Independent Advisory
Commercial Solar Consulting in San Diego
Independent advisory services for commercial property owners, facilities teams, municipalities, nonprofits, and institutions.
What We Do
Solar Power San Diego provides truly independent solar energy consulting — we are not affiliated with any installer, manufacturer, or financier. Our only obligation is to you, the client.
We guide organizations through every phase of the solar procurement process: from initial feasibility and utility rate analysis, through bid solicitation and evaluation, contract negotiation, and independent construction oversight — always as your advisor, never as your installer.

Our Consulting Services
Utility Rate Analysis
We analyze your current utility rates and model the financial impact of solar under NEM 3.0 and other applicable tariffs to ensure your project pencils out before you commit.
Solar Feasibility Study
A comprehensive assessment of your site's solar potential, including shading analysis, roof or ground-mount suitability, and estimated system size and production.
Bid Solicitation & Evaluation
We develop a detailed scope of work, solicit competitive bids from qualified installers, and independently evaluate each proposal on price, equipment quality, and contractor credentials.
NEM 3.0 Interconnection Support
We manage the NEM interconnection application process with your utility, ensuring timely and accurate submissions to protect your project timeline.
Construction Oversight
Our team monitors installation quality, verifies that work matches the approved design, and coordinates inspections and utility sign-off.
Energy Storage Consulting
We evaluate battery storage options alongside your solar project, modeling dispatch strategies and financial returns to determine whether storage makes sense for your facility.
EV Charging Integration
We incorporate EV charging infrastructure into your solar and storage design, optimizing load management and utility incentive capture.
Net Zero Energy Planning
For organizations with sustainability goals, we develop a roadmap to net zero energy, integrating solar, storage, efficiency measures, and demand response.
Why Independent Consulting Saves You Money
When you go directly to a solar installer, their incentive is to maximize their margin — not your savings. An independent consultant has no financial relationship with any installer. We evaluate every bid on your behalf, identify overpriced equipment, flag underperforming system designs, and negotiate on your behalf. Our clients consistently save 10–30% compared to organizations that procure solar without a consultant.
