    Our experience working with Ambrose had nothing but great. We have enough roadblocks in our install from permitting to design but Ambrose team was diligent, persistent and highly communicative. The messaging service that Ambrose uses has kept us apprised of all the updates. Even post install- Ambrose has been answering our questions about usage in detail and are fully supportive. I recommend Ambrose to anyone looking for a midsize solar company to do the work for you.

    We recently worked with Citadel Roofing & Solar on a solar panel and battery installation and had a…read moregreat experience. From the first conversation through final commissioning, the team was professional, communicative, and consultative. Chris in sales was our main point of contact throughout and did an excellent job educating us on our options, setting expectations, and keeping us informed. Once the project kicked off, Ashley, our project manager, was fantastic at guiding us through each step, coordinating scheduling, and making sure all the moving parts stayed aligned. We were on a tight timeline and she made sure the project kept pace and finished on schedule. Installation was smooth and the technicians took the time to show us the system and answer every question so we felt confident using it. Overall, we were very impressed with sales, project management, and the field team. We would definitely recommend Citadel Roofing & Solar to anyone considering a solar system.

    I had my solar panels and power wall battery installed around March 2025. Sometime around September…read more2025 when I checked my Tesla app, it was grayed out my power wall was off-line. I contacted Citadel and let me tell you it's been going on almost 6 months and they still have not resolved the issue. I actually had to reach out to Tesla directly for them to confirm that I'm not crazy. It's not a Wi-Fi issue. There was a ground fault error. I relayed this information to Leslie and her supervisor Bernice. They sent a technician out to check on my battery who also contacted Tesla. You would've think the next time they sent a technician out it would be to go on top of my roof and check all the wiring but instead the same technician came out and again checked the battery and contacting Tesla. Then I was informed they would need two technicians to come out and go on top of the roof and lift all the panels checking all the wires to find where the exact issue is. Obviously, I knew that so I was confused as to why this technician was here a second time only looking at the battery. Weeks later, they sent two technicians out today, January 27, 2026. They go on my roof and they did find an issue in one of the lines however they could not complete their job because they didn't have an MCI. They also didn't have the time to lift all my panels since it's late in the day. All of this should've been noted in their system so that their technicians would have been informed on what was needed. This issue has been dragged out for months. It's now only being "escalated" --because who knows if they're really going to do anything to speed things up and get together and fix all the problems. These things aren't cheap. It's an investment. You would think they would do better when there's so many other solar companies. Go somewhere else. Not worth the headache. I hope the owner sees this review and something actually gets done. I shouldn't have to post a negative review or ask for things to be escalated.

    I first reached out to Diablo in 2020. I was solar-curious, but I determined at the time that it…read morewasn't what I needed. This year (2024) I decided that my electric bill was just too much, I was going to get solar eventually, and the longer I put it off the more it would cost me overall. I liked that they didn't harass me. Once some folks get your number they just wont stop calling. Diablo didn't bug me back in 2020 and they were not really trying the hard sale this time either. I called them, had a brief discussion about what I was looking for, and scheduled a visit. I didn't know much about solar installations, so I spoke with a friend who was familiar with these things. He told me what to look out for in terms of equipment. After I got the quote, the folks at Diablo were very helpful answering questions along these lines. Again just providing information, not trying to sell me. Diablo handled everything and scheduled a time to do the install. Overall it took about 3 days. Two days for most of the hardware and then a day about a week later to deal with the mess in my breaker box from some previous work done by another company. Then they handled everything with PG&E and about a month later everything was cleared on PG&Es end. This delay was due to PG&E processing paperwork. Overall it's working well. Just see the before and after photos below. Not of my roof but of my electric consumption. You can see some before and after values as well as how the system performed on a particularly hot day.

    Terrible service , this company must have been sold since we installed our solar in 2018…read more Was getting charge $200 just for a quote and when the day they were supposed to drive to the property , we told them ahead of time of how to get in and the code to the pool House , they wrote a report that they couldn't get in After speaking to the manager , they had to sent someone else out but don't know when that will be Very frustrating experience, seems like they don't communicate internally Ended up repairing with someone local in Sonoma county

    I was hoping my interactions with this business would be positive, but it was not. I spoke to Jeff…read moreand unfortunately he was unprofessional and discourteous. I provided the necessary information for my solar installation (including usage and current costs), but he was very combative when it came time to discuss my project. He refused to discuss a power purchase agreement, instead he tried to force an outright solar panel purchase, which I made clear was not an option. He offered no apology and no clear explanations about his actions. Free advice: if you are not interested in the job, just say so politely. Don't be rude, discourteous, and unprofessional.

    It is late September 2024. And we just saw our latest PG&E bill. YIKES!…read more We got a random door knocker that came by to inform us about solar. I had previously talked to SunRun via Costco and am pretty nerdy, so I had done some homework by now. The door knocker talked about solar and battery storage and gave us a quote. That quote would be better than SunRuns. In my research about that quote, I found several reddit posts about solar and specifically Tesla PowerWalls and their pros/cons and service. One thing that kept on popping up was that the actual battery and system is great, the service and parts can be more miss than hit. But there were these Ask Me Anything posts from a guy named Jeff. He provided great advice to everyone. People with general questions, to people with problems to people that had just about had it with Tesla support. What I took away from that was that Jeff was a great guy, very knowledgeable and very open to helping people, even if they were not his clients. This is the kind of person that I be if I were to run a business and someone that I would want to support. I looked on yelp and found Jeff and East Bay Power Systems. All of the reviews there were pretty emphatic about Jeff and EBPS. I called EBPS and promptly was given a quote. Their number was very fair. So now we're nearly at the end of November and we get another huge PG&E bill. Couple that with the new administration coming in and not knowing if the solar/storage incentives will go away after the new year, I call up Jeff again and not only is he able to source a PowerWall, while other companies said they are all out of stock, Jeff said that if I signed within the week, he would be able to have us installed before the end of the year. We promptly signed and the wait began... All of a sudden, the previously non existent rains started to fall and our install date was getting pushed out. I started to get nervous as I didn't know if we would actually get this installed in 2024 or not. I was anxious about the incentive and would call EBPS pretty regularly. 5 days before Christmas and there is finally a open window. The skies have mostly cleared and it was safe for their crew to be on a roof. The install crew lead by Eric show up on time, panels are delivered and the battery is on site. By mid day, they are almost done. If not for things that were out of their control, they would have been able to complete the whole job within the day. It took them 2. Still, very fast and very professional work. Eric is a top notch installer and lead. Come time for the permit inspection, there were very small things that the inspector found which is pretty typical; those were subsequently rectified and we got signed off. In the interim, there was a hardware issue with the PowerWall. And almost to a T, the interaction went just as I had read so many times over and over again on the various Reddit posts. EBPS came out and did some diagnosis but they were not able to fix the issue that day. It really was a PowerWall issue. So I was told by Tesla, after nearly an hour on hold that they would send a Tesla tech out to look at it, but it could be up to 3 months from now. I kept in touch with EBPS and they were able to secure another unit. In maybe a couple of weeks, they were back out. They removed the old PowerWall and installed a new one in a couple of hours. If it wasn't for EBPS, I would likely still be waiting for Tesla. Just as many of the reddit posts said, it really comes down to your local installer and their customer service and their ability to pull strings over at Tesla. It was at this time that I really was glad that I went with EBPS. Because I got the Tesla PowerWall and gateway, it would be very easy to also install a Tesla charger. I purchased a universal charger and I had EBPS install that as well. That went swimmingly. Other than a few communication issues, and the timing anxiety that was totally out of their control, this has been as all of the other 5 stars have lead me to expect. I would absolutely use EBPS in the future and would recommend them to my friends and neighbors.
