A business based on doing the right thing.

It all started after the oil embargo of 1973. Local Cal Poly Engineering grad and Solarponics founder Michael Emrich,  saw an opportunity to improve our energy use and habits by finding ways to harness and distribute energy locally. Thus Solarponics began installing some of the first solar energy systems on the central coast, and some of those are still in operation today.

Since then, Solarponics has designed and installed over 5,200 systems including solar water heating, solar electric, solar pool heating, radiant heating, battery storage, and LED lighting for residential and commercial projects. Solarponics is: ranked Top Solar Contractor in California five years running, Atascadero Business of the Year 2014, Guild Quality Certified, San Luis Obispo Green Company of the Year, Pacific Coast Business Times Tri-County Area Family Business of the Year 2015, Home Advisor Elite Service Provider, and an Angie’s List Super Service Award contractor.
