You’re Not Alone if Your Solar Company Disappeared
Some well-known names in the region, such as Horizon Solar Power, Sullivan Solar Power, and American Solar Direct, have once installed thousands of systems across Orange County and beyond. Other companies, like SolarCity, were absorbed into larger brands such as Tesla, which at times left some legacy customers without direct support from their original installer. More recently, even major manufacturers like SunPower announced in 2024 their exit from direct residential installation, which is likely to create service gaps for their existing customers.
The result? Many homeowners are now experiencing problems with their solar panels, inverters, or batteries, but no longer have a company to call for help. If you’re dealing with issues like a Tesla Powerwall not charging, a SolarEdge inverter offline, or Enphase battery errors, OC Solar can help you take the next step.
