We'll walk you through available incentives including the 30% federal solar tax credit and California-specific rebates to maximize your savings.

From system design and panel installation to battery storage and ongoing maintenance — we are your single point of contact for everything solar.
Are High Utility Bills Draining Your Budget?
Santa Barbara homeowners face some of the highest electricity rates in California. Solar is the smartest long-term investment you can make in your home.
Electricity bills keep climbing
SCE and PG&E rates have increased dramatically. Solar locks in predictable, lower energy costs for 25+ years.
Worried about power outages?
Add a Tesla Powerwall or other battery backup to keep your home running during PSPS events and grid outages.
Want to reduce your carbon footprint?
Solar energy eliminates thousands of pounds of CO₂ annually while delivering real financial returns on day one.
Want to increase home value?
Studies show solar homes sell for 4–6% more than comparable non-solar homes — a strong return on your investment.

What Our Santa Barbara Customers Say
"Last year we decided to add solar panels and a Tesla battery backup to our home. The Wicks Santa Barbara team was responsive and got everything done in a timely manner. We have used them in the past for skylight and roof repairs and have been pleased with their work."
"Wicks Solar just completed my residential solar and home battery system and we are absolutely thrilled by their skill, craft and customer service."
"I researched several solar companies in Santa Barbara and finally decided on Wicks. I am so glad I did. They were very professional and thoughtful throughout the process. Jared and Tono and the whole crew could not have been better to work with. They redid my roof, added solar and replaced my electric meter — a big job. I highly recommend them."
