Honest guidance on Solar, Battery Backup, Roofing, and Wildfire Defense.
Licensed by the State of California • CSLB HIS #147600
What we help with
New, add-on, or no-export solar and battery system designed around your home, your bill, and your needs. Bundle ready with roof work, EV charger, sub panel, and/or main panel upgrade. With current 2026 incentives we are seeing 4–6 year payback periods or instant 30–50% bill drop with $0-Down options.
Instant whole-home blackout protection keeping your family safe and comfortable when the grid goes down. Battery arbitrage for battery-only purchase or existing NEM 1 or NEM 2 solar owners who want to take advantage of rate structures and further eliminate their True Up bill.
Authorized Ember Pro USA exterior protection — engineered to defend your home from the ember storms that cause most wildfire losses.
A solid roof is the foundation of everything else. Trusted, fully licensed roof replacements — bundle-ready with solar & battery.
Why four services?
You can hire Sean for any single service — but solar, batteries, roofing, and wildfire defense are deeply connected. Here's how they reinforce each other:
Many homes need a new roof — or specific tile-appropriate prep — before solar can be installed properly. Bundling avoids reworks and unlocks $0 Down options and the 30% federal tax credit on qualifying costs.
Since California's 2023 utility changes (NEM 3.0), batteries are what protect new solar owners from rising rates — dramatically boosting savings and ROI.
Wildfires usually mean blackouts. A battery keeps your wildfire defense system powered when you need it most, while solar continually refills the battery so the rest of your home stays running too.
One advisor, one plan. Sean helps you sequence these decisions so every dollar reinforces the next — lower bills, real backup power, and a home built to handle whatever SoCal sends its way.
Meet Sean
I started Solar With Sean because the homeowners I met deserved better than high-pressure pitches and one-size-fits-all proposals. Every roof is different. Every family is different. My job is to listen, explain the tradeoffs honestly, and help you make a decision your future self will thank you for.
