We install solar. You save money.

Long Beach is one of the largest cities in LA County and the second-largest in the greater Los Angeles area. With a diverse housing stock, strong sunshine, and rising SCE electricity rates, Long Beach homeowners are increasingly turning to solar. Anca Solar brings 25 years of installation experience to Long Beach, handling everything from coastal bungalows to inland ranch homes.

Why Long Beach Is Ideal for Solar

Long Beach averages over 280 sunny days per year with moderate coastal temperatures that keep solar panels operating efficiently. SCE's tiered and time-of-use rates make solar installation particularly valuable for Long Beach homeowners, especially those with higher energy usage from air conditioning, EV charging, or pool equipment. The city's commitment to sustainability through its Climate Action and Adaptation Plan further supports solar adoption.

Long Beach Solar Permitting

Solar permits in Long Beach are processed through the Long Beach Development Services Department. The city has implemented online permitting for standard residential solar installations, which can speed up approval times. Long Beach follows California's AB 2188 streamlined solar permitting requirements. We handle all permit documentation, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling on your behalf.

Coastal vs. Inland Long Beach

Long Beach stretches from the coast to well inland, and solar considerations differ by location. Coastal homes in Belmont Shore, Naples, and Alamitos Beach may experience morning marine layer, but afternoon solar production remains strong. We select corrosion-resistant hardware for installations within a few miles of the ocean. Inland neighborhoods like Bixby Knolls, California Heights, and Lakewood Village get more consistent sun exposure throughout the day.

Common Long Beach Installations

We install solar across all Long Beach neighborhoods, including Belmont Heights, Bluff Park, Belmont Shore, Naples, Signal Hill (adjacent), Bixby Knolls, California Heights, Los Cerritos, Wrigley, and North Long Beach. Long Beach homes range from early 1900s Craftsman bungalows to 1950s ranch homes and modern new construction. We design mounting systems appropriate for each roof type and era of construction.

EV Charging and Solar in Long Beach

Long Beach has one of the highest EV adoption rates in LA County. Adding solar to power your EV charger means driving on free, clean energy. We also serve nearby Torrance, Redondo Beach, and Rancho Palos Verdes. See all LA County solar services. CSLB License #873768.
