Solar & Battery Installation in Long Beach, CA
We serve Long Beach with custom solar, battery, and the Tesla Solar Roof — coastal-ready designs and full permitting handled.
What going solar looks like in Long Beach
Long Beach homes are served by Southern California Edison (SCE), and permits run through City of Long Beach. We manage both for you. Under NEM 3.0, the smart play here is solar sized to charge a battery, so you run your home on stored solar during the expensive evening peak instead of buying power at top rates.

Solar designed around Long Beach
We design and install across Long Beach — including Belmont Shore, Naples Island, Bixby Knolls, Belmont Heights, California Heights, Los Cerritos, Alamitos Beach, and Wrigley.
Climate & energy use
Long Beach has a mild coastal-Mediterranean climate where morning marine layer keeps spring and early-summer mornings cool, but inland neighborhoods away from the water still see warm late-afternoon heat that drives air-conditioning right into Southern California Edison's expensive 4-9 PM peak window. Pairing solar with a battery lets homes store midday production and lean on it through that evening peak instead of buying SCE's priciest grid power.
Roofs & housing stock
Long Beach's housing stock leans heavily toward older homes — 1920s Spanish and Mediterranean Revival with clay or concrete tile, Craftsman bungalows with composition shingle, and many mid-century homes — alongside a large share of flat and low-slope roofs on bungalow courts and multi-unit buildings. Tile and low-slope roofs each call for different mounting and flashing approaches, so we tailor the racking and penetrations to the specific roof rather than using a one-size-fits-all install.

Battery backup & solar repair in Long Beach
Yes — we handle more than new installs in Long Beach. Our in-house crews add battery backup to existing solar systems, diagnose and repair arrays regardless of who installed them, and remove and reinstall panels when a roof needs replacing.
A battery added to an existing Long Beach system does double duty: it stores your cheap daytime solar to use in the evening, and keeps essentials powered through outages. And if a re-roof is coming, the tile roofs described in the notes above are why panel removal and reinstallation here is careful, flashing-first work — we detach, store, and reset your system and bring it back online.
