    Our roof!
    Christina S.

    What a great company to work with! I looked for a solar company through yelp and got a few calls and quotes. I went with this company because I felt comfortable talking with Ross and the price I was given was fair and within the range of the others. After talking to Ross, he sent one of his colleagues right away, Hebert, to check out the property and do some measurements. He also came by to visit and checked out the property at a later time. He answered all of our questions whenever we came up with it, no matter the time of day (I texted after their hours). I think it is very important to feel at ease when dealing with businesses and we were. They took care of everything paperwork related through emails (signing, etc...) they scheduled our RMA with SDGE and the minute sdge was done, Hebert and his team were here the very next day! They are very courteous and knocked on the door when they got here and when they were leaving. They cleaned up after themselves and again, the professionalism was there! Oh! And they painted all the conduit to match our house color as well... which turned out nicely. Now, we are just awaiting for the final inspection from sdge and off or on the grid we go! Also, just waiting on the email for the app for us to download and monitor our usage but they said it'd be a couple days... almost to the finish line!! So far, I've recommended them to a couple of friends. Solid company, honest, local family business. Thanks Hebert, Grace and Ross! One bonus is that we had an old solar for the pool we used to have and they took that down and also got rid of it for us! Thank you!

    After an exhaustive search for a company to work with, I was fortunate to find GR8 Energy to do my solar installation. Both Ross and Grace Fockler are great to work with and were pleasant and courteous in answering my questions and keeping me informed. The terrific service carried on with the installation crew including Rafael, Hebert and Omar. They had all the panels installed on the roof in one day and returned on a following day to finish the wiring, which included a panel upgrade, and system activation. I've been enjoying my own power generation now for a couple weeks and couldn't be happier.

    Gr8 Energy what can I say only good things, I found them on Yelp and due to the high ratings I ended up going with them. I got a total of three estimates one from Costco one from Home Depot and these guys had better ratings and best price. After they did my estimate I didn't follow through not sure why but after about a month something told me to jump on the solar train. I emailed Ross the owner from the previous email he sent me and we got the ball rolling. He gave me different options to pay for it and that was nice to have. We got financing lined up and they were ready to install I think we even jumped the gun a bit because I live in a gated community with an association and thought they were going to handle all that but when I remembered it was the sales guy from Costco that offered to deal with my association. So after they were working on the solar I asked Ross to email me the plans and just forwarded them to the association along with the signatures. One of my neighbors was mad that we didn't get the signatures before the work started but we're still trying to get used to the association BS oh well at our old place we'd just do it not bothering to ask anyone. Overall our solar system works great they turned it up before we got the ok from SDG&E we were producing power and it was going into the grid but not getting paid for it until I got the email from SDG&E with the authorization to perform. So now I don't pay a monthly power bill just pay a loan payment which is a lot less than my normal bill so it is a win win. If you haven't gone solar you need to because your power bill is only going to go higher and higher.

    Loving my GR8 system!

I have to say, I can be a very particular person; I want things done a certain way, specifically when it comes to aesthetics. I really like things to blend in, so when I saw them installing the mounts, I quickly asked Gilberto if we could paint them to match. Without hesitation, he said, "Of course we can," and got it done immediately. What they did next was truly over the top. The team noticed some parts of my roof needed quick maintenance and, without me even asking, they fixed them! They even painted a roof vent that wasn't related to the solar panels just so everything would match perfectly. Kasha and Gilberto did an amazing job, but their customer service is what has me recommending this company to everyone. Even the owner, Gabe, really impressed me. I am so glad I went with them. Thank you, team--this was hands down the BEST VALUE out there!

    Gabe came recommended from another solar company that did not service residential customers (only…read morebusinesses), and was pleasantly surprised at the responsiveness, attention to detail, clear communications and explanations, and above all else professionalism and courtesy. In the sea of many solar companies who are just trying to turn out installs, Gabe took the time to share his experience, knowledge, and advice. This is a rare situation and one that warrants this write-up. Do yourself a favor before booking any solar company, check the reviews. Many negative complaints stem from the lack of follow-up or follow-thru with commitments after the sale. Getting the panels installed isn't the issue. The issue is getting them services afterwards. For the value, Aloha Solar Power is by far, the best choice for my panels.

    Review Update: After…read moremy initial review, Eric (the sales rep) and Matt (the owner) of Sunline personally reached out to me and was apologetic about the situation. They sent Travis out promptly, who is their electrician where he found that the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty 40-amp breaker that was intermittently providing the necessary voltage, even though measurements initially appear correct. While the breaker issue caused real inconvenience and unexpected costs on my end, the owner was responsive and showed willingness to smooth things over to work toward a resolution. I also want to highlight that the panel upgrade and solar/battery installation itself was clean and well done. The workmanship that Eddie, Manny, Christian and Jamie performed had overall met my expectations, and once the issue was identified, Sunline did step in to correct it. No project is perfect, but how a company responds when problems arise matters a lot. In this case, Sunline's owner and Eric was engaged, responsive, and made a sincere effort to make things right. As an engineer, and after witnessing the symptoms and corrective actions firsthand, I believe the breaker issue was likely a manufacturing defect, and it was unfortunate that it occurred during the holidays. That said, based on how Sunline handled the situation, the overall quality of their work, and the value they offer, I would recommend them and plan to continue using them for future needs.

He explained what they could do to fix and update it, gave us a quick turnaround on a quote, and we were sold. The team came out and removed the panels, did a lift and relay on the roofing, replaced the felt underlayment and rake and ridge tiles, and added O'Hagin vents. The roof looks like a new roof and we couldn't be happier. The Cosmic office kept us updated throughout the process. Big thanks to Pey for answering all our questions and keeping in touch with us, and Eddie and the roofing team and Hector and his solar team for being so courteous, cleaning up each day and doing such an excellent job.

TIMELY- Uriel called 30 min before his arrival and then, arrived at the stated time. This is particularly helpful so I can move my bunny to another room with all of his belongings. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I saw him place a protective cloth down on the floor before he placed the ladder and tools down. I also noticed there was a bottle of cleaner with his supplies. He cleaned the inside vents as well as the compressor on the roof. He also tied off a loose wire/when checking the air handler in the ceiling. KNOWLEDGEABLE and THROROUGH - Uriel did a complete system check and then, he sat down with me to explain what was done and why. He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.
