Solar modules convert sunlight into moving electrons of direct current electricity ("DC" power) which then flow from the module to an inverter. The inverter converts the "DC" power to alternating current ("AC" power), so that it can be used to power your entire home's electrical systems, including lights, cooling systems, and appliances.
Your pool is a place for fun, exercise and relaxation - when the water's warm enough. You can enjoy your pool for months longer each year with reliable, efficient heat using the world's most abundant fuel source - the sun's free energy. Mid-State Solar chooses only the highest quality solar collectors to heat your pool.

I had my solar panels installed by Peterson Dean a few years ago. This last summer something went out in my Enphase box so I wasn't getting any data as to how much electricity I was generating. This had happened to me once before so I knew to call Enphase first to have them trouble shoot it then to call Peterson Dean to install the new part. Imagine my surprise when Enphase informed me Peterson Dean went bankrupt on the solar panel part of their company so I had no warranty for them to come install the part. It took 2 months to get the part and they were supposed to send a list of contractors

We purchased a home in Ripon last summer and wanted to get our pools solar equipment tuned up before summer. I found Mid State's Solar sticker on our equipment from the previous owner. I called about 4 weeks ago (mid April) and spoke with a lady who was very friendly. She told me they were very busy, or in her words, "slammed" and would not commit or make an appointment at that time. I called back every week to try and schedule but received the same response, "We are very busy."
Finally, my wife received a call from their office on May 20th stating a technician would

This was by far the best company I have worked with in a very long time. The customer service was (and still is) top notch. You can tell Mid-State Solar takes pride in their customer service and their business as a whole. Aaron is extremely polite, very knowledgeable and does a great job of explaining the process the entire way. I felt the pricing was reasonable and I didn’t feel like I was being sold something I didn’t. Mid-State Solar is the way to go.

Great family owned business. Years ago I had a pool heating system installed and recently added PV panels. Aaron worked with me to design a system and configuration I was happy with. Installation was very professional and had a clean look. They even painted the electrical conduit to match my roof and house. I have been very happy with both my pool and PV system. I would highly recommend Mid State Solar.

Last Summer Mid-State installed solar water panels and a new high efficiency pump. They were quick and professional. I had several problems with the pump (operator error) that they kindly came out and checked at no charge. I would highly recommend them if you like you pool warm all summer long without the use of the solar blanket. There pricing was also very good. I had 4 quotations and Mid-State became the best .
