I hired SonoMarin Solar to remediate a solar installation that had been left with permitting and…read morecode-compliance issues by another contractor. The original solar work had been done in conjunction with a reroof, and by the time SonoMarin became involved, the project had become a complicated and stressful situation. The process took about six months from my first communication with SonoMarin to completion, in part because the original contractor's surety company was involved. Nick Paggi worked with the claims representative to explain the deficiencies and help resolve the issues. He was incredibly patient in providing updated estimates and documentation to satisfy the adjuster. Throughout the process, I appreciated that he was willing to take on a difficult remediation project and see it through. Nick was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Ayelet, the office manager, deserves a special mention as well. She talked me off the ledge on multiple occasions when the process became frustrating, and I really appreciated her patience, communication, and reassurance. Ray managed the onsite work and inspections and was also great to work with. He kept things moving and made sure the necessary work and inspections were handled properly. The crew deserves credit as well for working through some unsettled weather on installation day, including periods of light sprinkles, to get the job done. After the experience I had with the original contractor, working with a company that was knowledgeable, responsive, and actually followed through made a huge difference. SonoMarin took on a complicated situation that wasn't of their making and helped get everything resolved. I would definitely recommend SonoMarin Solar, particularly if you have an existing solar system that needs remediation, permitting, or to be brought up to code.

We had backup battery systems installed at two different homes--one in Napa and one in Marin--and…read morehad an excellent experience working with SonoMarin Solar on both. The original solar systems were installed years ago by SolarCraft and Ambrose. When it came time to add a backup battery in Napa, we chose SonoMarin first. That project went so smoothly that we later asked them to install a battery on our older, more complex Marin system as well. Despite the added complexity, they handled both installations efficiently and got everything up and running without drama. Ayelet in the office deserves special mention. She provides near-instant responses to texts and emails, keeps everything moving, and somehow manages to coordinate all the moving parts with ease. If you've ever dealt with solar projects, you know how valuable that is. She had seemingly infinite patience for my never-ending questions, handling them with professionalism and speed. She also helped me apply for relevant rebates and helped interface with the nightmare that is PG&E, making it all look easy. The whole team jumped through hoops to get the system in before the tax break expired. SonoMarin is a small company, localled owned and run by the same people I originally worked with at SolarCraft on our first install years ago, which really shows in the level of care and accountability. Avner and Nick have built a great company. Pricing was competitive--frankly, all three bids we received were in the same range--but the execution and communication set them apart. I would recommend SonoMarin without hesitation.

Update: I had them come out to install an outdoor outlet and fix a couple problems. They showed up…read moreon time and got the work done perfectly in one hour. 5-star experience. ----------------------- I contacted B. Henry's Quality Electric when my solar inverter needed replacement. Even though they didn't perform that work themselves, they referred me to one of their installers and, in the process, saved me money by bypassing the markup they could have charged. That level of honesty is pretty rare. They could easily have kept the work in-house or added a layer of profit, but instead they focused on what was best for me as the customer. They also followed up several times by email to make sure everything was going smoothly and that I was happy with the outcome. Great customer service and a company that clearly values long-term relationships over short-term profit. Highly recommended.

We have had B. Henry's out twice now and will be scheduling a third service in a couple of weeks! I…read morereally appreciate their professionalism when it comes to being upfront about costs. They gave us a sliding scale depending on labor for specific jobs. When they invoiced us, they included receipts for parts... this is something that we rarely see but it creates a sense of trust and honesty. There are no surprises. Our first job was a lesser, more simple, job-we had at few sockets replaced one of which was a very loose socket that we were concerned about arcing. The second job was more extensive as there were several "needs" in one day. They replaced overhead light fixtures (3 of them), replaced an old and VERY outdated (probably from when our house was built over 35 years ago!) smoke/fire alarm, and installed bedside wall mounted lights. They are GORGEOUS!! On their third visit soon, we will have heated flooring in our master bedroom installed. B. Henry's Quality Electric is the place to go for your electrical needs. The team is nothing but helpful, and professional. They are community oriented and are always there to help when you have an electrical need. It's nice to have an Electrician that you can trust especially when it gets to be overwhelming not knowing what needs to be fixed. We heard about them from word of mouth, and those people are ABSOLUTELY correct. Thank you Bill and your team... and we will see you again soon!

Before Simply Solar, I had been looking for nearly a year, and had gone through the estimate process with 6 different vendors (both local and national). It felt like I was dealing with the worst auto salesman. Slimy, expensive, impatient, unprofessional... it sucked. I found David Frank and Simply Solar on a local parent group discussion where basically *everyone* recommended them. I remained skeptical, but set up a call anyway. Best decision ever. They're not the very cheapest, but they're close. And the whole crew just made me feel at ease every step of the way. Shop around, but definitely include David and crew when getting quotes.

Update: After some back and forth with the COO of Simply Solar, he finally agreed to uphold the…read moreterms of our original contract and do the removal / reinstall at no cost, per the terms of the signed agreement. We have contacted them requesting a date to reinstall the panels, but have not heard back. Our roof was completed on 9/20, and we are now waiting for the reinstall date to be scheduled. As the timeline for our roof was known when we first requested the removal / reinstall, we are at a loss as to why we are having to wait 5-6 weeks to have the panels put back up on our roof. At this time, they sit stacked on our deck, with the rails piled off to the side. Thankfully we have space to accommodate all of the parts, (the rails are 30 feet long and a tripping hazard). We hope that the parts will not be damaged during the almost 2 months they will be sitting on the ground, assuming the work is done in the next 3 weeks. We still have not been told a date for the reinstall of the panels. This is now costing us money in lost solar energy.

Thank you to Dan Moran, our project manager, who was always available whenever I called with answers or solutions. Dan has a very calm demeanor and an easy flow in explaining different processes and how the system and the app work. I really appreciated Juan Carlos, our electrician. In addition to upgrading our panel, he had to do a couple of hole patches in our wood siding , which is out of his general scope of work , but did a nice job at it. Juan was very thorough and I appreciated his cleanup when he was done.There was no scraps of wire, electric tape, nothing left on the ground, which was very much appreciated. And as a side note, there are four houses on our street who have used Northern Pacific Power for their solar needs. Which I would think in itself, is a pretty good recommendation.

Five stars for the installation -- outstanding project manager and crew: responsive, punctual,…read moreprofessional, top-quality work. One star for the sales process. When we raised concerns, I believe the salesperson my partner dealt with wanted to make things right, but sales leadership stepped in, dismissed our concerns as unfounded, and offered nothing. Those concerns were (and still are): 1) Sketchy contract execution. NPP offers a 5-year prepaid lease in partnership with Balto Energy. It lets homeowners offset installation costs because the leasing company collects a 30% federal tax credit (no longer available to homeowners) and, in NPP's words, "monetizes that tax credit over 5 years." The contract was executed by sending the DocuSign to just one partner, with all owners lumped onto a single signature line -- one person signing on behalf of the other. For a married couple in California, that's legally questionable under community property law, given a) the encumbrances placed on jointly owned property, and b) no power of attorney authorizing one spouse to sign for the other. I never saw the agreement until installation was underway. 2) Misleading claims. My partner was told, verbally and in writing, that we'd "own the system outright" at the end of the 5-year term. In truth, the contract contains only vague language about a fair-market-value buyout, with no detail on how to initiate it or who to contact at end of lease. We've had zero contact with Balto through this entire process -- only NPP -- yet NPP's sales director told us they have no role in the lease agreement once it's signed. In other words, they don't stand behind the product they sell. Don't be like us -- do your diligence (especially if you're over 65 and new to solar leases), verify every claim against the actual contract language, and make sure all owners review and sign every agreement.

My experience with Enphase support people has been excellent... We've had our 16-panel installation…read morefor 8 years now, and one of the inverters started failing, and was sometimes unable to communicate with its panel and with the Envoy terminal. I sent an email support request, got a response within two days... that person looked at our system, saw the failing panel, tried re-provisioning the inverter, but when that failed, they generated an RMA and sent me a replacement inverter, with no difficulties. The one disappointment is that, although the hardware has a 25-year warranty, that does *not* cover labor, and the company that originally handled installation does not do that any more - so I was stuck with paying $550 for installation, but the installation company (which I got from Enphase) did the job cleanly and reliably; they were Sunwise Solar Solutions, whom I will be leaving a separate review for. It's important to note that Enphase just makes/sells the hardware; they are *not* installers...

I then receive an email a few days later telling me my system has been diagnosed and it is functioning properly. Accept my Live Status continues to show the batteries discharging to the grid. I have contacted my installer who told me they contacted Enphase and they have corrected the issue. When I asked what the issue was, I was told (direct quote from their email), "They checked if the settings had on the disable "Discharge battery to grid" setting on , the battery will not export to the grid. They seen that it was not disabled so they disabled it on their end." First, wow. English apparently is not their first language. Second, so, even though this setting was disabled in my app, the system at Enphase was not. I am not confident this issue has been resolved.
