City of Orange Solar Installer — Historic Trees, Mixed Roofs
The City of Orange is not a blank tract. Old Towne trees, post-war streets, and hillside homes all sit on SCE. We prioritize accurate shade models over “offset 100%” language.
Licensed C-46 · Permits included · Orange local
Street trees are a production input
If the model ignores the camphor in the parkway, the first summer bill will. We measure shade and design around it.
Old Towne services are not Irvine services
We inspect. Upgrades happen. They are in the proposal when they are required.
Everything from composition to complex tile
One city, many roof eras. The plan set matches the house, not a template title block with “Orange” swapped in.
