We’re creating new jobs every year and stimulating the local economy. With more than 60 full-time employees, we provide top-notch service at an outstanding value.

Go Solar for Residential or Commercial
With customer satisfaction as our primary goal, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners and businesses go solar. Each installation is a customized solution designed for a particular customer. And we don’t shy away from the difficult jobs that others won’t try.
For homeowners, we deliver an efficient, cost-effective process that causes little interference to your family life. We first make sure your situation is right for solar, and help you find the best financing options. For commercial, nonprofit, and government properties, we have an unrivaled reputation for installing the largest, most advanced systems in the Santa Cruz area, including NHS Skateboard, Plantronics, the Wrigley building, Santa Cruz High, and more.
Enjoy a Smooth Process from Start to Finish
The first time you speak with the friendly, knowledgeable Sandbar staff, you will notice the difference. No hard sell, no confusing language. Since we know solar options inside and out, we won’t force one type of system or one set of materials on you. We explain choices — including financing options — and provide an easy-to-understand proposal.
A project manager will explain exactly what we will do and when we will do it. We make every effort to lessen the impact on your home or business. Our efficient team can often get in and out in days. And once the system is installed, we show you how to monitor your solar savings — and we provide ongoing maintenance and support.
Local Community Events Powered by the Sun
At Sandbar Solar & Electric, we’re active sponsors and participants in community activities and causes throughout Santa Cruz County and beyond. The Sandbar Solar Trailer powers local festivals, concerts, races, street fairs, sports tournaments, beach clean-ups, and more. And we make donations — time and resources — to local charities, schools, and sports teams, and we installed a free solar system for the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum’s lighthouse.
