Borrego Solar Systems was established
in 1980 by astrophysicist James Rickard. His first project was the design and construction of his own all-solar home in Borrego Springs. After two decades of bringing solar energy systems to customers in Southern California, the company opened its Berkeley office in 2002. Today, with more than 500 solar electric power systems installed in residences, businesses, schools, government buildings and other locations, they are one of the industry’s leading solar electric power system design and installation firms, serving residential and commercial customers throughout the Bay Area.
