Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Just fantastic from start to finish. We were interested in solar and met with Josh for an initial consultation. He was incredibly informative and applied zero pressure. He explained the process, what our expectations could be, and the various programs and incentives we would be eligible for. We took about two months to mull it over and met with two other companies and there was no doubt who we felt most comfortable and confident with. After we signed, Josh handled all the hoops of the Burbank permitting process flawlessly and with great communication. The installation was perfect and his crew were punctual, clean, and polite. After installation, Josh again handled all the hoops of the inspection and Permission To Operate paperwork beautifully. We are now up and running and really happy with the results. We cannot recommend Josh and the Next Door team highly enough. "

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Santa Monica, CA

The physical construction phase typically requires two to four months following the receipt of all necessary approvals. At the same time, the entire development process from initial concept to operation generally spans three to five years. Factors affecting the timeline include site conditions, workforce size, and project scope. The majority of the development period involves securing regulatory approvals, completing environmental studies, and establishing utility interconnection agreements.

Developing a solar farm requires an average of $400,000 to $500,000 per acre for equipment and installation, excluding property acquisition expenses. Based on industry averages, a six-acre installation typically supports one megawatt of capacity, capable of powering roughly 164 homes. Project economics vary significantly depending on whether land must be purchased or leased, with substantial regional variations in property values.

A solar installation can generate an average of $14,000 to $40,000 annually per megawatt, with variations based on electricity rates and contract terms. Annual maintenance expenses of approximately $15,000 per megawatt must be factored into financial projections. Most facilities operate under long-term agreements spanning 15 to 25 years, providing revenue stability throughout the project lifecycle.

A 20-acre property can support a viable commercial solar installation. Based on industry averages, this area could accommodate approximately three to five megawatts of capacity, sufficient to power 600 to 1,000 residences. This scale falls within the commercial solar farm category, offering enough capacity to achieve reasonable economies of scale while remaining manageable for smaller developers or community-based projects.
