American Solar

American Solar Corporation is the leading installer of high-quality solar systems for energy-smart homes and businesses in Northern California. On the leading edge of the smart energy revolution and with over 30 years of accumulated expertise in our field, we have completed over 100 Megawatts of solar and related clean energy projects to date. And we are not done. We envision a future where many more homes and businesses are using energy systems that are as smart as they are beautiful. As long-time General B contractors, we stand apart from the crowd of moderately experienced solar installers and their subcontractors.

Installing solar on your house or business is a straightforward process. When you meetwith one of our friendly solar energy consultants, you will get a complete and accurate understanding of the potential benefits of solar for your property. Once the consultant has processed the required data, you will receive a proposal that lays out the key aspects of your system, and offer you a very straightforward proposal. Your energy consultant will analyze yoursite for a photovoltaic (PV) system installation.

American Solar Builder Services caters to our partners in the construction trade. We design and build beautifully integrated solar solutions with superior aesthetics, for elegant homes and businesses. We have been fortunate over the last decade to collaborate with the best architects, premier builders and sub-contractors in the industry, on some of the most exquisite homes in the Bay area, California, and beyond. Solar energy systems reach their full potential when they are designed into a building or remodeling project from the start.

To deliver on your business objectives, your solar system needs to perform with the reliability and cost profile of a true business asset. A SUNPOWER system from American Solar meets these criteria with flying colors. Once installed to our exacting standards, your solar system will provide abundant energy at low rates, decade after decade, with the guaranteed predictability that is essential for solar. Tax credits and accelerated depreciation add further benefits, generating thousands in savings on both your Federal and State tax bills.

Any building with a roof that gets about four to five hours of daily sunshine is a prime candidate for solar. Solar energy costs about 50 to 75% less than the energy you buy from the utility. The cost of solar energy remains constant over time, while utility rates increase by 6.75% on average each year. The cost differential adds up to tens of thousands of dollars-often hundreds of thousands-in savings over the first twenty years alone. A house with between 400 and 1,000 square feet of unshaded roof space, oriented somewhere towards the east, south, or west, will accommodate a productive solar PV system.
