We started in 2001 as a San Diego company dedicated only to solar installations and have been an innovator and industry leader from the start. Over the years we’ve expanded to include home batteries and EV chargers, but our core and singular business has been showing homeowners how to produce, manage, and use energy that their own home can provide to them.
We’ve honed our process of working with our customers to create the right system for them over the coming decades. We educate homeowners as far as they want to learn so they can fully understand, appreciate, and enjoy what solar energy can bring to their lives. We continue to be a friend and resource and will always be here. We have been in the solar installation business since 2001 – something few other companies can claim. We’ll be here when you need us tomorrow and we’ll still be here when you need us after thousands more bright, sunny days in Southern California.
HES Solar strives to provide Southern California homeowners with peace of mind knowing their solar panel system has the best-combined product, power, and installation warranty. The systems are designed to give you more electricity and more energy in less space while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your home.
The residential-only entity HES Solar has redefined its scope and has narrowed its focus to home solar service and home battery service. The impact of 2023 California regulations to home solar projects has required this company truncation; we regret the elimination of new home energy installations from our offerings. HES Solar now concentrates on supporting existing systems with maintenance and repair services for HES Solar and non-HES Solar systems and remains available for workmanship warranty work on qualified HES Solar systems.

A note on the state of California residential solar: The residential solar industry has faced significant financial hurdles in the last few years as a direct result of hostile policy, most notably NEM 3.0. Our primary trade partner, SunPower, went into Chapter 11 in August, 2024, and a majority of other solar companies, large and small, have been forced to close, leave California, or restructure. We are glad to remain available as a home energy service group to support our customers and provide maintenance and repair for home systems that have been orphaned by other company closures.
We recognize your frustration with this news and never intended for our beloved 24-year-old residential solar business to curtail its offerings.
