This is amazing. After getting three estimates from solar companies over the years, (beginning with $90,000, then $65,000 and finally $55,000) we contacted Sean at Solar Self Install. We had seen a neighbor with a system that SSI had installed and it was barely noticeable versus what the other companies we had received bids from had recommended. The other companies wanted to put this massive bank of panel on our roof, ruining the value of our property by destroying the view from our pool area, or they wanted to do these 6-9' tall ground mounted monsters that we would have to plant bushes around to hide. Sean at SSI came in with a bid that was a fraction of the others and with placement of the panels that were ground-level and almost invisible. No landscaping, no rooftop. It took about a month from grading to start-up, but when he was done (we are not "handy" - and had help with every step of the way) our bills went from about $600/month (all electric house, pool, office, 2 a/c units in the East County) to $15/month. We were able to take advantage of all the rebates, bringing our total investment to about $15K. With the other solar companies, by the time you are finished paying for the system, it is time to reinvest in more panels because yours have aged out of service. That is a rip-off. Don't let the numbers confuse you. If it does not make sense to you, it is not the right thing for you to do. Trust yourself, no the salesperson! I highly recommend Solar Self Install. All around, a great company, family, service and value. read more
