Mark Snyder Electric

Mark Snyder Electric is an established electrical contractor specializing in renewable energy solutions with over 40 years of experience, based in Poway/San Diego, California. Founded by master electrician Mark Snyder in 1976, the company engineers, designs, installs, maintains, and repairs solar photovoltaic (PV), wind energy, and thermal energy systems for residential, commercial, non-profit organizations as well as government clients. They are particularly known for their expertise with off-grid PV systems featuring battery backup solutions—having completed more than 30,000 renewable installations to date—and are frequently called upon to repair or upgrade existing solar installations from other providers.
The firm serves as an authorized service center for Xantrex and Schneider Electric equipment—a testament to its technical proficiency—and distributes high-quality components from top industry brands. Mark Snyder himself has consulted on projects ranging from NASA initiatives to Department of Energy pilots; notable achievements include the Plateau Solar & Wind pilot project sponsored by DOE/USDA Renewable Energy Investment Fund and custom off-grid residences like the Wheelock Residence.
Their reputation extends beyond installation: they provide comprehensive troubleshooting services when other contractors cannot resolve issues or have left customers unsupported. The company’s commitment to quality workmanship has earned it features on platforms such as Home Power Magazine and North American Clean Energy.
