Services
Design-build delivery across EV charging, solar, and general electrical work. No handoffs between an installer, an electrician, and a service vendor. We are all three.
Networked AC charging for workplaces, fleets, multifamily, and retail — engineered for the panel capacity you actually have, and the port count you'll actually need.
High-power sites from 50 to 350 kW: utility coordination, civil and concrete work, switchgear, and commissioning — delivered as one scope.
Whole-site build-outs where a dozen or a hundred ports have to work together. Engineered for coordinated load, shared infrastructure, and phased expansion as your fleet or tenants grow.
Depot infrastructure for commercial and municipal fleets — sized to routes, dwell times, and utility tariffs. Overnight charging that finishes when the shift starts, without the demand charges that break the operating model.
Solar has been core to Arkay since long before EV charging existed. Commercial and industrial systems — rooftop, canopy, and ground-mount — designed to work alongside the loads we now specialize in adding.
The commercial electrical work Arkay has been doing since 1998: service upgrades, panels, switchgear, tenant improvements, and the stamped drawings that get it permitted.
Commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) — sized to shave demand charges, back up critical loads, and store solar for use when the rate is highest. Designed to work alongside EV charging so utility capacity stops being the constraint.
Preventive maintenance, diagnostics, repair, and replacement for EV charging equipment — including stations we didn't install. Broken chargers cost you drivers; we keep yours on.
Sectors
Process
A walkthrough, a load study, and a utility service review — then a fixed-scope proposal. You'll know cost, capacity, and constraints before anything is ordered.
Stamped plan sets, single-line diagrams, and equipment selection. We're hardware-agnostic: the site's requirements pick the charger, not a reseller margin.
AHJ permitting, utility applications, and rebate filings handled by us — including California state and utility incentive programs (SCE, PG&E, SDG&E, LADWP, and others).
Self-performed by our EVITP-certified crews — no subcontracted labor. Energization, network activation, signage, and a complete closeout package.
Preventive service plans with response-time SLAs, diagnostics, and repair. The install is a milestone; uptime is the product.

Licensed electrical contractor
Company
Arkay was founded in 1998 as a commercial electrical contractor — switchgear, service upgrades, tenant improvements. Solar came next, and stayed core to the business through the whole California solar boom. Grid-tied commercial installations, canopies, and eventually storage.
Five years ago we added EV charging, and it's now the fastest-growing part of the practice — but built on the same foundation as everything before it: our own crews, stamped drawings, clean conduit runs, and a closeout binder your facilities team will actually use. The scope changed. The standard didn't.
FAQ
Yes — we prepare and file utility and California state incentive applications as part of the project scope, and design sites to meet program requirements from the start so eligibility isn't discovered too late.
We're hardware-agnostic and install and service all major OCPP-compliant equipment. Equipment selection happens in design, based on your site's electrical capacity, network requirements, and operating model — not on a distribution agreement.
No. Installation is self-performed by our own EVITP-certified crews under our CSLB C-10 license. One contractor of record means one accountable party for schedule, quality, and warranty.
Yes. Our maintenance and servicing group takes over existing sites — including diagnosis, repair, and full station replacement for equipment that's been orphaned by its original installer or manufacturer.
