Integrated roof, solar, and battery systems for modern Los Angeles homes

Monterey Park – Solar Installation & Cool Roof

Location: Monterey Park, CA

Year: 2024

System: Owens Corning COOL Roof, 8.075 kW Maxeon Solar System

Homeowner Story:

This was the second property owned by the same older couple who were upgrading their rental portfolio to be more energy-efficient and financially predictable. Each home had different needs, and this one consistently generated higher utility bills for their tenants. As Edison rates continued to rise, the couple wanted to eliminate that expense entirely and protect the long-term ROI of the property.

Their goal was to lock in their energy costs, improve comfort inside the home, and create a more modern, efficient rental without increasing rent or affecting tenant quality of life.

UV Roofing Solution:

We installed a complete Owens Corning COOL Roof system to increase efficiency, reduce heat absorption, and bring the property up to modern standards. With the roof upgraded, we added a high-performance 6.3 kW Maxeon solar system designed to offset the property's full electrical usage and eliminate dependency on Edison.

The combination of a COOL Roof and Maxeon panels ensures long-term durability, stronger energy production, and minimal maintenance — perfect for a rental property where reliability is essential.

Result

The property now generates its own clean energy every day. The homeowners no longer pay a utility bill to Edison, and their tenants enjoy full electricity usage with lower interior heat during summer months.

What was once a home with unpredictable energy costs is now a stable, efficient, and future-ready rental offering stronger ROI and long-term value.
