Solar Mike - Santa Cruz CA
Solar Mike
Solar
Solar Mike is the consulting and project business of longtime Santa Cruz solar professional Mike Arenson. His career in solar energy began in the 1970s and has included solar education, system design, industry consulting, off-grid power, grid-connected photovoltaic systems, and work with numerous solar companies and community organizations. The business currently emphasizes selected projects rather than high-volume residential installation, including custom off-grid systems, grid-tied photovoltaic upgrades, and solar-industry consulting. This makes Solar Mike most relevant for customers with unusual system requirements, legacy equipment, off-grid design questions, or a need for experienced technical guidance rather than a standardized sales process. Prospective customers should first confirm that the project type is within the current scope of work and ask whether installation will be performed directly or coordinated with other licensed contractors. For system design or upgrades, customers should request clear specifications for panels, inverters, batteries, charge controllers, generation estimates, storage capacity, monitoring, electrical protection, and permitting requirements. Off-grid customers should provide detailed load information and discuss seasonal energy availability, generator backup, and battery reserve. Because the business operates selectively, customers should also confirm current scheduling, geographic service area, consultation fees, and responsibility for equipment procurement, field installation, inspection, and ongoing service.
