I also love that this business is locally owned since I try to support locally owned companies whenever possible. Like everyone else, we were tired of paying PG&E and wanted a change. Northern Pacific Power Systems was quick and efficient. The whole crew was professional and they had great communication with both my husband and I throughout the process. I can't say enough great things about our experience with this company and highly recommend them to anyone looking to install solar on their home.

This is the second 5 star review I've left for this business. I've never done that before in my…read morelife. I've called back several times, months after my initial install and asked questions. Every time I call, Dan Moran has picked up the phone and demonstrated expert level mastery of all aspects of my solar project. From Tesla App support, to regulatory issues, to battery support, to cleaning/maintenance of my panels and even SGIP incentives, Dan had answers. I haven't experienced this level of competence in any industry over the last 20 years. This company is remarkable and I'm incredibly grateful for Dan and Northern Pacific Power Systems. Wish I could give 10 stars!

Since the system was installed we have used zero electricity from PGE and have instead sent excess electricity back into the grid on a daily basis resulting in net negative PGE energy use. The system functions on its own and the app provided to monitor is detailed, easy to use, and fascinating. All the staff at Vital Energy Solutions have been knowledgeable, engaged, friendly, prompt, and thorough. They got us a special price on the batteries and provided several alternative options with detailed info. Their follow through and attention to detail is exemplary. We would recommend them to anyone looking to put in a new system or add to their existing system as we did. Although located in Sebastopol they had no issues making multiple site visits to our house in Hidden Valley Lake.

From the very beginning to the very end, every detail of the installation was thought out in advance so there were no unexpected delays along the way or issues with the inspection! I had great communication with everyone from Jason (the owner), to Louis (the facilitator/advisor), to Eddie (the tech and permit guy), to June (the administration person) and with all the install guys as well. In my experience, it's relatively easy to get 80% on a job, but achieving that last 20% is as difficult to get to as the first 80% is. Earthwise never dropped the ball and unbelievably... I'd score them at 100%. SO RARE! I built, own and operate a world class recording studio which has been in Marin for 30 years. Believe me... I know what the difference feels like between that 80% and the 100%! Again, don't hesitate to give Earthwise you Solar project! You'll be 100% satisfied!

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.

SunFirst just completed the installation of a 10.5kW SunPower system on our Eichler in Terra Linda,…read moreand they really came through for us! To say that we have a "complicated situation" on our roof is an understatement. A recent remodel had resulted in tons of electrical conduit, HVAC ducting and fire suppression pipes criss-crossing the nearly-flat roof. Kim and her team were able to design their way around those challenges, and executed in record time! My experience working with their CEO, Kim, was efficient, direct and honest. The rest of her team was informative and helpful, going above and beyond expectations on multiple occurrences. Price-wise, they ended up coming out quite favorably too, compared to the two other installers I shopped them against. I would recommend that, if you're intending to pay cash for your system (or finance it through other means than their solar lenders), you be upfront with them to start with, since hidden fees from the solar lenders can start raising the price of a system, a practice that the installers apparently contractually aren't allowed to talk about. This is probably a general rule, as opposed to being something specific to Sun First. Overall, a 5-star experience, and we're so excited to be running our home off of the power of the sun!

I've had a great solar power installation experience with Simply Solar. SS's customer rep, David…read moreFrank, patiently answered a million questions in easy-to-understand terms. He found many savings and benefit enhancements along the way. In spite of the solar credit expiring at the end of 2025, David put together an HDM plan far superior to anything I found when getting competing quotes. It simply lowered the cost without complicating ownership or savings or adding any ongoing cost. Speaking of competing quotes, they beat everyone else. All together, I saved about $20,000 without undue complication. Production Manager Jack kept me fully informed along the way. He always responded promptly and clearly to every query. He scheduled and completed the solar installation much earlier than promised. The installers also travelled a long distance outside of their service area to do the job in the Sierra foothills. So, even if you think your home is outside of their service area as shown on Yelp, you might give them a call and see if they can do it. Installer Gio and his team were excellent. Our panels were going on a tile roof and I had concerns about the L brackets pulling up the tiles as they slide under the downhill side of tiles. They ground channels into each of the affected tiles for these brackets so that the roof is still as water tight as a duck's a**. Gio, the electrician and main contact on site was both smart, friendly and patient in explaining the details while the solar panels, Tesla PowerWall batteries and solar inverter were installed. I'm now using Tesla's app to monitor the whole system, which is working perfectly and is fascinating. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Simply Solar!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. This company operates in bad faith and will bait-and-switch you. I…read moreWILL BE REPORTING THEM TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU TODAY. We originally chose them a few years ago because they offered free solar panel removal and reinstallation when we eventually needed a roof replacement. The initial install went fine, but trying to get them to honor their contract now has been a nightmare. Bait and Switch: They are suddenly demanding a $3,600 fee for the removal. Even their salesperson admitted this fee was not indicated in our main agreement from 2021, but is now picking apart vague fine print (outside of our contract) to justify it. We have sent the contract over multiple times and asked them to highlight the language where it specifies this charge. Unethical leadership: Leadership is aware of this $3,600 gap, but they don't want to back down. Terrible Customer Service: They are dragging their feet and refusing to coordinate with our roofer, who has been consistently asking for dates to remove the solar. Ignored Emergencies: We explicitly told them we have an active roof leak and asked them to prioritize the removal so we could fix our home. They did not care. Once they finish your initial install, they will abandon you and refuse to give you the time of day. I am reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. If you are looking for solar, be very wary and look elsewhere.

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!

First, I had a complicated schedule and they were very good about working it out with me. Second, the work they did was spot on. It was exactly as I had requested. The crew was polite, tidy, and very competent. Lastly, I had a small last minute addition. They were clear that they were booked solid and may not be able to do it in the allotted time. But they went out of their way to get the extra bit done. I don't know why anyone would hire another Electrician. If you're looking for one right now, do yourself a favor and book with B Henry's.

The experience has been great from the start - the process started with a very knowledgeable sales technician who put together the proposal while working very closely with me to understand my design criteria, power requirements and budget constraints. Then a pre-site inspection phase to ensure everything everything would fit as designed and to scope out proper placement of batteries and control panels. SolarCraft did all the work to obtain the proper permits from the city and then installed the system. It hasn't been turned on yet (need to wait for approvals from PG&E), but am looking forward to being energy independent soon. SolarCraft did all the work (no subcontractors) and I couldn't be happier with the results.
