Solar Union
5.0
Going solar was something I wanted but didn’t know if I can afford this project for a duplex property such as mine located in the outer sunset. I met with a few solar installers in the bay area and Solar Union was the only company that helps you qualify for rebates offered by San Francisco, in addition to financing options. I was able to replace the roof with a company Solar Union recommended. The whole project (roofing then solar installation) took 1 week and there were only minor findings (grounding) and resolved quickly. Thank you Solar Union team!

Solar Harmonics
5.0
It's been nearly a year since we have installed our solar panels and we couldn't be happier. I know this month we could expected a $300+ PG & E bill without the solar, but instead, it's $10. Solar Harmonics was thorough, professional, on time and on budget. You won't go wrong going solar with solar harmonics! My favorite thing about my solar panel system is opening my electricity bill and seeing a $0 charge

Solar Harmonics

I've have several consultations with other solar companies and felt like I was another number. Fred with Solar Harmonics was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I really was impressed with his service and was happy to buy solar from Solar Harmonics. I would highly recommend this company for your solar needs. The install was quick and efficient once permits were approved by the city.

It was so great working with solar harmonics for our solar install at our home in Lafayette. Jamie is very responsive and the entire process was extremely straightforward. The install team was also very organized, friendly and great to work with. I highly recommend using Solar Harmonics for your project. Even if you aren't sure solar is right for you it's worth reaching out to find out!

Solar Harmonics
5.0
I have been studying solar and solar companies for over 2 years. During that time I spoke with at least 5 different solar companies. I compared price, options, time frames to complete the job, various types of panels and inverters. Without a doubt Jamie and Solar Harmonics came out on top on every account. Did I get cheaper quotes? yes. Jamie was there at the end to show how, why and where the differences were, and not as a salesman but as an educator. To have someone spend as much time with my wife and I as Jamie did over a two year period without the sale gave me the confidence to choose Solar Harmonics to complete our solar project. I had been waiting to get the Solar installed to get the breakeven time down below 7 years. Jamie has us breaking even in just over 5 years. So far everything he said would happen, has, on time and with very little hassle. if I have anyone ask me abut solar I will insist they speak with Jamie Duran and Solar Harmonics as they will get the straight scoop on the best way to go solar for them. Thanks Jamie for a great job!

PLAN IT SOLAR
5.0
Plan It Solar performed our installation! Top professionals from planing to completion. Did not over sell or engineer our project; provided options for us to review and explained pros and cons and expected benefits. Project management, installation management, and project crews are top notch. Delivered on time with minimal delay due to unexpected construction of our home (not their issue). I even added solar heating to my solar electric power late in the process, and it was no problem at all. If you are considering a Solar project I'd give Plan it Solar a serious evaluation to do your project.

SolarCity
5.0
Solar City was outstanding to deal with, from the very first visit with the Salesman, to the final turn up and test. Solar City's pricing is very competative. I purchased a 4.3 Kw system consisting of 20 panels. Their Salesman answered each and every question that I had. I had obtained competitive pricing from two other Solar Companies. I liked the price and proposal from Solar City for a complete purchase price. Solar City does a great job communicating with the customer. Each and every step is communicated well in advance. The installation was done very promptly and professionally. I really liked the Solar City crew and their approach to my project. The only down side, and this is no reflection on Solar City, but the City of San Jose building department and PGand E take so long to come out and do their part that a project that Solar City could get done in mere days drags on for many weeks because of the slowness of the building department and PGand E. Solar City was really great! I would recommend them to anyone doing a solar project.

VISTA SOLAR
5.0
I was worried to use Vista Solar because they are the 'new kids' on the block doing solar installation. My fears were put to rest and I was amazed with everything the company has to offer. The company not only gave us a competitive bid but they took the time to explain the process of solar installation and each Solar option available to us. Together we designed a system for optimum efficiency. When it came time for the installation the crew arrived on time and kept us informed of each phase of the job along the way. I am so happy with our new solar system! During the summer months, (with the pool and air conditioning running), our PG&E bill was over $1,000.00 each month. Last month - I kid you not, my bill for PG&E was only $ 463.00! Solar Power Rocks! Vista Solar gets my vote and I am HAPPY to recommend them to others.

Solar Harmonics
5.0
just wanted to highly recommend Solar Harmonics solar company. The owner of the company Jamie Duran is a very knowledgeable and honest business owner. He guided us through our entire solar installation. Although it seemed like a long process jamie and his staff at solar Harmonics did a great job at putting our worries to rest and were very professional in doing everything that they said they were going to do in a professional and timely manner.

Solar Harmonics
5.0
I looked at going solar for a few years, and when I decided to go solar, I asked a lot of people. Unfortunately, most of my friends and neighbors had recommendations on who not to go with for their solar projects. Almost everyone had some type of horror story. I understand solar is a big purchase, so I wanted to go with a company with a great reputation - and I have not been disappointed with our system from Solar Harmonics. I’ve had my system for close to a year, and it has nearly eliminated our electricity bill. I enjoy checking the solar production of my system and really enjoy not sending almost $300 to PG & E every month. As far as the installation, I have had zero problems, and their crews were fast, efficient, clean, and helpful. I recommend Solar Harmonics to anyone even considering solar power for their home and am happy to give them a five-star review.

American Array Solar
5.0
After getting denied by another solar company, I lost interest in going solar, but David Bustos a representative of American Array Solar came to my house and helped my family by educating us about solar, explained everything in full detail on how much my solar energy system would cost and now my $400 a month electricity bill went down to $100 a month with Zero out of pocket. This service makes nothing but sense. I recommend you call them for a free consultation specially if you already have been denied by other companies.

Solar Harmonics
5.0
When we decided to get Solar we had a quote from Solar City which was overpriced and the salesman was scripted.. He did not answer our questions, he only tried to persuade us to lease the solar from them. We saw an ad from Solar Harmonics and met with Fred. From that point on our experience was awesome. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable very easy to work with. They handled everything from the permits to dealing with PG&E. The turnaround was painless and the install was quick and painless. The installer even took the time to walk me through the entire system and deal with the city inspector. I would highly recommend Solar Harmonics for your solar needs.

American Array Solar
5.0
It is wonderful experience working with Adam and Lorenam. We need to replace a couple of fascia boards on roof and install Solar Panels afterwards. American Array Solar has amazing teams. The entire process worked smoothly. Adam and Lorenam have taken care of every details on scheduling, design, permit and software monitoring. Technicians did great job on installation thus inspection passed immediately. The price is very competitive. We now have Solar Panel provide electricity to the house for clean air and life time saving on electricity bill. It is one of the best decisions that we have made to go with American Array Solar who are professional, and would defenitely recommend to anyone considering Solar energy or roof projects.

Cinnamon Solar
5.0
I installed solar on my roof with Akeena Solar in 2006. The inverter came with a 10-year warranty and after 9 years it failed. Although Akeena shut its doors, their former CEO Barry Cinnamon now heads up Cinnamon Solar and he was responsive and happy to help, despite technically being at a new company with no legal responsibility for Akeena's installs. Cinnamon Solar obtained a warranty replacement for the inverter and installed it free of charge for me. I really appreciate Barry's commitment to older customers and that they were willing to help me out like this. I will definitely be recommending Cinnamon Solar to my friends if any of them are in the market for a solar array.

VISTA SOLAR
5.0
Vista Solar installed my solar power system in January of 2009. Their proposal was thorough and they presented a number of options. I evaluated the proposals from several companies, before selecting Vista Solar for my system. Their proposal worked out to have the least cost per kW (the cost above is after the CSI rebate but before the 30% federal tax credit). Once I selected Vista Solar, they immediately drew of the plans and began to work with the city planning department to obtain the necessary permits for the job. The installation crew was very professional, showing up when scheduled, working a full day, and cleaning up at the end of each day. The disruption of my daily routine was very minimal. The system was completed on time, about five days after they began the job. They also provided all the paperwork required for the California Solar Initiative rebate and to support the Federal 30% tax credit. I am very satisfied with my solar power system from Vista Solar. I highly recommend Vista Solar, if you are considering a project of this type.

Mega Power Electric, Inc
5.0
The entire office did a fantastic job of walking us through exactly what to expect and when to expect it. They made a complex process simple and without complication. Mega Power Electric Inc installers were professional, and cleaned up after themselves each day so that we didn't have to deal with a construction site. Most importantly, they under promised and over delivered.... to date generating more than promised.."

Earth Electric Inc
5.0
Earth Electric is different from the big solar providers. - They're good at what they do. It's not a sales company with some outsourced subcontractor labor. The staff you talk to are the ones doing the the actual work, not someone in a boiler room selling systems they will never see. - Friendly, prompt, fair prices and extremely knowledgable. - Locally owned, woman owned, with real employees not subs. They will be there for you after the install is done. - Head installer Zack came and looked at my complex situation in person, without needing any arm twisting to do it, and gave me a sketch immediately of what would work, where, how many panels, etc. No other company would even show up without a commitment. - Sheryl is a powerhouse of information and in-depth knowledge. She gave me information about manufacturers that was very crucial to me, for long term service and reliability, which is just as important to me as the initial price. - Earth Electric stuck with me through a difficult and changing scenario as my ADU construction went a bit sideways...city planners made things complicated...it all worked out in the end, and I still got a good deal on my beautiful LG panels. - Very importantly, for me, Earth Electric worked hand in hand with the contractor who (unexpectedly) had to give me a new roof at the last minute. (Kent Roofing, also highly recommended!) **If you need a new roof AND solar at the same time, this is the dream team combination that will make your life bearable, as you navigate that scenario.** In summary, my situation was complicated and kept changing (plus, hello, Covid making everything harder), and the array was not all that big. Earth Electric was exactly what I needed them to be: hyper-competent, confidence inspiring, and excellent in service. EXCELLENT in service. And, still a super competitive price! I give Sheryl, Zack, Zack and the rest of the crew my highest recommendation. I will never regret going with them.
