About Us

C. H. Pope in his book – Solar Heat – In 1903 stated:

“SUN POWER is a pure gain to humanity. It subtracts nothing; the world will not be in the least impoverished tomorrow by the fullest use of visible solar heat today. We must consider that wood, oil, coal and gas are steadily consumed by use. Not only will coming generations be less comfortably supplied – a thing most of us care little about – but the drain today may produce distress in our own homes and lay an embargo on our own business tomorrow. Contrast this with the freedom of the people who receive daily gifts of fuel from the Creator, taking all they wish, all they can use, freely.” These words seem even more compelling to us in the 21st Century.

Since 1974 AMECO SOLAR has been dedicated to the concept that solar energy is the solution to our energy future. Solar energy is unlimited, non-polluting and free. We are committed to providing cost-effective and reliable solar systems and strive to offer the best components available. We believe that using solar energy is simply the best investment available to homeowners or businesses today, since the alternative to solar is just a never-ending monthly expense.

AMECO SOLAR is one of the oldest established solar companies in California. Since 1974 our company has been installing solar systems for its residential, commercial and municipal clients. As a pioneer in the solar field, we have witnessed the industry evolve from “ground zero.” In this period we have experimented with different system designs as well as a myriad of different solar collectors, controls, pumps, and storage media. As a result we have “hands-on” experience with applications that are truly cost effective and long lasting.

Originally organized as Link & Sun Solar Co., AMECO SOLAR specializes in solar system services including design, installation and repair. As a licensed energy auditor (# 4181), we can provide a feasibility study that encompasses solar and details the complete energy picture for an entire facility. As a licensed solar contractor (# 483280), we do not represent just one manufacturer of solar equipment and reserves its recommendations until after the site is examined.

Many recent technical innovations have contributed to the broad based viability of current solar technology. As you may know, the solar industry continues to expand across the United States and abroad. Prudent consumers who recognize the volatility of the energy market and the basic soundness of the technology persist in investing in energy producing solar equipment….Ameco Solar shares their confidence! ~
