Solar in Orange County: Permits, Utilities, Costs, and What Contractors Won't Tell You

The Only Orange County-Specific Solar Guide Written by a Local Installer

Most solar quotes ignore Orange County specifics. They promise "2-4 week permits" when Irvine takes 4-6 weeks. They quote the same price for Santa Ana and Newport Beach, ignoring $9,200 cost differences. They treat Anaheim Public Utilities like SCE, missing unique opportunities.
