California Fair Plan forced me to get a new roof but I had solar. I contacted Buck and we decided…read moreon a metal roof for fire reasons and because I didn't want to roof my house again. He came in $20,000 lower than one bid and at least half that on another bid. He finished the job a week early and under budget. His men were professional and very knowledgeable and were very careful with my property. My new roof looks amazing! I simply can't recommend this company enough.

Thanks Volt! I highly recommend this roofing and solar company. Buck and his team are great: very…read moreknowledgable, hard-working, and have amazing attention to detail. On top of that, they're just good down-to-earth people. We hired them last spring to re-roof our home, replace some rotted eaves and fascia and replace our old solar system (it was inefficient and malfunctioned quite a bit). We are very happy with what we got for the price we paid, it was a good value. It looks so much better than it did before and is consistently producing more energy. I feel like they helped us make the right decisions through the whole process, especially for system size to be able to keep our NEM1 status. The new roof looks great and works really well. I waited almost a year to write this review to make sure there wasn't any water intrusion during the winter storms - not a drop anywhere. They were in the mid-high range in pricing on the bids we got, but I'm happy we spent a little more went with them. Can a roof be sexy? Ours sure is. All in all, if you need a new roof or solar system or home battery, or all of the above, call Volt. They are a competent and professional group of local people who are really f**king good at what they do.

I had a belly laugh when I read the " sugar coated reviews re Pride electric…read more They were perpetually late, unprofessional insulting arrogant prima Donna's and impolite/rude! Back in July I had them route power up to my shop which was 1/2 conducted already and install a Generac generator to my home (which was off the grid ) with wiring and the rest of the conduit!. Owner claimed to be Generac certified but Generac / Sol arc stated he wasn't registered as certified to their company' as a technician I'm wondering what kind of business delivers a " supposedly new 22 kw Generac generator with dents in all four points of it's lid without even an apology or an attempt to " make restitution. Owner had an oral fixation ( smoked around home leaving his cigarette butts which he failed to pick up Technician he hired had 2 personalities and badmouthed his owner to me 1-1 but when the owner showed up he kissed the owners butt and pulled a 180 and said negative insulting innuendos about me causing me of not listening ( I specifically stated that I experienced hearing loss due to a bad inner ear infection as a child and tried to understand their hi falutent electrical jargon ) as I attempted to physically feed wire and help out where I could to expedite the Instalation process. I even supplied a 26 S series battery which the tobacco chewing technician hastily put in before checking the battery tray to see if there was sand debris which was present . The owner was suppose to help me obtain a surety bond from the prior electrician service who did not install the sol arc system 100 % correctly but he went " cold turkey" claiming I got a great deal on the install and because of that he felt ripped off and therefore wanted no more contact. If the iowner underbid the project this was his fault and he is responsible and should not place the blame on his customers! The owner kept finding lil problems with my sol arc system ( 1 due to his own misdiagnosis). He stated my panels were only putting out 30 % which he stated had to do with the panels or the inverters but he failed to take into acct that I was off grid and 100% panel output was therefore not indicated nor required with the 6 batteries I was using and what I required to power so the inverters may have been retuned for this purpose . I am grateful for what was performed however no customer should have to undergo the abuse which was liken to " Rawhide meets Mr Rogers"!!!' Still trying to get rid of the funny taste in my mouth.

I hired them to replace my furnace. The quote was reasonable compared to some other companies that…read moreprovided me with quotes. The installation team was very professional did a great job. The only downside was that my furnace is in the crawlspace above my laundry room they had to remove the trim and some drywall to get the new unit in there. I would have liked to know that in advance (that the new unit was larger than the space opening could accommodate) because their quote to repair the drywall and trim work was way more than I was willing to pay, so I found a Handyman that would do the work for much less money. Bottom line, they did a great job and I was happy with the overall work. I would just make sure to ask them if the new unit will fit into the space that you have available. Just so that you don't get a surprise extra expense.

I would have given them a 5 star review if not for two disappointments given at the bottom…read more I went with Chico Solar Works because they could also replace the roof (Chico Roofing Company) and I was willing to pay a premium to have a single company to deal with if anything went wrong. Also, they have been around for quite a while, I knew a few people who had used them for solar and their prices weren't out of the ballpark. Once the installation began it went quickly and smoothly, taking only a couple of days for installation and PG&E approved the installation within a few days. Note that they also had to upgrade our breaker box to 200A and they did a great job of matching the adobe texture and paint color where they had to cut out for the larger box. There were two things that were a bit disappointing. One was that the monitoring app showed incorrect "Consumed" energy information. It was including the produced power so when the sun came up my Consumed power went up at the same time as the produced power from the panels went up. According to Enphase this is a rather common issue and yet it took a couple of weeks to get Chico Solar to recognize there was a problem, which included my talking to Enphase a couple of times. Even after it was agreed there was a problem it took another month to get the issue resolved. It was disappointing that the people who do the installations couldn't recognize there was an issue even when I described it to them. The second issue is that (at least) one of the panels has a scratch a couple of inches long. At least initially this is not going to be an issue but I suppose it could lead to early failure. I have not reported that to Chico Solar. I should also mention that all the installed equipment was as quoted except for the panels. The panels were from a different supplier and had an additional 10W output with nearly the same specs otherwise.

Workers came out and worked on my system three times never talking to me just leaving door hangers saying the came out. 2. They designed a system to meet only 80% of my needs why on earth would I want that ? They shorted the panels I needed and I would've paid for and thought I was paying fir a system that would zero out my PG&E bill . 3. My annual True up has been running $3500.00 4. They owe me 12k the difference between the financed price vs the cash price since 2017 the one year anniversary of the system I got in March 2016 . * Because I thought the two sales guys where very knowledgeable and helpful , friendly. I told them to add $500 for them to split. Thus the financed price was to be 39,000 plus the $500 totaling $39,500 which I paid thinking I would get the cash difference once the Hero program informed them it was paid in full . The county refunded their Hero set up fees around $3000.00

It turned out that there were a couple of good choices, but United Sun Energy also happened to give us the best value. They were one of the 2 lowest bids and they had the most complete warranty, plus lots of experience. It's now been a little over a year since we installed our system and we have been just as happy with our system after their installation as we were confident when we made the decision.
