Introducing Our OC Goes Solar Installers

Meet Aikyum Solar

Aikyum Solar specializes in residential solar rooftop solutions. We have been a preferred solar vendor for the OC Goes Solar (Solarize Irvine) program for 5 years now and have installed solar systems for about 300 happy customers that participated in this program.

We are an engineering focused company and all our work is done by experienced installers employed by Aikyum.  With Time-of-Use (TOU) electric rates on the rise and lower export rates from the utility companies, solar panels combined with batteries are a smart decision to keep electric bills minimal. Aikyum Solar prepares a custom solar solution for your home that maximizes energy production, utilizing various types of solar panels and batteries to ensure quality, and efficiency.  Most installs are typically completed in just 8-12 weeks! Aikyum Solar takes care of it all, from obtaining permits and HOA approval to designing and installing your system.

Extensive Selection Criteria

We prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) every year to send to mostly local contractors. A committee of neighbors and subject matter-expert volunteers evaluate submitted proposals and pre-select contractors using a scoring guide that includes company profile, financial stability, hiring practices, years in business, customer reviews, and the capacity to serve our community. 

The contractors provide a free consultation to prepare a proposal specific to your home, goals, and energy needs — including group purchasing discounts. When communities go solar together, they can leverage their purchasing power to save even more.
