You’ll also get a dedicated SolarCity Sales Manager who will keep you up-to-date on your project status and answer any questions you may have.

High quality

Our emphasis on quality goes beyond solar panels and software. We've hired the brightest talent in the solar industry. Our team includes numerous NABCEP-certified supervisors overseeing your projects. That’s the highest accreditation in the solar industry. It a perfect match for our "A" rating from the Better Business Bureau.

Latest solar technology

We evaluate and select only best-in-class technology for your solar energy project based on performance, quality and cost effectiveness. Once your system is up and running, our proprietary monitoring system tracks both your energy production and usage to give you a more complete picture of your energy needs and costs.

Solar financing advantage

Switch to solar with no upfront capital costs and start saving on electricity as soon as you turn on the power. Our Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is just one of the flexible financing and purchase options we offer. Direct financing, instead of financing through a third party, means that you’ll have a single point of contact for all of your solar financing needs.

Competitive price

We’ve installed thousands of solar power projects across the country. Each one has helped us fine-tune our project management system and drive down costs. Operating on this scale lets us build strong relationships with our suppliers who give us volume discounts that we pass along to our customers.

Environmental stewardship

We’re on a mission to drive down the cost of clean solar energy. We’ve received many environmental leadership awards from the Aspen Institute and Acterra for our efforts. We were also recognized as the a Green Power Supplier of the year by the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2010. Join us. Take control of your energy cost while helping to build a cleaner future.
