Solar Max Technology3080 12th Street , Riverside, California, United States

Since its inception in 2008, SolarMax Technology has emerged as an industry leader, pioneering a succession of innovations to make solar energy more accessible and affordable for California homes and businesses.  Our top-rated solar panels are designed and assembled in our 165,000 square foot facility in Riverside, California—the same base of operations from which we’ve planned and executed more than 10,000 custom installations.  One thing you should know about SolarMax is that we are committed to pushing the industry forward, consistently seeking innovations to help to make sure that clean, renewable energy is accessible to everyone.  In particular, we’re exceptionally proud of our many industry firsts including:

• 2011: SolarMax becomes the first renewable energy company to offer in-house financing for residential solar customers—and we are still the only company that does.
• 2016: SolarMax is now the first California solar installer to design, engineer and assemble our own premium brand of solar panels in our Riverside, CA corporate headquarters.
• 2016: Our proprietary FLEX Energy Storage System is launched—the industry’s first fully-integrated energy storage solution approved by LADWP.
• 2017/2018: SolarMax SMX Panels became one of only four US solar panel companies in the world to earn top-tier ranking in terms of reliability.

In addition, founders David Hsu and Ching Liu were awarded the prestigious “Spirit of the Entrepreneur” award in 2015. An article in Business Wire credited our innovative approach to financing as a key factor in our being recognized with this award:  “Their major breakthrough came in 2010, when SolarMax Technology rolled out its own in-house financing program and established a direct lender relationship with its customer base. The program proved to be a game changer, enabling homeowners to go solar without the burden of a large upfront purchase.”

California Solar Panel Consultation

Solar energy can be a game changer, improving every aspect of the way you consume and pay for electricity in California. Unless you’ve made a special effort to keep up with the many recent advancements in the industry, deciding whether or not solar would be a wise option for your family and your home can be difficult. Luckily, it’s a process you don’t have to undertake alone. When you reach out to SolarMax Technology, the first thing we do is to schedule a solar panel consultation at your convenience, during which you can get all the answers you need to make an informed decision.

Experienced Solar Panel Consultants

During your solar panel consultation, one of our knowledgeable solar experts can educate you on our processes, solar panel benefits, maintenance requirements, and more. It is our goal to make sure that you have all of the information you need to decide whether to proceed with a solar panel installation for your home or business. The consultation consists of three main components:

• Property Analysis: We come to your home to assess the placement and position of your property and structures, the amount of shade received, and other factors that could impact the effectiveness of your solar panels.
• Energy Consumption Audit: Our solar panel consultants review your past energy bills in great detail to accurately calculate your energy consumption.
• Solar Saving Analysis: All of the information is incorporated into a proven formula that provides an accurate estimate of how much you could save.

California Commercial Solar Energy

Since 2008, SolarMax Technology has emerged as an industry leader for California commercial solar energy solutions. From systems for small businesses to custom industrial solutions that can deliver nearly 600 kW, our knowledge and expertise when it comes to commercial solar applications is unparalleled.  Whether your solar needs are simple or complex, our in-house team of consultants, designers, engineers, and installers will design a cost-effective solution that perfectly meets the needs of your business. SolarMax has completed more than 10,000 installations, and we’ve helped thousands of commercial customers enjoy the savings and convenience of a reliable solar energy system.

Benefits of Commercial Solar Energy

• Protection against rising electricity prices
• Maximum return from a low-risk investment
• Eligibility for federal tax incentives
• Savings that start on day one, thanks to flexible financing options
• Reduction of your business’s carbon footprint

California Residential Solar Energy Storage

The decision to convert to residential solar energy is a smart one. This investment will save most homeowners thousands of dollars over the life of the solar panels, hedge against rising energy costs, and—with the addition of energy storage—protect you during a blackout or grid failure.  Power companies prohibit solar panels from continuing to feed power into the grid during a blackout, but a backup battery can allow your system to continue to operate. SolarMax Technology offers three options for residential energy storage, and a solar specialist can explain the benefits of each and help you choose the one that makes the most sense for your California home.
