Trusted Solar for Homes & Businesses Across San Diego
Electricity in San Diego is among the most expensive in the country, and rates keep climbing. Rooftop solar is one of the few upgrades that pays you back — most of our residential customers see a return on their investment in roughly five years, then enjoy decades of lower bills. At Sky Source Electric, we’ve spent more than two decades installing and servicing solar across San Diego County, and because we’re also a licensed C-10 electrical contractor, we handle the panel work, wiring, and permitting in-house instead of subcontracting it out.
Whether you want a custom rooftop system, ground-mount or carport array, battery backup for outages, or repair and maintenance on an existing system, we design every project around your roof, your usage, and your goals — never a one-size-fits-all package. Ask about our no-out-of-pocket solar options and financing through Mypoint Credit Union and Wellhouse Credit Union.
