Solar PV Systems

Stop renting your electricity.
Own it.

Every month, you pay the utility for power the sun delivers to your roof for free. A solar PV system flips that: your roof becomes your power plant, your bill shrinks, and rate hikes become someone else’s problem. We design and install residential systems up to 10kW — permitted, inspected, and built by our own licensed crews.

Your Setup

Three ways to run on sunshine

Grid-Tie Systems

Stay connected to the utility and earn credits for excess power you generate. The most popular and cost-effective setup for most SoCal homes.

🔋

Grid-Tie + Battery

Under California’s current net metering rules, storing your solar power beats selling it back cheap. Add a battery and use your own sunshine at night — and keep the lights on during outages. See battery backup →

🌐

Off-Grid Systems

Complete independence from the utility. Ideal for remote properties or homeowners who want total energy self-sufficiency.

Why It Matters Who Installs It

Your roof deserves better than a sales crew

Plenty of solar companies are marketing machines that subcontract the actual work. Every hole in your roof, every wire, every connection on a Doctor Piper install is made by our own licensed crews — the same company that answers the phone if anything ever needs attention.

  • C-46 solar licensed in California & Nevada — CSLB #885044

"The building inspector told me that Doctor Piper is the only company he carries business cards for — in case someone asks for a recommendation. That says everything."

How It Works

From sunny roof to lower bill in three steps

1

Free Assessment

We evaluate your roof, shading, usage, and panel — and give you real production numbers, not sales projections.

2

Licensed Install

Our own crews mount, wire, and commission the system — permits pulled, inspection passed.

3

Power Your Life

Watch your meter slow down — and your bill with it. Add a battery or EV charger whenever you’re ready.

Common Questions

Solar PV questions, answered

How big a system do I need?
It depends on your usage, roof space, and goals. We size systems from your actual utility bills — not a one-size template — and handle residential systems up to 10kW.
Do I still need the utility?
With a grid-tie system, yes — the grid covers nights and cloudy stretches, and you earn credits for excess production. Add a battery to use more of your own power, or go fully off-grid for complete independence.
Should I get a battery with my solar?
Under California’s current net metering rules, exported solar power earns far less than it used to — which makes storing your power and using it yourself the smarter play for most homes. See our battery backup page for details.
Will panels damage my roof?
No. Our C-46 licensed installers use professional mounting systems designed to protect your roof, and every installation is permitted and inspected.
What rebates or incentives are available?
Incentive programs change frequently and several closed or changed recently — we’d rather check what’s actually live for your address than quote you something stale. Call us and we’ll tell you what your project qualifies for today.
Can you install an EV charger with my solar?
Yes — a home EV charging station pairs naturally with solar PV. Charge overnight from your battery or midday from your panels, and drive on the cheapest miles you’ll ever buy.
