About Friendly Energy Solutions

We're here to serve our community, not just sell solar.

Founder of Friendly Energy Solutions

Ryan Petersen

Founder & Solar Consultant · [email protected] · (559) 334-0826

"I started Friendly Energy Solutions because I believe the more people you help, the better. Solar is one of the most impactful things a homeowner can do — and everyone deserves honest guidance to make it happen."

Friendly Energy Solutions was founded on a simple belief — the more people you help, the better. We're not a call center. We're not a nationwide corporation. We're your neighbors in the Central Valley, and we genuinely care about the people we work with.

At the big solar companies, you're just a number. Salespeople are incentivized to close deals, not to do right by you. We've seen too many homeowners stuck with undersized systems and surprise true-up bills at the end of the year. That's not how we operate.

We size every system appropriately — often up to 150% offset — so your solar actually covers your energy needs year-round. Solar is a long-term investment. It should only have to get done once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about going solar with Friendly Energy Solutions.

Do I have to buy the solar panels?
No. We offer Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) through Goodleap, Enfin, and Lightreach. You pay nothing upfront — no loans, no liens. You simply pay for the power your system produces, typically at a lower rate than your utility bill.
How much does it cost to go solar?
Nothing out of pocket. With our PPA options there are no upfront costs, no loans and no liens. You only pay for the power your system generates — often at a lower rate than what you currently pay your utility company.
What if my roof isn't suitable for solar?
No problem. If your roof doesn't meet California's installation standards, we will take care of the roof replacement completely — at no additional cost to you. Nothing will stand between you and going solar.
Do I qualify for solar?
Most Central Valley homeowners qualify. Generally we recommend a minimum electric bill of $80/month, though qualification also depends on your roof space and sunshine hours. Book a free consultation and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.
How long does installation take?
Most systems are installed within 1 to 3 weeks of signing. Permission to operate is typically granted within two weeks of installation — and then you're generating clean energy and saving money.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all cities and areas throughout the Central Valley, California.
What equipment do you use?
We only work with top tier brands including Q Cells solar panels, Tesla Powerwall, and Enphase batteries. You get the best technology available, backed by our lifetime monitoring and maintenance guarantee.
What happens after installation?
