both the solar panels and the inverters carry a 25 year warranty. We’re very proud of our work on this job, and the customer loves the savings!

Seth Tilley was great and kind enough to sit down, explain every detail to me and repeat and go over things I did not understand. Throughout the year, I've been able to ask questions and get answers quickly. The solar panels were installed efficiently by experienced professionals. I was a bit worried about putting solar panels on a new roof but we have seen some heavy rain with no leaks. They explain how careful they are in installation. They want happy customers and a great reputation. I would highly recommend this company.

1) We first met Seth (Sales Director) two years ago at our previous residence. Seth came over... read more for an assessment and told us that our roof was not in great shape and thus not suitable for solar panel installation. I was impressed with his honesty and the time he took to give us that feedback.
2) As soon as we closed on our new house, I reached out to Seth to get a quote. It turns out that we have a metal roof and needed additional steps in order to get solar panels installed. Seth was able to quickly come up with a solution so that we can proceed with the project.
3) Seth kept us informed every step of the way, answering all our questions and concerns.
4) The team that came to install our panels were punctual and efficient.
5) Seth was available even after installation and inspection.
Overall, I was highly pleased with San Diego County Solar and recommend them for all your solar needs.

When it was install time, the installers were considerate, friendly, and on time. We highly recommend this company.
