This company does great work. They really went above and beyond to save us when our previous PV contractor went MIA. Brian and Ashley were great on the communication end and Luke and his team were awesome, timely and professional. They even worked with some used components mixed with old panels and new microinverters/gateway we supplied, as well as supplied new wiring for a third string we didn't realize was required until installation time. Cost was very reasonable for all the work that was done. read more

I agree with the other bad reviews... they are not responsive and prompt when there is a problem. They appear to be a brokerage company that hires solar panel installers and only facilitates the install. That is probably why they are reluctant to take accountability when things don't work right or if there is damage. When I discovered roof leak damage after the install and also suboptimal energy production, they passed the ball onto Enphase and said it was not their responsibility. read more

When you purchase they seem great but when something goes wrong good luck for a tech coming to solve the issue. They are unresponsive if something goes wrong. read more

Had a recent garage roof leak caused by a "mediocre" solar installation by a now-defunct company. Element was able to come out within a few hours of my call to fix it on the spot! Great relief with upcoming weather changes... read more

Luke, Garret and Quinn did a great job.! They arrived on time, were very professional and got the Solar installed and inspection done all in the course of less than two days. read more

We had a great experience with Element Power Systems. Luke and his team were fantastic. Luke took the time to explain what he was doing and made sure the work was completed in time to have our inspection completed and approved by the City. We would highly recommend Element Power Systems, especially if you would get Luke and his team. read more

We had solar panels installed on our roof recently, and received excellent service from Luke, Gavin, and Garrett. Especially during COVID, it's usually a little uncomfortable to have someone you don't know come to your home, but we felt well cared-for right away. Luke's communication about their time needed and what they were doing was very helpful. When a panel arrived broken (not their fault), he explained very clearly how they would rectify that, and quickly replaced it with a new one. We highly recommend Element Power Systems, and appreciate their exemplary service. read more

Do not go through these guys. They will just take your money and leave you waiting and not respond to your questions. Installation went great, but its been sitting for 6 weeks waiting for inspection to turn it on. There is no customer support you can get ahold of. I left messages on their phone lines in multiple departments. I emailed the customer service email that had emailed me before and responded, but no response when inquiring about scheduling inspection. Sales guy just emailed me that he just canvasses and has no way of helping on the other side of the business. Not even in the online chat can I get ahold of anyone. read more

Efficient team and they kept me updated on the progress of their work. Luke, Garrett, and Gavin were great.

What a great company and awesome installation crew of Luke, Garrett, Gavin, and Conner they did a great job. They were knowledgeable, professional, personable and efficient. I would highly recommend them!! read more

Element Power Systems is one of the best and we highly recommend them. They have a wonderful service, and are very thorough in their work. They take the time to explain everything to you in great detail and communicate well. If we had any questions, they were always willing and available to answer them. They wanted to be sure we felt comfortable with the whole process and guided us through. I hope that I am not forgetting anyone but I must mention Luke, Garrett, Gavin and Conner who all worked very hard on our home and really took the time to put in quality work. While they did a very fast and excellent efficient job, they took their time to ensure it was all done correctly and to perfection. They even went above and beyond for us to help us paint the pipes for the solar box to match our home in which we provided. Cant say enough good things about this company, and if we should ever have a need for them again we look forward to reaching out. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

We were referred to Element Power systems by a friend who was extremely satisfied with them. Travas was fantastic! He took the time to explain everything to us. He was always easy to reach and very responsive. Our installation went on without a hitch. He went above and beyond to find paint that matched our house and was approved by our HOA and ensured that even the cosmetic part of the job was perfect! Even after the job was complete he is still responsive to any questions we may have. We highly recommend Travas and Element Power Systems read more

Luke and Garrett not only did a great job, but kept me informed throughout the process. Courteous and friendly and professional. The installation took less then 2 days. The price was the best and I got the best panels money can buy. I would definitely recommend this company. Can't wait to see the utility bill now. read more

We looked at several solar companies and are very happy we ended up with Element Power Systems. Brian (the owner) was very responsive to all of our questions and issues that invariably came up. I look forward to a continued relationship with them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone interested in a solar system. read more

Can't recommend Brian enough. He installed the solar on my home in El Sobrante. After talking with a few different companys, he was definetly the choice. He was very friendly, professional, and I really like that he showed up at my house when he said he would (not 2 hours later like some contractors I've dealt with) and cleaned up before he left every day. After seeing how well he did installing the solar, I hired him to do some electrical work for me. He brought several potential problems to my attention and fixed them while doing the other electrical. Brian, your the best! Thanks again. read more

Thank you Travas Brian & Brian for an amazing and courteous job well done! We were very impressed with Travas's explanation of what their Solar Company offers. Super responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable!! It was an extremely smooth process. They have a close out package which explains everything and Travas explained the app for your phone in which u can check your system live any time. If you want competent and reliable service, call Element Power Systems for your solar. I am going to tell all of my friends about them." Laura S. read more

I got a SunPower Solar system installed on my roof. Solar Quote by Sunpower used Element Power System Inc to install my system. Luke, Garret and Gavin did a great job! They were efficient and finished the job in 1.5 days. Luke explained well what they are doing and what I am to expect after they are done with the installation. Hoping my system will be up for production soon! read more

I had this company install solar as well as the whole house fan on my house in Brentwood, and I would totally recommend this company to anybody considering solar. Throughout the entire process the sales rep Travis kept me informed and in the loop. It was Quick easy experience. I set up appointments with five different solar companies two of them from out of the area and three locally. Travis Falcone showed up at my house on time and with a bunch of data on hand to give me an idea on the size of system I needed as well as the different types of insurance they carry and work they've done and what I could expect from him and his company. I chose element because they were local, because he had the type of panels and system that I wanted, as well as was willing to install the whole house fan of my choosing. Element power lived up to every promise Travis Falcon made they handled everything from the permits, to install, as well as Liaise between PG&E and myself. The panels are barely noticeable from the street and the conduit they did run outside the home they even painted to minimize and complete the look. They guided/educated me through the entire confusing process, and somehow even got PG&E to give me permission to operate within three days of completing install. I can't wait for this summer my AC will be blasting out cool free air all summer long. Thank you Travis falcon and element power you made the whole process easy! I highly recommend Element Power!!! read more

Travas, and installation team were great. We got out solar at a great price, and with amazing service. There installation team was sensitive to our needs, and very professional. This was a great overall experience, and they finished our solar before promised. I highly recommend these guys. read more

We were extremely pleased with services provided from beginning to end. The owner Brian took the time to throughly explain how the solar power works, options available for our home & the difference in performance of the panels depending on the type we choose. He was never rushed or pushy and remained in constant contact with us throughout the course of the project. On installation day, his team was courteous & punctual. They kept us informed of their progress throughout the day were able to complete the job in 1.5 days (including having the city inspector sign off to approve the work!). The quality of work is amazing! Unlike many other solar companies, this company does extremely clean work...there is absolutely zero ugly conduit anywhere on our roof or running down our exterior walls. They took the time to run all the unsightly conduit through the attic as to maintain a truly seamless look on our roof. The extra attention to detail truly made all the difference! Luke, Garret & the other gentleman (I can't remember his name...sorry) were a pleasure to work with. Brian also set us up with an app that we can use to monitor the production of our system at all times. Definitely 5 stars! read more

Great service every step of the process. They handled all the paper work for city licensing and PG&E. Great documentation. They were on schedule and updated me on every milestone. I highly recommend them. I am a second time repeat customer and have and will continue to refer them to my friends. read more

Bryan, Wes and Brandon did the install on my house and I could not have asked for a better crew. They were on time showing up when they said, they were polite and knowledgable about the installation. They performed my installation as if it were their own home, asking me a number of time about placement of items routing of conduit...etc. These guys are top notch and would recommend them to anyone installing solar panels. read more

Brain is really great to work with. He installed our solar system in our home. He also did some electrical work for us. He gave us a good price for the job. I felt he took that extra mile to be sure we were happy. And we were. read more

Brian and company did an amazing job on my system. They were very courteous and relatively quiet considering they did a major construction project on my home. Amazingly, they completed a 26-panel installation in a single day. I couldn't be happier with Element. Extremely knowledgeable, professional local company that manage to produce a high quality install in no time at all. I would encourage anyone who is interested in solar in the Bay Area to give Element a call. I know I certainly will refer anyone that asks about solar to Brian and Element. read more

These guys are great!! When I met with Brian and Bryan, I had a very basic knowledge of solar and the benefits of owning over leasing. I was provided with an extremely detailed and informative pamphlet regarding my current electrical usage, solar outputs with selected panels, and a cost analysis package. I compared this experience against the other solar companies I had met with and they surpassed the field in all categories. On the day of the install, they arrived on time and ready to get started. They had taken care of all the city permits and made sure all the materials were on site with the guys. The installers were good too. Hard working, determined, and SAFE, these guys were scaling 35 foot ladders for my two story home but made sure the ladders were secured to the house to prevent any accidents. It seems small and minimal, but that's one of the most important parts of working in construction. The installation flew by and the inspector arrived the following day. He complemented me on the system and even pointed out a few extra steps that Element Power Systems completed that wasn't required in our city, but added to the safety and production of the system. I wasn't charged for these steps, they were included in my low price quote and was just another example of how Element Power Systems took care of me. I can't stop talking about my new system and have been sharing this experience with everyone willing to listen. You cannot go wrong with choosing Element Power for your solar project. It's easy to get distracted by some lesser companies offering quick, but minimum savings in comparison. read more

Called Brian and he came out to our house and gave me a estimate and it was one of the best deals for solar that I got out of 7-10 companies. I went to the home and garden show in Pleasanton and ran into a roofing/solar company from Brentwood and we were chatting and I mentioned Element and the guy tells me "Hey I really respect Brian and his company does good work. They called us out to a job that they were doing and wanted us to see if the area they wanted to install the solar panels on should be replaced so that they wouldn't have to come back in 5 years." Well the roofing company did replace that portion and that says a lot when your competition says good things about you. Would have gone with Element but at the last minute I got a better deal from someone else. This company is top notch! read more

This is part of a "Thank You" letter I wrote. It says it all: "... I would like to write to say "thank you" to the Element Power team and let you know how incredible they were. Although the original installing company did a good job installing the first set of panels, the Element guys very kindly repaired all the tiles on my roof which was not done or done correctly in additional to installing another converter and run new cables. ... the Element team took it on themselves to make sure our roof was back to it's original condition and the job was done with their level of quality. I really appreciated their honesty, politeness, professionalism and attention to excellence. I didn't get everyone's name but Angelo Baugh and Bryan Olague (and others) were outstanding in ensuring the work was done correctly and made the effort to keep me in the loop as the installation occurred. High praise to everyone at Element Power Systems." read more

My system has been up and running for 4 years and I have not had any issues. It was sized perfectly so my PG&E bill is really low. I am so happy that I purchased my system from Element Power Systems. read more

Very responsive, knowledgable, and price competitive team. Travas worked with to to get a system best suited to our needs and budget for our Oakland home. I highly recommend this business for solar. read more

Excellent work and customer interface. Element Power installed our solar system and also installs wind turbines. The two man installation crew were exceptionally courteous, tidy and considerate and very efficient in installing the panels on our barrel tile roof. Barrel tile made the installation more complex and the crew still completed the work within 5 working days without a hitch. No interuption to our power supply was needed and the work site was cleaned and tidied every day. Many thanks to Mike and Sammy on the installation team and Brian for running such a strong company. I highly recommend Element Power for your solar installation read more

This company is the best. Honest, efficient and polite. No pressure from the sales person. Travis knows his product and did an outstanding job explaining how everything works. A family owned business which feels good to support. If you want solar this is the company to choose. read more

Last year I had a friend of mine paint the trim on my home. Why did I select him? Because people recommended him highly for doing painting work on homes and his attention to detail was outstanding. Last year I got serious about installing a PV solar system on my home. While walking through my neighborhood one day, I spotted a home with a very nice looking PV solar system installed on the roof. What caught my eye was how clean and organized the installation was. It was obvious a lot of attention to detail had been made and this PV solar system really looked good sitting on the roof of the owner's home. Days later I was again walking by this home when I spotted the owner. I stopped him and asked him who had installed his PV solar system. He said he worked through Sungevity Solar who then sub-contracted the actual installation to Element Power, Inc. He had high praise for the installation work done by Element Power, Inc. So, I decided to give Sungevity a call and see if I too could get Element Power, Inc. to do my installation. Yesterday, 26 February 2013, Element Power, Inc. completed the installation on my home and I could not be more pleased with the installers and the quality of the installation. The attention to detail was outstanding at every point in the installation process. If you are going to install a PV solar system on your home, Element Power, Inc. should be the company to install it for you. You will not regret making that decision. read more

This is the first Yelp review I've ever written, but I'm happy to do it for Travas and Element Power Systems. I found Element through Energy Sage, where I chose another company with a lower bid...but when they didn't respond, Element matched their price. Lucky for me, as Energy Sage doesn't make it possible for a company to advertise price-matching. Travas and all of his team have been extremely responsive to my nerdy need for information; and they managed everything from inspection to permitting to installation with apparently painless efficiency. And now I'm running my house and charging my car with power from the sun...while Element is working on a proposal for solar on my church's roofs. I highly recommend the company. read more

I purchased an 8 panel LG 365Watt solar system which included 8 of the Enphase IQ7+ inverters from Element power. After they came out for the first site inspection, they emailed me a quote which I was able to approve online (awesome). The system only took their 3 installers 1 day to install. It then was approved by the City inspector and PGE the following day. Its generating as of 7/22/2019 on my West facing roof in the 94565 zip code just over 19KWH. I am very impressed and pleased with the system power, the quality of their installation, all their staff, and the entire process which is painless. Much of the process was over email and docusign. No pressure sales and very forth coming with detailed explanation of the system and options; I would not go to any other company for solar systems and products. read more

We were referred to Element by a satisfied customer who is a friend and neighbor. We had four presentations from local companies. We decided to go with the low bid - Element. There's a decent chance we would have gone with them even if they were only in the ballpark bid wise. All went very well and quickly. This is an extremely professional organization that knows it's stuff. Proposal 2/6, installation 2/14, inspection 2/16, power on 3/5. Way to go Element and Many Thanks! read more

I can't say enough great things about Element Power Systems. Travas and his team did a top notch job. Travas took the time to teach me about the PV components and how it would work with my home. He was super patient. The crew are real pros. They showed up on time, kept to the time schedule we agreed to and worked really well with the city building inspector. The PG&E part of the process was super smooth. I am generating electricity from the sun just as promised. Super job. read more

Travas and the entire team were absolutely amazing. We immediately felt very comfortable with Travas and didn't feel any pressure to sign with them. We were referred by a friend and are so happy we decided to go with Element. Installation was smooth and they upgraded our main electrical panel all in 1 day. The panels look clean with no conduit on the roof. Great customer service and amazing work. Everyone on the installation team was extremely professional. You could tell they definitely know what they are doing. I will be referring Element to all my friends and family. read more

Brian and his crew installed my solar system here in Manteca, CA. His crew were super professional and their work is top notch. Even my county inspector was impressed with their work. County inspector told me, "I have seen a lot of solar projects, but this one is clearly the best I have seen". That is saying a lot from someone who inspect solar project. read more

Element were our sub contractors for our solar install. They did an awesome job and are a great company to work with. If we hadn't already been in contract with Sungevity, I would of definitely gone with Element. Both companies are great if you are thinking of going solar. It just depends on your situation. read more
