PPAs
If you’re looking for solar on a payment plan, I will find a quality install company, make sure the price is fair, oversee the plans and permitting, and a manager will be there the install day to ensure everything goes according to plan.
Own Your System
Cash is the best investment you can make in getting solar on your house. The way solar companies make money, is if you do a PPA where you pay the solar co. instead of PGE, the solar co. owns your system and they get the 30% fed tax rebate.
Home-Owner Builder Permits
Nick is a solar specialist who can do consulting for homeowners interested in getting a homeowner-builder permit, acquiring professional plan sets, walking you through the purchasing of materials, and if needed assisting you in the install of solar panels. This will get you, the homeowner, the same solar system at about half the cost.
Battery (Add-Ons / New)
Our team is battery experts who can really help you understand how they work, the benefits, incentives, and the real way to use batteries to save lots of money.
Ground Mounts

History
Established in 2023.
CA Solar Guru is owned and operated by Nick Vecchio, a solar installer and battery technician with 10+ years of experience. This includes 3 years as Operations manager of a Sunrun partner office, running 9 crews making anywhere from $1-$2 million a week for Sunrun. Before O.M., he was the field super, services, battery installer, Main Electrical Panel Upgrades, and crew lead.
“I saw how the sales reps were not doing right by customers, and they had little to no actual Solar experience and didn’t know how the batteries worked. So, I left a top 10 solar company to actually get quality installs to homeowners at a fraction of the cost.”
Many times after speaking to me, customers that got a recent solar install say, “I wish I met you a year ago.” Because I speak the truth regarding the real options for solar. I want to reach you before the top 10 companies. Even if you don’t get solar through me, I’m happy if my knowledge helped you make a more informed decision.
Meet the Business Owner: Nick V.
I really have a passion for helping people, and becoming an expert solar installer with business background, I saw an opportunity to help people. I really enjoy talking or teaching people about the solar industry, and I train my guys to be informative, not deceptive.
Sad to say, but most solar sales reps have a bad name. They are known to use deceptive techniques, target the elderly, or sometimes the company is just so big, the customer falls through the cracks.
At the install company I was running, we would go to install one battery and the customer says, “it will back up my whole house right?” Then we break the news: “No, one battery can only backup 30A circuits or less.” Sometimes the install was cancelled, but sometimes they would do it anyways, regretting it a year later. This was a weekly occurrence.
I genuinely want to teach you about the products you will be getting, and make sure if we put a system on your house, it’s the last one you will have to get.
