⚠️COVID-19 Update for our Customers
The time is now to invest in a sustainable electricity system. In 2018, we designed and installed a microgrid to effectively power our large office and warehouse (read case study here). This independent energy source utilizes solar panels, an energy storage system, and a natural gas generator to supply clean, renewable energy to our facility. We no longer rely on utility companies for electricity and are therefore not affected by power outages.
At Sandbar, we are committed to “going green” and making our community and the world a better place for generations to come through the use of resilient energy. Are you ready to learn how your home or business can benefit from energy storage systems? Join us today, and power a better future.

Professional ethical and highly recommended. I’m an electrical engineer and I expected detailed answers to all my questions and Sandbar Solar delivered. They are craftsmen in their trade and have my complete trust. I did ask the town inspector (Los Gatos) about them when he came out to inspect the installation, he indicated to me that he never has a problem with the multiple Sandbar Solar installs he has approved.”
Years ago we investigated getting solar panels, but decided to look into it again this year. We had already spoken to a few other companies when we met with August, our Solar Consultant at Sandbar Solar. August was wonderful at giving us honest information and helping us to get what we needed. He helped compare which solar panels were best for our usage. We followed up with our own research and choose the Panasonic panels offered by Sandbar because because of their high efficiency. The communication with the Sandbar team was excellent through the entire process. The installation crew was polite and installed our system in two days! It was less than two weeks from signing our contract, that our system was installed. It is an absolute joy to see our meter go in reverse piling up credits for a lower electrical bills. I would highly recommend working with Sandbar Solar!”
A good friend of mine recommended Sandbar Solar and I can truly say it has been a wonderful experience in the pre-work, installation and subsequent maintenance of the solar panels we installed in our home. It was so seamless and easy from start to end and in particular want to call out August Materazzi who patiently answered each and every question I had through the entire process And it feels great to be able to generate my own electricity and not rely on PG&E ?
“It has been a long time since I have dealt with a company as accommodating, helpful and courteous as Sandbar Santa Cruz. From the sales process to the installation, Sandbars personnel performed flawlessly and with professionalism. I would absolutely recommend Sandbar to any homeowner looking to go green and move forward with solar “
“My company is very pleased with our completed solar project. We reviewed proposals from five different solar vendors and selected Sandbar after months of review. The entire team at Sandbar was very professional. Overall Sandbar was very transparent during the proposal process and they delivered with the install. They recently released a solar offering to all of our employees and have stayed in touch. The system is maintenance free – we are very happy! Scott, Dan and the rest of the Sandbar Team are a great group. I’m going to use them again in the future.”
