Which utility serves Irvine?

Irvine is served by Southern California Edison (SCE). We handle interconnection and Permission to Operate (PTO) with them end-to-end so you don't have to.

Do you handle Irvine solar permits?

Yes. We prepare and submit all permits through City of Irvine and track each one, with weekly status updates until your system is switched on.

Do I need a battery in Irvine?

Under California's NEM 3.0, a battery is usually what makes solar pay off — it stores your cheap daytime solar to use during the expensive 4–9 PM peak on Southern California Edison (SCE)'s time-of-use rates, and keeps your home powered during outages.

How much does solar cost in Irvine?

There's no honest single Irvine price — cost is driven by your system size (kW), your roof's layout and condition, the equipment you choose, and any electrical work like a main-panel upgrade. Your exposure to Southern California Edison (SCE) rates and whether you pair a battery under NEM 3.0 drive the value side. See our guide to California solar cost by system size for what moves the number, use our savings calculator to model your bill, and we'll price your actual roof with a free, itemized estimate.

Do you also handle roofing and HVAC in Irvine?

Yes. OC Solar is an Owens Corning roofing contractor and installs HVAC alongside solar and battery, so a re-roof, new heating and cooling, and your solar system can run as one coordinated Irvine project — one licensed company (CSLB #1023627), one schedule, one accountable team.
