30 years locally owned & over 600 installs!

We install custom solar energy systems to reduce both your utility bills and your carbon footprint.

Mendocino Solar Services designs, installs, and services hybrid and grid-tied solar electric systems for residential and commercial properties.

Grid-Tied Solar Electric Systems generate energy from sunlight and feed it back into the power grid. The value of the energy produced by your system reduces your utility bill.

Hybrid Solar Electric Systems generate energy from sunlight and feed it back into the power grid as well as into a battery bank for your home. The battery bank provides a backup energy source so your home does not lose power during utility outages.

The Mendocino Solar Service advantage:

Unlike out-of-state companies, we don't send you an online quote from hundreds of miles away. We meet you in person, visit your property, and design a system just for you.

  1. We begin with an on-site evaluation and electricity use study. That way we’ve got the right data to build the right system designed just for you.

  2. We obtain building permits and PG&E interconnection, navigating the red tape so you don’t have to.

  3. A solar electric system is a long-term investment in your home. We help arrange financing or leasing so you can move forward with solar energy.

  4. We supply an owner’s manual, system orientation, and performance follow-up so you understand your new solar electric system and know how to care for it for years to come.
