Solar for your home
Makhara designs and installs home solar, and checks the roof under it first, all under one contract.
California contractor license #0000000 How to check it
The short answer
Makhara plans your solar system, handles the permits, installs it and gets your utility’s permission to switch it on.
The roof is checked first, and fixed first if it needs it.
- Where we work
- Service area to come.
- How long
- Typical timeline to come. Most of it is permits and utility approval.
- First visit
- No charge.
What is included
From a bare roof to a system that is approved and running.
- A system designed for your roof and sized to the power your household uses
- A written price before any work starts
- Every permit and the application to your utility, filed by us
- Roof repairs or a new roof first, if the roof needs it
- Panels, wiring and electrical equipment, installed and tested
- A walkthrough of your system, and a clean site when we leave
The roof comes first
Panels are made to sit on a roof for decades. The roof under them should have that many years left in it. Taking panels off later to repair or replace a roof costs money and time you should not have to spend.
So every solar job starts with the roof. If it is sound, we say so and move on. If it needs work, we do that first, under the same contract, so one company answers for both jobs.

We visit
We look at the roof, the electrical panel and where the sun falls. You tell us how your household uses power.
You get a design and a price
A layout of the panels on your roof and one written price. There is no charge for this. Nothing to sign yet.
We handle permits and the utility
We file with your city or county and apply to your utility. This is the longest wait, and we tell you where it stands.
Roof work, if needed
Repairs or a new roof go on before any panel does.
Installation
Panels and wiring go in. We protect the yard and clean up at the end of each day.
Inspection and switch-on
Your city or county inspects, your utility gives permission to switch on, and we show you how to read your system.
What decides the price
You get one written price after we visit your home. These are the things that move it.
- System size. How much power your household uses.
- Your roof. Its material, how steep it is, and whether it needs work first.
- Your electrical panel. Some older panels need an upgrade.
- A battery, if you add one.
- Permit and utility fees where you live.
Makhara does not try to be the lowest bid. Our price covers the whole job: permits, inspection and cleanup included. A bid that leaves those out is not a lower price.

Common questions
Not listed? Call (000) 000-0000
It depends on three things: the roof’s condition, which way it faces and how much shade it gets. We check all three on the first visit and tell you plainly what we found.
Only if the roof is near the end of its life or already has problems. If it has many good years left, we install on it as it is.
Typical timeline to come. The installation is the short part. Permits and utility approval take the most time, and that depends on your city and your utility.
We do. You sign the forms. We file them, schedule the inspection and follow up until you have permission to switch on.
That depends on your roof, how you use power and your utility’s rates. Before you sign, you get a written estimate of how much power the system should make. We do not promise savings we cannot back up.
Ask us. A battery stores power for the evening or an outage, and whether one makes sense depends on your home.
Make sure each quote is for the same system size and the same equipment. Then check what is in the price: permits, the utility application, any roof work, cleanup. Two quotes with similar totals can be for very different jobs.
Call us first. The roof check and the installation sit under one contract, so there is one company to deal with. Written warranty terms to come.
