Cobalt Power Systems

Residential Solar Installation in the Bay Area

Company's Description

Cobalt Power Systems, Inc. has been installing complete residential and commercial photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems since 2003 and has grown organically over 20 years of operation. The company was founded by Mark Byington in the garage of his Los Altos home.

We initially focused on residential solar but expanded into the commercial solar market successfully several years ago. We’re proud to offer Maxeon solar panels with a 40-year warranty – only available through a Maxeon Partner! Cobalt was the first SunPower Elite Dealer™ in the nation and was named SunPower Dealer of the Year. Cobalt is also a Tesla Premier Certified Installer. We see the integration of energy storage as the next component of the company’s growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Colbat Power Systems was founded with a belief that it was time to be part of the solution rather than the problem. We set out to be a local solar installation company that you can trust. A company that delivers the absolute best customer experience and operational excellence. It has been a rewarding journey with lots of ups and downs but we are proud of what we’ve built and believe the future is bright.
Our San Francisco Bay Area solar company has been providing affordable and reliable solar power for homes and businesses since 2003. In that time, we have completed more than 3,500 photovoltaic systems, all while maintaining an unwavering dedication to superior customer service.
We sell the highest quality products on the market. That doesn’t always mean most expensive. We’ve found that spending a little more on a higher quality product saves our customers significantly more over the life of the system.
Cobalt Solar Energy provides both Residential and Commercial Solar solutions. From new solar installations to upgrading, fixing or replacing existing solar systems. Cobalt is well versed in the quickly growing battery storage market, EV Charging and VPP (Virtual Power Plant) opportunities in the bay area.
We offer a 10 year workmanship warranty on the installation itself and a host of product warranties that range from 10 years on the batter to 25 years for the solar panels. The warrany space in solar can be confusing and so we help our customer navigate this if and when a warranty issue should arise.
There are a number of ways to go solar. Our experienced Solar Designers will walk homeowners through the options of paying case, leverageing solar financing and potential solar lease options that exist. We don’t believe there is a one size fits all approach to financing solar projects and so our discovery process will determine what makes the most sense for the homeowner.
The actual solar installation is often completed in a single day. This can be hard for some homeowners to understand because the full process of acquiring permits, HOA approvals, and other construction related items leads to an average time frame of 3 months from when agreement is signed to installation.
By far the most common question is around how much it will cost. The easiest way to answer that is by simply saying that it will be close to what you are paying for electricity today but fixed for the life of the system and impervioius to rising electricity rates. It also has the added benefit of providing backup power protection for unplanned outages. Some people will save quite a bit on their utility bills and some will pay more but the average value proposition is to take control of your own electricity generation and own your own power plant.

With 4,000+ installations and 20+ years of experience, we deliver complex energy systems with precision and care.
