Solar Symphony

Solar Symphony is part of a contracting family that has been serving Californians for over 40 years. Aaron Eriksson grew up in San Diego contracting with his dad and eventually went on to build large commercial construction projects. It was here that he met Solar Symphony co-founder Rob Smith. Rob also spent many years in professional construction management and together Rob and Aaron have managed almost a billion dollars' worth of construction projects. Many of these projects were built for the U. S. military and were technically challenging with very demanding specifications and quality control requirements.

We have the good fortune of doing what we love. From the CEO to the 1st year solar technician, everyone at Solar Symphony shares a passion for solar energy and distributed generation technologies. There are so many reasons to be excited about solar energy! It is the solution to numerous problems in our world today. Solar energy is clean, abundant, distributed, renewable, and low cost. Since electricity powers modern life, low cost solar power allows our customers to enjoy a higher quality of life at a lower cost.

In 2017 the most compelling values in solar are to be found in the commercial space. There are two main reasons for this: economies of scale and two major tax incentives. As the size of a solar installation increases the cost of the system on a per Watt or per panel basis goes down significantly. These lower prices of course provide a much quicker return on investment and in general a more compelling value for the system owner. In addition to the low prices, there are often hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars in avoided tax payments created by a commercial solar installation.

There are a lot of very exciting things happening right now in the residential solar space! Technology improvements and innovations in recent decades have made today's solar much more powerful and efficient than it was even just five years ago. We've also made great strides in reducing costs, which has made the economics of residential solar power very attractive. In fact the deal is so compelling that some people believe it is a scam. It is not scam (at least not when you're talking to Solar Symphony) it is simply the magic of technology.

Solar Symphony has installed almost 1000 solar systems in California and Mxico, or more than five megawatts. Our installation crews take pride in their work and go to great lengths to balance optimized system performance, aesthetic concerns and any special requests of the customer with the unique constraints and challenges of each individual roof or site. Scroll through the photo gallery below. We think you'll agree that we normally are quite successful at balancing these competing concerns to come up with some of the best installations in the business.
