Business Details
We are Applied Solar Energy, a locally owned solar and energy storage installation company serving the Monterey Peninsula. Our team has operated in the solar industry for over 40 years, having first opened our doors in Carmel Valley Village in 1982. We were the first company to bring solar power to the Monterey area, a milestone that reflects our long-standing expertise in the field. Our specialized skills span off-grid solar systems, grid-tied solar installations, large-scale commercial projects, and custom solar and battery storage design for residential and commercial properties. We solve complex energy challenges for homeowners, home builders, business owners, and community organizations across the Monterey region. Every installation we complete adheres to strict professional standards, including full compliance with California Solar Mandate requirements for new construction.
We prioritize transparency in all client interactions, providing clear pricing, honest assessments of system performance, and no hidden fees. Our maintenance team provides timely, effective troubleshooting and repairs for solar panels, inverters, and battery systems to minimize client downtime. We have earned national recognition for our high-efficiency, low-cost-per-kilowatt solar projects, including an award from Solar Builder Magazine for our 2019 Monterey Conference Center installation. Our commitment to client satisfaction drives every decision we make, from initial consultation to post-installation support and ongoing maintenance. We remain deeply rooted in the Monterey community, having partnered with local organizations, affordable housing initiatives, and community groups to expand access to clean energy.
