California's energy code requires solar on most new homes and ADUs. We design and install the system your build needs, so you can keep your focus on the rest of the project.
Title 24 has required solar on new homes since 2020
California's Energy Code, Title 24, Part 6, sets how energy-efficient a new building has to be. It's often called the California solar mandate: since 2020 it has required solar on new homes of three stories or fewer, and since January 1, 2023 on new detached ADUs.*See the note below
* This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice.
New homes of three stories or fewer need solar, and have since 2020.
New detached ADUs need it too, since January 1, 2023.
Garage conversions and ADUs built inside the house are usually exempt.
So are builds where the required system would be smaller than 1.8 kW.
How we help
The solar part of your build, from plans to sign-off
Title 24 makes solar part of every new home, but it doesn't have to be another thing you manage. These are the parts we take care of.
Designed for your build
We plan a system around your building and the solar Title 24 requires for it.
Tier 1, Class A equipment
Tier 1 panels and Class A fire-rated equipment, the same quality we use on every system we install.
Installation when you're ready
We install the system once your build is ready for it, so the solar fits into your schedule.
