    This is a screen capture of my Tesla PowerWall performance app from a typical day after installation.

    My friend who is a solar consultant has been working with me for a few months to line up this spectacular deal for me. 11 years ago I was pleased to have Solar City install panels on my roof. However, over the intervening years my electricity needs have increased as I recently leased a Tesla which requires more electricity than the plug in hybrid I leased before. Smart Solar set the permitting process in motion prior to removing the old panels and installing new powerful panels in 2 days! Wow! My solar output more than doubled with the same number of panels, even though the new panels were rated at 50% higher! My house is now more than 55% self powered (includes a Tesla PowerWall) today running 2 zones of A/C! The previous panels supplied only about 10% of the power. The owner of the company, Mark, is truly a gentleman and his crew is as expertise as you get. They are careful with attention to detail and amazingly efficient. I would have no reluctance to recommend this company. They are as excellent as you can get.

    California Solar and Electric. CS&E is simply the best. Call Mark Howe. Honest, reliable,…read moreprofessional, skilled and highly competitive. Best warranty and quality materials and labor. 949 637-9108. They are out of Santa Clarita. We are so happy and satisfied with our system and our bills have gone from $300 plus a month to less than $40 a month. Also when the power has gone out in our neighborhood the battery backup has saved the day. Stellar value, workmanship, professionalism and service plus a 25 year warranty. Highly recommended

    California Solar and Electric was great to work with. But I wanted to provide a more detailed…read morereview than I normally do as this was a bit more complicated than just going out to dinner. At my old home I had solar installed without any kind of battery backup as at the time battery backup was really not an option. Solar was pretty good but did not provide me with a zero bill. When I sold that home and moved into my new home the cost was more than I wanted to spend. Fast forward three years and prices have come down and with the federal tax credit expiring I decided to make the investment as the cost of electricity seems to keep going up. I wanted to go with Tesla as being a big company I thought they would be a good choice. The first problem I had with them is you can't reach a person to talk to. And for the amount of money this costs I was not really comfortable, however I moved on and paid a deposit and started the process in September of 2025. When I finally was able to speak with a person they told me that they could not guarantee that they could complete the installation by the December 31, 2025 deadline, really 4 months of lead time? I canceled Tesla and looked around at my other options. Shelter came to my home and we spoke. They were knowledgeable and the salesperson was really nice, however their price was a huge difference from the other two quotes that I received. Quantium was another company that I spoke with, and I was ready to use them as they were much bigger than California Solar and I thought that might be a better option, plus a neighbor had used them and were happy with them. However when I got the contract from them it basically stated that they wanted a $1000 deposit and if they found that I needed additional work and if I did not want to continue then I would loose my deposit, that seemed outrageous so I told them that I would not continue with them. Note that after I had decided to go with California Solar and Electric they told me they would give me the deposit back if that would happen, but by them I had already signed the contract with California Solar and Electric and honestly was happier with them at that point. I spoke to Mark Howe and he was excellent. I told him about Quantium and he sent me a copy of their contract and told me that they did not do that. His price was the same and the equipment was the similar. Note that they actually had to upgrade my solar panels and did not charge me any additional fees. They also did some additional work to allow more of my home to be backed up than their original quote. Mark told me that he could get the job done before the tax deadline so I signed with them. The process took a bit of time as we had to get permits and approval from the HOA. But the system was installed on time and fully completed well before the deadline. They actually worked on the installation during huge winds and rain. It did take a day or two longer to complete than what they originally thought. One of my batteries was bad out of the box and that created a bit of an issue but Henry was amazing and took care of everything quickly and professionally. He was even nice when I messed up and scanned a QR code that I thought would download a different app but it basically erased my home from my app. Note to self, double check before scanning QR codes. All in all the process was professional and was handled as quickly as possible. Communication was good even though they were swamped trying to get everyone installed before the end of the year (2025). Everyone that I dealt with was really nice and easy to work with. I think I must have driven Bella their wonderful assistant, crazy calling so often. Of course Henry had to deal with all of my questions which he handled and made me feel very comfortable. I would suggest that if you do decide to go solar, give California Solar and Electric a call and get a quote. Thanks for reading my lengthy review.

    We hired this company based on a recommendation from our roofing contractor's project manager, but…read moreunfortunately, they did not live up to that recommendation or the positive reviews we saw online. The scope of work was the removal and reinstallation of our existing solar panel system during a roof replacement. Estimate: Fair pricing. Communication: Quite lacking. It felt like we always had to be the ones initiating contact, even when it came time for them to collect their payment. Service and Workmanship: The removal took one day and the reinstallation took another. We didn't have any issues with the removal, but the reinstallation had several major flaws. Most notably, they reused the original flashings, which were bent and warped. Because of this, our brand-new shingles could be subjected to warping. We pointed out a few visibly damaged flashings at the corners, but we have no way of knowing the condition of the flashings hidden beneath the panels. Considering we just spent $20,000 on a new roof, they really should have asked if we wanted to replace the old flashings with new ones. Now, I am just hoping we don't end up with leaks in a few years. Cleanup: The second major problem was their lack of professionalism at the end of the job. When they finished, they simply walked off. They didn't clean up or pick up their trash, leaving debris all over the roof, roof gutter, and throughout the yard. Overall: I absolutely would not have hired this contractor if I had known how poor the workmanship and customer service would be.

    Wow!!! If I could give them more than 5 stars I will give tham 100!!!!…read moreI interview more then 5 different companies and I find Jacob the most professional and knowledge than every others.

    I must confess that six months ago I thought Green Energy was some kind of kale fitness drink, so…read morewhen my best friend told me about her new solar panels I wasn't too interested. Then I found out her monthly electric bill went from four hundred dollars down to zero and it was time to get educated. Instead of rolling the dice on the five hundred solar providers I found online, I took my bestie's advice and called No Cost Solar to set up a free consultation. My husband and I expected a typical used car salesman assault on our minds and bank account, but wow, what we got was the complete opposite. From minute one, Brant answered all of our questions without making us feel like idiots. He explained the process, discussed all of our solar options, and even took videos of our roof with a drone. The only thing he didn't do was pressure us into a commitment we weren't ready to make. A few days later Brant sent us a full proposal designed specifically for our house, including a rendering of what the panels would look like. But most importantly, he gave us a clear comparison of our existing electricity costs and how much we would save by 'getting off the grid.' Let's just say it was a lot of money! Money we could use for a lot of other important things. Well the rest is history and I'm proud to say my family and I have gone green! No Cost Solar and Brant were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Any questions or concerns we had before and after the installation were quickly answered and addressed. I will never be an expert in renewable energy but now I'm qualified to brag about it to all my non-solar friends and when I do, I always recommend No Cost Solar to get it done right.
