We had RCI install our 26 panel system over 10 years ago, after reviewing 4 other bids. We've been very happy with our choise and system performance (especially with all the rate increases). We're even happier about the level of service provided! We've only had a couple of issues, both covered under warranty and Rob Tuekes and his crew responded quickly and efficiently when contacted. The latest service call involved a bad relay and Rob scheduled Jesus to come replace it. Jesus not only serviced the panel but volunteered to fix several roof tiles that another contractor had broken! We heartedly recommend RCI to anyone contemplating solar! read more

They installed and service my system. The cost was extremely competitive and the service was the best. Rick and his guys are great!!! read more

See all

Rick and his team went above and beyond exceeding my expectations. They were the only company that would put my solar array up on the hillside 500 feet away from my house for full sun exposure. Everyone else wanted to put it all over my roof, shop, and suggest removing trees for better sun exposure. Rick also was an expert at getting the approvals done with PG&E fast. In addition, my shop is on it's own meter and he took care of the Net Aggregate Metering. My shop now gets credited excess power from the house solar system since it is on a separate meter, but on the same property. I pay PG&E $40ish a month for the use of their 2 power meters. Other than that my electricity bill has been zero for the past 3 years. All work was done very cleanly and they never left a mess at the end of the day. When everything was completed you wouldn't know they were ever here doing work. No need for callbacks and my system hasn't missed a beat. Rick has since done additional electrical work for me and the installations have been very clean. Highly recommend RCI Solar Electric read more

RCI Solar Electric - RCI Solar panel installation - Solar Installation Near Me

Rob at RCI Solar gave me a bid to install solar panels on the roof of my house. I signed a contract in April. After 3-4 weeks I finally got a drawing, which I approved, and was told that the permits were submitted in May. I followed-up multiple times over the next couple of months to check on status and was told that they were waiting for approval from the city and Lodi Electric. After 3+ months I finally called the main office and talked to the owner who told me that the permits were never submitted and that they had decided they reneged on the quote and didn't want to go through with the project... but never contacted me. So, their sales rep spent 2-3 months lying to me and now after waiting all summer for them to install solar, I've got to start all over again with another vendor. Thanks for wasting my time. read more

RCI Solar gave us a fair bid to remove & replace our solar panels due to a re-roof job we had to do. The original solar installer tried to swindle us with an outrageous bid and tell us we had no choice or our warranty would be void. RCI switched our warranty to their company, performed the job well, on time, and went above and beyond... the crew spent several additional hours to correct the bad wiring job from the original installer and Rick @ RCI didn't even charge us extra! RCI is professional, timely, knowledgable, and more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RCI. Best business experience we've had in a long long time! Thank you Rick and crew! read more

Rick was amazing! He came out and took care of an issue we were having and was able to make adjustments to our system. I would recommend him to those looking for an honest solar company. read more

I recently purchased a house with solar and had no idea who the vendor was that installed it and was given no info at closing. A friend recommended Rick from RCI and he was great. It turned out my inverter was not working, and he came out and looked at it. He told me who my solar provider was, got me setup with an app on my phone and was very responsive. It turned out my solar system was under warranty, and he fixed my system for free! Good quality service and he is a nice guy who knows his business. I highly recommend RCI. read more

I would not recommend RCI Solar to anyone. We went through them and they were great until after the install. Granted it's been a few years, but for me service after the sale is very important. I have spoken to Rob regarding out system and what appears to be some panels that look like they are burnt out. He tells me he will have someone check them out, which never happens. Now he won't even return my calls. I have seen other systems that are older than our and they look fine, but not mine. Rob keeps trying to tell me that's normal for the panels, which I don't believe. I highly recommend you look elsewhere especially if you want service after the sale, which you won't get with RCI read more

One of the best solar company out there. It looks like a family is running the company. Dad Fred main guy, son Rick takes care of technical stuff and daughter Sera takes care of apointment and scheduling. I dont know who to give the best service award. They three were awesome, promt, punctual and respectful. I had 10 of my panels not working and called Fred and explained him on the phone. He sent Rick to take pictures of the panels not working. They found out BP solar is the manufacturer. But BP solar went bankrupt couple of years back. Since every panels have 25 years warranty they contacted the BP warranty department . BP had a recall on these models so they asked them to send all the 40 modules and and they will issue a check to replace them. The check is on its way. They just replaced the entire modules today. The best part is I still havent paid them. Because Fred said I can pay them once I receive the check from BP. This is the trust they have. In this day and age it is very hard to find trusting and honest people like them. Also they are very reasonable in pricing. When Rick came to take picture he charged only $175 whereas I have had people who just came and tried to fix but couldnt and suggested me to change inverter itself, have charged $300/ visit. I am breaking even with the cost. I would any day recommend RCI solar to any one I care about. read more

This is truly a family owned business! They have done my house and my rental house. Were there when they said the would be and we're clean and professional. Price was competitive and the product quality was awesome. Highly recommend!!! read more

Just got our new system finished by RCI and could not be happier! Rob, Tom, Rick, and Sarah were great! Price was good and they did what they said they would do. We had some small issues during installation and the RCI team made sure it was handled and we were happy! I would use them again tomorrow! They are family owned and do what they say they will do! read more

Great company. all of the employees are knowledgeable and respectful. They installed my solar on time, professionally, works great. Rob Tueckes made time to come to my home on a moments notice and did a through inspect and quote. Rick came out and did the technical and layout of the panels. The install crew was exceptional and got the job done in record time. read more

Had a great experience with RCI. They were professional but more importantly they were really helpful every step of the way, they made sure to set me up with the right system for my house, nothing larger than what I would need. I feel like I got exactly what I needed without any hassle. In addition I had checked with several contractors before I chose RCI and despite their excellent service they were also cheaper than the other options like Solar City. read more
