New Day Solar, Inc. is a leading solar energy contractor based in Murrieta, California. Founded over 23 years ago by Scott and Mary Carlson—originally as Carlson Solar—the company has been a pioneer in Southern California’s solar industry, installing some of the first photovoltaic systems across San Diego and Riverside counties.
