Day One Solar, Inc. is a Solar Energy Systems Company that was founded on the belief that providing clean, renewable energy to homes and businesses in Northern California is crucial to our energy future, and the future of our planet.

Adding a solar power system to your commercial building puts the business of energy production into your hands. Now you can share the benefits of cheaper renewable energy with your tenants and create a new source of revenue for your business.
Day One Solar works with schools, churches and other non-profits in our community to find unique solutions that can make clean renewable energy a reality for organizations that may otherwise not benefit from available subsidies.
Farmers rely on dependable sources of water to irrigate their crops. Inconsistent weather patterns force farmers to depend on irrigation pumps. Solar generated power can be an effective solution to offset this change in operating cost; providing you with a more predictable bottom line and protecting you from cost hikes charged by grid based energy.
The design process begins with a conversation, when we have the opportunity to get to know more about you and your solar energy goals. We determine your energy usage, establish the appropriate system size for your specific needs, then carefully select materials that meet our criteria for quality and cost. Finally, we assemble all the data, creating a system design and proposal at a competitive price per watt.
With a well thought-out plan and an approved permit, our installation team arrive at your address on the scheduled time and day, ready to go to work. After layout; the system is assembled and tested, then inspected before we submit your NEM paperwork to PG&E on your behalf. After just a few days, your solar electric generating system is online and powering your home or business. It is really quite simple!

Energy storage systems allow grid-tied residential and commercial solar customers to lower peak demand charges and lower energy costs. Solar by itself can cut monthly energy charges dramatically. Storage can amplify those savings by addressing demand charges. Combining solar and storage creates more ways to save and can be a winning combination for customers with the right energy profile.

Day One Solar CEO Tony Armor started the Jon M. Rumble Memorial Scholarship in 2016 in memory of his late cousin, U.S. Marine LCPL Jon Rumble, who was killed in action while on patrol in Quang Nam on December 26th, 1968. Jon was a bright and talented young man who enlisted in the Marine Corps to join his older brother in service of his country.
This scholarship exists to provide financial support to Veteran students at Cabrillo College who choose to enroll in CEM (Construction Energy Management) courses, in the hope that some may pursue a career in the renewable energy field.
