"Baker enables Southern California homeowners to generate, manage and use their power to save money, be comfortable and protect the planet. We intelligently bring together home comfort and energy solutions like solar, battery storage, roofing, EV charging, heating and air conditioning to help homeowners save money and help create a resilient and clean energy future."

"I’m so excited today. Baker Electric is completing the installation of my Tesla battery which will connect to my solar system. The entire process has been seamless. From the very beginning I received informative emails from the office keeping me up to date about required permits, process needs and what to expect next. As luck would have it, I also received a call that the workers could come to my home a day earlier than I was promised and they asked if I wanted them to start early! I knew when to anticipate their arrival and what they would need to get started on the project. Before the workers began the installation of my battery, they reviewed what the two-day process would look like and when to expect my electricity to be turned off. As they worked, they kept the work area clean, reminding me where they were in the process, and when the electricity would be off. No matter how many questions I asked, they acted like responding to me was a priority and didn’t walk away unti"

Heating or AC problems? Have a clog or a leak? John Padilla Plumbing, Heating and Air has proudly served San Diego county since 2010 focused on reliable and the highest quality service. Call now to schedule your service!

"Thank you to Julio Valle from John Padilla Plumbing, Inc. After I had a lukewarm shower, I called Padilla Plumbing based on their 5 star reviews on various platforms. They had an opening the next afternoon. The gentleman on the phone gave me an estimate for replacing the water heater if that was necessary & told me their service charge would go toward any repair that they did for me. The next day, a gentleman called to say the plumber was running late & would miss the time window. What would I like to do? I opted to have the plumber come the same day if he could do it in the daylight. Julio arrived about 20 minutes later! Yay!! Julio was very professional & courteous. He tested the in-house faucets (upstairs & down) for water temperature. Then we went down to the water heater in the garage. He adjusted the temp on one of the heating elements as it was much lower than the other one. Again, he tested water temps upstairs & the water was already warmer!! This seems to be a well-run, responsive plumbing company that I will call again when needed. Highly recommend."

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in San Diego, CA

Annual inspections are recommended for residential solar systems, though specific needs vary based on several factors. Newer installations in moderate climates require less frequent professional evaluation, while systems over a decade old or those in harsh environments benefit from more regular attention. Always arrange an inspection following severe weather events that might have damaged components or affected system performance.

Pre-inspection cleaning isn't necessary, as evaluating the current condition of your panels is part of the assessment process. Professional inspectors can effectively examine systems regardless of cleanliness level, as accumulation patterns often provide valuable diagnostic information. However, if panels are completely obscured by heavy debris, bird droppings, or other materials that prevent visual examination of the surface, a basic rinse might be helpful before the scheduled inspection.

A comprehensive solar inspection examines all system components, including panels, wiring, mounting hardware, and inverters. Technicians check for physical damage like cracks or delamination, evaluate electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and assess overall system performance against expected output levels. The inspection may also verify that safety systems are functioning correctly and that the installation complies with applicable codes and standards.

While traditional manual inspections are effective for most residential systems, specialized inspection methods may provide advantages for certain installations. Factors to consider include system size, roof complexity, accessibility challenges, and safety considerations. For multi-story homes or commercial installations where roof access is difficult or potentially hazardous, alternative inspection approaches offer improved documentation and reduced risk, though potentially at a higher cost.
