Company History

San Diego Solar has a fascinating origin story. It began in Santa Barbara, installing off-grid solar systems for remote mountain homes. When laws changed to allow grid-tied solar, owner Dirk Hosmer was among the first to get permits from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border. They installed some of San Diego's earliest commercial solar systems in the early 2000s, like the Ocean Beach Peoples COOP, long before most competitors arrived. This long history makes them a true pioneer in San Diego, CA solar energy.
