I am writing this review while 5,000+ of my neighbors are suffering through a power outage. Meo and team installed my battery backup over the last month, handled all the permitting and everything, and commissioned it Friday. It is three days later - Monday - and my electricity is purring along while we have a power outage expected to last for hours. Incredible timing! The power keeps coming back on and going back out and I haven't even registered a blip on my computer screen. I've been in meetings and working like normal. Amazing timing! AHS was the most reasonable of the four companies I got quotes from. Meo was communicative and good to work with. There were some issues with timeliness and communication with his installers, but they were relatively minor. Thien, the representative who commissioned the system and met the city inspector, was a gem. I definitely recommend this company. read more

Meo and AHS installed my system in San Mateo back in June. Everyone on the team was very friendly and knowledgeable and I can't thank them all enough for the efficient communication and install. I received 6 quotes and ultimately went with AHS due to communication during the process - always willing to hop on the phone and answer questions during the search. Highly recommended! read more

I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service your team provided in resolving the circuit breaker issue with my Dad's solar system installed couple years ago. Your prompt response and professionalism turned a stressful situation into a seamless experience. Your Team quickly diagnosed the issue and replaced the faulty component with efficiency and care. Their expertise and clear communication reassured me throughout the process. Thanks to your team's efforts, my Dad's solar system is now fully operational, and my Dad's home is powered safely again. I truly appreciate AHSolar's commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction. Please extend my thanks to the entire team for a job well done. My Solar system at my house is running smoothly for 5 years now without interruption. Their quote is unbeatable with other competitors. I recommend their services to anyone looking for Solar system. read more

I reached out to AHSolar concerning issues I am having with my residential system, and they were very, very helpful. I wish they were working in the residential market to possibly help me with my issues, but they are focused on the commercial and industrial markets, and I think that just shows how smart they are. I wish them the best and really appreciate their willingness to speak with me and provide me with some very valuable information. Thanks! read more

I'm going to join the long list of happy customers. It's been a year since the install and it's all still working great. Price was not *the* cheapest, but the components they were using along with the service we got made the absolutely the best deal. We arranged an install date, but they called with a cancellation and offered to do it just a few days later. Installer was on his game, careful with our roof and yard, and cleaned up after himself. 2 days total. Very pleased we used them and would do it again! read more

These guys are awesome! I installed a 9.6kwh system with them earlier this year. They submitted all paperwork to get me in before the nem 2.0 sunset, this despite only giving them about a month before the deadline. They gave me invaluable advice about the install, walked me through what needed to be done in terms of upgrades to our panels. After being ready, they were out to install within a week. The price as discussed was honored despite installation being roughly 8 months after initial signing. Look no further. These are the guys to get your solar done. They are a smaller shop, but that means you talk with the masterminds who are actually implementing your project. read more

Meo and his team are very professional from consulting to installation. We love the micro inverters he recommended so much that we can monitor the performance of each panels. Also the whole process moved very fast since we reached out to Meo and the quote is very competitive too Highly recommended!!! read more

We just finished our solar Installation two weeks ago without any problems and the system has been running strong. To preface this review, our particular property has a few difficulties that many other installers we've contacted either don't even want to touch or they recommended expensive alternatives for. The first and most major difficulty was that our roof is made up of lightweight concrete tile. If you have one yourself, then you know what you're up against. For me in particular, one installer recommended an additional $10k to re-roof the tiles under the panels while other installers just didn't want to do it. Another difficulty we had was that since we have an older house, our electrical panel maxes out at 100 amps. Most installers recommended that we increase it to 125 amps with one installer in particular including a required $5000 panel upgrade into their quote. The last difficulty was actually the fact that the property was located in Fremont itself. Apparently, Fremont has a ton of red tape that other cities don't have and an installer I contacted flat out refused a request for proposal which goes to show how onerous it is for this area. We reached out to Affordable Home Solar (AHS) and we were very surprised that these were all non-issues for them. Meo came out to do the on-site inspection, stated that they've installed panels on lightweight concrete tiles like ours before without any problems, that we didn't need a panel upgrade at all if we didn't want one unlike what other installers were implying, and he came up with a plan and a quote that day. The installer (Hector) came by a few weeks later, attached hooks under the tiles (which I've read was the best solution for these types of tiles), didn't break a single tile, and installed all 13 panels in a day by himself. They finished the electrical work a few days later, managed the Fremont paperwork as well as PG&E's, PG&E did the inspection a few weeks after that, then we received the permit. It was a generally smooth process (if you're in Fremont, apparently the piping needs to be painted to match your wall so make sure you have the paint for that) and the kicker is that they had the best quote per watt out of everyone else. We were about to give up on a solar system altogether and just happened to come across AHS as a final result in our search. My neighbors are all looking into solar systems of their own and I've been recommending AHS to be part of their list of companies to call. If their experience is anything like ours, I'm sure AHS will come out ahead. read more

Highly recommend AHS for solar panel system installation. Great customer service. Expedient and informative planning process. It is okay to ask as many questions as you want including revisions to your plan. Top tier components and excellent workmanship. Most affordable pricing amongst over 10 different solar installation companies in the SF Bay Area. Meo Nguyen and his team managed all the permits and applications with Sunnyvale and PG&E. Short timeline to completion. Initial discussion, proposal, site inspection and city plan check were completed in 3 weeks. 1.5 days to install and we waited two weeks for City Final Inspection. PG&E Permission To Operate was granted 2 weeks after City Final inspection. There are not many companies that offer this level of service with abundant communication and integrity. There is no greater value than working with AHS. read more

Thoughtful and cost efficient installation of solar. Great roofing referral and easy to work around timeline of roof replacement.

We installed a 10.9 kW system in South San Jose, CA with Meo and the team from Affordable Home Solar . He successfully bid against two other vendors for a SolarEdge 10kW HD Wave inverter and 37 Hanwha Q CELLS Q.PEAKBLKG4.1-295 modules with SolarEdge DC optimizers. Another vendor was a very close second at only $1,000 more but, in the end, I felt that Meo's personal involvement in the project outweighed the longer systems warranty from the other vendors. Meo was patient and communicative throughout the process and answered every one of my questions. He helped me understand the various options and what each vendors solution brought to the table. The best part of the experience for me was being part of the install. I learned how my system works from the lag screws in the joists all the way down to how the inverter connects to my electrical panel. The system has worked flawlessly since August 2018 and generated a whopping 6.78 MWh in 6-months saving me $1,477.81 already with a projected ROI of 6-years. read more

They installed my system in 2022, Reached out to Meo with some questions and received a reply within 1 business day. Good to see they are responsive to clients. read more

I requested a quote for solar providing all the necessary information including home address, electrical usage, cost of kW/h, future plans, etc. Meo responded and said that we can't offset more than 60% without adding batteries. Apparently, he was pushing battery installation which makes no sense in our city. I questioned him about this and asked for a quote. At that time he stopped responding. I then also contacted him via their website in case he missed my message through yelp. Still didn't receive a response. Checked my spam box. No response. If a company doesn't respond with pre-sale questions, you certainly won't get much support after a sale. read more

Prompt response to email and phone queries, fast turnaround on quote, competitive pricing. Meo helped with our PG&E application with quick turnaround to meet the NEM 2 submission deadline. Their crew completed the installation within two days. The whole process went very smoothly without a hitch. Highly recommended. read more

We had an excellent experience overall with Affordable Home Solar. For context, we chose them over two others installers that we interviewed. Meo is knowledgeable, straight shooting and trustworthy, my core factors when screening service providers. Christian led the install team and walked me thoughtfully through onboarding and the PG&E application. When we detected a minor setup issue, Christian had a person onsite the same day and immediately resolved it. Only area for optimization might be more proactive updates whenever estimated start dates move but Neo was responsive when I emailed. Net net, I would recommend them! read more

Meo loves to work on solar. It's very important to me to hire someone who is passionate because I'm confident that they will do a great job. Meo indeed did an exceptional job installing a 14-panel with micro inverters system on my Sunnyvale home's roof with great attention to details. He handled everything for us including city and PGE permits. Definitely recommend Meo to others and will hire him again when it's time to expand our system. read more

AHSolar Pro Solutions - Looks great. Work like a charm - Solar Installation Near Me - San Leandro, California

Great prices and service, using quality products (I went with the LG and Enphase package). Meo and his crew are very knowledgeable and more affordable than bigger outfits that I got quotes from. Would definitely recommend using Affordable Home Solar, but plan ahead at least a couple months to accommodate busy schedule and you'll be very pleased. read more

Looked into Solar for a while . Affordable responded quick gave an affordable price and have been very responsive. Explained exactly what was going to happen and have followed the plan to a tee read more

Meo is very knowledgeable on solar. Very straightforward honest person. The quote price is competitive and this is a complete package from site survey to city inspection. Highly recommend!! Mike from Union City read more

Meo and his team were a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend AHS for installing your solar system! After several unsatisfying quotes from other installers I came across AHS. Meo quickly gave me a quote with great components, which was also the most affordable option. Meo and his team were extremely efficient, responsive and always took time to answer my questions. It took them 16 days from the initial quote to installing the system. They handled all the permits, city inspection as well as the PG&E interconnect agreement, which was all included in the price of the system. We had to wait for city inspection for about 5 weeks (San Jose), and we got permission to operate 3 days after final city inspection. I am extremely happy with the system they designed and installed and cannot recommend them enough! If you are looking for an honest and reliable installer who uses the highest quality of materials and workmanship do not look further! read more

We installed a solar system back in 2016 using Pedersen -Dean at the time who has since gone out of business. It has worked great, but we added an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and plan to get a electric car in the future, so we needed to add more power. We found a list of authorized Enphase solar companies and I started to interview companies. Most of the other companies seemed to have sales people that didn't know what they were talking about or tried to get me to upgrade the entire system which was totally unnecessary. Meo Nguyen was great to work with on the upgrade. He listened to what I needed and designed an upgrade that worked for our home. Another employee David Pitt came out and did a thorough inspection of our system to make sure we didn't have any gotchas. Meo and David kept me informed on the schedule and completed the project in one day. Awesome quality job and I have already recommended them to a friend who also have a PD installed system looking at adding to their system too. They wore masks and followed pandemic protocols while they were on our property. I will use them again if I have any other solar projects. read more

Meo and his team is great. The installation was very professional and looks great. The system has been producing for two weeks and we are very happy. read more

Meo, Dave and the team at AHS did a phenomenal job. I HIGHLY recommend them for all solar work. We had a tricky sloped and shaded roof, but Meo and his team designed and installed a system that was PERFECT for our home. They were always quick to respond and always extremely knowledgeable and professional. The whole process from quote, to install, to permitting was a breeze. I would give this group at least 6 stars if I could!! read more

Meo and his crew installed a perfectly sized and oriented solar PV system in two days that has exceeded my expectations. Service was 5* and his pricing was very competitive, covering all costs from site survey to city inspection. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

Installation couldn't have gone smoother. Our electrician (who is also a Tesla sub-contractor) recommended we work with Meo at Affordable Home Solar because of the great customer service and quick turnaround time. After a panel upgrade, Meo was able to get our permits, panels installed, inspected, and PGE approved within weeks. From the very beginning/design process, Meo guided us through the various panel brand options and micro-inverter choices while being very clear on the pros/cons, bang for your buck, etc.... He took care of all the permit paperwork and his crew installed 24 panels in less than a day while setting up all the online/app solar monitoring software. With lots of experience and customers in the Bay Area, he knew exactly what our city inspectors were looking for. The inspections were flawless - they were in and out in 10-15 min. Meo submitted our paperwork to pge and within a week our net metering started to show on our pge account. Most importantly, Meo and his team are just great people to work with, always responsive, and very professional. They stand behind their work and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone interested in installing solar. read more

After upgrading my electrical panel I used Affordable Home Solar to install 8+ KW solar panel setup. Communications/responses to emails was not always the quickest but adequate and I would say overall the company provides great value. They came on scheduled date and finished the job on time. The company took care of the interconnection with PGE without any problems. I did have one problem with the mobile monitoring app where the array was not mapped but that was quickly resolved and would definitely recommend for anyone looking for solar read more

It was a great experience to have AHS working on my house's solar project. Meo and his team did a neat and efficient job. Price: I quote more than 3 contractors in south Bay area, and AHS is the one provides the best cost efficient service. Communication: Meo was quite responsive to emails and texts. Typically it will not take more than 6 hours to get a response. Logistics: From the initial quote to signing a contract, from onsite installation to final inspection, I can always rely on AHS to inquiries and progress checking. They would provide detailed information on how they planned the project and meanwhile fully discuss with solar owner to make necessary adjustments. read more

Meo was very helpful throughout the process, from the initial advice and consultation to after install and activation with PG&E and my Enphase account. His team was fast and the system was fully operational shortly after lunchtime. Everything went smoothly with the permitting process as well. I choose Affordable Home Solar after receiving quotes from Tesla and another local installer. They were the middle of the two quotes. Meo's recommendations maxed out the system I could get with my electrical panel, and recommended a new panel if I wanted to expand in the future. His quote also had microinverters for easier expansion, and the other local quote did not. Tesla was the cheapest by kw, but the "small" system was smaller than I wanted and the "medium" system was bigger than I could install with my current electrical panel. In the end, I went with Meo and Affordable Home Solar and I'm happy with the decision. read more

I had a great experience with Meo/AHS installing my array back in early 2018. He helped me design the system, handled install, permitting, inspection etc. His pricing was substantially better than the larger, more established local competitors. The system has been running for 15 months now and it has performed to expectations. There have been no component failures or any issues. Realtime online monitoring through solaredge's application is quite good; it also allows you to report on generation over time so you can identify losses due to shading, or other system issues, etc. read more

Loved that Meo and his crew always wore a mask and were conscientious about safety and health during Covid! Working with Meo at Affordable Home Solar was a great, smooth experience. I called him, and he had no sales pitch, or mandatory appointment with a sales consultant. He provided a fair, balanced, informative, and customized assessment, and a very reasonable quote. I really appreciated knowing who I was working with from start to finish, and he warrants his work. Also, Meo did not try to sell me a system too big for what I needed, and he worked with me on and helped me to select a brand and solution properly sized for my needs. I saw from another post that Meo teaches classes in solar installs; he has true expertise and passion! I trusted Meo from start to finish and he and his crew at AHS did not disappoint! I highly recommend him and his team if you have a solar project. He has a small, expert team and he himself helps with the install, which I liked. I did not want to work with a big company where it is hit or miss in terms of end-user experience with installers etc. Those might have been fine, but for me, knowing who I was working with, and having Meo available any time I had a question, were all positives. Also, Meo does the paper work for PG&E, another plus! Meo was reliable (showing up at all appointments on time or early!), and working with him was no hassle and he got the job done very well. The conduit metal holding the wires is good quality and professionally installed, and he even painted exposed conduit on the roof so that it more closely matches the dark roof color. That's great attention to detail I appreciate. Also, he figured out the most efficient and aesthetic way to wire the panels. I wanted a good looking install, and symmetrical: he understood and delivered on aesthetics too, from selection of panel type and size, to placement on the roof. Also, he helped me get set up with the wireless tracking app so I can check the system's output every day. I am happy with the process and final system. He said he would install in about 5 weeks and he did!! Biggest slowdown in the process was Oakland city for the permit approval and final inspection. But Meo took care of all the interaction with the city. Also, I did some research and decided I wanted a specific high-end brand. He quoted me for my choice but he also pointed out an alternative which I ended up going with. He knows the brands and will work with you for a great solution for your circumstance. read more

We were building our dream home and solar was one of the items on our wish list. With the cost of construction mounting, it was really important to find a system that could deliver our desired power requirements without totally breaking the budget. We had quotes from two other vendors but nothing was hitting our price point until we got one from Meo of Affordable Home Solar. The systems he presented were from reputable manufacturers so we weren't concerned about the quality of the systems under consideration. The entire experience was pretty easy once we made our final decision. Meo took care of the design and permitting, and once we were ready for the panels to go up, he was able to schedule us in right away. Overall, we haven't been disappointed in our decision to install solar in our new home. We've been up and running for 6+ months now and we enjoy having a nominal PG&E electric bill every month, even with the heavy usage during the holidays and weekends. I highly recommend Meo of Affordable Home Solar. Definitely include him in your comparison shopping! read more

Excellent experience with Affordable Home Solar. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They guided me through every step of the way and were very reliable. read more

Meo and his AHS team did a quick and quality job installing solar panels on my house. The panels are top notch and the price was very fair compared to similar quality panels. Meo and 2 other guys worked to install the solar panels on my house and they were great. Very professional and courteous, and they rolled with my toddler and dog getting in the way when getting on/off tall ladder. read more

We just had solar panels installed by Meo. Very easy to work with and lowest price out of 3-4 quotes I think. I had concerns with how the conduit would look on the roof since we preferred not to have it run inside our attic and Meo made sure it was barely visible. We love our panels and how they look. Super easy to work with, super hard working and nice guys. read more

I did my research on home solar for awhile in the end it was between Affordable Solar and a bigger company. Meo (owner of Affordable Solar) doing the install itself sold me. He was very knowledgeable and has excellent workmanship. He gave me a fair price too. The install finished within in half a day. But the best part is Meo's customer service. He is just a txt/phone call away if there's any issues. I will not hesitate to recommend Affordable Home Solar to any of my friends or family for their solar needs. read more

We hired this company to install our solar panels in October 2017. We have gotten the benefits of solar energy for our house and and EV. Meo was great installing our solar panels and system. And he was quick and thorough. No delays what so ever. He would not over sold us what we do not need. No lengthy sale presentation like many vendors which can take up to 3 hours and still very confusing. He is very knowledgeable focusing on the critical stuffs that we need in order to make the right decision to hire him. We highly recommend this company to install solar panels. read more

Meo is fantastic! His prices were fair, he was always on time, set expectations correctly, and he and his crew did a thorough job while installing the panels. I would highly recommend his services. Solar City was difficult to work with. They quoted high prices initially and I had to work on them to get the price down that cost me a lot of time. Finally, they refused to do the job as we have metal shingles. Sunrun was a disaster; they quoted extremely high unit prices and configured an oversized system. Meo on the other hand clearly explained why we needed the size he recommended and quoted a fair per Watt price right from the get-go, making it much nicer to work with him. read more
