Why Choosing a Local Solar Company Like Sun Light & Power Beats the Nationwide Giants

Local Blog Hero

When it comes to going solar, homeowners and businesses face a key decision early in the process: should you go with a big national brand or a trusted local company?

At Sun Light & Power, we’ve been serving California communities since 1976. As one of the most experienced solar companies in the country, we’ve seen the solar industry change a lot, but one thing has stayed the same: local companies offer better long-term value.
 

Here’s why choosing a local partner like us makes all the difference:

1. We’re Your Neighbors

National solar companies often treat projects as numbers in a database. At Sun Light & Power, your solar system isn’t just another job. We’re part of this community! We shop at the same stores, send our kids to the same schools, and live under the same sun.

That means we’re personally invested in your satisfaction and in the long-term health of your system.
 

2. You Get Real People, Not Call Centers

With big corporations, customer service can feel like a maze. Endless phone trees, long wait times, and reps who don’t know your name or your project.

When you call us, you talk to a real person right here in California. Whether it’s a question about your installation or a service need years down the road, our team is here for you.
 

3. We Know California Inside and Out

Solar policies, rebates, and permitting rules vary dramatically from state to state, and even city to city. National companies often stumble through local requirements, leading to delays or design issues.

Our team knows the ins and outs of California solar. We’ve worked in your city, we know your utility, and we’re pros at navigating the permitting process.
 

4. We’re In It for the Long Haul

Some national companies are in and out of markets within a few years, and too many solar customers are left with no one to service their system.

Sun Light & Power has been around for nearly 50 years and we’re not going anywhere! Our solar installations are built to last, and so is our commitment to our customers and community.
 

5. We Prioritize People and Planet, Not Just Profits

We’re a Certified Benefit Corporation for Good and 100% employee-owned, which means we hold ourselves to high standards of environmental and social responsibility.

We don’t answer to shareholders, we answer to you and to the future we’re all building together.
 

Choose Local. Choose Sun Light & Power.

Going solar is one of the most important decisions you can make for your home, your wallet, and the planet. When you choose Sun Light & Power, you’re getting a partner who’s rooted in your community, powered by purpose, and dedicated to doing things right.
