I had another great experience working w/ Steve Pariani and Solar Pro. This is my second home working with them - and he just makes the whole process so easy and seamless. Happy with the results and just the overall professionalism and attention to detail. Also, extremely responsive and the whole process took maybe a month ? Super fast .. The crew was great - and did a fine job of installing my 24 panels and battery back up system. Recommend highly and will use again as the need arises .. read more

We recently had Solar Pro Energy install solar on our home, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They came highly recommended in our community, and we quickly saw why. Unlike other installers we contacted, they actually took the time to visit our home in person and work with the challenges of our hybrid flat and slanted roof. They were also flexible with our summer travel schedule, finding the right time to complete the installation without disrupting our plans. Throughout the process, they were punctual, hardworking, and handled all of the necessary approvals for San Francisco, which gave us real peace of mind. Steve and the team were outstanding--patient, responsive, and clear in their explanations of the system. They installed 22 panels with microinverters, plus a Franklin battery and Enphase monitoring, and everything has been working smoothly since day one. The best proof came just a week later, when a full-day neighborhood power outage didn't affect us at all--we had seamless backup power the entire time. The whole experience has been a solid success, and we're very happy to recommend Solar Pro Energy to anyone considering solar. read more

Solar Pro installed solar panels, a battery and a new roof for us in October. Steve was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. Before providing the quote, he patiently explained the benefits of the equipment he recommended and how all of the pieces work together. He was sensitive to costs and aesthetics. We especially enjoyed learning how he used computer technology to decide the number and placement of the panels for the optimum return on our investment. The installers were very professional and respectful of our property. We are very happy with the outcome and highly recommend this company. read more

Steve is the best in the business. These guys are synonymous with top quality installation and are a pleasure to work with

Thank you Steve couldn't be happier . From start to end, seamless professional clean. Great crew. Very easy to work with great price great follow-through thank you. read more

Is it possible to give a company 6 stars instead of just 5? Steve at Solar Pro Energy Systems was our advocate and educator all the way through our solar journey. Great service and value for money. Steve was transparent about all the factors we needed to consider (system size, budget, actual benefit, etc.) as well as demystifying how the entire process works, and then making sure we got through that process. We were worried about the city's permitting process, but Steve took care of all that in short order. It turns out the only actual issue was with our electric company, who were properly and expediently notified, but then failed to approve our operation in a timely manner. When Steve investigated this, he found it was a lapse on the electric company's part, and promptly urged them to complete their part of the process, attaching all necessary paperwork as an additional reminder. We are now in business! For those of you who are tired of paying $$$$ to **that gas and electric company** we all use, give Steve a call. He'll help you declare your energy independence. read more

Solar Pro was top notch from start to finish. Steve went over everything in detail when we originally met with him. Solar Pro completed a roof overlay and installed solar panels and a storage battery. In addition, they repaired some rotting fascia. Having a spanking new roof prevented Safeco from cancelling our homeowner's policy. Steve also responded quickly to emails and phone calls. Solar Pro employees are knowledgeable and professional. read more

I gotta say that Steve and his crew did a flawless job adding solar to our home. He was thorough, honest, and fair in his bid. He saw that we have a TPO roof and let us know that he will need to bring in a roofer that specializes in TPO roofs to put a boot over the bolts holding the framing to my roof, so we don't get leaks. The other big solar company we got a bid from said nothing about that. Also, when I calculated the cost per panel, Solar Pro was better priced! Steve took care of everything from drawing up the plans, getting city permits, working with PG&E, and passing the final inspection. His team also noticed that the flashing the prior roofing company put down had rusted through. Steve was able to help out and get a reasonable bid from the roofing company that he works with to replace the flashing with one that was protected with a TPO covering. Our solar is up and running as stated, and our roof is protected. If you want professional installation of your solar panels, contact Steve and go with Solar Pro! read more

Solar Pro Energy Systems - Solar Pro's work with a view of Daly City. - Solar Installation Near Me

Could not be more impressed from start to finish. Took one month from contract to installation and contract was just before Christmas. Made process super easy, patient with my questions and followed up quickly when we needed the EV outlet rotated to accommodate the charger. Highly recommend! read more

We had our solar panels installed in July 2024. Steve Pariani was fantastic. We had 3 bids but Steve was the only one who came to our house. He thoroughly explained the entire process. His communication skills were excellent throughout the project. He never disappeared ! His crew was polite and on time. During any project things come up that need to be addressed. Steve was always available for questions or concerns. If you are considering purchasing solar panels we highly recommend Steve Pariani - Solar Pro Energy Systems. You wont regret it. Thank you Steve! read more

Got solar & battery installed. The whole process took about 2 months from initial meeting to being operational. I was super impressed with how knowledgeable Steve was, how fast everything went, the fact that there were no surprises, how professional everyone was, and how responsive Steve has been. Steve even remembered to bring the mounting bracket along with a letter from the shingles manufacturer saying the lifetime warranty on my new roof will not be void using this specific bracket. The pricing was slightly better than other alternatives I explored. Would highly recommend. read more

Proficient and professional, Steve has been top notch from start to finish. Clear communications throughout the process, prompt installation and follow through per schedule. The crew has been very courteous around the house, mindful that it is my home rather than a construction site. Solar and especially battery installation always requires a custom as every house is different. Solar Pro skillfully navigated all those challenges, and did an amazing job designing and building the right system for my house. read more

When we were looking for solar we did a lot of research and looked at a lot of reviews. Solar Pros stood out amongst the larger companies we found and, upon first contact by phone, our impression was that Steve (owner) was incredibly responsive, professional, and communicated clearly, forging oa trusting relationship from the start. Not even a week later we set up a meeting to discuss the project and the estimate after having sent Steve some basic PG&E data, which he explained how to access. During our meeting Steve set out a plan for our solar project and was clear and willing to answer any questions or go into detail for us when we wished. At one point I brought up battery installation and, although it surely would have made the project bigger, Steve recommended holding off based on it not being realistic for our needs. This made us feel that he was honest and had our best interest in mind. The process of permitting and the setup with PG&E was seamless and completed before the estimated timeframe. The project passed the inspection without any problem. All the employees we interacted with were friendly, approachable, and professional. We highly recommend Solar Pros to anyone considering adding solar! read more

Solar Pro Energy Systems - Solar Installation Near Me

Steve Pariani was such a pleasure to work with! He's honest and professional - Delivered on everything promised and set expectations clearly. He's responsive - Promptly answered all of my questions via email/phone/text and provided timely communication throughout every phase of the project. He's reliable - Took care of managing PG&E, city permits, electricians, installers, etc. I appreciated the fact that he was my single point of contact while he handled all of the nitty gritty details. Im also impressed with the solar energy system he installed as I can easily track my solar production using the Mobile app. read more

Steve at Solar Pro majorly over-delivers! First, some stats: - 36 days from signed contract to PG&E permission to operate. Contract signed: March 4. System installed: March 25. Permission to operate: April 9. Solar Pro had estimated project inspection on April 23 plus 1-2 weeks for PG&E approval. - +26.7% better than expected April production (849.1 kWh actual vs 670 kWh estimated). Now, the long story: Steve's pitch is that Solar Pro is definitely the fastest, he likes to think they are among the best, but will definitely not be the cheapest, and the service we received lived up to this claim. We decided to install solar a few months after moving into a single-family home after living in an SF condo for many years. One of the challenges that arose from this is that we didn't have a full year's worth of energy bills (which some installers prefer to work with when making proposals). From the moment we reached out, Steve was by far the most responsive of anyone we were working collecting quotes from and was happy to take the data we had and feed it into software that would estimate our usage for the months we didn't have data for. I got quotes from Tesla, a few online quotes via EnergySage, and from a few higher-end local firms found via word-of-mouth, Glassdoor, and Yelp (I found Solar Pro on Yelp). The last category was the most expensive but also had the most consistent positive reviews. The credible bids via the online platform came in at around 80-85% the cost of the first category, while Tesla came in at around 66% of the cost. Across the board, the solar business is extremely busy right now, which meant that even the most expensive category had installation times 6-12 weeks out from the time a contract was signed. It was important for us to get this installed ASAP so that we could benefit from solar production before we started needing to use our air conditioner regularly. Tesla is notorious for slow timelines - multiple friends have had strange experiences with them, including one whose panels were installed a few weeks before we even signed with Steve and finally received permission to operate from PG&E in mid-May! The low-price options still end up working the vast majority of the time, it's just a question of how much time and effort the buyer wants to put in to move the process along - in this case, we wanted a relatively hands off experience to very specific standards and felt a higher priced option would more directly address our need. Even the other firms at the highest price tier were only able to commit to similarly long timelines. We picked Solar Pro based on Steve's commitment to making this happen much more quickly, which we were pleased to see he overdelivered on. While going over Steve's proposal, he came over and discussed all the details, including very specific questions about the hardware, and even showed us the mounting hardware that would go on our roof. He also walked through our yard (and crawlspace) to come up with an installation plan that would work for our particular case where the solar panels are on the opposite side of the house from the service panel, and where there is an accessible paved crawlspace that could be used to hide the conduits. Steve paid close attention to aesthetic details such as the location of the conduit and even had his crew paint the metal conduits to match the siding of our house. Steve even went the extra mile to get us some advice from someone in his network on a carpentry project we were considering doing in the same area the solar panels were going in. I really appreciate the attention to detail and high standards for the workmanship - it really reflected well in the final product. Even when there was a minor hiccup due to COVID-related online permit printout not initially being accepted by PG&E, Steve kept us in the loop, went to bat for us, and quickly got the issue resolved. I do have to note that, at least at the moment, Solar Pro uses subcontractors for the actual installation which I suppose someone could go with directly, but the value of Solar Pro was in delivering the project to our very high standards on a super tight timeline, which appears to be quite rare in this industry. As a result I have no hesitation recommending Solar Pro and Steve wholeheartedly! read more

See all

Steve and his team were great. I requested a quote for a battery because my area has frequent power outages. He recommended a solar system plus battery. His presentation for the quote was very enthusiastic and he gave a lot of details about the equipment he would be using. His installation team did the work perfectly and on schedule, and everything was hooked up and working as he had committed. He's been great at answering questions and getting me started. I would definitely recommend the company to anybody in the south bay or coastside who is considering solar. read more

I had a great experience working with Steve and his team. Steve was very engaged through the entire process, and is an excellent communicator. He was the only solar contractor that actually took measurements of my roof before giving me an estimate (the other contractors I got quotes from relied on google maps) and he gave me a detailed quote, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. On the day of the install his team arrived on time, they explained to me precisely what would happen, and worked quickly. They even took pictures for me so I could see how the install turned out. Steve also was great working with the inspectors and efficiently got my solar network fully connected with the grid. I didn't need to get involved and was surprised how easy everything was. I highly recomment Solar Pro Energy Systems! read more

My wife and I built a new house and it was required that we install solar. I was not enthusiastic about this requirement that would cost me, and I wasn't planning on installing it otherwise. So I found Steve on Yelp because he had great ratings. After talking with him I realized solar could help me more than I expected, especially if I planned on getting an electric car in the future. So we went with a bigger system than what was required by CA code. Steve was very clear and responsive the whole way through the process, and his installers did a great job. They used a high quality mount that was better than other jobs I've seen on new houses. PGE took a really long time to finalize it, but Steve was patient and promptly submitted the PGE paperwork when it was time. His price seemed very fair, and I would certainly recommend him. read more

I waited a few months before leaving this review just to live with the panels and see if any issues arose. So now I can say with confidence, Steve and Solar Pro are AMAZING. I did a ton of research and talked to different companies prior to choosing them, and they aren't the CHEAPEST but they also aren't the most expensive. But here's the thing: Steve himself is the key here. He is a true master of this stuff, really easy to work with, and he's local which means incredibly responsive to questions and really flexible. We had a 10kwh Enphase system with two Enphase batteries installed. His crew finished the job quickly and professionally and they were wonderful about considering the aesthetics and layout of the wiring, batteries, and other components. And months later, his predictions of our energy production were spot on (we even slightly exceeded them). He was really helpful walking through SGIP and other admin issues, and honestly it was a joy to work with him and his crew. Even months later if I email him a question, he responds quickly and helpfully. Contrast this to Tesla installs or national/chain companies (from what my friends tell me). Truly a pro! read more

Steve and his team did an amazing job. Couldn't be happier with the level of service and engagement. Everything was easy. We have had no issues with the equipment and work done almost a year later. Highly recommend Solar Pro and Steve in particular. read more

Working with Steve was great. I had gotten solar for my home from a large solar corporation and was very unhappy with the lack of customer service. When I needed solar for my commercial building, I reached out to a few solar companies and I was impressed with how organized and competent Steve was. From the first meeting to installation and completion it was a very smooth project. We have a clay / cement tile roof at the office and he was able to install the solar panels (50 panels) no problem and without damaging any of the tiles. The system is up and running now and was approved by PGE within a couple of weeks of installing. If you are looking to add solar I highly recommend Solar Pros and Steve. read more

I recently had the pleasure doing business with the owner Steve P., I cannot stress the level of communication and honesty that went into working with Steve. For anyone who is considering choosing a company to work with for solar, save yourself time and potential headaches by going with Solar Pro Energy Systems. Thank you Steve! read more

After looking into different Solar companies, we chose Steve and we truly appreciate his expertise. The process was easy and he was always available for questions and concerns we have. The installation went smoothly and everyone that came to work for us did a great job. read more

I've had solar installed for over a month and it's been working great. Steve is a pleasure to work with. He took the time to go over the entire process and answer all my questions. I saw that he has other great reviews on Yelp and they are well deserved. I wanted to make sure that if there were issues down the road that Steve would still treat me like a current customer and his other reviews show that he is still there to help. I'd highly recommend him and Solar Pro. read more

Solar Pro did an awesome job on our home's solar. Steve was able to answer all of my questions about panels, inverters, batteries, etc. and then showed me a ton of information to help me decide to move forward with Solar Pro. He was even able to install earlier than anticipated! And while PGE gave us a hard time, Steve and his crew worked diligently with PGE and our local city permitting office to get everything squared away and now we are generating power without relying as much on dirty energy! Not to mention the panels and hardware Solar Pro uses are much more aesthetically pleasing (all black with no visible lines in the panels) to the competitors! If you're considering solar for your home, give Steve at Solar Pro a call and you won't be disappointed! read more

We could not be happier with Steve and Solar Pro Team for the installation of our solar panels. We were so impressed with Steve's professionalism and solar industry expertise after our first meeting; we didn't even bother to consider other companies for comparison estimates. From our first meeting with Steve to when the system was turned on, Steve kept us informed on each phase of the installation. Before our initial meeting, Steve completed a thorough analysis of our electrical needs; present & future, to enable him to configure the most optimal panel configuration for our house, i.e. type of roof, exposure to sun, orientation of house, future electrical usage, etc. We have friends whose installers didn't do this critical analysis and ended up with systems that were inadequate. The whole project was seamless and hassle free from start to finish as Steve handled everything, i.e. permits, inspections & coordination with PGE. Email and phone communications with Steve were always responded to expeditiously. The project was completed on time, with only a minor hiccup that was beyond Solar Pro's control. Without any reservations, we highly recommend Steve and Solar Pro. read more

Solar Pro did an amazing job on my solar and batteries. Steve is knowledgeable, responsive, and very easy to work with. The entire process was seamless and professional. We had our initial meeting on 10/4 and PG&E approved to turn on the system on 12/20. If you are considering solar and battery storage, give Steve a call. read more

Steve P provides an all-in-one service for new roofing and solar panels. His planning methods are data driven, right down to checking satellite photos to see where tree shadows fall throughout the day. He set expectation for exactly what would happen at each stage, and delivered as promised. His team was thoroughly professional and did the little details like painting at the margins where the new smart meter was installed and keeping the satellite dish working throughout. The power system is performing to spec, has great monitoring tools, and I couldn't be happier with the result. read more

I really enjoyed working with Steve. He did a great job installing solar on our house. He was efficient, knowledgeable, kind, and overall one of the best contractors I have worked with in any field. His operation and quality of work, to include customer service, were first class all the way. read more

Steve and team did a great job. I appreciated the attentive consultation and really walking through the various options and what made the most sense for our situation. Installation and follow-up was also very professional. Highly recommended. read more

Saw all the great feedback on Solar Pro. The last review (8/2022) was from someone in Millbrae which is near where I live. I called a few weeks back and again last week. Both times left messages on the voicemail. Tried again today before moving on to other companies and found the mailbox full. No message that they are on vacation or any other reasons. Now wondering if these review are real. read more

I've been looking into solar for a couple of years now, and went through many avenues to find my installer. EnergySage, Yelp, friends, etc... Solar Pro had some really good reviews from folks on NextDoor, so I reached out. From the first call, to the initial on-site visit, all the way through from start to finish, Steve was amazing. He took the time to explain everything and answer any questions I had.. whether that be via phone, text, or email. I like the fact that when you go with Solar Pro, you aren't getting some regional person... you work with Steve exclusively. I would highly recommend Steve and Solar Pro to anyone without hesitation. read more

Knowledgeable, professional, diligent, honest, reliable and fast. I had been wanting to put PV panels on my roof for 10 years. I have spoken to half a dozen companies in that time. I have a clay tile roof so many of these companies didn't want to touch it. The ones who did, described various installations that were dubious at best and damaging to the roof at worst. When I interviewed Steve, it was obvious that he didn't get into solar installation to make a quick buck on the latest fad and he actually cares about the result and his customers' satisfaction. He knows solar energy and the various products, but he also understands construction and roofs. He described the installation method that I had wanted, without my suggesting it, and gave me a few options within the range of possibilities. He analyzed my electricity usage over the past years and designed a system that would meet my needs. I have 400 amp service and 2 electric cars. He got it all to fit in a relatively small space. He knew and told me up front that they would break some tiles (inevitable) and didn't try to hide that fact. He ordered extra tiles and replaced the ones that were broken with better ones than were original. The installation went quickly and on time. As the racks were being installed, Steve called me to tell me that because of my roof's original, non-standard installation, The mounts that we chose did not allow the tiles to sit back down all the way and they didn't look as good as they could. He suggested a change to mounting system and had it installed the next day. My new solar panels are great and the roof looks and works great. Steve has called/texted me a number of times to make sure I am happy, he has even sent guys over to make last minute tweaks and cosmetic improvements even after I sent him the final check. It was a big decision to make (it only took 10 years) and I am super happy with my choice. read more

Solar Pro Energy Systems were a pleasure to work with for the project at hand. The interaction with Steve and his employees were easy and completed with absolute faith that there weren't any issues that wouldn't and couldn't be addressed properly. Steve's knowledge of the panels, output were pivotal in making the correct decision and design for us. I appreciate his ability to advise the correct use of panels based on efficiency and costs. From coordinating the local utility and city permits, the process was easy and the neighbors love the look! Steve and his staff are a pleasure to work with and I have complete faith that should any issues or questions come up, they will be available for support! I highly recommend Solar Pro Energy Systems read more

From initial contact to being able to use our system, it took Steve less than 2 months. Steve is very knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and very easy to work with. Highly recommended. Our system has been running for about 6 months now and is working better than estimated. We have had 0 issues. read more

We had an exceptionally smooth solar installation that included some extra carpentry repairs, a new skylight and the upgrade of an ancient electric panel. Steve and his team are on it--they do what they say they will do, when they say they will do it and come in on budget. What more can you ask for? read more

Just did a solar installation with Steve. While Steve's quotes were a bit higher than the other contractors we received quotes from, we went with him because he took a lot of time to throughly answer all our questions. The work was done extremely professionally and methodically. Everything happened on time. It was a hassle free experience, and hence strongly recommend Steve. read more

Steve is awesome and VERY customer centric and a perfectionist. We had a really great experience

We recently had Solar Pro install a solar panel and battery system for our house in Marin. Learning about solar energy and researching the different options can be daunting, but working with Steve and his team made the whole process very easy. Steve is extremely knowledgeable about renewable energy and knows how to explain it to help his clients understand how it all works. Most importantly, as every house is unique, his analysis of your specific energy needs and production capability will ensure that you get the appropriate size system. We're loving our new solar panel system and back up battery! read more

Never received a callback to get an estimate or quote for my old roof. Customer service could be better.
