New Day Solar
For nearly 30 years, Scott and Mary Carlson have dedicated their lives to helping home
owners make the switch to clean and inexpensive solar electricity. With over 3,500 solar
electric systems under Scott’s contractor license, there are few within the industry that
don’t know the Carlsons. In fact, many of today’s local building inspectors have attended
one of Scott’s PV training courses. Some of the very first solar electric systems in San Diego
and Riverside County were installed by Scott, himself, as were many of the first grid-tied
solar electric systems with SDG&E and Southern California Edison.
New Day Solar allows Scott and Mary to share their passion for the industry and put their
stamp on helping the environment. In addition, it allows their customers to reap the
benefits of their knowledge, dedication, and excellent customer service, that only being
in the industry for nearly 30 years can provide.

We had a great experience with New Day Solar, the owner, Scott is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. They are a no pressure sales company and are family owned and operated; as a matter of fact, I got the contact information from my brother who used them 10 years earlier. He had great experience with them and was very appreciative of their subject knowledge because he had done a lot of research before moving forward.
They were able to provide a fairly accurate initial estimate over the phone using google earth, but they still wanted to visit the house to confirm and to inspect the roof before giving the quote. They took care of all city permits and So Cal Edison filings, they had it all installed in 3 days with no issues. The installation crew was also very knowledgeable and were happy to share with you what they were doing, they even invited me onto the roof to see how they were mounting everything. I did receive 3 quotes all for full purchase systems and they were also the lowest, I would have used them even if they weren't the lowest. The only hiccup we had was the sign on the electrical breaker panel had a small error on it, but our building inspector wouldn't let them pass. They brought out a new sign 2-3 days later, had the building inspector scheduled and sign off; received notice from So Cal Edison about 2 weeks later that I now had authorization to turn on the solar system. We've had zero issues so far from installation, we've had several strong wind storms and heavy rain storms with no leaks or loose panels.
