Torrance – Solar Installation on a Flat Roof

Location: Torrance, CA

Year: 2023

System: 5.1 kW Solar System on Flat Roof (Spanish-Style Front Elevation)

Homeowner Story:

A mature couple in Torrance wanted to take control of their rising electric costs and make their home fully independent. Their bills had climbed to the point where it no longer made sense to keep paying the utility company each month. They were looking for a reliable, long-term investment that would both lower costs and increase property value. They also cared about supporting American manufacturing, so U.S.-made panels were a must.

UV Roofing Solution:

We designed and installed a premium 5.1 kW solar system using high-efficiency U.S.made panels, mounted on their flat roof for maximum performance and clean integration with their Spanish-style front elevation. Our team protected the roof structure throughout installation, ensuring durability and a seamless aesthetic.

Result

The new system now offsets 100 % of their energy use — they no longer pay anything to the utility company. The homeowners are thrilled to have locked in their energy costs for decades ahead while adding real value and independence to their home.
