California rates doubled in a decade. Most homeowners are still reacting, not planning.

The average California homeowner now pays 30–34¢ per kWh. Add time-of-use pricing and summer peaks, and the bill compounds fast.

01
Rooftop solar works, but it only solves the energy problem. Your roof looks the same. Your backyard stays the same. You've offset your bill, but your property hasn't materially changed.
02
Arka builds permitted outdoor structures — patios, carports, pergolas — with solar integrated from day one. Not a panel on a roof. A structure that adds genuine value.
03
No roof penetrations. No lease complications. No aesthetic tradeoffs. Just a covered outdoor space that pays for itself on your utility bill.
CA Residential Rate, 2024
30¢
Up from 16¢ per kWh in 2014
PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E all crossed the 30¢ threshold in 2024. The CPUC projects continued increases through 2030. This isn't a spike — it's a new baseline.

From inquiry to installation in three steps.

We handle design, permitting, and installation. You get a turnkey outdoor structure generating clean energy from day one.

01 — Consultation

We assess your property

A 15-minute call with our design team. We review your property layout, solar exposure, and utility usage to confirm fit. You'll leave with a real savings estimate.

02 — Design

We design your structure

Our team proposes 2–3 design directions tailored to your home's architecture. Solar integration is built in from the start. Full permitting is handled by Arka.

03 — Installation

We build and activate

A licensed crew installs your permitted structure. The system connects to utility net metering. You start offsetting your bill from the first full billing cycle.

Built for the way you use your property.

This isn't an expense. It's a capital improvement with a measurable return.

System Size Annual Offset 10-Year Value
6 kW ~$2,400/yr $24,000+
8 kW ~$3,100/yr $31,000+
10 kW ~$3,900/yr $39,000+
12 kW ~$4,200/yr $42,000+

Estimates based on CA average of 30¢/kWh. Actual savings depend on utility, usage profile, and solar exposure. We provide a personalized model on your consultation call.

What it looks like after the call.

★★★★★

"I'd looked at rooftop solar twice and walked away both times. The Arka consultation was the first time someone showed me what it would actually look like on my property — and what my savings would actually be."

Michael T. San Jose, CA · Solar Carport
★★★★★

"We were spending $620/month with PG&E in the summer. The patio cover we added is genuinely beautiful — and now we're running at roughly $190/month. The structure paid for a significant part of itself in year one."

Diane & Mark R. Danville, CA · Solar Patio Cover
★★★★★

"Arka told me on the first call exactly what I'd save and what it would cost. No vague promises. The system has outperformed the estimate by about 11% in year one."

James K. Pleasanton, CA · Solar Pergola

The things people ask before they book.

Is this just rooftop solar with extra steps?
Not at all. Rooftop solar installs a functional system on your existing roof — it doesn't change your property. Arka builds a new permitted structure that adds usable square footage, covered outdoor space, and architectural character. The energy generation is integrated into something you'd want on your property anyway.
Will this actually increase my home's value?
Solar carports and covered outdoor structures consistently appear as high-ROI improvements in high-value CA markets. A solar patio or carport adds functional living or utility space that appraisers can value directly — not just as equipment on a roof.
How long does installation take?
Most projects go from signed contract to system activation in 8–14 weeks, depending on permitting timelines. Arka manages all permitting — you're not chasing paperwork. We keep you updated at every milestone.
What if my property isn't the right layout?
That's exactly what the consultation call is for. We've designed structures for a wide range of lot configurations — narrow driveways, north-facing yards, limited setback situations. Our team will tell you clearly if Arka is a fit or not. No pressure to proceed.

Find out what your home qualifies for. In 15 minutes.

A real conversation with our design team. We'll look at your property, run your numbers, and tell you honestly if Arka is a fit.
