How we use this network
Brand choice follows the design.
OC Solar works with every brand shown here. That relationship does not mean one brand belongs on every home. A useful recommendation starts with roof geometry, shade, utility rules, backup priorities, equipment location, current availability, and the written warranty.
These pages explain what each manufacturer or platform contributes, where it can fit, what to verify in a proposal, and which official sources support the current product facts. Exact equipment is always confirmed in the project proposal and permit set.
Power from the roof
Solar modules
The modules turn sunlight into electricity. The best choice balances usable roof area, electrical pairing, appearance, current supply, and the exact written warranty.
Solar modules
Qcells
High-efficiency residential solar modules
OC Solar installs Qcells residential solar modules when their all-black format, power density, and long-term output profile fit the roof and energy plan. The current Q.TRON BLK M-G2+ family reaches up to 440 W and 22.5% efficiency according to Qcells; final equipment is confirmed in the written proposal.

Solar modules
REC
Premium heterojunction residential modules
OC Solar installs REC modules when a homeowner values high power density, strong hot-weather performance, and the warranty structure available through the selected REC product and installer program. REC lists the Alpha Pure-RX at up to 470 W and 22.6% efficiency; the exact proposal controls what is installed.

Solar modules
Silfab Solar
North American-focused residential solar modules
OC Solar works with Silfab Solar and can specify its residential modules when current product availability, roof fit, aesthetics, and warranty terms support the project. Silfab's current residential range includes all-black Prime and Elite families designed for the North American market.

Inverters & energy controls
Inverters and controls decide how energy moves, how each component is monitored, how storage connects, and how technicians diagnose the system later.
Inverters & energy controls
Enphase
Panel-level microinverters and AC-coupled storage
OC Solar designs and services Enphase systems using module-level microinverters, panel-level monitoring, and compatible IQ Battery options. Enphase can fit new solar, complex roofs, and some retrofit scenarios, but the right architecture depends on the existing electrical system and backup goals.

Inverters & energy controls
SolarEdge
Optimized string inverters and integrated home energy
OC Solar installs and services SolarEdge systems that combine module-level power optimizers with a central inverter and optional storage and backup equipment. The architecture can fit roofs needing module-level visibility while keeping power conversion centralized at the home.

Solar mounting
Mounting hardware secures the array to the structure. Roof type, flashing, attachment spacing, wind loads, waterproofing details, and inspection requirements drive the selection.
Solar mounting
IronRidge
Engineered rooftop and ground-mount racking
OC Solar works with IronRidge mounting products when their rail, attachment, and roof-specific options fit the engineered solar design. The mounting system is selected from roof material, structural loading, attachment spacing, waterproofing details, module compatibility, and local code requirements.

Unirac
Rail-based and roof-specific solar mounting
OC Solar works with Unirac mounting systems when the selected rail, attachment, and roof assembly fit the engineered design. Unirac's portfolio includes rail-based systems such as SOLARMOUNT and NXT UMOUNT plus options for different roof surfaces and project types.

SnapNrack
Residential roof mounting and wire management
OC Solar works with SnapNrack mounting products when the system's roof attachments, rail configuration, module compatibility, and engineering fit the project. SnapNrack's Ultra Rail family emphasizes adaptable roof attachments, integrated wire management, and a low-profile finished array.

Energy storage
Home batteries can shift solar into higher-value hours and keep selected loads running during an outage. Backup scope and electrical architecture matter more than a brand name alone.
Planning before construction
Design software
Design platforms help turn site conditions and usage into a buildable system. They support modeling, layouts, proposals, engineering handoff, and transparent customer decisions.
Design software
Aurora Solar
Residential solar and storage design platform
OC Solar uses Aurora Solar to create roof models, place equipment, evaluate shade, simulate production, and communicate proposed solar and storage layouts. Software accelerates the first design; site verification, engineering, permitting, and human review determine the final buildable system.
Explore Aurora Solar →Design software
HelioScope
Commercial and industrial photovoltaic design
OC Solar works with HelioScope for commercial and industrial photovoltaic design studies, including array layouts, electrical configurations, shading, and production modeling. The software helps compare options; field verification, engineering, utility review, and permitting establish the final project.
Explore HelioScope →Design software
OpenSolar
Solar design, proposal, and project workflow
OC Solar works with OpenSolar as one of the tools available for solar and battery design, proposal, and project workflows. Its models and customer-facing views help communicate options, while OC Solar still verifies the roof, electrical system, equipment, engineering, permit set, and installation scope.
