Commercial solar installation in Orange County.
Rooftop, carport and ground-mount solar for developers and commercial owners, designed and built by a builder that has worked in Southern California since 1977.
Solar designed with the structure it sits on.
Burge Energy is part of a general contractor, so the roof, the carport structure and the electrical work are reviewed by the same company that installs the array. That matters most on existing buildings.
Rooftop solar
Arrays on commercial and industrial roofs, with a structural review of the roof before layout is final.
Solar carports
Canopies over parking that generate power, shade cars and can carry EV chargers.
EV charging →Ground-mount arrays
Ground-mounted systems where land is available and roofs are not a fit.
