San Diego Solar | Local Electricians in San Diego, CA

Yes, we frequently address this common and serious safety issue in older San Diego homes. As licensed journeyman electricians, we can thoroughly inspect your aluminum wiring system, identify points of concern like improper connections, and perform the necessary repairs or upgrades. This often involves installing special connectors rated for aluminum or, in some cases, recommending a partial re-wire with modern copper wiring to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable, especially before adding new loads like solar or an EV charger.

Absolutely. As one of the few local contractors licensed in both roofing (C-39) and solar (C-46), we are uniquely positioned to manage your entire project. We can inspect your roof, recommend repairs or a full replacement if needed, and then install the solar system on the new, solid surface. Combining these services into one contract not only ensures seamless workmanship and warranty but can also make the roofing work eligible for the federal solar tax credit, providing significant financial benefits.

Most solar companies specialize in only one trade. San Diego Solar is a full-service contractor with journeyman-level expertise in all three critical areas: electrical, roofing, and solar. Owner Dirk Hosmer has been a licensed contractor since 1995. This means we can identify and handle all aspects of a project—like a needed electrical panel upgrade or roof repair—internally. You get a single point of responsibility, ensuring the system is installed correctly for optimal performance and longevity, with no risk of leaks or electrical issues from miscommunication between separate subcontractors.
