Nowhere to put your panels? We build it.
Don't leave your Bright Saver panels sitting on the ground or leaning on a rail. We build a custom redwood pergola to mount them — on their own dedicated circuit, done to code by a licensed C-10. A permanent home for your solar that also gives you shade.

Why Bright Saver refers you to us
The kit is the easy part. We do the rest — right.
Bright Saver's plug-in solar is built to be simple and DIY. But if you want it mounted permanently, on its own dedicated outlet, and monitored — that's real electrical work, and it's exactly what they refer to a licensed installer. That's where we come in.
What we install for your Bright Saver kit
A custom solar pergola
Instead of leaning your panels on a rail, we build a clean, permanent structure to mount them — sized for your space and your Bright Saver kit.
A dedicated outdoor outlet
Your plug-in kit needs a proper, code-compliant outdoor circuit — not an extension cord. We add the dedicated outlet so it runs safe, all day.
Load & energy monitoring
We install monitoring in your electrical panel so you can see your solar working and watch your grid draw drop — real numbers, not guesswork.
Done to code by a C-10
Every connection permitted and inspected where required, by a licensed C-10 electrician. The part Bright Saver trusts to the pros.
What to expect
A full solar pergola is about a 3-day build. Here's how it goes.
Foundation
We lay out the design, excavate, and pour the concrete footings that anchor the pergola posts.
Build
We frame and assemble your custom redwood pergola — the permanent structure your panels mount to.
Solar & metering
We mount your Bright Saver panels, run the dedicated circuit, and set up the energy metering and monitoring.
Already have somewhere to mount your panels and just need the electrical? Wiring the dedicated circuit and metering is quick — usually about 3 hours.
Every install is quoted free — no obligation.
Your price depends on your kit, how many panels, and where they go. Tell us below and a licensed C-10 gives you a clear, upfront number after a free assessment.

Questions, answered straight
Bright Saver says no electrician is needed — so why you?+
Their kit is designed to be DIY, and that's great. We're for the homeowner who wants it done right and permanent: mounted on a real structure (a pergola), on its own dedicated outdoor outlet instead of an extension cord, and monitored so you can see the savings. That part is professional electrical work — and it's exactly what Bright Saver refers to a licensed installer like us.
What is a solar pergola?+
A custom-built outdoor structure — think a pergola or canopy — that holds your solar panels at the right angle and height. It turns a temporary balcony panel into a clean, permanent part of your home that also gives you shade and usable space.
Do you install the Bright Saver kit itself?+
You get the kit from Bright Saver at their member cost. We handle everything around it so it performs and lasts: the mounting structure, the dedicated outlet and circuit, and the monitoring — all to code.
