SolarTech started in 2001 by Jason Stringham, whose drive and determination pushed him to work on solar pool heating projects out of his truck, expanding and growing his business quickly throughout the San Diego area. Jason was able to create a unified team aligning with Jeffrey Garrison, and together Jason, JT and the SolarTech team created one of the most competitive solar companies on the west coast. What began as a two-person startup has grown into a dedicated team of over 200 in-house employees, serving California homeowners who want reliable solar energy without the typical industry run-around. Headquartered in El Cajon in East County San Diego, SolarTech installs and services systems in San Diego County, Orange County, Riverside County, and locations throughout California & Arizona. The company’s mission is straightforward: to change lives by making clean, affordable, and sustainable energy accessible through innovative solar solutions. Over more than two decades, SolarTech has celebrated surpassing 15,000 successful solar installations, and has executed over 13,000 renewable energy projects, surpassing 75,000 kW installed—deploying 8,592 kW in 2023 alone, enough to power approximately 1,600 average American homes for an entire year. SolarTech takes a different approach to solar installation in California. They never outsource their jobs, and their solar analysts, technicians, and installers are certified professionals. This matters when you’re trusting someone with your roof and your family’s electricity. The company’s in-house team handles everything from initial consultation through installation to long-term service and maintenance, which means California homeowners work with the same team throughout their solar journey. Their services include solar energy systems, energy storage systems, solar pool heating systems, and roofing—a comprehensive suite designed for Southern California’s unique climate and energy needs. SolarTech was named as one of the Top Solar Contractors in the United States by Solar Power World in 2024, a prestigious recognition that highlights SolarTech’s commitment to delivering high-performance solar solutions. The company also received the SunPower “Residential Regional Dealer of the Year” award in 2018 for its outstanding performance as a SunPower Dealer. SolarTech has become a certified installer for top brands like Tesla Powerwall, NeoVolta, REC, QCells, Enphase, and Maxeon. As a BBB Accredited business since October 2011 and a licensed California & Arizona contractor, SolarTech has built a reputation on doing the work right, ensuring job site safety, and delivering projects on schedule. What separates SolarTech in the crowded California solar market is their focus on actual performance, not just promises.
