The Sutro Difference.
We're not a sales organization that happens to sell solar. We are engineers and electricians who believe in building things right.
100% Owner-Partner Operated
When you work with Sutro Power, you're working directly with the owners. From JP and Vargas coordinating the engineering, to the master electricians on your roof, everyone is vested in your success.
Most solar companies use a fragmented model: a high-pressure salesperson sells you a system, passes it to a detached engineering team, and subcontracts the installation to the lowest bidder.
We do everything in-house. This means no miscommunication, no corner-cutting, and absolute accountability.
No Pushy Sales
We educate and consult. If solar doesn't make financial sense for your home, we will tell you.
Aesthetic Focus
We treat your home like our own. We hide conduits in attics and ensure a clean, flush look.
Local Expertise
San Francisco roofs and permits are complex. We know the local codes and GoSolarSF process inside out.
The Architects of
Your Energy.
