Ready to cut your electricity bills and take control of your energy use in San Leandro, CA? Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions is a local, family-run solar company serving homeowners from Bay-O-Vista and Estudillo Estates to the neighborhoods near the San Leandro Marina. We design and build high-efficiency solar panel systems, pair them with battery storage, and handle the electrical work that ties everything together.
San Leandro enjoys roughly 260 sunny days a year, and its mild coastal climate keeps panels producing efficiently in every season. With PG&E rates climbing year after year, generating your own power is one of the few household costs you can actually lock down. The City of San Leandro encourages residential solar through its SmartSolar program, and homeowners can pair the federal solar tax credit with California battery incentives to bring down the upfront cost. Going solar can also raise your home’s resale value, a real advantage in the competitive Alameda County market.
We handle system design, permitting, and professional installation, so your switch to solar is smooth from the first consultation to activation.
Under PG&E’s current billing rules, storing the power you generate matters more than ever. A home battery backup system keeps your lights on during power outages across the East Bay and lets you use your own solar energy after the sun goes down.
As more San Leandro drivers go electric, charging at home is the easy answer. We install a Level 2 EV charger compatible with Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, and every major EV brand.
A smart panel upgrade lets you track and direct energy where it is needed, while a main panel upgrade makes sure your electrical system is ready for solar, batteries, and EV charging.
I've been working on a non-standard solar setup using an EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra X and EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 3, and finding a contractor who truly understood this type of system was incredibly difficult. I spoke with many contractors, and almost all of them sent salespeople who gave generic answers or tried to push cookie-cutter solutions that clearly didn't fit my setup.
Carlos was completely different.
From the moment he arrived, it was clear he wasn't a salesperson -- he's an engineer, and it shows. He took the time to deeply understand my system, reviewed actual spec sheets on the spot, and immediately identified issues that other contractors completely missed. Multiple companies told me Hyundai panels would work fine. Carlos checked the amperage limits, applied proper safety margin calculations, and clearly explained why those panels would not work with my EcoFlow system -- saving me from a costly mistake.
Given everything: His technical expertise, The level of detail and care, The ability to integrate with my existing system, The fast turnaround, And the much better pricing
Choosing Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions was a complete no-brainer.
Carlos is knowledgeable, meticulous, honest, and genuinely passionate about doing things the right way. After meeting him, I completely understand why this company has such strong Yelp reviews.
If you're in the Bay Area and need electrical or solar work done the right way, especially for a non-standard or custom system, I highly recommend Carlos and the team at Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions.

Bay Area systems typically run around $3 per watt before incentives, so a common 6 to 8 kW home system lands in the $18,000 to $24,000 range before the federal solar tax credit and any battery incentives. Your exact price depends on roof size, energy use, and whether you add storage.
Yes, for most homeowners, though the math has shifted. Because exported power earns less than it used to, pairing panels with a battery so you use more of your own energy at night is now the key to strong savings.
The on-site installation is usually one to three days. The full timeline, including design, permitting, and PG&E approval, generally runs a few weeks from signed contract to activation.
