No subcontractors, just HomeLink trusted team members
HomeLink Solar was founded by former executives at large national solar providers who found that only a locally managed solar company can treat your home the way it should be. A San Francisco based company can’t possibly give you, and your home, the personal attention our local ownership will.
At HomeLink, we take pride in being a local, family-owned, and managed business that prioritizes quality, reliability, and stability. Unlike most solar companies that outsource critical work to subcontractors, we keep everything in-house—from design and planning to installation—ensuring a seamless experience, superior craftsmanship, and full accountability at every step.
Invest in lasting value and reliable power with HomeLink Solar. We install top-tier, American-made solar panels, inverters, racking, and battery storage, ensuring exceptional quality and performance for your home.
