- Your building’s energy needs throughout the year
- Total solar input available at your property at different times of the year
- On-site sun exposure
- Nearby shade sources (trees, buildings, hills)

Our Installation Process
Before scheduling a site visit, our team will learn more about your unique needs. We’ll discuss the size of your property, current energy usage, budget, timeline, and goals. Once we’ve established that your property is a good candidate for solar energy, our team will schedule an on-site evaluation. From there, we will suggest solar installation options that are appropriate for your property. Before starting the project, we’ll review the estimated costs and any potential challenges.

Solar Energy Battery
Solar power systems utilize batteries to store energy for later use. Your battery may include an inverter or integrated energy conversion abilities. If your solar panels are producing a surplus of energy, your battery allows you to store this for a later use. High capacity batteries store more energy and allow for a more energy efficient system. And since your battery saves power, it serves as a backup solution whenever there are power shortages in your area. At Christian Solar, we ensure quality by providing the best in batteries for our solar installations. To ensure you have the correct technology for your property’s needs, our team will include power usage estimates, along with the appropriate energy storage solutions.

Why Solar is the Energy Efficient Option
Solar energy has been available for several decades but has recently become more widely used across both residential and commercial properties in San Diego. Lighter, cheaper, and more energy efficient solar energy panels are making solar energy a realistic option for property owners across San Diego. Today’s energy efficient solar panels run at roughly 22% efficiency, compared to older models which delivered around between 8-10% efficiency. This means that new solar panels can convert a higher portion of the sun’s rays into usable energy. As solar energy technology continues to improve, consumers will enjoy increased efficiency rates and a higher level of energy output. Energy alternatives, including fossil fuels and natural gas, do not provide the same level of energy with such a low carbon footprint.
