SunMade Smart Roofing, Solar & Electric

What SunMade Smart Roofing, Solar & Electric does

SunMade Smart Roofing, Solar & Electric is a Fresno, California-based residential and commercial contractor that designs, installs, and services integrated solar PV, roofing, electrical, and home battery systems for customers across California's Central Valley (Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Merced, Visalia, Bakersfield, and Los Banos). The company holds three California Contractors State License Board licenses (C-46 solar, C-39 roofing, C-10 electrical) and operates a fully in-house model with no subcontractors, supported by preferred-installer partnerships with GAF, Owens Corning, and Tesla. Founded by Oz Wardak in 2016 (building on industry experience since 2008), the company has completed thousands of residential installations and is the only Diamond Certified solar, roofing, and electrical contractor in the Central Valley, recognized for six consecutive years through 2024.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time installation projects (residential and commercial solar, roofing, battery backup) with secondary recurring revenue from maintenance and repair services and financing-partner relationships that facilitate $0-down loans, PPAs, and leases on 10-25 year terms. Pricing is quote-based with financing structured to eliminate upfront cost, and the go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging local SEO, reputation management, content marketing, and community engagement. The customer base is fragmented across individual homeowners and local businesses (warehouses, offices, schools, agricultural facilities) with no disclosed enterprise concentration. In 2025 the company rebranded from SunMade Energy to its current name to reflect its expanded roofing and electrical offerings alongside the original solar core.
