What is OC Solar?

How does OC Solar work?

OC Solar starts with an in-person consultation. This helps determine the best fit for your solar needs. Additionally, the consultant will determine what plan works best. Once a plan is complete and the quote is accepted, OC Solar manages your project with continual updates. Project management includes working to meet homeowners association requirements, material orders, structural work, electrical work and placard installation. This process takes around two to four weeks to get everything prepared for solar panel installation.

The last step is to get the solar panels installed. Professional installers can complete installation in as little as one day. After solar panel installation, you should have lower monthly utility bills and federal tax incentives. OC Solar warrants its products for 25 years. An installation warranty is also included.

OC Solar plans

OC Solar offers multiple plans and financing options for solar panel installation. These include:

  • Monthly loan: Monthly loans are available for homeowners with a zero-down-payment option. The monthly loan includes fixed monthly payments. This is OC Solar’s most popular financing plan.
  • Solar lease: Solar leasing is another financing plan option. Instead of owning the solar panels outright, a third party leases them to you. There are zero-down-payment options with a fixed monthly payment. The main benefit of a solar lease is that it offers the lowest monthly payment option.
  • Cash purchase: An outright cash purchase for solar panels offers the fastest return on investment. There is no monthly payment, and the solar panels are paid for in full.

All OC Solar plans include the enhanced 25-year installation and product warranty.

    I had a great experience with OC Solar. From the initial consultation through the final installation of my solar system and battery backup, they were organized, professional, and on schedule. Every step was explained clearly, and there were no surprises. The install team showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and kept everything tidy. The whole project was completed faster than I expected, and everything has been working perfectly. It’s a huge relief to know I’m covered during outages and reducing my electric bill at the same time. I’d gladly recommend OC Solar to anyone looking to go solar. Solid company, no headaches, and great results.

      My solar installation company had been bought by a larger firm. When I needed to update my equipment, the larger company would not respond to my contacting them. I reached out to OC Solar and they quoted me a price the same day. The job took much longer than I believe they expected, but there was never any talk of changing the quoted price. OC Solar ended up having to move a lot of my installation inside. The crew were great and did not take offense to my questions as they worked. After the installation of the updated and new equipment, Austin kept in contact with me and made sure my battery was communicating with the monitoring company. Overall we were extremely pleased with the price, the work, the staff and the follow-up. We highly recommend OC Solar.

      The level of customer service, quick responses, and attention to the detail really made this entire process smooth and stress-free for me and my wife! I was considering going solar since late last year in 2024 and finally took the courage to starting calling for quotes and information in January 2025. I contacted five (5) solar companies in total comparing prices, customer services, response time, etc. and in February 2025, I finally settled with the best which is OC Solar and have no regrets at all!!

      Since my first initial contact with OC Solar’s Solar Consultant, Mr. Sean **, to my current phase (Installation), this process has been extremely smooth and positive experience. From the point of me signing the contract agreement and making the initial deposit to my current phase (Installation), it has only been approximately five (5) weeks in total…amazing!!!

      Sean has been and still continues to be extremely informative, patience, supportive, and professional! On many occasions, I have asked Sean silly questions and/or concerns relating to my solar system and batteries where he would answer all my questions/concerns and encourage me to continue to ask more questions… showing his professionalism! Overall best things about Sean are his honesty and response time to my thousand questions, usually within minutes of me emailing him with questions, updates, and concerns… even on weeknights and weekends! This put me as ease as I know I have someone on my side as friend instead of a Sale Consultant just trying to close a transaction.

      I was so happy with Sean and OC Solar that I quickly referred my best friend who was also getting a solar system (same time with me) with another company to contact Sean for a quote. After my best friend spoke with Sean and getting a quote, he is currently trying to cancel his current contract to go with OC Solar/Sean. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the solar system and customer service that I getting from Sean ** and OC Solar. I know I got the best deal and product possible in this current market after contacting four (4) other companies and selecting OC Solar at the end… Thank goodness! I HIGHLY recommend anyone to contact Sean ** with OC Solar for a quote and you will not be disappointed!!

      I recently signed a contract with OC Solar, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From my initial consultation to finalizing the agreement, their team has been transparent, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to explain my options, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident in my decision to go solar.

      The entire process has been smooth and stress-free so far, and their customer service has been outstanding. I truly appreciate their commitment to making this transition as easy as possible. If the rest of the experience is anything like what I’ve seen so far, I have no doubt I made the right choice with OC Solar! I look forward to the next steps and highly recommend them to anyone considering solar energy.

      Nothing but the highest praise from beginning to end. Easy to discuss initial goals and bid, absolutely fantastic solar products and layout recommended in the bid and explained in detail, very competitive price (meaning much lower) compared to other companies offering similar product and installation, 5-star 25-year warranty on roofing installation and all products that were offered have extended warranty periods, complete project review done online and through phone calls, blown away with the detail and clarity of the official plans submitted to building and safety (approved without issues), and then 1-day complete installation of 26 panels and two batteries. I especially appreciated the close follow up by phone, calls to check if work was progressing as planned, and the installation team was so easy, efficient and took care of every detail. What more could you ask for from a company!
