“Our consultant Adam even showed up and wire brushed and painted our main electrical panel that was looking pretty dingy. This was totally unexpected and much appreciated”
Example Project
Project Summary:
All German Auto was founded in 1991 and has an excellent reputation for taking care of their customers. After they conducted extensive research on solar providers, we are thankful and honored they choose Palomar Solar to help them go solar! It took a total of five months from the time the contract was signed to get their system up and producing. Our actual time on site was less than two weeks with all panels installed in a week.
The Challenge:
Our initial design was to have all the panels facing south. However, during our permit review the Fire department had asked for more room around the sky lights. This resulted in a significant amount of lost panels and production. In order to get the production All German Auto needed, we went to an East / West racking system that allowed us to meet our goals. The other challenge was the old existing main electrical panel. In order to be able to back feed all the solar power we ended up installing a new main electrical panel, which had to be custom made to fit in the available space. The job was completed just before the end of 2015 ensuring they received their tax credit.

Palomar Solar History
Our first system for Palomar Solar was installed on founder Dwight Anderson’s home in 2009. Dwight wanted the best system he could find and after extensive research realized that he knew more than the majority of companies he reached out to. That’s when he decided to not only do his own installation but to start Palomar Solar in an effort to better educate the public about solar. To this day all of the systems we have installed are based on our continued commitment to excellence and staying ahead of advancements in a rapidly changing industry.
