Revolutionize Outdoor Living with Solar Patios

Solar patios are an innovative solution that combines the benefits of outdoor living with the power of solar energy. By integrating solar panels into the design of a patio, you can enjoy a shaded space while generating clean, renewable electricity. Solar patios not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle and increase your property’s value. Let’s explore the benefits of solar patios, how they work, and why they might be the perfect addition to your home.

The Versatility of Solar Patios

Solar patios are a versatile and stylish addition to any home, offering multiple benefits beyond just generating electricity. Whether you’re looking to create a shaded outdoor area, enhance your home’s curb appeal, or reduce your dependence on the grid, solar patios can be customized to meet your needs. They can be integrated into an existing patio or designed as a standalone structure, and when combined with other solar systems like rooftop panels, they provide a comprehensive solar energy solution.

Solar patios are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, blending seamlessly with your home’s architecture. This combination of form and function makes solar patios a cost-effective and attractive way to harness the sun’s energy.

Jeremy Roos

I was in the solar business for years before accepting a position as an Energy Manager for a Native Tribe. I still receive inquiries from friends, family, and former customers to advise them on going solar. I have worked with a handful of companies, and Supreme is the best. While they are smaller than other companies, that works in their favor.

Amazing service and work done by these guys. I received great attention from the sales rep, he kept me posted on all visits from his installers, Edison and city inspectors. The installers took 1 day for 30 panels install. They kept the install clean and had zero issues. Very satisfied with the whole process and will definitely recommend to anyone looking for solar.

Cynthia McFarling


We financed our solar system and have had it installed for almost two years. We have had a credit true up this far. This company is very professional and the customer service is phenomenal. From the initial purchase to installation, they obtained permits, offered financing options, communicated with us every step of the way and had our system live within two weeks.

Lisa Quillen

Mike and the team were EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgeable. All our questions were answered immediately, and we were never left with any concerns. The installation was quick (only a few hours for 30+ panels) and the install team was friendly. As a bonus, the system is super affordable and looks great – not an eye sore like some systems you see.  I will 100% recommend to anyone considering Solar!

David Sandoval


Michael and his team handle everything with ease. Stress free, from start to finish it was about 4 weeks. Very professional and knowledgeable with their product. Would recommend anyone looking into solar to call these guys first.

Just wanted to say I would recommend this company to anyone! They answered all of my questions, very knowledgeable, and even showed me how the monitoring system worked. Their financing was $0 down and the payment was lower than my electric bill. Definitely gonna be recommending to my friends and family.
