I was going to get solar from an outfit out of Bakersfield but what the sales engineer told me, and…read morewhat was in the written contract, were not even "close." So I told the Bakersfield guy to fly a kite. Firebear, that's his preferred name, was recommended by a neighbor, who is very particular with his business dealings. I met and we discribed a system to charge my electric car and to maybe provide power, if the electricity went out. He gave me a written proposal and carried through on a wonderful installation. Firebear Ottley is honest, will educate you on solar, in plain language and is a man of his word.

After interviewing approximately seven solar companies, reading reviews, comparing pricing,…read moreevaluating customer service, and reviewing BBB ratings, I ultimately chose SunMade Solar Energy to expand my existing solar system. One thing that stood out immediately was that their pricing was highly competitive with the other companies I considered. While pricing was important, what really set SunMade apart was that they hold both solar and roofing licenses. This gave me additional confidence because I previously had a bad experience with another solar company that damaged my roof, failed to fix the problem, and later went out of business, leaving me to pay for the repairs myself. Our sales representative, Jon Bernal, was professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. There was one item that the system designer later clarified, and although it wasn't a major issue, Jon personally reached out to notify me of the changes. That level of integrity and accountability meant a lot to me and demonstrated that he genuinely cares about his customers. The installation crew was professional, arrived on time, kept the work area clean, and communicated well throughout the process. After installation, I noticed a section of concrete that had become uneven due to settling. I contacted SunMade, and they returned within days to correct the issue and followed up to ensure everything was satisfactory. That kind of customer service is becoming increasingly rare. The entire process moved efficiently. Our first meeting with Jon was on March 28, we signed on March 30, the system was installed on April 27, the meter collar was installed on May 13, and we received Permission to Operate about a week later. Jon also helped us identify and secure available rebates. I would also like to thank Tara in the office. When I needed copies of my contract documents, she provided them promptly and without hesitation. Another positive observation is that the owner, Oz, appears to be actively involved with the company and personally responds to customer reviews. I noticed this during my initial research and felt it reflected a company that values customer feedback and satisfaction. At the time of this review, SunMade Solar Energy held an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Based on my experience, they delivered competitive pricing, excellent communication, professional workmanship, and outstanding customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend SunMade Solar Energy to anyone considering solar for their home.

Hello, I want to share my experience with Nova West Energy. While I was in the market to add a…read moresolar system to work alongside my existing one, I interviewed about seven different companies. I took my time researching, reading reviews, evaluating customer service, and even checking the Better Business Bureau. After all of that, I narrowed it down to two companies, Nova Energy and another local company in Fresno.Ultimately, I chose the other company because they hold a roofing license as well. This was very important to me due to a previous bad experience with SolarCity damaging my roof and not fixing it. I ended up fixing it out of pocket. That being said, Nova Energy truly stood out. Justin took the time to thoroughly educate me and presented a very well-designed system tailored to my needs. Honestly, I would have gone with them if it weren't for my prior experience and specific concerns. What impressed me most is that they genuinely care about their customers. Even knowing I was comparing multiple companies, they were patient, transparent, and focused on making sure I understood exactly what I needed for my home. Even after I told Justin I had decided to go with another company, he still took the time to make sure I was fully informed. He reviewed key details with me such as solar panel quality, system performance stats, degradation rates, and the difference between kW and kWh, just to ensure I was making the best decision for my home. That level of professionalism and integrity really stood out. In today's world, many companies treat business as just a transaction, sell a product and move on. Nova Energy is different. They take the time to understand your needs, educate you, and guide you without pressure. Their approach is honest, professional, and customer centered. Their pricing is very competitive, and they don't try to oversell. Instead, they explain your actual energy usage and make sure you don't overproduce unnecessarily. That level of integrity is rare. They also have excellent reviews, offer a strong 25-year roof warranty, and clearly stand behind their work. Even though they didn't end up installing my system, I believe my hesitation around roofing, despite them having a 25 roofing policy, was more related to my previous negative experience and my need for extra reassurance. If anything, if you are in the market for a solar system, I strongly recommend giving Justin a call. He is honest in his evaluation, does not try to oversell, and takes the time to answer every question you may have.

I received an alert on May 20, 2025 from mySolarEdge that my panels were not producing any solar…read more Upon inspection, I discovered that my panels had not been producing solar since March. When I called mySolarEdge to ask why I did not get consistent notifications, they said it was because the installer, Solar Negotiators, had put themselves as the "owner admin" and receive the notifications. They also informed me that these notifications are free as they are part of the app. I called Solar negotiators back and I was informed that they do get notifications from mySolarEdge. They initially stated that it was my responsibility to inform them of when my solar panels are not working so that they can repair it. However, when I reminded them that I do not even get notifications from my app because they are the owner admin, they admitted that they do receive notifications for my system and that they would normally catch it and reach out to me to repair it. They also stated that they have been busy over the Spring and therefore had not been able to address the issue in a timely manner. They advised me to send them a tru-up bill in order to receive reimbursement. I reached out to a representative on June 4th and provided them with my tru-up bill. However, they would not provide me with any updates or status changes unless I prompted them with emails. Finally, after my fifth prompt, I received an email from a customer representative informing me that I was responsible for notifying them of any loss of power and they would not be able to reimburse me at this time. This is completely different than what I was told on the phone previously. I believe this company was using misinformation and delayed responses in order to not address my issue. In addition, I was never informed that they had control over my account, which I believe is a tactic to force me to either consider paying an additional cost for their monitoring app, "Know Tru-up", or risk not get reimbursed when my system loses power without my knowledge. Edit: Cindy, the Chief Administrative Officer, did reach out to me and was very pleasant in trying to help me. She reached out to Solaredge and was also informed by them that Solar Negotiators did have full administrative access and that they could grant it to me. She attempted to work with making that change but nothing has occurred in the past two weeks. My review still stands but I do appreciate leadership taking accountability and trying to remedy the situation.

Coleby was very patient and great at explaining what to do. Luckily I had some DIY experience so it helped with the troubleshooting. It ended up taking a few weeks to trouble shoot cause there was snow on my panels but they were good to follow up and see if things were back online or not. Their effort and responsiveness really impressed me. My solar is back online thanks to them, and sooner than anyone else who reached out. You can tell they care about the customer, their reputation, and provide excellent value. This company is great and I have nothing but good things to say about them.

The sales process was smooth and painless. The installers were top notch and willing to go above and beyond to make me (the client) happy. I spent a lot of time researching the different brand panels out there and Sun Power has by far one of the best products on the market. Once I decided what panels I wanted I searched for local solar companies around The Valley that were authorized resellers. I made some calls and got quotes from four different local solar companies. The owner of Pacific Solar and sales rep (Bam) came out to look at the home and talk to me about their company and installations. I met three of the four companies researched in person and the friendly attitudes of the Pacific Solar reps impressed me the most. We had 20 panels installed on our rooftop.The installation was clean and all cabling/conduit was ran through the interior crawl spaces. I have seen a lot of sloppy solar installs on neighbors rooftops and this is by far one of the cleanest installations on the block. The inverter was mounted inside on the garage and not on the exterior of the home. The whole process from start to finish was fast. We signed in June, panels were installed on Friday August 2nd, the City of Clovis came out to inspect that following Monday, and PG&E swapped out the meter August 12th! I love coming home from work and looking at the PG&E meter as it displays "Received", meaning I am sending power to them and not the other way around. I referred a co-worker to Pacific Solar and recommended he shop around as I did before signing. Long story short his experience was similar to mine, he just signed on a 24 panel system. To anyone seriously looking into a solar purchase or lease I highly recommend at the least getting a quote from these guys, you will not be disappointed.

At the time, my uncle said that someone "just went up on the roof and installed panels and it was all free." My uncle is a widowed Vietnam Vet who is 100% disabled. At the time of this sale, he was 80 years old and living alone with dementia. The panels are not working and have been reported to Empower, the installer, EverBright, the leasing company, and Omedian, the company that services the panels. The PG&E bill has never reflected a reduction in monthly cost for the solar. My uncle is now in a memory care facility and our family is committed to a $212.56 monthly payment to Everbright Solar for 25 years. My uncle never would have agreed to this purchase had he fully understood the financial obligation. At his age, he would never financially benefit from such a purchase. Empower took advantage of my elderly uncle and abused, misrepresented and fraudulently convinced him to DocuSign a contract in which he did not fully understand.
