Integrated roof, solar, and battery systems for modern Los Angeles homes
Integrated roof, solar, and battery systems for modern Los Angeles homes
Pasadena – Solar Installation & ADU Cool Roof (Phase 1)
Location: Pasadena, CA
Year: 2024
System:
7.25 kW Maxeon Solar System (main house) + 4.9 kW Maxeon Solar System (ADU)
New Roof Installed on ADU + Stage 2 Re-Roof on Main Home
Homeowner Story:
This family runs a home daycare, which means their energy use is high every single day — air conditioning, lights, appliances, and constant activity. Their electric bills kept climbing, and they needed a long-term solution they could depend on. At the same time, their ADU needed a new roof, and the main house roof was scheduled for Stage 2 replacement. They wanted a system that would reduce monthly expenses, support their daycare workload, and make the entire property more efficient.
UV Roofing Solution:
We designed two Maxeon high-efficiency systems: a 7.25 kW array for the main home and a 4.9 kW system for the newly built ADU. The ADU received a clean, modern roof as part of the construction, and the main home is moving into its Stage 2 reroof phase. The solar arrays were sized intentionally to eliminate their electric bill and stabilize monthly costs, giving the homeowners more predictability while running a busy daycare operation.
Result
Their solar production now offsets nearly all of their energy usage — effectively eliminating the electric bill and turning a major monthly expense into long-term savings. With the ADU roof completed and the main home reroof underway, the property is becoming more efficient, comfortable, and financially stable. This project shows how the right solar and roofing plan can support a family’s home and business at the same time, while building real value for years ahead.

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.
