Rooftop solar panel installation in Southern California
Serving Corona, Inland Empire, San Bernardino, Orange County, San Diego & Los Angeles
Aztec Electric & Renewables has been providing trusted, code-compliant, and performance-driven rooftop solar panel installation services to Southern California for over three decades. Our foundation, as licensed electrical contractors C-10, is in technical expertise, not outsourced labor or sales-only solar teams.
Our solar rooftop systems are designed to last, produce the maximum amount of energy possible, and meet the various permitting requirements throughout Southern California. From an owner-occupied, single-family residence in Corona to a commercial building in San Diego, our rooftop installations are designed to provide safe, consistent, and financially efficient solar energy.
The phrase carries shades of meaning.
Why Rooftop Solar Makes Sense for Southern California
Southern California has one of the strongest solar climates in the country, affording:
- 280–300+ sunny days per year
High electricity rates across SCE, SDG&E, and LADWP
These include net metering and consumption-based benefits. - Long-term stability of energy bills
It appreciates property values. - Reduced stress during heat waves and peak pricing events
Rooftop solar is one of the most efficient ways to turn your existing home or building into a clean, consistent power-producing asset.
Every rooftop installation is individually designed and engineered according to local weather conditions, roof type, structural condition, and energy demand in this area for higher output, more stable production, and maximum return on investment.
Our Rooftop Solar Installation Expertise
Every property is different. Our engineering-first process includes:
• On-Site Evaluation & Structural Assessment
We check the roof type you have, whether it is tile, asphalt, flat-roof, or metal, its structural integrity, shading, and mounting options.
• Electrical Load Analysis
As master electricians, we study main panel capacity, future usage, and possible upgrades.
• Custom Solar System Design
We design an energy system specifically targeted at your rooftop angles, sunlight exposure, and load offset goals.
• High-Efficiency Panels & Premium Hardware
We install Tier-1 solar panels, corrosion-resistant mounts, and industry-leading microinverters.
• Permits, Engineering Plans & Utility Approvals
Permitting: We handle the complete permitting process with the local building departments and utility companies.
• Professional Installation
Our electricians are in-house and perform clean, safe, and code-compliant installations to city and utility standards.
• Monitoring & Maintenance

Inland Empire Rooftop Solar Panel Installation
The Inland Empire is one of the best regions in California for rooftop solar because of the following:
Following are the high-risk factors:
- Extremely high exposure to sun
Large residential roof structures
Growing commercial and warehouse properties - High-tier rate penalties for summer cooling
Key challenges in the Inland Empire include:
Efficiency problems arise from dust accumulation.
- Extreme heat can reduce panel performance
- Older homes may require panel upgrades
- Fire-prone zones need shutoff-ready compliance
Our IE Rooftop Solar Solutions:
Highly temperature-resistant photovoltaic modules
- Optimal tilt angle settings for high production
Integration of battery storage for PSPS outages
Main service panel upgrades for older properties
Service packages that increase output throughout the year
We provide rooftop systems that are precision-engineered for Riverside, Moreno Valley, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and other IE cities.
Confidence is everything.

In this paper, we propose the double spectrum sparse hypothesis, which supposes that there exists an image having a sparse representation in both the spatial and discrete wavelet transform domains, and is further used for image recovery in compressive sensing. Based on this, we designed the corresponding reconstruction algorithm using the double sparsity model. The following sections describe the details of this reconstruction approach.
