Los Altos Hills, CA Roofing, Solar, and Battery Backup Contractor
Los Altos Hills sits in the foothills above the valley floor, so it runs warmer and drier than nearby Los Altos or Mountain View. Homes near Foothill College and the Country Club area get strong afternoon sun, while more wooded lots toward the Santa Cruz Mountains stay cooler and shadier. The elevation changes across town affect both roof design and solar layout, which is why we assess each property in person.
Most of the town gets about 5.4 to 5.6 peak sun hours per day, which makes solar a strong fit for the large roofs common here. Tree shade is the main challenge, so panel placement and tree clearance both matter during the site assessment. Tile, standing seam metal, and composition shingle are all common on the custom homes in the hills. Because much of Los Altos Hills sits in a wildfire hazard area, Class A fire-rated roofing matters, and we can walk you through fire-resistant options including Class A composition and standing seam metal.

Roofing, Solar, and Battery Products We Install in Los Altos Hills
Because much of Los Altos Hills sits in a wildfire hazard area, we lean on Class A fire-rated materials. As a GAF Certified contractor, we install GAF shingles rated for fire and wind, and for homes that want a roof that reflects summer heat we offer CertainTeed Landmark Solaris cool shingles. On the solar side we install Qcells and Hyundai panels, both a good fit for the large roofs common in the hills. Because hillside homes lose power during storms and Public Safety Power Shutoffs, we also pair solar with the Tesla Powerwall so your home keeps running when the grid goes down.
