We install solar the way an engineer would spec it.
Twelve years in, still owner-operated, still doing site walks ourselves. Solara Works designs and installs premium PV, storage, and EV charging across California, Colorado, Oregon, and Wyoming.
How we work
Engineered, not sold
Every quote starts with a site walk and a real production model — never a copy-paste sales sheet.
In-house crews
We don't subcontract installs. The people who quote you are the people who show up.
Any brand, any age
Our service department fixes systems we didn't install. Half our maintenance revenue is orphaned systems.
Warranty we honor
25-year workmanship warranty. In-house means the phone gets answered.
Twelve years, one owner
Founded in Sacramento
Ines Marchetti leaves a Bay Area installer to start Solara Works with one crew and a used Sprinter van.
First commercial project
88kW winery install in Paso Robles — still one of our reference sites.
In-house design team
Elena Vardanyan joins as Design Director. We stop outsourcing production modeling.
1,000th install
We hit our first thousand systems installed across three states.
Storage-first design
Every residential quote now assumes battery-ready hybrid inverters by default.
2,840 systems, 42.6 MW
34 people, four crews, and a service department that handles any brand.
