We have been considering Solar installation for a while, and initially going with one of the bigger companies, until I had a friendly chat with a gym pal, who suggested I reach out to this business.
José came out in person to look at the house, and potential position of the panels. Meanwhile we exchanged e-bills from PG&E, to look at the house load, and he scooped up the size of the project, and gave me an initial scope. I asked him to minimize any visible electric ducting, and wanted it all hidden in the attic, which would cost a little more, but was aesthetically more pleasing. I wanted the best looking panels which were all black, and without the 'snowflakes. I also wanted the inverter to be future setup in case we add a battery in the future. José was very professional, and constantly gave great advice.
On installation day, his team arrived, and the day was going to be a hot one. He spent time with me on the roof to confirm the location, and then they got to work. In half a day, they had the panels all up, and the inverter mounted on the inside of my garage. I was working from home both days, and when he realized we needed to cut power on day two for the connections (I also upgraded my fuse panel), he brought a small generator, so I could continue to work!
After the installation was all complete, and operational, he got the permits, and then organized PG&E to sign off, and start to get our energy back to the grid. I changed the habits at home, and now the dishwasher goes on at noon, during our peak generation time. We even are generating power when the AC is running!
Our payback looks like less than 6 years, and this team were great. Very professional, Great Price, and Great Installation. read more
