Three companies gave us monthly payments. Daylight gave us a one-page sheet with the actual system price, the loan terms, and the payback math — before anyone came to the house. That's why they got the job.
Solar and Roof Replacement Together — One Crew, One Permit Cycle, One Warranty Conversation
Panels last 25+ years. If the roof under them has ten years left, you're scheduling an expensive de-and-re — removing and reinstalling the entire array — halfway through the system's life. Doing roof and solar together costs less than doing them apart, keeps one crew accountable for both layers, and means the penetrations are flashed by the same people who warranty the roof. It's the least glamorous, most financially sane pairing in this business.

Solar + New Roof in the Inland Empire
Panels last 25+ years. If the roof under them has ten years left, you're scheduling an expensive de-and-re — removing and reinstalling the entire array — halfway through the system's life. Doing roof and solar together costs less than doing them apart, keeps one crew accountable for both layers, and means the penetrations are flashed by the same people who warranty the roof. It's the least glamorous, most financially sane pairing in this business.
One Accountability Chain
When the roofer and the solar installer are the same accountable party, 'the leak is the other guy's fault' stops being possible. That sentence alone has paid for a lot of our customers' decisions.
The De-and-Re Math, Up Front
We'll show you what a mid-life panel removal and reinstall runs versus re-roofing now. If your roof genuinely has 15+ years left, we'll tell you to keep it — that's most roofs we look at.
Composition, Tile & Flat
IE housing stock runs from 1950s ranch homes to brand-new stucco-and-tile. We design mounting and flashing to the actual roof type, not a catalog default.
Financed Together
One combined project, one payment, instead of a roof loan stacked on a solar loan with two interest clocks running.
Simple, Transparent Process

Why homeowners choose Daylight
Consistently praised for written prices that don’t move, designs that match the utility actually billing the home, and clean, on-schedule installs — with straight answers even when the answer is “don’t buy solar yet.”

Our SCE bill was hitting $480 in July. The battery design covers our whole 4–9pm window now and the install crew was clean, on schedule, and walked me through the monitoring app before they left.

Honest company. They told my mother solar did NOT make sense on her small bill and fixed her orphaned system's inverter instead. Who does that? These guys.

We're in Riverside city on RPU and they actually knew what that meant — designed solar-only, no battery upsell, because our export credits are different. Every other quote tried to sell us storage we didn't need.

Panels plus a new roof in one project in Menifee. One crew, one warranty conversation, no finger-pointing. The paperwork was large print and plain English, exactly like they promise.

EV charger and panel upgrade quoted up front with the solar — no surprise change orders halfway through. System's been producing right at the modeled numbers all summer.
Solar + New Roof — Common Questions
Age is the first signal — a composition shingle roof past year 15 in Inland Empire sun deserves a hard look. We inspect and give you a written verdict either way. Most roofs pass; when one doesn't, you'll get the reasoning and photos, not pressure.
When we do both, yes — one warranty conversation covers the roof and every penetration through it. That's the point of pairing them. If you use separate companies, get the flashing responsibility in writing from each.
Yes — tile is everywhere in the IE and we mount on it constantly. It takes tile-specific hooks and flashing done carefully; broken-and-hidden tiles are the classic shortcut of a rushed crew, which is why we photograph the work.
