Chase and his Alltech team removed old p.v. system and installed rooftop panisonic panels w microinverters in 2020. price was competitive -- best of 3 bids. very clean job, Chase responded to questions promptly, system worked as expected and still working well 6yrs later. read more

Very honest and fair, and very good at making the repair and knowledgeable about the whole process and SolarEdge inverter. Great service at a great price. Highly recommended. Lost my solar installer call Alltech Solar to the rescue and for a great price made the repair and solar up and running full strength once again. Will use anytime my solar messes up. Fast read more

Absolutely fantastic work! Chase (the owner) and his team were always on time, finished the work on schedule, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and did clean, high-quality work. I did a ton of research prior to picking a solar company and am so glad we decided to go with All Tech. Call them now--or, if you're like me, keep reading so you can hear how our system worked PERFECTLY in an SDGE power/grid shutoff. We are in Ramona and about 2 months after All Tech finished the work, SDGE shut off the power in Ramona for 3 days. Talk about awesome timing. We were NEVER without power!! We didn't even know SDGE shut off the power! The neighbors wondered why our houselights were still on when everyone else's on the street shut off. Had I not received their texts, I wouldn't have known the grid was down. Someone even wanted to come over and finish their laundry, haha! As expected/promised, the batteries charged 100% during the day (even when we didn't see the sun all day - cloudy) and kept us running overnight without any issues, while the sun (solar panels) powered us during the day. Many of our neighbors were running generators but had to leave their doors/windows open when it was super cold out just to power their fridge/freezers, etc... The install was impeccably timed, but the best part is the system worked as promised. Chase even texted me the day they shut off power to see if everything was working ok!! Talk about stellar customer support!! If you need solar, batteries, or anything else All Tech can do, they truly value their customers and do amazing work. Look no further, call them and get it booked today!! Phenomenal work, products, and customer support - these guys are the best! read more

Alltech Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

"We recently had an issue with our solar gateway not reporting. After troubleshooting with tech support over the phone, they decided to send a replacement gateway board. We contacted Alltech Solar, and they told us to call as soon as the part arrived so they could send a technician to replace it. The day after the part arrived, I called Chase. A technician showed up promptly, replaced the board, and got our system back up and running immediately. The service was professional and efficient. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you, Alltech Solar!" read more

This is a response to Chase C. Business Owner of AllTech Solar for his comments on October 2, 2024. First of all, you lied when you said that I placed restraints on the placement of my panels. I know nothing about the best placement of solar panels for the generation of the most electricity and totally relied on your expert(s) for placement. Your expert(s) told me that placement of the 10 panel array where it presently sits was the best and your one and only recommendation for this 10 panel array. Of course I approved it because I relied on your supposed expertise about which, sadly, I was mistaken. It is very specious of you to say that I, who know nothing about solar or the best placement of arrays, overruled the experts. If you had told me that the best placement was over the garage, I assuredly would have said OK. I never refused to allow you to place any solar panels on the garage or anywhere else for that matter. It is impossible for you to provide any substantive or reasonable explanation as to why I wouldn't want the panels on the garage as the entire roof, including the garage had been replaced, not repaired, just one year previous to your installation so panel placement was without constraints anywhere on my roof including my garage. And, of course, stating that I wanted the panels out of view and that's why I did not want them on the garage is totally untrue and ridiculous on its face value. Someone would have to be at least 10 feet tall to see any solar panels placed on the garage roof. Why would I even care if they were visible? I don't even live there!! The house has been rented out for 25 years. For almost $25,000 I would certainly want the most electricity generated for my money. Seriously! Why on this earth would I not want the panels to be visible? Putting in solar panels is a sign that you care about the environment and are doing your best to mitigate CO2 emissions. It certainly can only paint you in a good light. Add to this the fact that I don't live there but also did it to ease the financial strain on my tenants, (most everyone in the neighborhood knows I have rented this house out for 25 years) how could anyone not believe I was being a good person as well as a good steward of the environment? Would this be something I wanted to hide? Of course not. Just ridiculous. Let me define malfeasance for you. "The doing of an act which a person ought not to do; evil conduct;" You should have refused to place my panels where you did even if it meant losing my business if you were a moral businessman with a conscience. You admit in your letter that you knew that my 10 panel array would produce less energy than if they were placed on the garage. While you called it slightly less, "Due to the shade those panels produce slightly less than the others" I have proof that the "less" ranges from 20% to almost 50%. I don't know any reasonable person who would call that slightly less. Have you forgotten that Enphase Energy, the manufacturers of the solar micro-inverters agreed with me, in writing, that the 10 panel array was assuredly underperforming? But you didn't care. In the end you said, who cares about Malcolm. I ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING HIS MONEY. As to my 5 star review, that was a review before you had my money and my signature on the paperwork. Naturally, you were being extremely professional prior to the actual installation because you wanted my money. Sadly, after I signed the legally binding paperwork to pay for the solar panel installation you lost incentive to do right by me. I offered you many opportunities and compromises to have you move the panels to the garage but you were 100% intransigent and refused to meet me in the middle or anywhere else for that matter. It was your way or the highway. This is not good business as satisfied customers are your greatest resource. As someone who used to own his own business, there were occasional times when I bit the bullet, took a loss and made the customer satisfied because word of mouth is paramount to a successful business. If you save a few thousand dollars by not making the customer feel satisfied, then you risk losing many more thousands of dollars in lost business. If my review cost you just one customer, we both know that this meant a larger financial loss to you when compared to the loss you would have suffered had you just moved my panels in the name of good will and customer satisfaction. So it doesn't make financial sense for how you dealt with me. The fact that it took you 2 years to respond to my review is unconscionable as I posted my review in September of 2022 and you decided to reply 2 years later. Talk about horrible customer service. Lastly, I am still open to a reasonable compromise on your moving the panels to the garage. read more

Unfortunately, once you use a solar company you're stuck dealing with them wether you want to or not. Alltech refused to consider additional service due to my previous negative review. So to add injury to insult this company not only refused to address first complaint, I now have to find another solar company to address additional solar needs. Alltech customer service is deplorable. read more

Alltech Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

I had a great experience with Alltech Solar! They drove 3 1/2 hours to the California desert to install my panels and Tesla battery on one of the hottest days of the year. With a team of several guys they got it done quickly. When SCE needed something changed out (to meet their criteria) they were back within the week to get it done and we were up and running. Also got a follow-up call a few weeks later to see how everything was going. That's what I call taking care of your customers! read more

I have used Chase and his team twice now for solar and battery installations. They are knowledgeable and take full responsibility for every aspect of the job. I plan on using them in the future. read more

Alltech Solar - Clean install. - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

Ken spent a good amount of time on the phone educating me on all the various nuances of SDGE and solar/EV/Jacuzzi use. I've been overwhelmed with SDGE solar billing, and called to inquire about adding additional panels. Ken went above and beyond to guide me without trying to "sell" me once he understood my situation. This kind of honesty and customer service is almost impossible to find these days. I am grateful for the guidance and care, and highly recommend AllTech Solar. read more

My advice - DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ALLTECH SOLAR! They are a highly unprofessional establishment that doesn't understand the concept of basic manners and customer service; and thinks that doing business means disappearing right after getting paid, bullying and intimidating customers. As soon as they first showed up to install the panels and took the first deposit, our bad experiences began: They drilled holes right into the front wall of our house (next to the front door) to install the ugly electric box with all the pipes and tubes going to and from it. We were not aware of this set up and when we politely inquired about it, Chase (the owner) immediately started pointing fingers at us and blaming us for not bringing it up beforehand. I am not quite sure how you bring something up in advance if you don't even know about it. Having a huge and ugly thing installed by your front door is pretty significant and worth at least mentioning to the property owners. That's what we would expect but didn't want to have a big argument about that and instead wanted to have a constructive discussion about other available options, to see if the box could be installed elsewhere in a more conspicuous location. In response, the contractor just called the layout of our house 'weird' and said it was the only place for the box. Since he is supposed to be an expert, we went with that recommendation. Thinking about it now, maybe we should get an expert opinion from a third party to confirm this assessment, to make sure the contractor did not simply say that to avoid the responsibility of cleaning up the mess and redoing the work (we will be looking into that). Shortly after the installation was complete, we discovered that one of the panels was malfunctioning. When we notified the contractor, they were extremely unresponsive and slow, until they finally disappeared and stopped responding to our emails and calls. It's been 4.5 months now since we reported the issue and there is still no resolution and no time estimate. My husband left them a negative Yelp review, after which the owner started threatening us and said our claim is now on hold until the review is taken down. To top it all off, their demeanor is very unprofessional. Every time they come in, they break or uproot plants in our patio. We understand that things happen, but in a civilized world, you let property owners know. And they come across as very impolite, almost angry looking, as if you stole $15,000 from them. Chase might not understand that but not everything in this world is about money and material benefits. They will probably keep intimidating us and keep refusing to honor the transaction. They will most likely not assist us with submitting the manufacturer's warranty claim and make us jump through all those hoops (looks like it's part of their bullying tactic). We still have to do what's right. The Yelp review is not going down. We will actually keep updating our review with any new information and helpful tips to help other customers in a similar situation. We will also leave a review on Google and any other pertinent platforms. We will probably work with the manufacturer warranty provider directly. If they deny for any reason, we will have to go after Alltech Solar. We are also submitting our contract to our attorney today for review to see what our options are. We will explore all and any options available to us. There are legal options. There are also professional trade options, like the Contractors State License Board, etc... etc... While going through that process, we will keep updating our reviews. We are also happy to assist other mistreated customers in any way we can, with anything we've learned along the way (feel free to direct message us). read more

I had an excellent experience with Alltech Solar! If you are looking for a local, family-owned solar installer, I highly recommend this company. They install top-of-the-line solar panels, micro inverters, and offer a full turnkey installation. Julian was a very knowledgeable, responsive, and low-pressure salesman. He was able to answer all of my technical and non-technical questions. Further, his answers lined up with my own research on solar panels, micro-inverters, and installation scenarios. It was refreshing working with a salesman that was extremely passionate about and had a detailed understanding of the products he was selling. It was clear that he stays on top of the latest solar regulations, market trends, and technology. Chase is the business owner and lead installer. He was professional, courteous, and easy to work with. Chase himself took the final measurements of our roof for the panel layout. He also did the wiring for the solar system on the day of the install. Given he is actively involved with the installation of the systems, I found that his response times could be slightly delayed. However, given he is running a small business and is also out in the field, I thought it was all within reason. The installation itself went smoothly and the finished product looks and works great! read more

Alltech Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

I was deceived by AllTech Solar after a negotiated agreement with the sales representative, Ken Ehrle. I was told my project was ready to be scheduled, AllTech took my deposit, and the company failed to respond to my messages. They failed to acquire the proper permits, and even seem to not know what permits are required. I requested a refund of my money they collected and after a week and half got a flimsy reply which confirmed their lack of knowledge in the industry. They sent a weak memo and claimed to have permit expenses equal to my payment, which the city confirmed no payments were made by AllTech, no required permit application with SDG&E. Save yourself, aggravation and time and do not use AllTech Solar. read more

If you value communication, don't go with Alltech. They have clearly taken on way more than they can handle and are overbooked and overcapacity. I understand the desire as a business to bite off more than you can chew, but the result was significantly delayed timelines, poor communication, and a lack of transparency. If you're not in a rush, then they are OK. I will echo another negative review and say that once they've gotten you to sign they'll disappear and it's up to you to keep tabs on them. read more

We purchased a new home in Carmel Valley in March of 2022 and knew we wanted solar panels installed. We ask friends and neighbors, and had seen several different vendor trucks in the neighborhood, but one recommendation stood out: Alltech Solar. We contacted them first and were very impressed with their demonstrated knowledge of the industry, the products, the implications of net metering and the various manufacturers and design / solution options. Their first proposal, informed by our (maximalist) needs, was spot on and we moved forward, getting in a 7 ti 9 week queue. Their design, permitting, county / city approvals, inspections and installation processes were flawless, transparent and highly professional. It was a joy to watch their crew work -- these folks have clearly done this hundreds of times before, and were only getting better. We were up and running, with permission to operate by SDGE right on schedule with a hookup for a new electric car and "free" electricity for life. The family business is well run, has great, skilled and dedicated employees, and charges a fair price. A major manufacturer tried to temp us with a lower price and faster availability, but the lower price was really for a less robust design, and i was the fact that neighbors had been happy with Alltech from start to finish on their projects meant we were never tempted. I have them my highest possible recommendation -- peace of mind, top of the line products, full warrantees and (most importantly) people who really know their business. Why do it any other way? thanks, Chase, Ken and the entire crew! read more

Alltech Solar - main banks of panels -- we went for maximum and had a few additional panels in other lcoations. - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

From start to finish All Tech Solar went above and beyond to get us Solar in timely manner. Chase and Julian were crystal clear in all the details in getting us enough panels for our present and future needs, and did a great job in finalizing the details to get funded. They truly are the best Solar Company in San Diego. Don't look any further!! read more

Alltech Solar - Solar from the sky - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

We had Panasonic solar panels installed a few months ago, and Alltech Solar was quick and efficient throughout the whole process. We were provided a quote quickly, and the price was very reasonable. We mostly communicated with Ken and he was knowledgeable and responsive. The permit process took awhile but everything besides that went smoothly, including the actual installation and passing the city inspection. The only thing is I sensed impatience sometimes from the team when we asked questions which made the experience a bit stressful. But overall we had a good experience with Alltech Solar. read more

It's almost two years since we've had Alltech Solar installed our solar panels. I meant to write my review earlier but kept forgetting but I'm finally writing it. I've only written a couple of reviews because I'm a reader more than a writer and it has to be something I strongly care about to compel me to write. We had spoken to three solar companies prior to Alltech and signed with a different company but when we examined their fine print in the contract we were not pleased with one of their terms and asked them to change it but they refused so we then called Alltech Solar. They worked with us on the contract as well as matching our price with the other solar company. We chose LG panels and the process went as smoothly as Chase and his team had indicated. We also had Alltech install 240amp 50amp circuit for future EV charging and earlier this year we purchased an EV and the circuit has worked brilliantly. It's been almost two years now and our solar panels have performed to our expectation. Whenever we had a question for Chase, he had responded timely. We have referred Alltech to our neighbors and hopefully they will consider Alltech for their solar needs. read more

5 star review for the Alltech Solar team from beginning to end. Great work with the initial quote and answering all the 101 Solar questions. I went with Alltech based on a recommendation of a friend who was very pleased with his installation with Alltech as well as their great quote in comparison to other local solar companies. The project included upgrading and relocating the power panel, working with SDGE, installing the panels and getting the projects approved by the city inspector. All parts of the project went incredibly smoothly and the Alltech installation team were friendly, professional, efficient and hardworking. I am very happy with the project in all respects and only wish I had done it sooner. Highly recommend for anyone considering solar, particularly with SDGE electric rates continuing to be more and more expensive. A++++++!! read more

I recently had Alltech Solar install a 23 panel solar system on my La Mesa home and I could not be any happier. I also had them replace my roof through a subcontractor that they work with and am also very impressed with the work that they did. I was told when I signed the contract that they were quite backed up so I did have wait a few months but I understood that going in and I feel that it was worth the wait. I highly recommend Alltech Solar. read more

Agree with previous Yelp reviewers, Alltech Solar is A+. In a sea of choices for an important investment, Alltech is a no brainer in the San Diego area. Personal touch of a family run business that sounds out: Excellent customer service & consult, recommend the best hardware for your individual needs, stand by their work - quality installation. Julian (sales) was knowledgeable, transparent, patient, and gave me a great education on solar. Chase (owner & operations lead) is a stand-up guy, hard worker, and treats his employees with respect. We installed 26 panels with Enphase micro-inverters. The system was installed perfectly. Look no further than Alltech Solar. read more

I originally signed with another company but really didn't feel good about the high pressure sales tactics and the "20% discount" I was supposedly receiving after the sales guy got his manager on the phone. Ken is a straight shooter and gave me a quote that was less than the other guys and he really explained to me what was going on in the industry with the NEM changes. I ended up canceling with the other company and going with Alltech. I'm glad I did. read more

Alltech is honest, friendly and reliable. They answered my calls and advised me based on my best interests, even when it didn't benefit them. A+++ read more

Alltech is awesome! When I wasn't getting the SDG&E savings that I had been expecting from my solar panels, I thought maybe they needed a maintenance check. I looked on Yelp and Alltech by far stood out as a reliable company with its multiple 5-star reviews. Chase came out to do a system check on my array (which had been installed by a different company) and he was horrified to find that the reason my electric bill was still so high was that the other installation company had never switched on my panels!!!!! I honestly think he was more upset than I was about it. Chase went into action hero mode and immediately called Enphase, setting up my account for me and staying on the phone with them until he was able to ensure the system was up and running. But merely "up and running" wasn't good enough for Chase's high level of customer care. A few weeks later, he contacted me to say that he had been following up to make sure my system was fully operational but noticed that one of the panels wasn't responding. Yelpers, not only did Chase tell me that he would like to come by and replace the panel, but he didn't even charge me because he was still so disappointed in the way the other company had treated me. Mind blown! Heart full! Panels cookin'! If my experience with Alltech doesn't convince you that this is the company to choose for all your solar needs, I don't know "watt" will. read more

From the initial contact through Yelp (which led to a virtual meeting with Julian), through solar installation, this has been a very pleasant experience. I contacted several solar companies and received quotes for different solar panel options. I did my own research into the different options, but also consulted Julian with several questions. He was the most knowledgeable solar person I spoke with, and was very patient explaining everything--not selling Alltech's plan for my solar, but helping me understand the differences. The quote I received from Alltech, was the lowest for the type and size of solar system I eventually decided I wanted. Once the decision was made and paperwork was virtually signed, Chase came to confirm the roof size and panel placement. A few days later, I received the official documents for review and signature, so the building permits could be processed. I had to get approval from my HOA in order to proceed, but as soon as that was received (which happened to be the same day as city permits were received), the installation was scheduled for the next week. Chase arrived, as scheduled, with his crew, and installation was completed in a few hours. I had concerns about how my electric panel was left, but after expressing my anxiety was told that Steven (Alltech's Inspection Tech) would be there the next day to finish the planned electrical work, set up the Enphase WiFi information, paint the electrical conduits (which I had no idea they would do!), and meet with the City Inspector. Steven arrived as scheduled, adjusted the electric panel as needed, and removed a gutter spout to take to Home Depot to match the color for painting the electrical conduits. He returned to wait (in his truck) for the City Inspector to arrive. After the inspector left, Steven painted the conduits, and explained that everything was ready for SDG&E to tell us we could flip the switch. A few days later, Julian and Chase arrived when told we could turn on the solar system. They've offered, when I receive my first SDG&E "bill", to walk me through what the provided information represents (if needed). I still have not received that information from SDG&E, but this review was long overdue. If you want the best solar installation experience you can get, I highly recommend Alltech Solar. Julian, Chase, and Steven, were all very knowledgeable, patient, respectful, prompt, and courteous. BTW, this is only the second review I have given since joining Yelp in 2013, so my praise is not easily earned, unless a company goes way above and beyond! read more

After getting bids from 5 other companies, we ultimately chose Alltech for their transparency, reputation, and quick turnaround time. We were able to get our 14 panel system up and running in about 2 months from the time we signed the contract! For us, the roof work took about 3 days and solar installation was 1 day. The end-to-end experience was smooth. Ken, Chase, and Pam made the process very easy and communication was good throughout. I also appreciated Ken's patience in answering all of our questions and taking the time to drop by and meet in person when installation was happening. Would highly recommend Alltech! read more

Alltech Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

I spent a few weeks researching solar and am so glad I chose Alltech for my installation. Not only do they have the best workmanship warranty in the business they also sell some of the best panels with the lowest degradation of any other company I spoke with. The sales process with Julian was no pressure and extremely informative.. He was happy to communicate via text and respected my budget and timeline. When I signed the contract, they took care of everything! They kept me informed of what was happening and before I knew it we were ready for the install. Chase and his crew were on time and extremely professional for the 2 days it took to install all 37 panels. I couldn't be happier. Give these guys a shot if you're looking for solar. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had Alltech install a 3.8 KW system at end of September of 2022, and it's been working great. I have an unusual open beam roof, and Chase from Alltech readily told me how he could install the solar panels. In contrast, about 5 years ago Solar City said they could not install solar on our roof because of the unusual construction. Over the next couple years I got quotes from other other Solar companies, but they only sent out salespeople to give me a quote. I was not able to get a response from anyone in these companies as to how they would install the panels or if it was possible. Finally, I found Alltech and I am extremely happy with the system they installed. I highly recommend Alltech. read more

What can I say. It is a Zen question. If there is no response to efforts at communication ..is that bad service? Their outgoing phone message says they are getting too many spam calls, so please write or text. That's what I did, several times over a couple of weeks. No response, no simple message "we are very busy currently, and will try to get back asap". Or we are not taking system add on jobs right now...just something. Nothing...off to the void. read more

Cyrus and the team at Alltech are worth the five star reviews they receive. We purchased a home recently with an antiquated solar panel system included. Cyrus not only inspected it for us, but helped us get it squared away so we could see the power it generates. We needed 15 additional panels to generate more than enough to cover or electricity usage, and we are very happy we worked with Cyrus and Alltech. They also did a great job upgrading our electrical panel, which was close to being maxed out based on our homes energy usage, and that was also done at a reasonable price. The guidance provided, level of professionalism and communicativeness throughout the process was second to none. When we replace the old part of our homes solar system we will definitely work with Alltech again. read more

The price for the installation was the best quote we got and service was excellent, it took a little time to get our referral reward but it was worth the wait. The key here is to communicate with them if an issue arise and it will be resolved quick with the company's years of experience. read more

Chase and his crew from Alltech Solar did an excellent job installing my Panasonic solar system here at Carmel Valley and I am very happy with it. We had some rain already and there doesn't seem to be any problem with of leaking. Also the system is producing the power that was estimated. Before installing, I mentioned to them that the house was build to be solar ready and I wanted no pipes outside of the house walls, so they worked their magic and fished for all the conduits to make it happen... clean job site... passed first inspection... thank you guys. I definitely recommend them for solar. On a foot note: In my experience perfect 5 star reviews... imposible, with that said, I went through a lot of anxiety for a long time trying to decide which company to use based on reviews. Anyway, surely and shortly NEM 2.0 deadline came and it was time to make a decision. Looking back at the companies I had searched, this company gave me the least anxiety so I went with it. So far so good Good hunting read more

These guys made it easy for me to choose from different offers. Price was competitive, staff was awesome. It all got done with minimal effort on my part - very painless. Getting all the permits was what took long but it all happened in the background. Came back from work one day and it was done. I would recommend Alltech Solar wholeheartedly read more

I'd been looking to get rooftop solar for years but since my electric bill typically wasn't that high it never made sense. With prices coming down and the federal tax credit going to expire after 2021, I looked into it once more. After evaluating four installers and rather quickly dropping two from the list, it came down to Alltech Solar and another. Ultimately I picked Alltech and was quite happy with the experience. During the sales process, I talked with Ken and found him to be very knowledgeable and easy to speak with. He answered all my questions, even over email, and waited patiently for me to work through the vendor evaluation process. I never got the sense of being rushed or pushed into anything. All Ken needed was some basic info about your electrical usage, like from the SDG&E bill, and he provides a clear write up of the recommended system size and panel layout. Once the layout was created and city permit obtained, the installation was all done in less than a day. Chase, the project manager was easy to work with and his installation crew was courteous and cleaned up quickly. They only needed to cut the power for a short time and for only part of the house so it didn't disrupt my working from home. (There was a bit of noise from the installation of hardware on the roof and along the wall but that was expected as they'd be working directly over my home-office.) Once they're done, your system's power generation data is sent to Enphase, the maker of the inverters and load center where all the power consolidates to. They have nice apps for your phones to track energy production and a website to see the same thing if you don't want to install more apps. Overall it was a really good experience with Alltech. read more

Alltech Solar - 11 Panasonic panels. - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

Alltech Solar lived up to their reviews. I could not be happier with their customer service level. Best in class for sure. Now, the process involved in getting solar can be long and tedious. In our case, like many, it involved several different parties: Alltech Solar Us Our Bank Our HOA SDGE The City of San Diego You can imagine with all those parties in the mix, how easy it could be for someone to drop the ball. What I really appreciated was how on top of it Cyrus and Chase were on everything that was in their control. Cyrus was able to give me an initial proposal after just a quick phone conversation. He set up an on-site visit 2 days later. He sent us an updated proposal just 3 days after the on-site visit. He even helped us answer the questions our HOA had. He completed blue prints in less than 2 weeks. Once we approved them, he applied for a permit from the city. The city permit took about 6 weeks. That was probably the longest part of the process, but totally out of their control. Chase and Cy were great responding to my many status inquiring emails in those weeks. Once we were approved, they scheduled the roofers to come out just 3 days later on a Wednesday, and the roofers were done with the roof by that Friday. Alltech installed the actual panels the following week in less than 2 days. They got the City Inspector to come out just 2 days after that. We passed inspection that day and Chase submitted our net metering application to SDGE that Friday. One week later, SDGE turned on our system. The whole process took about 3.5 months and most of that was our HOA, our bank approving our loan, and the City approval process (5 weeks for our HOA and 6 weeks for the City). I can't say enough great things about Chase and Cy. They are super responsive, quick to answer my questions, had a crew that really seemed to know what they were doing, and were just really pleasant to work with. They set us up with an app to track our solar panels, filed for our warranty for the panels, and gave us a nice binder with reference material for the system. I highly recommend them. read more

Ken Ehrle did a fantastic job explaining all elements of solar installation. Had couple back and forth on project scope. But the company did a seamless, job of applying permits to installation. Process was super smooth and well planned. Will recommend and use again. read more

I found Julian while I was researching solar panels for my parent's home in Hawaii. His YouTube video showed the depth of his understanding in the intricacies in solar panels. Although I'm not in California I reached out to him and even in his busy schedule he took time to reply to me. He gave me a better idea of what values I should look for in a solar company. And he even helped to break down the details of the panels I was debating on. So grateful for Julian's solid guidance and beautiful Aloha spirit in helping out families from all corners. Totally encourage those who are new to solar or wish to expand on this topic to check out his YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCipZL2P8gh74L0_L7oBVObw read more
