So, my neighbor was looking to get solar, and since we have a pretty big array, of course they asked us. I couldn't believe they didn't have a Yelp review, so here I am. We first met Tim with Renewable Solutions in February of 2022 when a neighbor asked us who we were going with. After some encouragement, we decided to give Tim a call. We figured we'd just get a quick quote and move on, after all, we had already gotten several quotes and we had "made" a decision. Tim arrived, listened to our plans, spoke with us about out power needs, and tried to give us an education about how solar works, but quickly discovered that we were already pretty informed in this area. Then he gave us our quote... which was $20,000 LESS than SunRun, who we had already decided to work with. We then set about poking holes in why is was so low. We looked into the converter used (Enphase micro-converters) as well as the brand name of the panels- figuring we would find cheap Chinese knock-offs. NOPE. They were good, band name panels. After doing our due diligence, we canceled our old contract, and went with Tim. (Sun Run came and dropped their price to match, however the panels weren't as nice, and we were upset that they had tried to take advantage of us.) We quickly received approval of my roof (only a year old), they proposed a layout of the panels, and my questions about placement were answered by the engineering team were answered the next day. (They were right of course, but I appreciated the explanation.) Upon approval, they also handled all the paperwork with the HOA too. One less headache! We financed the entire project, and they were great setting us up with financing at a low rate, and all signing and everything was done online. They handled all the permitting, and interfaced with the City and PG&E to get inspections done too. Any questions I had I was able to shoot off to Tim, or the customer service team at Renewable Solutions. Before I knew it, they had men up on my roof! Most of the work was completed in one day, and the second day, they completely finished. (I have a pretty big array!) The only thing that they neglected to do was paint the conduit to match my roof- required by the HOA. But after a phone call they quickly came out and got it done- free of charge. (BTW, conduit is UGLY. I highly recommend having them pait it to match the roof and walls. it cost nothing extra, and makes a BIG difference!) Anyway, we've had our system a year and a half now, and wow, going solar was truly an amazing decision. Everyone in the neighborhood is griping about the rising cost of energy - and it's one less worry for us. Last year our True Up bill at the end of the year was ELEVEN DOLLARS. This year, after the city removed a couple trees and we cleaned our panels, our production has gone UP as well. (Our current True Up bill is -$441. How cool is that???) TLDR; Call the guys at Renewable Solutions. They will get the job done at a reasonable cost, make your roof look great and kill your energy bill. read more

Hiring Jeff Wakamiya at Renewable Solutions was by far the best decision I have ever made when making improvements to my home, It has been 2 years since choosing him, and he has consistently informed me with any updated state programs that could benefit me. *Please note that not any of my friends who used other companies have ever had calls from their sales rep informing them of the SGIP program which would have allowed them free solar battery storage if they qualified. In fact, my friends have never had any follow up calls after the initial sales meeting.  Jeff and his team filed all the necessary forms needed to secure the free batteries for his customers who qualified. He did this without his receiving any remuneration from the CPUC. Jeff has been consistently professional, kind, informative, and has ALWAYS gone the "extra mile." I strongly recommend calling Jeff Wakamiya at Renewable Solutions to help you with any of your solar and roofing needs. You won't be sorry and you will be thankful that you chose his company!

I purchased a system from Renewable Solutions a couple of years ago. I was very impressed by Jeff. He came prepared, he answered all of my questions, and he didn't pester me for my business even after devoting a few hours to educate me on solar. I received a couple of bids to get comfortable that the price was fair and made the decision to go with Renewable Solutions. During the installation, he continued to stay in contact with me and any time we had any issues come up, he made sure the issue was resolved. I was again impressed at the level he went to clear those hurdles because I feel like I normally have to beg and plead with home improvement people to get work completed. Two years later and I'm still pleased with my choice. By the way, it's important to clean your panels. It can make a 10+% difference in your production! read more
