Crest Solar LLC has been locally owned and operated since 2004.  We design and install residential and small commercial PV Solar systems for sites on and off the grid. Our systems are designed based on the unique needs of your site, no cookie-cutter systems here!  If solar will not work at your site, we will tell you.

No sales pitch!


Grid-tied systems 

Grid-tied systems are based on the number of kilowatt hours your home uses in one billing year.  You can call the customer service department of your utility provider to get that number.  You can access your usage with your utility online account, or take pictures of your bills with your cell phone and email them to us. We're pretty flexible!

Depending on where shading is on your property and how many panels you need, we install roof mounts or pole mounts.

Off-grid systems

Off-grid system design is a bit more complicated and requires a more in-depth evaluation.  We have designed systems for limited-use hunting camps with a few lights and an outhouse.  We've also designed systems for full-sized homes.  

We at Crest Solar LLC have lived off the grid since 1978.  We installed solar electricity in 2002.  Send us an email so you can receive a power usage/load worksheet, and we can start designing your system today!

Off-grid Tax Credit: 


* 30% Federal income tax credit
