As an Orange County resident, switching to solar panels for your household energy consumption is a wise decision. The money you save on utility bills translates to higher returns on your initial investment of purchasing a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel system. You will trade an expensive utility bill for a much lower monthly solar payment that contributes toward the ownership of your home PV system and qualifies you for the federal solar tax credit.
Selecting a solar PV system that meets your energy needs and your budget is critical to accomplishing your renewable energy goals. That’s why you need a trusted solar partner who can help design the most efficient system for your individual household.
Baker Electric Home Energy has been serving the Southern California community with energy solutions for 84 years. Our team of local, highly experienced solar consultants provides outstanding customer service, making us the best Orange County solar company.
We are committed to addressing all your concerns about going solar and determining the right solar PV system for your home.
How Does Solar Work in Orange County?
Orange County enjoys an average of 278 sunny days a year, making it an ideal location for reaping the benefits of solar energy. As a local resident, you can self-generate heat and electricity for your home and reduce your dependence on electricity from the grid by installing a PV system. However, you will continue your relationship with your utility company.
Under Net Energy Metering (NEM 2.0), you can send the additional energy you generate with your home solar system back to the utility company and receive credits in return. These energy credits can be used to pay for grid electricity consumed at night when solar panels are not generating electricity. However, you’ll still need to pay some nominal charges that solar cannot offset, like power line maintenance and low-income household assistance. A zero balance for your electric bill is still possible with a correctly designed solar panel installation.
With Baker Electric Home Energy, a solar installation in Orange County involves four easy steps: Consultation & Design; Engineering; Installation; and Operation. As the best Orange County solar company—with over 16,500 satisfied customers to date—you can rest assured that your home solar installation is in expert hands.

Customer reviews
I had a great solar purchasing experience from start to finish. The consultation was thorough and without pressure. Project milestones were clearly communicated via the Baker Solar web portal and the couple questions I had were answered promptly. The installation was clean and Baker was even able to hide much of the conduit after discussing options. Overall pricing was very fair compared to other quotes I received and Baker has been around a long time which also gave me piece of mind. Read more

Just had solar installed – Baker Electric did an excellent job. From the initial contact, to the roofing experts, to the installation crew – everyone was knowledgeable and professional. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire project. I would highly recommend this company for a seamless solar installation. Thank you Baker Electric for such a positive experience!

We are very impressed with the caliber of employees this company employs. It is a BIG investment for anyone who is putting in solar/batteries, etc., so you better get the best and most established company you can. There are solar company horror stories about “here today, gone tomorrow” everywhere you turn, but you won’t be one of them if you go with this 80 year old company. I chose them because they did a huge job for my employer 25+ years ago and I was a part of that build out. The company was very pleased. They’re still providing great service. A VERY special shout-out to Felix Ortiz and Bobby (sorry Bobby, I don’t know your last name). All the other folks who were here were great too. It was apparent that they enjoyed working with each other. Felix offered (and did) to paint the outside conduits to match our house. He was was not required to do it, but he did it to make us happy. You don’t get service like that anymore. Even if we have to swap out a light switch Baker is going to do it! Good job, Baker! Read more

I was very impressed with Tom Holmes w Baker Home Electric. He was exceptionally professional, very thorough and knowledgeable at an attractive price/value. Tom went well beyond the call of duty to help me fix my thermostat problems. I’m always sensitive to being sold more than I need when a new service technician suggests options. He was very courteous and made suggestions that were practical and sensible given my situation. I highly recommend Tom and Baker for any HVAC project. He is a hard worker and a genuinely nice and honest guy. Read more

Every step along the way with Baker to install solar has been smooth and efficient. They were straightforward, honest, and kept me up-to-date on everything. I researched solar companies and interviewed 3 of them. I was very impressed with Baker, plus they had the best reviews. Their prices were similar to other companies but they gave me an extra $1,000 off (someone referred me) and I am also going to receive $250 for a referral. I also took advantage of their no down, no interest, no payment offer that gives me 18 months to pay my solar installation costs. That allowed me to use my savings for a new roof and fence that I desperately needed. Go with Baker…you will have no regrets! Read more
Customer stories
It is just a marvellous thing to have solar during the day, battery at night, basically we are getting free electricity. Working with Baker has just been a fabulous experience. We would highly recommend them. Just great folks.
The communication with the project team was fantastic. We heard from them on a consistent basis. They let us know the steps of the process of putting in the system and what would come next.
We did not know a lot about solar. Speaking with our Solar consultant, he was there to answer any of our questions. He was always there when we needed him. Everyone is professional and polite. We could not have gone on with a better company.
