Why Choose

SunVantage?

SunVantage provides all services from start to finish for a Solar system. We specialize in Ground Mounts, Battery/Solar systems, difficult residential installs, and we partner with an excellent roofer for homes that need it. There are several homes we have done over the years that have tried to get solar with several companies with no success because of one issue or another to later meet with SunVantage and shortly have the solar system installed that they wanted and usually at a price less than the competition. The way that we do this is by being a local company that doesn’t spend millions in advertising and build fancy buildings allowing SunVantage to offer great products at a lower price to the customer.

Locally owned and operated in San Diego 

SunVantage Longevity

One Question I get regularly is what if SunVantage or Brandon isn’t around in 20 years and I need something fixed on my solar system? Although I cant promise where any of us will be in in 20 years we work with a co-op through our providers so if that unfortunate scenario were to happen there will always be someone in network to fulfill your warranty.

Monitoring Your System

We provide monitoring for the customer so that SunVantage and you are able to see daily production of your system. We go the extra step and on most installs include a consumption monitor so that you are not only able to see what the system produces but what you are consuming on power. This solves 90% of customers frustrations with not understanding how the solar is doing comparatively to what they are consuming on a monthly or yearly basis.
