Serving Los Angeles and Ventura Counties for more than 40 years, Galaxy Plumbing, Heating, AC & Solar is a plumbing and HVAC company based in Oak Park, CA, that also offers solar services. Our team handles solar work for homes and businesses, covering new installations, repairs, replacements, maintenance, and energy storage systems from start to finish. Licensed in plumbing, HVAC, and solar, we bring careful, dependable work to every solar job we take on.


The problem is one just about every homeowner around here knows well. Electricity rates keep creeping up, the summer heat drives your usage through the roof, and month after month, you're handing the utility company more and more money with nothing to show for it once the power's used up. It can feel like there's no way to get ahead when the bill just keeps growing.
A lot of that comes down to how traditional power works. You're buying every kilowatt from the grid at whatever rate the utility sets, and those rates tend to rise year after year, often with higher pricing during the peak afternoon and evening hours when your home is using the most. Sunny days that could be working in your favor just pass overhead, doing nothing for your wallet while your meter keeps spinning. For homes without solar power, all that free energy pouring down from the sky goes completely to waste.
Turning it around starts with a plan built for your specific home. Our team looks at your roof, your energy habits, and your goals before designing a system that fits, then handles the full solar panel installation from mounting the panels to wiring everything into your electrical setup. We can pair your home solar panels with a Tesla Powerwall or another battery backup system so you're storing the extra energy your panels make during the day, giving you power to draw from at night or when the grid goes down. Every step gets done cleanly and to code, since the cost of solar panels should buy you a system that actually performs.
The result is a home that makes much of its own electricity, a utility bill that shrinks in a hurry, and backup power ready when you need it. Adding solar panels to your home protects you from rising rates for decades, boosts your property value, and lets you lean on clean, renewable energy you're generating yourself. That kind of lasting payoff is exactly what our team works to deliver on every install.
Here’s an overview of how our team helps homes and businesses around Oak Park make the most of the sun.

Solar makes sense for all kinds of properties, and we're set up to serve them all. Our crew handles solar work for homes and businesses, including new installs and maintenance, with service agreements available for commercial projects.
The electrical side of a solar system is where the real know-how counts.

Trusted the way the best solar companies are, our team keeps the power flowing safely.
Panels are built to last, but they still need attention from time to time. We take care of solar panel repair and solar panel replacement, getting an underperforming or aging array back to producing as it should. As one of the solar panel companies locals count on, we treat every system as if it were our own.
Making your own power is even better when you can hold onto it for later. We install Tesla Powerwall systems, battery backup, and energy storage that keep your lights on during outages and let you use your stored solar energy after dark.

Many existing solar systems can support battery storage, but the project may require equipment upgrades, electrical changes, permits, and utility coordination. California also applies specific building, fire, product safety, and contractor licensing rules to energy storage work.
Yes, a solar installation generally requires review and permitting through Ventura County Building and Safety. The permit process checks structural, electrical, equipment, and code requirements before the system receives final approval.
Modern solar panels typically operate for 25–35 years, although their energy output may gradually decrease as they age. Inverters, batteries, wiring, and other system components may need repair or replacement sooner than the panels themselves.
Check system monitoring regularly and arrange an inspection when production drops unexpectedly, equipment reports a fault, or panels show visible damage. Periodic solar services can catch loose connections, inverter issues, debris buildup, damaged wiring, and aging components before they further reduce output.
Repair usually makes sense when a technician finds an isolated problem involving wiring, an inverter, mounting hardware, or a small number of panels. Replacement or a larger upgrade may offer better value when equipment has reached the end of its useful life, damage affects much of the system, or older components no longer meet the property’s energy needs.
