Solar Orphan Rescue
The solar industry has a churn problem — installers go out of business, exit the residential market, or simply stop returning calls. The panels keep producing. The phone number stops working. Perk Solar services those systems anyway, regardless of who installed them, regardless of how old they are.

Projects

























Tesla-forward storage
Export rates collapsed when NEM 3.0 hit. Storage is no longer a nice-to-have — it's the math. Perk Solar is a Tesla-certified Powerwall installer and works across Enphase, Point Guard, and EcoFlow to size storage around your real loads, your rate schedule, and your resilience tolerance.

Best-fit segments
We've quoted commercial solar across every industry. These are the ones where the math is cleanest — predictable demand, meaningful utility exposure, and roofs or yards that can host the system.

Customer proof
Voices from real Perk Solar customers, drawn from reviews already published on the live site. Exact quote copy should be confirmed against approved source language before publish.
Punctual, courteous, and clean. Their team showed up when they said they would and left the job site cleaner than they found it.
The system design was accurate and the expertise showed at every step. They knew the rate schedule, the panels, and the install — and they explained it without the sales pressure.
They did a thorough roof inspection before quoting and the installation was meticulous. Years later the system still runs the way they said it would.
Pricing was competitive and approval came through in 37 days. The whole experience felt like they actually wanted the project done right.
Common questions
The questions San Diego customers actually ask before signing. If yours isn't here, send a bill and we'll answer it with real numbers.
Yes — but the math shifted. Export rates collapsed, so the value of solar now lives in self-consumption. We design systems around what you actually use during daylight, and pair with battery storage so what you produce mid-day powers the house through the peak-rate window. If your bill is over ~$180/month, the math usually still works.
Conversion
