Reduce your dependence on power grids

Power grids can be unreliable in times when you need them most. With a LightWave Solar + storage system, you’ll have reliable power during severe weather or blackouts. When the power grid goes down, your system will kick in immediately, with barely a flicker to the lights! That’s what we like to call peace of mind.

An earth-friendly way to power your life

Solar power can reduce your consumption of conventional energy sources. By using solar energy to help power your home, you’ll reduce air pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and greenhouse gases. If you want to do your part and use cleaner energy, then a LightWave Solar system may be the right choice for you.

Save money, build value

Using the power company for electricity can get expensive. If you pay a $150 bill each month, you’ll be paying at least $36,000 over the next 20 years! With solar, you own your power instead of renting it from the utility company. Not only will a custom solar power system lower your electric bill but it's also a great investment in your home's value.

A solar partner who will be there for you

From contract to design to life post-install, LightWave will be there for you. If something goes wrong or if you just need a little help navigating your system, LightWave’s team of NABCEP-certified sales consultants, engineers, designers, and customer experience managers are available every step of the way.

The Cost of a Solar Powered System

LightWave builds custom systems with your unique home in mind. Different variables affect the cost of solar power, such as number of panels, number of batteries, whether you have roof-mounted panels or ground-mounted panels, and many others.

The smallest sized solar-powered system that we will design and install for you is a 5kW solar-only system. You can learn more about this system, including cost and requirements, on our Solar Starter Package page.


Types of Residential Solar

We custom design and build everything from roof-mounts and ground-mounts to solar canopies and carports. As a member of the Amicus Solar Cooperative, we get the most competitive rates on solar modules and inverters. We are also brand-agnostic, meaning we are happy to install any tier 1 solar module you desire, such as Silfab, QCell, REC, Solaria, and Mission. We typically install Solaredge and Enphase inverters.

How to Get Started

This consultation process is entirely free. Our team offers our time, design, and a detailed estimate to meet your energy needs and to see if solar & storage is right for you.

  1. Book a consultation through our website by scheduling the best day & time for our team to reach out to you. 
  2. Our team will ask you the 3 most valuable questions we ask everyone: How much energy do you need? How much space do you have available? and What is your budget? Solar is not a one size fits all, so by asking these questions will ensure if solar is right for you. 
  3. If solar still feels right for you, our team will schedule a time to come out to your property to survey your space. They will capture drone images and develop a 3D model of your space with proper measurement for our design team to draw up a detailed and custom solar design. 
  4. Once a custom design is created and agreed upon by you and your project consultant, our team develops a detailed contract for your project and delivers it to you for your review. 
  5. Upon contract signing, your solar journey officially begins!

Being a full turn-key solar provider, we promise the moment you sign a contract with us that we will be here for you during and even after installation.
