Most homeowners juggle multiple contractors to go solar — and pay for the gaps between them. Paxton Energy is licensed for the solar, battery, and electrical in-house, and we coordinate any roof work through our licensed roofing partners — so it’s one job with one point of accountability.
What we do
Hire us for solar and battery, electrical, or both. And if your roof needs work first, we coordinate it with our licensed roofing partners so the whole project runs as one.
Systems designed around your actual usage — not a generic per-square-foot estimate. And if your roof needs work first, we’ve got that covered too.
A licensed C-10 electrical contractor in its own right — hire us for a panel upgrade, an EV charger, or a rewire with no solar attached.
Why homeowners pick us
At Paxton Energy, we lead with customer experience — not customer service. The difference is the point: serving you is the bare minimum, but the experience is what we're truly committed to. No inflated promises, no vanishing act after the project. Just clear expectations, ethical guidance, and a partner who's there long after the sale.
Start with a free assessmentIf something needs fixing, you call us. There's no second company to loop in and no argument about whose scope it was.
We flag upfront if the roof should be replaced first and bring in our licensed roofing partners to handle it — so you're not paying to remove and reset panels in six years.
Panel capacity gets checked during the assessment, not discovered on install day as a surprise line item.

Our process
Four steps from first call to a system that's producing. You'll know the number before anyone asks you to sign anything.
We review your last 12 months of bills, check shading and roof faces, and look at your panel capacity. If solar isn't a fit, we say so.
A system sized to your real usage, with production estimates, financing options, and any electrical work priced in — plus a quote from our licensed roofing partners if the roof needs to come first.
We pull the permits and coordinate the city. Most residential installs are on and off your roof in one to three days.
Final inspection, utility interconnection, and permission to operate. Then we walk you through your monitoring app.
Reviews
ElectricalPaxton energy ended up being basically a concierge energy company. They covered ALL bases! … He had a loan company lined up as well as electricians for the main panel and installers for the solar.
SolarTheir team was professional, knowledgeable, and transparent throughout the entire solar installation process. They took the time to explain my options, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood the benefits and expected savings.
ElectricalPaxton Energy was super helpful, I just bought this house and found out the previous owner left me with mistakes on the electric panel. They were able to bring my panel up to city code and install the EV charger I asked for. Super grateful they were able to help with both.
Questions
The things people ask on the first call.
Sometimes. Panels last 25+ years, so if your roof has fewer than about 10 years left, it’s usually best to replace it first rather than pay to remove and reset panels later. We assess the roof during the free consultation and tell you either way — including when the answer is "your roof is fine, don’t spend the money." If it does need replacing, we coordinate that with our licensed roofing partners so the whole project still runs as one job.
It means financing covers the system cost, so you're not writing a check upfront. You make a monthly payment instead of (or alongside) a smaller utility bill. Whether that nets out in your favor depends on your rate and system size — we'll show you both numbers side by side before you commit to anything.
Often, yes — especially on older LA homes with 100-amp service, and almost always if you're adding a battery or EV charger. Because we're licensed for electrical, we check capacity during the assessment and price the upgrade in the same proposal rather than discovering it on install day.
The install itself is typically one to three days for a residential system. The full timeline — permits, city inspection, and utility permission to operate — usually runs several weeks to a few months depending on your jurisdiction and utility. We handle that paperwork and keep you posted.
Absolutely. Plenty of our customers come to us for a panel upgrade or an EV charger and never install solar. There’s no bundle requirement and no obligation to hear a solar pitch.
Yes — California Contractors State License Board #1124277, and we carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Ask for the certificate of insurance at any point in the process and we'll send it over the same day.
