Your roof is a power plant waiting to happen. Bear Solar designs, installs, and stands behind residential & commercial solar and battery storage — turning free California sunshine into decades of lower bills and real energy independence.
01 — Residential Solar
Solar built to lower what you pay for power
Custom solar & storage systems designed around your usage and utility-rate structure — so you generate your own power, shrink your monthly bill, and enjoy real energy independence. Whatever your needs, Bear Solar builds a solution that fits your home and your budget.
Savings and bill comparisons are estimates, not guarantees — actual results depend on your usage, site, utility rate plan, system size, financing, and available incentives, and vary by home. You’ll receive a personalized written estimate before you sign.
Every property, every roof
Mounted your way
Rooftop, ground, metal, flat, or manufactured home — Bear Solar engineers the mount to your site, not the other way around. One expert crew, every install type.
02 — Commercial Solar
Turn your roofline and parking lot into profit
From warehouses to retail, we develop commercial solar that slashes operating costs, hedges against rising rates, and delivers a return your CFO will actually smile about.
03 — Utility & Commercial Storage
Store the sun. Use it on your terms.
Large-scale battery storage that banks daytime production for peak hours and outages — shaving demand charges and keeping critical operations running when the grid can’t.
04 — Solar Carports + EV Charging
Shade that pays you back
Elevated solar canopies turn open parking into clean generation, while EV chargers underneath keep fleets and customers powered — one structure driving three revenue streams.
Why go solar now
California power keeps getting pricier — and less predictable.
Across California, electricity rates have climbed faster than almost anywhere in the country, while wildfire-season shutoffs and new solar rules keep reshaping the math. Here is what the last decade actually looks like — and why owning your power with solar and storage has never made more sense.
Southern California residential rates nearly doubled
PG&E climbed 118% in a decade
Rate hikes vs. inflation, 10-year change
Commercial power surged too
Rising rates
Rates doubled. Your roof can lock in your own price.
California electricity has climbed roughly three and a half times faster than inflation. Going solar generates power at a fixed, predictable cost instead of riding the utility escalator.
Wildfire & PSPS
When the grid shuts off for safety, your battery keeps the lights on.
Wildfire-season Public Safety Power Shutoffs can darken homes for hours or days. Solar-plus-storage keeps essentials like your fridge and Wi-Fi running while the grid is down. Backup runtime is limited and depends on your battery capacity and sunlight — it isn’t a substitute for medical-grade backup, so anyone relying on life-support equipment should keep an independent backup plan and enroll in their utility’s Medical Baseline program.
NEM 3.0
The rules changed — batteries are now the smart move.
Under NEM 3.0, credits for exporting daytime solar dropped sharply. The winning play is storing your midday production and using it at night, so you keep the value your panels create.
Energy independence
Stop renting power. Start owning it.
Utility bills only move one direction. Producing your own electricity turns a rising monthly expense into a fixed asset on your roof — and real control over your supply.
Home resilience
A home battery is peace of mind you can measure.
A battery banks your solar for evening peak rates and outages alike, shielding your family from both high time-of-use pricing and unexpected blackouts.
Business & demand charges
Cut demand charges and run through anything.
Commercial power now tops 25¢/kWh, and demand charges punish every spike. Solar-plus-storage shaves those peaks and keeps critical operations online during outages.
Sources: U.S. EIA Form 861 and CPUC Public Advocates Office electric rate reports. Figures reflect data through 2024; PG&E’s 2024 peak has since eased. Some intermediate line points are read from published rate charts (±~0.5¢). Actual savings vary by site, usage, and rate plan.
Flexible financing
Go solar with $0 down.
Own it, lease it, or pay only for the power you use — Bear Solar tailors the plan to your budget and your goals, and walks you through every number from the comfort of your home.
Little to nothing down, and the panels are yours — so you keep any incentives you qualify for and build home equity. Many homeowners see a monthly loan payment lower than their recent utility bill, though savings aren’t guaranteed and depend on your usage, rate plan, system size, and financing terms.
No upfront cost and one fixed monthly payment. We design, install, monitor, and maintain the whole system — you just enjoy a predictable bill.
Pay only for the clean power your roof produces, often at a rate below your current utility rate. PPA rates may include an annual escalator and depend on future utility rates, so savings aren’t guaranteed. We show you every assumption before you sign.
No showroom visit required — we design your system and review your options together, online, right from your couch. Financing is provided by third-party lenders and is subject to credit approval; $0-down and specific loan, lease, or PPA terms aren’t available to all applicants. Bear Solar Inc. is a solar contractor, not a lender.
Reviews from Google
Easy to switch. Real savings.
These experiences are from individual Bear Solar customers and aren’t a guarantee of the savings, rebates, equipment, or results you’ll receive. Actual savings and incentive eligibility depend on your site, energy use, utility rate plan, system design, and financing, and differ from customer to customer.
“My experience with Bear Solar was outstanding from start to finish. Jorge’s communication was excellent, and Ruben’s team did a superb job — permits, the on-time install, city inspection, and all the SDGE paperwork handled. An absolute pleasure; I highly recommend Bear Solar.”
“Eight months later, it’s the best decision I’ve made — my system works great. Their price was very competitive and they were honest about the system and the process. Bear Solar scores a 10/10 on after-sales support; they really work to make sure the customer is satisfied.”
“We now have a battery backup system — two Powerwalls — thanks to Bear Solar’s diligence with the installation, approval, and dealing with the power company to obtain our rebate. We’re very happy with Azim and his crew!”
“Great service. Very pleased. I appreciate the savings and their ability to individualize and accommodate to our needs.”
The future of energy is here.
