Monterey Park, 2 – Solar Installation & Cool Roof
Location: Monterey Park, CA
Year: 2024
System: Owens Corning COOL Roof, 8.075 kW Maxeon Solar System
Homeowner Story:
This Monterey Park home belongs to an older couple who own several rental properties in the area. For years they watched Edison rates rise with no control over the bill, even though they personally didn’t live in the home. The monthly expenses kept climbing, tenants used more electricity, and the couple wanted a way to stabilize costs and improve long-term returns on the property.
Their goal was simple but important: remove the unpredictable utility bill, lock in their energy cost for decades, and increase the ROI of the rental without raising rent or reducing comfort for their tenants.
UV Roofing Solution:
We replaced the aging roof with a new Owens Corning COOL Roof to improve efficiency and bring the property up to a modern standard. From there, we installed a high-performance 8.075 kW Maxeon solar system sized to fully offset the home’s usage and eliminate dependence on Edison.
By combining a COOL Roof with Maxeon’s premium panels, the property now produces clean energy year-round with minimal degradation, long-term reliability, and a significantly cooler interior during summer months. The entire upgrade was designed as a long-term investment that increases cash flow and property value.
Result
The homeowners no longer pay a utility bill to Edison. Their tenants enjoy consistent, worry-free electricity usage, and the property now produces its own power every day. What used to be an unpredictable monthly cost became a stable, high-efficiency, income-optimized rental.
This project turned a standard rental into a future-ready asset with stronger ROI, lower operating costs, and long-term independence from rising utility rates.

Roof, solar, or full backup power, we guide you through every step personally so your home feels protected and powered the right way.
Yes. Many homeowners choose to upgrade the roof and install solar together because it prevents extra penetrations, avoids future leaks, and creates a clean, integrated system built to last. We install the solar racking while the roof is open for proper waterproofing and long-term performance.
We install Maxeon solar panels, Enphase IQ8 microinverters, Tesla Powerwall 3, and Franklin A Power 2. These systems deliver strong performance, high efficiency, and reliable backup power during outages.
Yes. A battery can power essential circuits such as lighting, WiFi, refrigeration, home office equipment, and medical devices. Full home backup is also available. We design the system based on your comfort needs and lifestyle.
Savings depend on shading, roof orientation, and energy use. Many homeowners see meaningful reductions and long-term protection against rising utility rates, especially with Maxeon and Enphase systems.
Roof replacement and solar installation each take only a few days. The full timeline depends on your city and utility approvals. We work with LADWP, Edison, PG&E, Pasadena Water and Power, Glendale Water and Power, and Burbank Water and Power. We handle all paperwork and keep you updated throughout the process.
