    We are so happy with the life changing solar installation that Sol R Us provided for us. Chris, Daniel and the rest of the team went above and beyond on the installation of our unique solar system. The two days for installation that the team was at our home they were very professional, responsive, and efficient. We highly endorse and recommend Sol R Us and we will use them when we are ready for an energy storage installation in the future. The savings that we have seen in the first two months of the interconnection are amazing and will make for a very short return on investment. We are thrilled! Ben and Lisa Carnahan

    We saved over $4K in year 1. It's been a great investment for us!

    It's been over a year since my panels were installed, but I wanted to wait until at least after my first annual true-up bill, so here it goes: I was referred to SolRus by a former co-worker. I got to see his install and learn about his experience working with Chris, Daniel and Arielle. I'm the type that really gets into the weeds before making a big purchase (I have a touch of OCD- lol); I got 6 bids and have been very happy with my decision to use SolRus. They offer a premium product at a very competitive price. Everything from the solar panels, the inverters and even the roof mounts they use (which are not all created equal) are top notch. Some companies I got bids from didn't even specify the model or brand of solar panels they were proposing (immediate red flag). I had a brand new roof installed just before getting solar, so I was really concerned about them damaging it. After the install, during last winter's heavy rains, I went into the attic a few times to check for leaks and all was good. I had Daniel oversize my system by 20% because my next car will likely be an EV and I also knew we would use more electricity than we had in the past (most people that get solar typically do). The system actually produced 609kWhrs more than what Daniel projected it would from June 2022 through May 2023, despite a very rainy/cloudy winter. I was very happy to see that on our first annual true-up bill with PG&E, they owed us $154.72! I was a net exporter for the entire year by 1,818kWhrs, which should be plenty for me when I get an EV. Daniel knows what he's doing in designing a system! If you're shopping around for solar, be weary of the guys that are aggressively selling leases and Power Purchase Agreements. They are typically a very bad deal- the worst way to get solar. You'll end up paying multiples what it will cost you to simply buy the system (even if you need to finance the purchase). The guys selling PPAs are the sleazy, used car salesmen of the solar industry. They have a slick response to any objections you may raise about leasing or PPAs, but read the fine print on those 20-25 year contracts. They are written to extract as much value/money from the consumer as they can; they favor the solar company, not the consumer. Glad that Daniel never even mentioned a lease or PPA. I'm a very happy owner of a solar system that has exceeded my expectations. With the recent rate increases and since I'm grandfathered in under NEM 2.0, I expect my payback to be just 3.5 years. =) As of this review on 9/25/23, I have referred 23 people to SolRus and all of them are happy customers. Yes, 23, which includes my brother, my partner's parents, friends and neighbors. I have no reason to believe that Chris, Daniel, Arielle and team won't continue to provide customers with a great product at a great price and an excellent overall customer experience.

Jeff reached out and helped me troubleshoot the problem first before we decided to have them come out. David the technician ended up coming out and found a really serious issue that could have been disastrous had it not been fixed. The communication and quality of the service overall are what really stood out. Between Marlene keeping me informed about the schedule and following up the day after to make sure things were operational to David's work to fix the issue and his communication afterwards and Jeff staying in touch the whole time, it was a great experience. Highly recommend East Bay Power!

    The product is good, the process left us wanting…read more Eric, David, Jose and the crew did an excellent job. My frustration was with the post installation process. I got answers from Darlene that did not make sense. Sometimes her computer was down other times her phone was down. Sometimes she would call to give me a message only to realize that she had called the wrong customer. Did not enjoy working with her. Finally, Kara engaged and we got the Permission to Operate about two months after the install. Supposedly Jeff (the Business Owner) is no longer with the company and has gone back East, so not sure who is leading their future efforts. For future customers: hang on to a portion of the payment till the Permission to Operate is received not just the installation.

    My husband and I dug in our heels FOREVER, when it came to getting solar. There were all kinds of…read moresalespeople who came to our home on a monthly basis, and we just never had a real peace about being able to trust what we were being " sold", or told. My parents purchased solar from a HORRIBLE company that sounds a lot like 'SunFun'. After they passed away, and the house was sold...we were STILL making the monthly payments for over a year!!! That SunFun organization REFUSED to transfer the solar to the new homeowner, and eventually stopped taking or acknowledging our calls. It wasn't until we had to threaten the new homeowner with a lawsuit that SunFun finally transferred ownership. Due to this, we could not trust any of these solar companies...that is, until Kevin Bedard came to our home, and explained everything in great detail to my husband and I. He took the time to hear about our concerns, and he showed us how he truly cared. That same week, we spoke to two other families who shared their positive experiences about Ambrose Solar that made us feel that we would be in great hands. We had FINALLY FOUND A PEACE about getting solar on our home; KNOWING we would be in good hands, and we were ALL IN. It's been six months now, and we are beyond pleased with our solar panels, and the two Tesla batteries we have purchased. We are true fans, who have NOTHING but RAVE REVIEWS for this company. If you don't have solar, or if you need to add solar, Kevin Bedard is your man! and Ambrose is your company. Every employee has been amazing and helpful. In a world where customer service has taken a dump, this company has remained a class act. So again...if you are considering solar, call Ambrose, and tell them Albert and Rhonda sent you.

I contacted Ambrose Solar. Arnolfo arrived at the stated time and had the system up and running in about an hour. The repair cost was very reasonable. I am highly impressed with the service I received from Ambrose Solar and I recommend them without hesitation.

    We can't say enough great things about our experience with our solar installation from Northstar…read moreSolar in Danville. From start to finish, we were so comfortable with every individual we interacted with. Our salesman, Patrick was no pressure, extremely helpful and very responsive. Danielle in the office was a joy and our project manager Jason was there for us all along the way. The install crew was phenomenal and completed the entire project in two days. We absolutely love having battery backup especially from 4 to 9 PM when PG&E charges the highest peak rate in the Continental U.S. California has the second-highest electricity rates in the U.S., (only behind Hawaii) which makes receiving power from the sun especially rewarding. If you are considering solar power, we highly recommend giving Northstar Solar an opportunity.

    Wow, I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and his team! I hired them to remove our 69 solar…read morepanels and reinstall them after a re-roofing of our home. It's a nerve wracking process but Ryan gave me reassurance things would go well. Upon Ryan's recommendation, we also decided to replace the solar panel racking system installed by Sunrun because we were plagued with roof leaks due to improper sealing of their footings. Ryan and the Northstar team were absolute champs at removing and reinstalling the new system for us. Everyone we dealt with was so professional, kind and easy going. The work was beautifully done and based on all the photos and detail provided by Ryan I am confident we will be safe from leaks going forward. He also had to coordinate the reinstall with our roofer and everyone handled it so well. I 100% recommend Northstar and the team for this task, and also wouldn't hesitate to hire them for roofing based on their strong work ethic and product with our solar project. The price was fair and in line with other quotes I'd received. A couple of questions unrelated to this particular job have come up and Ryan has gone above and beyond to help me out by providing his professional input. So happy with these guys. Thank you!

We very much appreciated all of the support we received from Mei, our operations manager, as we worked through city planning and electrical requirements. She responded to our questions and concerns within a few hours - and made arrangements for all the inspections required for our city.

    I couldn't be happier with my experience with Solar Sesame…read more My situation was a little more complicated than most because I already had an existing leased solar system under NEM 2 that I wanted to preserve. That meant my new system needed to be designed as a non-export system with battery storage. Before choosing Solar Sesame, I had already received three other quotes. My existing provider kept pushing another leased system where I'd continue paying per use. While it was cheaper than PG&E, it was significantly more expensive over the long run than owning the system myself. Another provider told me they couldn't fit enough panels on my roof to meet my energy needs and recommended much more expensive alternatives. A third provider quoted nearly 40% more than another installer for essentially the same system. Solar Sesame stood out immediately. They designed a system that fit all the panels I needed on my roof, met my energy goals, and came in at the best overall price. They also went above and beyond when the federal tax credit rules were changing. They were able to structure the project in a way that effectively preserved those benefits for me, which I really appreciated. Originally, I planned to install just one Tesla Powerwall. After doing more research, I decided I wanted two. I found a competitive online offer, and without any hassle, Solar Sesame matched it by adding the second battery at a heavily discounted price. That flexibility and willingness to work with me made a big impression. Throughout the entire project, the team was transparent, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. There were a few delays, but they were all related to the PG&E process rather than Solar Sesame. Now that everything is up and running, I'm extremely happy with the system. The installation looks great, my electric bills have been dramatically reduced, and I feel confident I chose the right company. If you're shopping around for solar, I highly recommend talking with Solar Sesame. They earned my business by offering the best combination of value, expertise, transparency, and customer service.
