Trusted Home Solar Panel Experts

Energy Services

We’re ready to be your partner in your energy production and management journey. Whether you’re looking to expand, monitor, maintain, or restore your home’s energy, lighting, or looks, we have a multitude of options at your service.

HES Solar systems include top manufacturers’ warranties, a 10-year Workmanship warranty and a 5-year monitoring equipment warranty. If you are experiencing any concerns or questions with your HES System, please call Service at 619.692.2015.

Solar System Post-Installation Projects

Below are some of the upgrades, additions, and other services we offer. In most cases you will not see a published price because each system and house has a unique design, and job size can require a permit for the project. HES Solar stands behind the work we do and we do it right for today and for tomorrow. If you are price shopping, please consider value over initial cost as we will do the job once and do it right.

We will provide a standard service evaluation visit within our territory for a one hour visit, which in many cases includes the completion of the needed adjustment or repair. Each additional hour or hours beyond that is billed. For repairs outside of our territory our hourly minimum increases to two hours, which increases the base price for the visit, with any additional hour or hours beyond that billed. We will service any brand or installer’s system with the stipulation that it must be a permitted system.

We commonly perform this service when homes have a new roof installed. Though a panel array will help protect the roof below it, in the case of a complete roof replacement the rooftop solar panels must be removed. Please call for a quote as each job is unique and variables such as system size, roof materials, roof pitch, array layout, etc. all play into the total job requirements.

Often a component to a full solar system install, a 240 volt EV charger installation, or simply just the 240 volt outlet (allowing the homeowner to purchase the charger of choice separately) is a relatively small electrical job to bring high speed charging to any garage whether or not the home is equipped with a solar system or home energy storage system.

We’ll show you the best EV chargers available for your needs whether you want us to ensure your charging station is optimized with your home solar system, help you best use a home energy storage system with EV changing, or simply evaluate your home electrical circuits and build you a properly-placed 240-volt car charger outlet.

For homeowners moving into a home with a pre-installed solar system that doesn’t match the family’s needs, to households with energy needs outside of homeowners’ expectations when designing their properly-sized system, to systems designed inadequately by other installers, we can expand nearly any system. Please call for a quote, as the brand of the current panels as well as roof and array design all factor into each custom panel addition project.

This service is included in our Gold and Diamond warranty packages but can also be purchased as a stand-alone project. Please contact us for pricing.

Other Services

Actively ventilating your home’s attic will allow your AC to work less, last longer, and save money; a lower attic air temperature allows an entire house to cool quicker and stay cooler with less energy expended.
We can open skylights or route solar tubes to bring sunlight in for bright, natural lighting during the day that requires zero electricity.
To eliminate concerns of pests or birds creating homes or nests under rooftop panels, we will set up micro fencing from the rooftop array to the roof to keep critters out without restricting airflow under your panels.
An aesthetic addition for homeowners who prefer the look, solar skirts give the front edge of rooftop solar panels a more solid and connected look by visually bridging the front edge of the rooftop array to the roof.

IMPORTANT COMPANY INFORMATION​

HES SOLAR REMAINS OPEN FOR SERVICE

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. 

For commercial solar and commercial energy storage design, installation, service, and O&M offerings, please visit the HES Renewables website hesrenewables.com

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.
