PermaCity

PermaCity is a leading commercial solar energy developer and installer based in Los Angeles since 2003. Now a division of Catalyze following its acquisition in 2021, PermaCity specializes in converting unused commercial roof space into revenue-generating solar assets for public facilities, real estate portfolio owners, and businesses. The company has installed over 150 MW of solar capacity across more than 14 million square feet of rooftops—including landmark projects like the Westmont Industrial Complex (the world’s largest rooftop solar installation at 16.4 MW), L.A. Convention Center, and Fox Studios.
PermaCity offers comprehensive services from project design through financing and ongoing maintenance. Their proprietary “SolarStrap” mounting technology enables rapid deployment on large-scale roofs with minimal disruption to building operations—a key differentiator recognized by industry leaders and clients alike.
As part of Catalyze’s national platform post-acquisition, PermaCity now also provides integrated battery storage solutions alongside its core solar offerings. The company maintains a strong reputation for innovation in both technology and project delivery within California’s distributed generation market.
