It’s always a pleasure getting a peek behind the curtain at some of our amazing local partners. Sean over at creates some of the coolest handcrafted wooden keepsakes around, shipping these unique pieces all across the country from right here on the Central Coast.

One of our favorite projects is the official Wooden Junior Ranger Badges — beautifully crafted keepsakes that help inspire kids to explore and protect the outdoors while celebrating our national parks and public lands.

It’s easy to fall into the “out of sight, out of mind” trap when it comes to your solar system but those hardworking photovoltaic panels up on your roof really do benefit from regular cleanings. ☀️

If you can’t remember the last time they were cleaned… chances are it’s been too long. Dust, pollen, bird droppings, and coastal grime can all impact performance over time.

Our friends at recommend giving your system some love at least once a year to help keep it operating at its best.✅💯

A recent 5-star reviewer called our very own Shane Rafferty their “Solar Sherpa,” and honestly… we’re putting that on the business card😜

Sherpas are legendary mountain guides known for helping climbers navigate some of the toughest terrain on Earth. We may not be hauling oxygen tanks up Everest, but we do know how to guide homeowners through proposals, permits, panels, batteries, utility paperwork, and all the other “wait, what does that mean?” moments of going solar.

So whether your solar journey feels like a scenic hike or a full-blown summit attempt, Sandbar Solar & Electric is here to be your Solar Sherpa guiding you every step of the way🤝🙌
