What We Offer
Commercial Solar Consulting Services
Independent support for San Diego commercial solar projects, from feasibility and bid evaluation through contract negotiation and construction oversight.
How We Work
Solar Power San Diego provides fully independent advisory services. We are not affiliated with any installer, equipment manufacturer, or financier — our only obligation is to you.
Whether you need a single feasibility study or full-service project management from concept to commissioning, we tailor our engagement to your organization's needs and budget.
Our Process
Discovery & Utility Analysis
We review your utility bills, rate schedules, and load data to model the true financial impact of solar under current and future tariff structures including NEM 3.0.
Feasibility & System Design Review
We assess your site's solar potential, evaluate shading, roof or ground-mount options, and review proposed system sizes and production estimates for accuracy.
Bid Solicitation & Evaluation
We develop a detailed scope of work, solicit competitive bids from pre-qualified installers, and independently evaluate each proposal on price, equipment quality, and contractor credentials.
Contract Negotiation
We negotiate installer contracts on your behalf, ensuring favorable terms on pricing, warranties, performance guarantees, and project timelines.
Permitting & Interconnection
We manage the NEM interconnection application with your utility and coordinate with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to keep permitting on track.
Construction Oversight
Our team monitors installation quality, verifies work matches the approved design, and coordinates inspections and utility sign-off through to Permission to Operate (PTO).
