View service areasDoes solar keep the lights on during an outage?
A standard grid-connected system generally shuts down during an outage. Backup requires compatible battery or generator equipment designed for the loads you want to power. Explore our interactive solar demonstration to see the difference.
Can you replace my roof if it already has solar?
Yes. Origin coordinates panel removal and reinstallation with roof replacement. Equipment handling, storage, sequencing, and warranty requirements are reviewed before work starts.
Do you handle residential and commercial electrical?
Yes. We review electrical projects for homes and businesses, including panels, service upgrades, circuits, wiring, EV charging, and lighting. The scope starts with the property and equipment you have.
How do I get a quote?

What outdoor lighting can you help with?
Landscape and architectural lighting, pathways and entries, patios and outdoor living areas, plus controls and existing-system improvements. We review the layout, available power, and your goals before finalizing the scope.
