The team started the removal on Tuesday but had to leave after 3 panels die to very high winds. I have a 2nd story steep slope roof so is was not safe for the crew. Sarah was very professional rescheduled a crew for Wednesday. Of course it was pouring when they arrived but the wind was not a factor. They removed the 28 panels but had to leave the roof mounts in. If removed I would have leaks all over my 2nd story of my house. Daddario roofing is scheduled for Monday to remove the roof and again Sarah came through. Sarah had a team out Friday morning to remove the roof mounts and we are good to go. Sarah did a amazing job of rescheduling 2 different crews that I am sure were already scheduled to get my job on time. Great work by all!

I recently completed a solar system installation with 18 panels and 2 batteries. Our original goal…read more(as we communicated to the company multiple times) was to fully disconnect from PG&E and rely on our backup generator for power during lengthy poor weather time periods. The initial installation went smoothly, but everything since then has been disappointing & frustrating. The county permitting process was delayed by nearly 8 weeks because the solar installation was not up to code. When they sent out a team to fix the problem, they ordered the wrong insufficient materials because they somehow didn't know the size of the array that they had installed weeks earlier. It eventually passed the county permitting inspection. Then there were problems with functionality during a power outage. During the sales process we voiced multiple concerns around having sufficient battery capacity to sustain multiple days of poor weather. We spent a lot of time & money to have our generator permitted based on this conversation. We were told that our standby generator could be used to recharge the batteries. When a lengthy PG&E outage coupled with bad weather in early January caused our batteries to drain to zero, with no generator charging, I contacted their service department email yet it took them 15 days to respond. They told me that the batteries can never be recharged with the generator and insisted that the prior conversations never occurred. We never would have spent $$$$ on generator permitting if we were told that it was impossible to charge the batteries via the generator. Overall, a very disappointing and experience. While the solar array works fine during good weather, that's not the primary reason why we installed the system. Poor service, dishonesty and incompetence are unaccetpable. I can't recommend working with a company that behaves in this fashion.

I made a great choice in Fisher Electric. I came home from a trip to find much of the house…read morewithout power. It was not a PG&E issue. I called Fisher and --actually-- got not a recorded menu but a real person who immediately put me on the booking list for that very day. John (Jonathan) was here in a few hours, went to the breaker box, sized up the situation quickly and definitively, and explained what needed to be done. He and Aaron were here early both days of work and installed a new breaker box and outside electrical panel very efficiently and neatly. John also advised me of options for the future if needed. They double-checked and tested everything, attended to every detail. The charges were very much reasonable for such extensive work. I can't praise Fisher Electric enough for their good work and service.

When I first inquired, Tim (the owner) reached out and scheduled a consultation/evaluation of my existing system for the following day. He arrived on time, was professional and very knowledgeable. He sent me over a couple different proposals that he believed would be best for me and my usage. I reached out to competing companies to test the market and one company found out that I was on a different NEM standard than we previously thought. This discovery made me second guess getting solar for the time being. I reached out to Tim and he said that he estimated I would still need to upgrade but that I could give it a few months to see how my energy bills were in the winter and early spring. To say he was right was an understatement! My bills went from $60 to over $300 some months. Now that I knew that adding to my system was worth it and had more information, I reached back out to Tim. He didn't miss a beat in suggesting a system that maximized my output and didn't break the bank. (Mind you, he spent hours going back and forth with me answering questions and concerns I had) Ultimately, I chose to go with Tim because of his expertise (he was an electrician prior to starting Golden State Solar), professionalism, customer service and honesty. He never pushed me to make a decision and gave me multiple options that he believed were best. The permit and installation process were painless and completed within a couple months (mostly waiting for the permit). The system drastically increased my solar output and I couldn't be more happy with my choice to go with Golden State Solar!

All of a sudden the panels at my mom's house stopped producing energy and I was in a pickle because…read morethe installer went bankrupt years ago. Because of the good experience I had with having Clean Solar install panels at my house I reached out to them to see if they would service panels installed by another, and thankfully they accepted the job. After some back and forth with their customer support, they remotely assessed that the inverter failed and they would install a new one for a reasonable price. Clean Solar employee Jose arrived early for the install and he was very polite and relatable. He replaced the inverter and did not leave until he made sure that the system was back up and running and production was being reported in the app. I recommend Clean Solar to anyone needing their panels serviced or to install a new system. Jose is an excellent employee and my mom had a great experience working with him.

We needed to add panels because we purchase an EV and needed more solar to offset PG&E. The impeccable experience started with Art the consultant, he gave 4 scenarios and explained in detail what each means and provided detail report including all the tech details and break even timing. To be honest, it was too much for me, I really just wanted pricing and how long it takes to install haha but was good to know he has such knowledge and I was confident he is looking out for my best interest. Then we had Patrick the PM, arrived for site inspection on time and courteous and explained the whole process. Then come the impressive installation team Luis, Alberto and Kevin. The 3 arrived on time and with smiles, just overall a great vibe from them. Luis walked me through the installation plan and gave a few choices taking into consideration aesthetics of the house and then got to work. 4 hours later, clean line, fine craftsmanship and symmetrical matching placement from last system is in place and ready to tangle with PG&E (attaching some photos) I really really can't recommend any higher to go with Clean Solar on your solar projects. Seamless is what you'll experience with them. Until next time Clean Solar!

Scott at Solar Electric Supply gave me outstanding support and advice as I constructed my 14.4KW…read morearray for an off grid homestead. After creating my load table and modeling summer and winter pier needs, then PVWATTS to model solar array performance settled on a~14 kw stationary ground mount arrays. Shopping solar panels I chose REC for their technology, longevity, physical load strength, thermal characteristics and began searching for best deals to get them. Here's the first phase of contact with SES. Scott helped select the family of REC panels. He also knew the particulars of the Sol-Ark inverter I had selected. He urged me to buy the family of panels in quantities of 36, 40, or 44 to "balance the system". I knew not what he meant then and bought 40 REC NP2 360W at a great deal. He suggested I buy a few extra as spares but I suspected he was adding fluff to the invoice and passed (he was not adding fluff as events unfolded). The 40 panels arrived and the array installed. Then a 100 year ice storm hit and a tree toppled destroying only one panel. The suggestion of extra spare panels was for inevitable hail, ice, causing a need for replacement. The reason I had gotten such a good deal was the end of REC making that panel in 360 watt size. The same family continues but in larger wattage and larger physical dimensions. I could not buy an NP2 that would physically fit in that space The array would need to be partially disassembled, and an over sized panel fitted to the end without end support (the metal support wasn't long enough to expand to longer lengths. Scott found a different family of REC panels at 365W abd similar voltage and current characteristics with slightly different thermals abd the same rugged construction. But he didn't have any instock yet had heard of a trailer load that had sold a few months prior. I found that buyer and got a close out deal from him (in New Mexico) and bought replacement plus extras to fit my arrays exact dimensions. As an aside, the shipment of these panels had 2 destroyed in shipping which I heard was common with solar panels but did not happen with Solar Electric Supply's packaging abd shipper selection. Months later I'm getting ready to wire the array and studied the Sol-Arks MPPT specs and saw that 4 strings wired in series gave voltage in the sweet spot of the Sol-Ark 15 MPPT charge controller then combining these in parallel hit the sweet spot of current for the Sol-Ark 15 MPPT. The 4x10 array minimized the lengths of wire running from the ends of the strings to a combined box. This is what Scott meant by "balanced" and behind his encouragement of making the array in multiples of 4. So I called Scott a third time about the parallel connection and he quickly educated me on the perils of 350V DC connections and the need for a combiner box, grounding of arrays and the box separately, DC circuit breaker, and surge protectors. Stuff he does not sell!!! Referred me to Midnight Solar where I got the bits and pieces to build the combiner box. It's all together now and works seamlessly. Every bit of advice Scott gave was spot on the bullseye and made the project SO much easier. I trust Scott and Solar Electric Supply for tech support, delivery support, fair pricing, industry and market knowledge, and exemplary customer service. You can too.

I…read moreheard good recommendations from others who used SES and since CA was locked down during covid summer, I had free weekends to do the project. Installing it myself cost less than half what solar contractors quoted and my system paid for itself in four years given CA's insanely high power prices. I am very happy with it. SES carries top product lines and their support far exceeded my expectations. Bill was there every step of the way for me, answering questions and offering advice. A panel was damaged on my ground-mount system a few weeks ago and Scott was super helpful and went out of his way to help me find a replacement panel with the exact same dimensions as my existing panels...and he didn't even carry that panel! My experience with SES, start-to-finish and post-sale support, was excellent. I will use them again on future projects and I regularly recommend them to friends interested in solar.
