Solar That's Built
to Last Decades.
Competent work. Honest timelines. Fair pricing.
The solar installer for people who do their homework.
What We Stand For
Competent
Every system we design is engineered for the specific property it serves. No cookie-cutter installs. No upselling equipment you don't need. We understand the electrical, structural, and financial dimensions of every project — because competence isn't a buzzword, it's the baseline.
Timely
We show up when we say we will. We finish when we say we will. If something changes, you hear about it before it becomes a problem. The bar in this industry is underground — we intend to clear it by a wide margin.
Our guarantee: If we're more than a month late on your installation, we cover your utility bill until we're done.
Fair
Honest pricing. Honest timelines. Honest about what solar can and can't do for your property. If the numbers don't work, we'll tell you. We'd rather lose a sale than earn a reputation we don't deserve.
The Investment Case
Solar Is a Financial Asset,
Not a Purchase.
A properly engineered solar + battery system isn't an expense — it's a capital improvement that generates returns for decades. You own your power production, your batteries provide backup when the grid fails, and you're protected from rising utility rates.
The 30% federal tax credit means a significant portion of the cost comes back to you — and after the investment timeline, the system keeps producing for another 20+ years.

Straight Answers
Addressing Concerns
The solar industry has earned its skeptics. Here's how we address the most common objections — directly.
"It's too expensive."
Solar + battery storage is a capital investment with a measurable return. The 30% federal tax credit brings down your out-of-pocket cost significantly, and the system keeps producing for 25–30 years. We model the exact numbers for your property before you commit to anything. If the return doesn't make sense, we'll tell you.
"Solar companies are untrustworthy."
Many are. That's exactly why Otto exists. We're a local company with a named owner, serving a community we live in. Our reputation is our business model. We don't use high-pressure sales tactics, we don't inflate production estimates, and we don't disappear after installation.
"Panels are unreliable."
Modern solar panels are warrantied for 25 years and are engineered to withstand hail, snow load, and extreme temperature swings. They have no moving parts. The technology is mature, well-tested, and remarkably durable. This isn't experimental — it's established engineering.
"They'll look terrible on my roof."
We take aesthetics seriously. Panel placement is designed with roof lines and visual symmetry in mind — not just maximum wattage. Modern all-black panels sit low-profile and integrate cleanly with most rooflines. We'll show you the proposed layout before anything is installed.
"It's too much maintenance."
Solar panels require almost no maintenance. No moving parts means nothing wears out mechanically. Rain handles most cleaning. We recommend an annual visual check and will walk you through what to look for. That's it.
Who We Work With
Who We Serve
Residential
Homeowners
Your home is your largest asset. A battery-backed solar system increases its value, locks in predictable power costs for decades, and provides backup when the grid goes down. We help homeowners who want to make a smart, long-term financial decision — not chase a trend.
Investment Properties
Landlords
Solar + battery storage is a capital improvement that delivers predictable operating costs, increases property value, and differentiates your rentals. We model returns at the individual property level — because not every building in a portfolio is a candidate, and we'll tell you which ones aren't.
