Vincent Curcie founded OC Solar in 2016 with a straightforward mission: build the kind of solar installer homeowners in Orange County deserved—licensed, accountable, and still answering the phone years after installation. Vince began his career at a prominent local solar firm, but he envisioned something different: a company where the client relationship and service experience came first, not aggressive sales tactics. Operating from their Irvine headquarters, OC Solar has grown into one of Southern California’s most recognized solar installation companies, completing over 6,300 projects and service calls across Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and San Diego counties. The company has installed more than 30 megawatts of solar panels and battery storage systems for California homeowners, with crews completing over 100 installations per month. OC Solar specializes in residential solar panel installation, battery storage systems including Tesla Powerwall 3 and Enphase IQ Battery, Tesla Solar Roof, EV charging, and roofing services. As one of only 12 companies nationwide on Tesla’s Pro Council and a Tesla Powerwall and Solar Roof Premier Certified Installer, they’ve earned industry recognition that reflects their commitment to quality workmanship. The company has been named Panasonic’s Residential Installer of the Year for Southern California three consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024), ranked among Solar Power World’s Top 203 solar contractors nationally in 2025, and holds ConsumerAffairs’ #1 solar company ranking in California for 2026. With a 4.9-star Google rating across more than 400 reviews and an A+ BBB rating held since 2017, OC Solar has built its reputation on transparency and follow-through. Founder Vinnie Curcie was honored with the Orange County Business Journal’s Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award in 2026 and named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Pacific Southwest finalist in 2025. The company maintains an in-house team of full-time installers rather than subcontracting work, and they manage every phase of home solar projects—from design and engineering through permitting, installation, inspection, and long-term support. As the Official Solar Partner of the Anaheim Ducks, OC Solar has deep roots in the Orange County community they serve.
