We've had our home 12.4kW panel + 30kWh battery system for about a year and it's been working great. I didn't know much about solar when I started looking into it back in July 2025. I had called a few installers and talked with the usual door knocking suspects, but none of them took the time to explain the details, options, and costs as clearly as Blake did. The great thing about Blake is that he really enjoys designing systems that work well, fit your needs, and save you money. The other quotes I got felt like cookie cutter systems, usually too small, not specific to our needs, and quite expensive. All said and done, conservatively speaking, we save about $250/month. And we all know costs have gone up since then. SHS Power isn't a huge company and they're genuinely interested in finding the right solution for you. For example, they installed a smart car charger that charges our EV with excess solar generated. Normally, that power would be sent back to SDGE, but with NEM 3.0 it's really not worth the trouble. If it works for your schedule, it's a game changer. Finally, I've heard some horror stories about systems that were installed, but couldn't get passed by the inspectors. I was super impressed with Dominic's ability to know what the inspectors were looking for and how to "speak their language". Passed on the first go. It was a small detail rather than something that was a terrible never ending blocker. If you've ever had to deal with government inspections, you know what I'm talking about. Every member of the team was professional and knowledgeable, every step of the process was done well. I can't recommend the team at SHS Power highly enough. If you're even thinking about getting solar, call SHS Power. read more

I was contacted very quickly by the owner, Blake, who very patiently worked with me to draft and revise a quote. Upon approving the quote, Nate promptly scheduled us to get our inverter replaced the very next week. And the team that arrived, Niko and Juan, were super nice and professional, and did excellent work. SHS Power did a fantastic job for us and gets our highest recommendation. :) read more

We needed to replace our solar inverter and they recommended an EcoFlow ocean pro hybrid inverter with a single storage battery. The installation was prompt and professional. This system is amazing - if you have an old standard solar inverter you should seriously consider upgrading to a hybrid inverter and battery storage. And give these guys a call! Special thanks to Dominic and Blake for getting us up and going!! Fantastic team! read more

Blake and his team were efficient and able to get us everything we wanted for a price that was reasonable! We wanted 42 panels and 4 Tesla batteries and they delivered! We would definitely use them for any other solar needs we have. read more

They are working on a solution to help me get my Sun Power battery back online. It's been offline for months and want it to be back online for the summer before we start to get power outages read more

We had a fantastic experience with SHS Power. They're extremely knowledgeable and really look at your long-term needs, not just the immediate install. They set us up for off-grid readiness and even installed a backup switch so if anything ever comes up in the future, we can go straight to the grid without any stress. The system is incredibly smart -- it even monitors weather patterns and will pre-charge the battery overnight (when power is cheapest) if cloudy weather is coming so you're never caught without backup. The crew was professional, the install was clean, and the communication every step of the way was excellent. It's rare to find a company that plans ahead for you and genuinely cares about getting it right -- we highly recommend SHS Power. read more

SHS Power - Solar Installation Near Me - Chula Vista, California

After two years of looking at vendors, I found SHS - a solar / battery storage installer I really like and trust. Look in the photos for the 1st electric bill after the installation. I had to underline May - there's no bar above that month because the house hasn't used any electricity from the grid since the day SHS switched on the system. Today, it was 90 degrees here in Escondido, CA. The AC was free all day and night, and I can set that thermostat anywhere I want! SHS was the 4th company to come out to the house and the only one that had the equipment brands I had heard about and that could move things along at a decent pace. They are a full-service energy company, not just solar and batteries. The company is veteran owned. When Blake first came to the house, I thanked him for his service. Blake, Nate, and Ralphy are incredible! They installed one 14kwh battery (See photo). Glad I didn't have to lift it! The whole system can go outside too. It was going to be too close to my trash cans so I asked for it to be inside. My home was built in 1993, and you wouldn't believe what a mess Ralphy had to sort out in the Challenger service panel (circuit breaker box). What a rat's nest. Now it's clean and tidy with all new breakers. They helped me avoid installing those "Solar Ready" panels for $4100. I had my heart set on EG4 electronics inverters and batteries. SHS knows that product like the back of their hands. The equipment is hardened against EMPs. I hope never to test that! But it feels good to have. And during power outages, my family will be comfortable with lights, intranet, and AC (until it "load sheds" at 50% battery remaining). I chose the best reviewed solar panel to put on the roof - REC Alpha Pure RX. Ridiculously performant. More than anyone needs to spend to get the job done, really. But SHS goes through all that... what panels make sense for you. Specs: 13 REC Alpha Pure RX 460-watt panels EG4 12kPV Inverter - 12k watts of solar handling, 8 kilowatts production at 240 volts, color LCD screen, remote monitoring EG4 14kWh all-weather battery SHS also does battery retrofits into existing systems, which can make a difference depending on what NEM agreement is in play. SHS took care of permitting, which I absolutely refuse to do. I can't stand working with the county.... makes me miserable. SHS just did all that, and fast! read more

Blake and his team were great! They were attentive, clean, and thorough from start to finish. There are a lot of companies out there, but I went with Blake because of his professionalism, knowledge, and for keeping my families best interest in mind. Top notch customer service! Definetly recommend SHS for any of your solar needs. read more

Dominic installed a ceiling fan for us. First rate electrician. In addition, he is a first-rate man to work with and charged a reasonable fee. Extremely happy we chose this company. read more

I highly recommend SHS Power! Blake answered the phone immediately, scheduled the appointment, arrived onsite within a couple of hours, solved the issue, and followed up with a professional email, with a report! Outstanding Service! Thank you Blake! read more

Very positive experience with this solar and battery project vendor. One tip for homeowners considering solar: there are many "brokers" who act as intermediaries between you and the actual provider. This is not one of them -- they handle both project planning and execution. My recommendation is to avoid brokers - they tend to know less and have less control over the outcome (and generally quote higher prices). Great crew, clean install. It's been about eight months since the work was completed, and I'm very happy with the results. Power was recently cut from 9 PM to 9 AM, and my battery backup handled it beautifully. The reduction in electricity costs has been exactly as predicted. I also really appreciate that post-sale support has been excellent. Highly recommended! read more

Great company. Dominic is very knowledgeable and professional and he was a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend SHS.

One of San Diego's best I was desperate to relieve myself from $1000+ SDGE bills every month. So I reached out to several solar companies to find a solution. I found many who were quite willing to overcharge and oversell. Imagine my surprise when I found a company who actually showed up to my house to talk through my power needs. Imagine my happiness when their estimate came in 10s of thousands of dollars UNDER the others. And, finally imagine the satisfaction of talking to an engineer from the company who help me make sense of the bid they made and how it would actually save me money. That company is SHS Power. I even had a whole home generator from the SDGE program, and they were able to integrate it into the system. GENIUS!!! Remember those SDGE bills I had? The system that SHS designed FOR ME has eliminated those bills completely!!! I am a solar nerd now, checking my solar system from the app, and laughing all the way to the bank! Thank you SHS Power!!! read more

I got an inverter, battery and car charger installed to augment my solar array by Blake and his team. From start to finish they had great customer service and I'm really pleased with the result. The battery works great and has dramatically reduced my power consumption. I would highly recommend SHS Power. read more

I worked with Blake on getting a new roof and solar. He spent a lot of time with me over the phone talking about the process and cost/benefit of different things. Blake was prompt in responding to my questions. The cost of the solar was one of the lowest quotes I got for purchase . They did all the permits and paper work for me without issue. One big perk with working with Blake is he is able to get you the federal tax credit up front. You don't need to front the money and get it back as a tax credit (you need to owe taxes). The reroof and solar installation started on a Monday and finished the next Monday. They get things done fast. The system was up and running that Monday. We got approval to export to the grid on Thursday. This was a lot faster than I expected and a lot smoother than the stories I've read about solar installations online. Speaking with someone else in SD that recently got solar. It seems my system has more value and has less hiccups. I would recommend Blake and his team. Currently working with Blake to get another battery installed because of really good pricing. read more

These guys are amazing. First of all, Blake didn't try to oversell and his price was about 20% less than the other veteran-owned company, even though the other company was going to use my old inverter. I wanted to add about 50% more capacity plus a battery to my existing solar system without jeopardizing my NEW 1.0 status, and they did more than that! I'm getting about 60% more power than before and the battery is amazing. I had decided to replace my shingle roof and SHS removed my old solar panels in one day just before the roofers came. The week after the roofers were done, they showed up and in two days they reinstalled the old panels, installed new panels, new inverter and battery. They completed everything in two days before the sun had set! My neighbor waited months for his solar installation. They also did an amazing job squeezing the six new panels on a corner of the roof where there is no shading. If you want to upgrade like me, or for new solar, don't consider anyone other than Blake and his team at SHS Solar. read more

I used SHS a few years back to hang some TV'S and run some wiring. They did a great job so I called them to add some extra solar panels to my existing installation. The reason was that my bill was slowly creeping up again and we recently traded our gas-powered car for a Tesla. Not only did they add a few panels at a reasonable cost, they suggested a battery backup which would allow me to reduce my power bill to almost zero. All I did was send shs power to my electric bill and they figured out it will take 4 years for me to recover my investment in full. The best was when they had a shipping delay and it took a few extra weeks to get the batteries delivered, they apologized and threw in a car charger install for free. If you are tired of power outages and ever increasing SDG&E bills look into battery back up. Outstanding service! Thanks a lot! read more

We used SHS power to install and wire 4 post lights and 4 pier-mounted lights in our backyard. We had a great experience working with Dominic and Blake. They put in the time to learn about what we wanted and provided professional recommendations on the best ways to execute. We will use them again for any future projects and will also be recommending them to our friends and family. Thank you! read more

Blake, Dominic, and their team were amazing. Super responsive, professional, and were able to complete several projects in our old home that had all sorts of funky wiring that they had to sort through. Total project included can lighting in the office, fixing and wiring 3 broken outlets, and hanging new light fixtures. They even did us a solid by fixing two light fixtures for free! read more

We used SHS Power for a challenging job properly running power through the attic to a new A/C system. Absolutely top notch service and workmanship -- can't recommend them enough! read more

Thank goodness I found SHS Power (on Yelp). I'm a senior and live in an apartment. Well, I needed a ceiling fan replacement because what was there was a dinky little one and it really needed replacing. I wasn't sure if they handled that kind of electrical work, so I took a chance, messaged them and I'm so glad I did. Blake replied immediately and answered all my important questions. We then spoke on the phone which is always a plus as far as I'm concerned. Blake was professional, nice and made an appointment for me within 2 days which I wanted and the time I liked. On the date of my appointment Dominic called beforehand to let me know he was on his way. He arrived on time and did an excellent job! Dominic is professional, polite, friendly and all the good things you can say about a person. He even picked up after himself, big plus. This really is a good business; I would most definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a job well done, and I will recommend them to friends. Thank you, gentlemen, my apt. is now cooler during this retched heat wave. read more
