I'm Rick Burkhard, and I started this company here in Sonora in 2002 as a way to bring my personal passion for solar and electrical engineering to our wonderful foothill community. Solar technology has evolved a lot since then, as has the desire for increased independence from an uncertain energy future.
Let me help you build more value, resilience and self-reliance into your property! We've proudly installed close to 500 systems in Tuolumne and the surrounding counties; take a look at some of our Recent Projects. Also feel free to see what our customers say about us; we've been here a long time, and will be here long into the future.
Come join us in the sun and start saving money today! 5-6 year pay backs are typical because of low solar panel prices and a 26% Federal tax credit is available through 2022. We talked with several companies at different Home and Garden Shows but Mariza at APS Solar was the most helpful. She had a nice display and answered all our questions in a way that we could understand.

As I young man in the 1990s, I enjoyed living off grid for a time; and as they say, necessity really is the mother of invention. Living without a grid connection forces you to be very creative! So while initially it started out as a hobby, off-grid solar projects became increasingly central to my life.
Homeowners can deduct a full 26% of the total cost of the system-it comes directly off what you owe the Federal government dollar for dollar. With falling solar panel prices and a 26% federal tax credit, there's never been a better time to install solar. Stop paying PG&E and break even on your solar investment in just five to six years!
Rick and his crew did a great job designing, installing; and fine tuning our solar system to suit our needs and our site. We are very happy with how well we were treated by Mona, Rick; and the crew. Rick made sure that all our concerns were thoroughly addressed and taken care of. I would recommend APS Solar to anyone thinking about going solar.

Rick is extremely professional, competent, and easy to work with. When we moved into our house, our neighbor recommended Rick at APS solar. I have worked in utility electricity for a while, and most people don't really understand it that well. But my neighbor now did, and so I knew I had to meet the people who explained it to him. Talking to Rick, he knew the market and technology. The price was very competitive, but the icing on the cake was Rick and his crew were extremely competent. I was amazed at how fast the system went up and we were connected to the grid, and now we watch our meter run

Rick and his crew installed a solar system on my home a bit over 2 years ago. Rick was really thorough about explaining the sizing of the system, helping to explain the different types of inverters and working with my budget. Any questions I've had he's been prompt about answering them. If I thought the system needed servicing, he'd come out right away and check it out for me. I've been more than happy with this company and have recommended them to other people. They are the best!
