Ambrose Solar began in 2013 when Pat Ambrose established Ambrose Construction, bringing more than a decade of experience from the general construction and subcontracting fields to Vacaville. After years of witnessing poor customer treatment and subpar workmanship in the solar industry firsthand, Pat and co-founder Ian Finger launched Ambrose Solar in 2017 with a clear mission: to deliver the quality and service that California homeowners deserve. What started as a reaction to an industry problem has grown into one of Solano County’s most trusted solar installers. Today, this Vacaville-based solar company provides full-service residential and commercial solar installation and battery storage solutions throughout Northern California, from Fairfield and Dixon to Benicia, Vallejo, and the greater Bay Area and Sacramento regions. Ambrose Solar has earned recognition as a SunPower Master Certified Installer, a designation awarded only to superior solar companies that meet or exceed SunPower’s rigorous standards across every facet of operations—from customer service to installation quality to post-installation satisfaction. The company also holds Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer status and has been named to Solar Power World’s Top Solar Contractors list, ranking among the nation’s leading installers. With a BBB A+ rating since 2013 and a 4.8-star average across hundreds of customer reviews, Ambrose Solar has built its reputation on transparent education, personalized consultation, and meticulous attention to detail. Their in-house team handles everything from initial design and permitting with PG&E to final activation and ongoing support, ensuring Vacaville homeowners experience a seamless transition to solar energy. The company’s commitment to quality extends beyond installation day—they offer comprehensive system monitoring and service for both systems they installed and those installed by other companies, providing peace of mind that comes from working with a local, established business. In a region where rising utility rates continue to impact household budgets, Ambrose Solar has helped hundreds of California families take control of their energy costs with high-efficiency solar panels, battery backup systems, and custom-designed solutions sized specifically for each home’s unique needs. Their installations are backed by industry-leading 25-year warranties, and their focus on clean energy and eco-friendly practices reflects a genuine commitment to both customer savings and environmental sustainability throughout Solano County and beyond.
