Built by homeowners who got tired of high utility bills
We started Integrated Energy because we lived the problem ourselves. Southern California rates were climbing, the grid was unreliable, and most solar companies were more interested in closing deals than doing right by customers.
Our story
Integrated Energy was founded a year ago in Temecula, CA with one goal: make solar simple, honest, and worth it for Southern California homeowners. We'd both been through the process as homeowners — the confusing proposals, the oversized systems, the installers who disappeared after the check cleared.
So we built the company we wished existed. With a combined 20 years of experience designing, building, and installing solar energy systems, we had the expertise — we just needed to do it right. Small enough to know every customer by name. Experienced enough to design systems that actually perform. And committed enough to still be here in 25 years when your warranty matters.
Today we serve homeowners across six Southern California counties, from San Diego to Ventura. Every system we install is designed in-house, permitted by our team, and backed by our own workmanship warranty — not outsourced to a subcontractor.
Honest sizing
We design systems based on your actual usage — not the largest system that fits on your roof. An oversized system is money you didn't need to spend.
No subcontractors
Every installation is done by our own NABCEP-certified crew. We don't hand your project off to a third party after you sign.
We handle everything
Permits, utility interconnection, inspections — we manage the entire process. You don't have to chase down paperwork or deal with the utility.
Long-term relationship
We're a local company. When you call us in year 10 with a question, a real person who knows your system answers the phone.
