Why Concord Property Owners Choose Our Team
Choosing a solar company is a long-term decision, because you want a partner that will still be here to support you years from now. Since 2003, our team at Cobalt Power Systems Inc has focused on serving Bay Area homeowners and businesses, including many properties in and around Concord. That history means we understand common roof types and how local utilities handle solar interconnections.
We pair that local experience with partnerships with leading manufacturers. As a Maxeon Preferred Partner, Tesla Premier Certified Installer, Enphase partner, QCells provider, first SunPower Elite Dealer, and SunPower Dealer of the Year, we work with some of the most respected names in solar. For you, this means access to high-performance panels, inverters, and batteries backed by strong manufacturer warranties.
Behind each project is a dedicated in-house team at our 10,000 square foot facility in Mountain View. Our CAD designers create precise system layouts for your roof, our logistics staff coordinates equipment and scheduling, and our 14 installation teams, supported by a fleet of 32 trucks, carry out the work. This internal structure gives us control over design quality and project timing, instead of relying on loosely managed subcontractors.
Every residential system we install includes a 15-year materials and labor warranty from Cobalt Power Systems Inc. We are fully bonded and insured, and we remain available after installation for maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades. Many clients come to us because they want that combination of deep experience, premium technology, and long-term support from a single provider.
Solar Installation You Can Count On
Solar can seem complex from the outside, especially when you hear about permits, inspections, and utility approvals. Our process is built to handle those details for you so you can focus on whether solar fits your goals. When you contact us, we start with a conversation about your home or business, your current energy use, and what you want solar to accomplish.
For properties in and around Concord, we review available roof space, shading from nearby trees or buildings, and your historical usage. Using satellite imagery, site photos, and, when appropriate, a site visit, our in-house CAD team designs a system layout tailored to your roof. This design is specific to your property and takes into account aesthetics, ease of maintenance, and electrical routing.
Once you are comfortable with a proposed design, our team prepares permit drawings and submits them to the building department that oversees your property. We also coordinate with the utility that serves your address to request interconnection and any required meter changes. Timelines for these steps depend on agency workload, and we keep you updated as your project moves through each stage.
Installation typically takes one to several days on site, depending on system size and complexity. Our crews arrive with all necessary equipment, protect your roof and work areas, and install mounting hardware, rails, panels, inverters, and electrical components. We work to minimize disruption to your household or business operations and leave the site clean at the end of each day.
After local inspectors and the utility complete their reviews and give permission to operate, we schedule a time to turn your system on and review basic operation with you. We help set up any monitoring tools so you can see your system’s performance. For residential clients, we return after the first year for a complimentary system checkup and panel cleaning.
From first conversation to system turn-on, our process typically includes:
- Initial consultation and review of your property and energy goals
- Custom system design created by our in-house CAD team
- Permit preparation and submission to the local building department
- Utility interconnection application and coordination
- On-site installation by our trained crews
- Inspections, utility approval, and system activation
- First year checkup and panel cleaning for residential systems
Solar Options For Concord Homes & Businesses
No two properties are quite the same, and our designs reflect that. In many Concord neighborhoods, homeowners have pitched composition shingle roofs or tile roofs with varying orientations. We look at your available roof planes, shading patterns, and visual preferences to determine where panels make the most sense and how they will look from the street and backyard.
For small and midsize businesses, we commonly work on flat or low-slope roofs, as well as carport structures and parking areas. We design systems that work with your operations, taking into account equipment on the roof, access paths, and business hours for installation. Our goal is to add a reliable energy resource without creating unnecessary disruption to your staff or customers.
Many clients are also thinking about backup power and electric vehicles. We integrate energy storage systems that pair with your solar array so that, in the event of a grid outage, critical loads can continue to operate for a period of time, depending on your configuration and usage. We also install systems that support EV chargers and can coordinate related electrical upgrades when needed.
We regularly design and install systems such as:
- Residential rooftop solar arrays for single-family homes
- Solar systems for small and midsize commercial buildings
- Carport and parking canopy solar for businesses
- Grid-tied PV systems paired with battery storage
- Solar installations that accommodate current or future EV charging
Because we have experience with grid-tied PV, storage integration, EV chargers, and electrical work, we can help you think through both your immediate needs and future plans. During your consultation, we discuss whether it makes sense to include storage or EV infrastructure now or to design with a path for adding those components later.
