Chris was helpful and responsive and his team managed to work on our very steep roof. I would definitely work with them again.

Wowza - these guys are responsive! Recommended to us by @Nicholas Roofing, Kingdom Solar did not disappoint. Called back with an estimate, scheduled and done within a week. The guys who did the install were neat, professional and pretty sweet. If you want solar installed, call Kingdom! read more

Kingdom Solar has installed two solar systems for me. One for the main house and one for the ADU. I started my solar journey in March of 2022. A neighbor referred a company to me, and ultimately I fired them as they ghosted me. Then, I started with company number two. Again I was ghosted. In 2024, Chris and Kingdom Solar were recommended to me. When I talked with Chris, he assured me that he would not ghost me and he has been true to his word. The work and the communication from Kingdom Solar has been top notch. The system on the main house was completed in 2024 and the one for the ADU in 2025. There were some small issues along the way, but Chris and his team were communicative and helpful in resolving the issues. I highly recommend Kingdom Solar. read more

Thank you so much to Kingdom Solar for all of your help and getting my solar panels up and running. I bought a house with older solar panels in late 2023. I could not figure out how to get the service transferred and get the panels up and running. I called a couple of different solar companies in the area, but they said they would not help me unless they installed the panels. The company that installed the panels originally went out of business. I contacted Kingdom solar and Daniel came over right away. Daniel was absolutely fantastic and such a pleasure to work with. He communicated directly with the solar company so I did not have to do anything. He got the solar panels up and running. He even got me a brand new solar inverter from the service provider. Amazing! Daniel is an absolute gem and I'm very grateful to Daniel and the team at kingdom solar for their help. I highly recommend that you give them a call. read more

If you are looking for a solar company that is dependable, reliable, efficient, skilled, and experienced, look no further. These folks came right to my house immediately after I asked for a quote and Chris Paredes, the owner/electrician, spent a ton of time with me explaining everything about solar, how it works, etc. He does not speak down to you but takes the time to educate you in detail...more than you even need. He does not rush through things and is very thorough. My system was on my roof within 3 weeks and it's neat and tidy. They did an exceptional job and the system is working like a charm. They will provide their advice for key decisions you have to make, which I really appreciated, but also allow you to make decisions if you have preferences. And, most important, they take care of all the permitting and forms that PG&E require you to submit. it was turnkey. so easy and it's so good. They are super busy right now as the tax credit is expiring but they fit me in and were very responsive. We are SUPER HAPPY with our system and with Kingdom Solar. This is a high integrity company. read more

Kingdom Solar added a battery back-up system to the original solar installation they did for us in 2023. (Five star review then, too.) They did an excellent job, despite the battery project being somewhat complicated due to the layout of our house. About a week after the batteries were installed, PG&E implemented a 48-hour power shutdown in our neighborhood (due to high winds.) The battery backup system worked seamlessly & kicked in automatically. We're SO glad to no longer have to haul out the generator & extension cords every time the power goes out - which happens frequently here. Great job, Kingdom Solar! Five stars. Would highly recommend again. read more

Someone posted on NextDoor and recommended Chris Paredes for help with solar. If you are looking for knowledge about the solar world, someone would will listen (however long it takes) explain in simple to understand language and so, so kind! Chris Paredes is the man to call in this area. And, "Yes" I can judge a book by its cover :-) www.kingdomsolar.com read more

Chris was absolutely fantastic. He came in at my budget, while other were over from by thousands. He even had one of his crew members come before any signed contract to check out the roof and meter. Going into solar I knew exactly the system I wanted, while other's were giving me different panels to try to make the budget. Chris, came in on budget with the equipment I wanted. There were no games, no sales tactics, and no pushiness. He is all technical and knows this industry. Additionally, his whole crew is knowledgeable, technical, and know how to interact with a customer (no third party crew). They really take care of your install. On to the install, I signed the contract with Chris on March 28th, Kingdom Solar came on March 31st and April 1st to do the job. They were completely finished by mid day on April 1st. I had my system running since then, and the only other formalities were left was the city approval and pge connection. The city official came out and approved it a week later and then Chris's team put the pge approval. Now I am just waiting on PGE to start my NEM2 connection, they are slow but once it's connected ~ no more electricity bill! I recommend Chris and his team for your solar project any time and any day! PRO: - seamless transaction - don't need to worry about anything - Super technical and amazing folks - Payment is easy and Kingdom takes care of connection with PGE and any other fee CON: you are still paying your utility company for electricity - call Kingdom NOW! read more

We were very impressed with Kindom Solar. From the initial bid, hardware recommended, and final installation. They did a great job and we've been very happy with our new array. read more

My second time experience with Kingdom Solar. Recently we needed to upgrade our roof so I contacted Chris (owner of Kingdom Solar). His company had installed our panels about 4 years ago. For the new roof to be installed, Kingdom solar first had to remove the panels, and after the new roof came on to reinstall the panels. The whole project went off with clockwork precision thanks to Kingdom solar. They coordinated with the roofers, removed and replaced the panels swiftly and efficiently. As we bought an EV we also used this opportunity to add a few extra panels. Kingdom staff was very professional and kept me in the loop throughout the process. I remembered some of their staff from four years ago. I heard Kingdom Solar had grown in the past four years which didn't surprise me one bit. This is a very professional and customer oriented company and I'm happy to continue to recommend them! read more

I contacted them and they promised to get back with a quote but never did. Not sure if they were just too busy or what. I went with someone else. read more

At the top of the tall snowy mountain of solar providers, you will find Chris and his team at Kingdom Solar. Superb workmanship, attentive planning, and otherworldly kindness armed with state of the art equipment combine to produce an experience as bright as a supernova. They keep it simple as this process should be. They only install the most reliable equipment, in the most guarded way. We worked with several other companies to repair our aging 20 year solar and battery system over the years, but the only one I trusted to replace it was Chris at Kingdom. From the art of wire management to keeping the workspace tidy at all times, next level circuit optimization and backup redundancy, just A+ top notch work. We couldn't be happier. Our new 18kW array with string optimization along with our Generac PWRcell 36kWh backup is a dream. No matter the nature of your house, finances, family, scheduling, and city inspectors, installing a solar system with battery backup is guaranteed to be a big, involved, stressful project for all. The magic and art Chris and Kingdom Solar bring is their talent, charm, and diligence, all of which synergize to make this process seamless. It may be a wait sometimes to get them, the best ones are always busy. Make no mistake, this team is a venerable diamond in the rough. A surreal, divine level of skill and service, 'on earth as it is on heaven...' There's no alternative worth considering in my opinion. Kingdom or bust. read more

I called Kingdom Solar on Friday 8/13/2021 and spoke with Chris. I told Chris I needed a new inverter installed and I had the inverter in my possession. I also informed him my system had been installed by Peterson Dean. Chris stated he would be able to install my inverter. I made appointment for Wednesday 8/18/2021. Chris called back back about 30 minutes later and said he could have his technician come out the following day, Saturday 8/14. His technician John called me and set up the time for Saturday, first am. John arrived on time and had my new inverter installed in 90 minutes. John kept me informed every step of the way. He was extremely personable and answered all my questions. Kingdom Solar is a family owned business. If you are looking for a solar company for your needs with excellent customer service skills, I would most definitely recommend Kingdom Solar. read more

Although I am delaying going solar, I had all positive interactions with Kingdom. The salesman I spoke with, Doug, was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and never pressured me. Definitely consider this company if you want to purchase solar. read more

Called up Chris for a take down and re-install of our solar panels due to a new roof being put on. I needed it done within the next week since I had already schedule the roofers to come on a set date. Chris was very accommodating and schedule his crew to come a day before the roofers started and reinstall them back the day after they finished. Chris kept in contact throughout the whole procedure. Kingdom Solar came to my house and took down the solar panels with care and stored them in my garage. They came back a week later and reinstalled the panels. They even cleaned them prior to putting them back on. Ricky, one the the installers noticed some condensation in the pipes when it was taken down and said he would drill some vent holes on the bottom to let any new condensation drain out when he came back the following week. Ricky remembered and did so during the reinstall. Kingdom Solar did an amazing job, I would definitely call them again should I need any future solar service. Jay C. read more

I've been in the market looking for solar for my home and reached out to a few different companies to learn more and get quotes. Kingdom Solar took the time to walk through the entire process with me and was patient explaining all of the nuances of solar (including the installation process, pros/cons of battery storage, etc). Their quote to install solar was extremely competitive and easy to understand. While other companies were quoting timeframes way out in the future, Kingdom was able to start much sooner and have everything completed in a reasonable time frame. During the entire process, Kingdom was very responsive, handled all of the paperwork and kept me continuously updated. Now that the process is complete and looking back, I would highly recommend Kingdom Solar to others who are looking to make the transition to solar! read more

A friend recommended Kingdom Solar a few months ago, and I read the reviews here. I have to admit that I am often a little suspicious when I see so many glowing five star reviews, but, from my experience, these are legit! Chris really lives up to all the praise. He made me feel so comfortable and did not try to push me in any way. The price seemed fair, so I decided to go with my gut and sign the contract. Everything went seamlessly. He has a great team and they got the job done in a very timely way. Very happy with the product and the production of the panels. The inverter is excellent, and it's fun to watch the production on the app. Highly recommend them! read more

Chris did me a great service, getting to the problem by guiding me over the phone. As directed by him, I snapped photos of the inverters and breaker boxes. He gave detailed step by step instructions to find the cause. Very patient, very knowledgeable and very friendly. Found external breaker had tripped but was still in ON position, hence I did not suspect it. Luckily that was the only issue. Even after spending about an hour with me, he declined to charge anything. Decent, honest owner who does not gouge his clients. ****I highly recommend using his services for any solar installation or repair and maintenance **** You will be delighted with his service. read more

Kingdom Solar (Chris) designed and installed the solar power system on our home last September and both the process of working with him and the performance of the system has been outstanding. We started by getting four quotes from highly rated contractors. While all were easy to work with during the estimation phase, Chris stood out by being the most responsive (generally immediate reply), easy to communicate with, and demonstrated the deepest level of knowledge on all aspects of the project. He also offered the best overall price for the project. Based on Chris's initial proposal as well as other competing bids, I did a lot of research and ended up changing some of the aspects of the system's design based on my personal preferences. Chris was very easy to work with and flexible on the changes and was happy to provide pros and cons of various options. While the system itself didn't necessarily require an electrical panel upgrade, I decided to include it as part of the project which Chris was also happy to take on. Chris was also very helpful with the roof mount sealing portion of the project. My roof was relatively new so it wasn't redone as part of the solar project, but my roofer had requested that when I install solar that I should have them do the mount sealing work. I got their estimates and Chris advised that they were unnecessarily high. He offered to get a competing estimate from a reputable roofer that he typically worked with and it was about 50% less expensive. Thanks to Chris I saved quite a bit on this part of the project. The end-to-end install itself took several days of total effort, between the mount installation, roof sealing, solar panel and microinverter installation, and main electrical panel upgrade. The communication was very clear and easy with Chris and his team. I always knew what the plan was for each day and what was happening next. Inspection and permits were all flawless. Really couldn't have gone any better. Now it's nine months later and the Panasonic panel and Enphase microinverter solar power system is working perfectly, generating the amount of power as estimated - which will cover our entire house and electric car power requirements. I also like how easy it is to see how much power the system is generating via the Enphase web and app. Finally, the roof seals all stood the test of the past rainy winter. To sum up, from someone who is pretty demanding and pays a lot of attention to details, I highly recommend Kingdom Solar and Chris for your solar project! read more

Doug at Kingdom Solar has been great to work with! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he is honest and straightforward. I reached out multiple times both on Yelp and phone and Doug has always been super responsive and able to answer all of my questions and concerns. He is a straight shooter and does not pull any shady salesman techniques. Highly recommended! read more

Guys did a great job on the install and no better guy to interact with than Doug. He seems very genuine and is a calming presence with what can be a very stressful decision. He answered all the multiple questions at weird times of day. I interviewed quite a few solar people and he was shoulders above, and the reason, along with reviews, we went with Kingdom. Thank you Chris for the great experience. read more

We contacted Kingdom (and several other solar companies) close to the April NEM2 deadline and went with Kingdom. Glad we did: made the deadline, system is installed and generating power as expected, and its online monitoring system is easy to use. They take a team approach and everyone -- sales, office, initial inspector, install foreman and crew -- we've interacted with has been friendly and patient (we ask a lot of questions). Highly recommended. read more

I could write something lengthy and, instead, I will simply say that I wholeheartedly agree with all the other 5 star reviews! My solar has been in for 2 months now and I couldn't be more pleased with it, Kingdom solar and every single employee with whom I've come in contact. I interviewed and compared 6 companies before making my decision. I was the most impressed with Kingdom and its products AND they turned out to be the least expensive! They handled every detail of the process and have a shop and office right here in Livermore, which was important to me. The communication was fantastic too. If you're looking for a company to install solar, I HIGHLY recommend you go with Kingdom Solar and you'll be happy all the way around! read more

Chris runs a terrific organization at Kingdom Solar. His employees are well trained, motivated to excellence and nice people to have at your home. Our installation went smoothly throughout from initial design to completion, and our system is producing exactly as it was designed to do. They filed the paperwork at PGE for us, and our monthly bill has been zeroed out since April when it was approved. We are very happy with all aspects of the job that Kingdom did for us, and we recommend them to anyone looking for a solid company to do a great job for a reasonable price. read more

We had Kingdom solar remove and reinstall our solar when we needed a new roof. They were amazing. We were on a tight timeline, and they were able to make it work. They communicated with the roofing company we worked with, and the reinstall process was seamless. Their pricing was competitive as well. Every person we spoke to/worked with was friendly and helpful. The original company we used to install our solar made many mistakes. The guys at Kingdom Solar corrected them when reinstalling and updated the firmware. If you need solar installed or reinstalled, go with Kingdom Solar. It will save you the headaches and dishonesty you get with other companies. read more

Our solar system has been in for almost a year, and there have been no problems. Workmanship was excellent and services and replies were prompt. Any concerns were processed quickly and fairly. We have neighbors who have waited months for PG&E approval, but Kingdom managed to get permission to operate quickly. Our neighbor recommended Kingdom because they were so pleased with the quality and service. Kudos to Doug, Andy, and Chris. read more

Chris was the first out of 8 solar companies that I interviewed. After speaking to Chris, I knew I couldn't go with anyone else. He was trustworthy, knowledgeable, honest and very respectful and he was never pushy. His team is an amazing group of people. If you are considering solar - look no further - hire Chris! read more

My goal was not to get ripped off and know that the installer would use the best equipment while providing a high quality installation. Because of this, I started educating myself on what a great solar install looked like and what was a competitive offer before I started interviewing installers and collecting solar bids. I only hire companies if people have great things to say about them. Because of this, I contacted some companies that had great yelp reviews and chose to see what they offered. Kingdom Solar was one of these companies. I asked for a quote on their website and shortly after, I was contracted by Chris (the owner). My initial impression of Chis was a good one. He noticed that I seemed educated and asked if I had an idea of what I wanted. I told him what I was looking for and he made some recommendations. I told him I would look into his recommendations. (Spoiler: He was spot on in his recommendation according to my research) He designed my system using his computer while I was on the phone with him and then sent me an email proposal/quote. Based on my research, I thought the quote was priced fairly, but I had nothing to compare it to yet. All I knew is that Chris offered the best equipment, a great solar design on the roof, and seemed like he would be really great to deal with. Later that week, I had a few more quotes from other companies. They were significantly more expensive and used lower end equipment. I was shocked considering these companies had many 5 star reviews. One of those companies wanted to place the panels on the east side of my roof (when it is common knowledge that the west side is superior). Another, (medium sized company with hundreds of 5 star reviews) quoted an inverter that wouldn't handle the size of my solar array and would end up clipping power (they apologized when I called them out on it and then quoted the proper inverter at a significant price increase). It blows my mind considering that most people wouldn't be educated enough to know this information and that the trust the solar company to quote the correct equipment for a particular job. I emailed Chris because I wanted some items changed on my quote. I received a call from him within minutes and we had a fantastic conversation. After sending me an updated quote, I told him that I may be interested. He was not pushy at all and informed me that the next step was an on-site survey. I scheduled one for that weekend. Chris came by that weekend (on time) and checked out my electrical panel. I asked him some difficult questions to test his knowledge on solar (He passed). Lastly, he got on my roof, took measurements, and ensured that his software was accurate in panel placement design. I shared a few concerns I had regarding installation. My roof is only 2 years old and I wanted to make sure my roof penetrations were properly waterproofed. In fact, the thought of having people walk on my costly and fragile concrete roof had my stomach turning. He addressed my concerns and went above and beyond by agreeing to install using the methods I had wanted. He still was not pushy and told me to contact him if I had anymore questions and then left. Later that week, I signed. Installation day came shortly afterwords. Chris and his crew were on time for the installation. Chris briefed them on the job and reviewed the plans. I got met each person working on the job and they got started. I'm a picky homeowner and wanted things done a certain way. I was there monitoring the job the entire time and the crew was fantastic making any accommodations I requested. They did attic work, so no conduct is visible on the roof and painted any exposed conduit so it blends into the background. I was in the attic while they were doing the work, it was very detailed. Chris's crew definitely takes pride in their job. In fact, I am super happy to say that out of everyone in our neighborhood, I have the BEST looking solar install. The system was installed and inspection came two days later. The Tracy inspector RAVED about how good the job on the roof was done. Chris joked around and said he was happy that the homeowner (me) was around to hear that. The inspector turned to me, looked me straight into the eye, and told me he wasn't paying lip service and that most installers are not that detailed on the roof. BOY - Was I happy to hear that!! In summary - if your looking for an extremely high quality solar installation, with the best equipment available for the best price, and probably the best and most flexible installation crew - contact Kingdom Solar. I can continue to go on and on, but this review is already long. I usually don't do this - but if your thinking about Kingdom Solar, but there is any doubt in your mind - feel free to send me a message asking any questions regarding my experience with Chris and his install crew. I'm so happy with my install, I'd be glad to answer any questions regarding my experience. read more

Kingdom Solar - Finished product. Best design out of any installer. :-) - Solar Installation Near Me - Livermore, California

I found Chris on Yelp and called to explain my need for a new installer after not being happy with the installer I had. I have a current system and was having a lot of issues with my installer/warranty. He was so friendly and calmly listened to my situation - and said he could help fix my panels. My system has been up and running smoothly!! He is very responsive to phone calls, texts, and the work that needs to be done! Because of the great service he gave, he is now my new installer and I could not be happier! read more

I could not be happier with the work that Kingdom Solar did. I was floored at how quickly they were able to run computer models that predict energy generation from satellite images of sun exposure, give me a quote, install everything, and handle all permitting/inspections/paperwork. I had a licensed and legal solar installation less than a week after my initial inquiry, and Chris even took care of all the paperwork with PG&E to get my plan switched to one compatible with net use. The installers were extremely professional and very knowledgeable. They did careful work and left everything neater and tidier than when they arrived. The installation uses all top of the line equipment. I did a lot of research about solar, and there is really nothing that they could have done better. As for the results, things are looking pretty good. The work was completed mid-October (it is now mid-November), so I have not yet been able to see the numbers during the best months for solar. Even so, in October I was often generating more electricity than I consumed. This is suggesting that we will do even better than the computer model predicted, and the system should pay for itself in about 7 years. read more

Kingdom Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - Livermore, California

Chris and his whole team are AWESOME. They are super hard working and didn't stop until the job was done and perfect. AND his price was the lowest of all the quotes I got. I contracted with Chris to install 6.4KW system through my foam roof along with a new sub-panel. His roof seals were top-notch. I actually feel like my roof is better after they worked on it. The installation of the sub-panel had some challenges due to the old wiring in my house but he was able to do a great job sorting through it. The system is running well and is producing exactly as planned. If I could give Kingdom Solar 6 stars I would. read more

My wife and I just signed a contract with Kingdom Solar for solar panels and Chris the owner has been outstanding. We had a million questions and Chris answered them all with a good attitude and lots of knowledge. He's also helping us with some main panel and sub-panel electrical challenges so his electrician skills have been a huge plus. We got many proposals from other solar panel installers and Chris's quote was super competitive and his problem-solving has been a cut above. We are excited to have the solar panels installed and have been extremely impressed with Kingdom Solar! read more

Over two years later, our solar setup is still working without a hitch, and we're producing power at the same rates as when we installed. Actually there was a bit of decline due to tree canopy growth; but, after trimming early this year we regained our original rates. Our electricity bills have remained negligible. No problems with any of the equipment, roof, etc. Very satisfied customers. :-) read more

I started my solar project by quoting several solar companies, from big famous ones to small ones. Chris got my contract due to his competitive price and selection of panels, as well as his prompt reply to all my inquiries, even at Saturday / Sunday night. I am very happy with my decision in the end. They were very efficient, did high quality work, cleaned up afterwards, from sign contract to pass city inspection in just a little more than a week. The other solar companies actually quoted me 2-3 months for the whole process, unbelievable difference. Also their price is all inclusive, while some other companies would charge extra electric modification fee, permit fee, connection fee, etc. Highly recommended! read more

Kingdom Solar - New solar installation - Solar Installation Near Me - Livermore, California

I don't typically write reviews but felt like these guys earned it. Great experience -- the team went above and beyond to make our project a success. I'm the type who spends an hour researching the best salad spinner, so you can imagine I asked Chris lots of questions and went back and forth on design choices. He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, and we landed on a system that was cheaper and higher capacity than I initially expected (compared to Tesla and Sunpower). We've had the system for 6 months and it's producing great, no roof leaks, no problems. If you're on the fence about solar or this installer, don't wait, you're going to love looking at your PG&E bill every month! read more

We had a great experience with Chris and Kingdom Solar for our solar installation. They provided excellent insight and recommendations without being "pushy." Every step of the process was clearly communicated and well organized. Highly recommend! read more

The only problem with Chris? He doesn't run my business! :) I own and operate one of the most highly rated solar co.s in the Bay. Chris is the best installer I have worked with. In 15 years. Very experienced, FAST, diligent, smart. Conscientious. read more

Couldn't be happier with Kingdom. Chris was in close contact through the entire process and the guys were all outstanding. It's a good feeling knowing you're working with people who care about doing it right the first time and taking the homeowners preferences into account even when it means extra work on their part. Originally I contacted Tesla but their process is inflexible - they couldn't fit nearly as many panels as I requested even after half a dozen phone calls. When I called Chris he easily found a way to fit the 7.15 kW system and got the city building permit without a problem. The solar panels took two days to install and the 200amp panel upgrade another day and a half. Each day they arrived early and worked late. They really hustle. The system has been working perfectly and producing more than I expected. As neighbors notice they ask who installed it - I enthusiastically refer them to Kingdom. Thanks Chris & team - you guys do quality work. read more

Buying a solar system is a huge investment so I wanted to take time to share my experience with Kingdom Solar. Firstly, Chris the owner (and licensed electrician) is very knowledgeable and patient - I must have called him 10 times at least. It's a very different experience than contacting most other companies who punt you through sales reps that aren't as skilled as Chris. The price was fair and the other big plus was the speed of installation. Within days, Ricky came to do an inspection to finalize designs. The next couple of weeks, installation was scheduled. Final city inspection was done a few days after, followed by PTO approval in a couple of weeks. It's hard to trust contractors especially with this amount of money but I'd say Kingdom Solar is trustworthy. The level of service they provide can't be matched by large installers. Proud to support a local company and hope they continue to thrive! read more
