California Solar Electric

When Don "Cam" Campbell, owner of California Solar Electric (CSE), studied solar energy conversion processes in college, concepts like sustainable energy, climate change and energy independence weren't a part of everyday conversation. So 25 years ago he began his business providing standard electrical contracting, until 15 years ago when he saw an opening and seized the opportunity to focus on solar in Santa Barbara, Ventura and L.A. Counties. Those 15 years have been critical in establishing a knowledge base, track record, and community ties that now distinguishes CSE from the many solar companies popping up daily.

The simplicity of solar electricity science may surprise you, while the result of it in action will literally light you up. Once you understand how it works and what parts make up a solar panel system, you'll see that it's the quality of the installer and the installation that sets one home's solar results apart from another. So you're thinking about taking the plunge and going solar. Your hope is to reduce your energy bill and help the environment, but you don't really know the details of what it takes to get there.

Solar electricity is an excellent pro-business and pro-community option for commercial operations, government and other institutions. We have an excellent track record providing expert consultation and solutions for many of these entities. Solar power is a balance sheet bonanza. And with the cost of solar panels at an all-time low, businesses of all sizes across the country are investing in solar energy on a massive scale. In fact, over two-thirds of all photovoltaic capacity has been installed since 2011.
