Our Process

Our Process: From Confused to Confident

At California Solar Broker, we don’t install panels we help you make the best solar decision possible. Our process is designed to remove stress, save you money, and keep you in control. From quote comparison to final installation, we’re with you every step of the way.

Evaluate Your Roof and Energy Usage

We start by analyzing your home or property’s solar potential. Using satellite imagery, shading models, and your electricity usage history, we assess how much energy your system needs to offset and whether your roof is structurally suitable for solar. If roofing or electrical upgrades are required, we flag those early so there are no surprises later.

Collect Bids from Multiple Trusted Installers

We reach out to our network of pre-vetted, top-tier solar installers each known for quality work, fair pricing, and strong warranties. We don’t just get quotes we get custom proposals based on your roof, your usage, and your goals. These are not cookie-cutter packages, but tailored solutions from trusted professionals.

Compare Bids Apples-to-Apples

Solar bids often look different, even when the systems are similar. We break down the technical jargon and standardize all proposals so you can see exactly what you’re getting: panel type and efficiency, inverter specs, warranties, system size, production estimates, total cost, and projected savings. No confusion. No guesswork.

Negotiate Better Pricing and Options

Thanks to our volume and long-term installer partnerships, we negotiate on your behalf to improve pricing, lock in better warranties, or secure adders like EV chargers or battery prep—at no extra cost. Our clients often save 10–20% compared to going directly to an installer.

Help You Pick the Best System

Once all bids are in and refined, we help you choose the best one based on your goalswhether that’s lowest cost, highest output, best equipment, or energy independence. We’ll also help you decide if battery storage or future add-ons make sense for your situation.

Guide You Through Financing and Paperwork

Whether you’re paying cash, going with $0-down financing, or exploring loan and incentive options, we walk you through everything. We help you apply for rebates, review contracts, and complete all documentation required by your utility, city, and lender. We ensure no step is missed and you’re fully informed.

Oversee Installation & Support

From site survey to installation, inspection, and final utility approval (Permission to Operate), we track every milestone and keep you updated. If issues arise, we’re your advocate—we coordinate with installers, troubleshoot delays, and make sure the job is done right. You’ll never feel left in the dark.
