I typically wouldn't even write a negative review but because my house was almost in shambles today, I really could no longer hold my tongue in this situation. We had very high hopes with solar system inc because they were kind, responsive, and clearly explained the process to us at the beginning. once the process started, there were one too many flaws that doesn't sit right with me. Long story short, we were explained one thing & when the electricians came, another was done. there was multiple shortcuts, attitude, and unhappiness revolving the entire process. We wanted two outlets in our garage but the electricians refused because we couldn't use both anyways. OBVIOUSLY, we know that we can't use both at the same time -- we're not STUPID cavemen who don't understand the concept of electricity. Because it was mentioned to us at the time of contract signing, we wanted to go through with it. You don't have to give us attitude & can explain to us in a nicer tone. My family is paying good money for solar, you can AT LEAST BE PROFESSIONAL if you want future business???? There was a lot of back and forth between us, Angie & the electricians and they finally gave in to install the outlet we wanted in the garage. After installation, surprise!!!, we failed first inspection (which I completely expected & we were reassured by Angie that this happens all the time because Sunnyvale is so strict & they mainly service San Jose which I then said, I am THANKFUL that our city is so strict and doesn't take "shortcuts") Since we failed first inspection, the electricians came back and gave us attitude as if we were the ones at fault for their job. To my knowledge, the homeowners have nothing to do with the inspection. If it fails, that's on the company to fix. We can't go out there and fix whatever the problem was. Months later, we passed inspection, thinking there would be NO MORE PROBLEMS & to be happy to be done with the solar process. Today was the big finale surprise. See attached photos. Yes, our breaker panel is old but that doesn't justify that the breaker the solar company installed, is ***ERODING*** 2 months of installation and that was because the ***WIRES FROM THE OVEN/KITCHEN GOING INTO THE BREAKER WERE LOOSE*** They installed this 40/30/30/40 Circuit breaker because there was not enough space for both the SOLAR and kitchen oven. So they replaced my to this new one. It obviously looks newer than the other breakers in my panel. I don't know anything about electricity but I'm pretty sure brand new breakers should not burn up and erode like this. Who knows what could've happened if we didn't discover this today. Hoping to get a resolution tomorrow since today was Easter... So happy Easter to us... read more

See all

Don't do with this company . My half solar did not work for 3 weeks . It's hard to make appointment with them . They canceled just 30 minutes appointment . They are so unprofessional . read more

I wanted to thank Angie and her team on my solar panel installation process. They finished on time and now I have my system turned on. I highly recommend solar systems inc if you want to move forward with solar panel. read more

We shop around a lot when we decided to get solar. We chose Solar System not only for their competitive price, but also for their responsiveness. They were very patient and took their time to explain how solar works. We actually learn a lot about electricity in this whole process. After getting solar for my primary resident, I like it so much that I went with Solar System again for parents' house. read more

Excellent experience with the solar installation done by Solar System Inc. at my property. Very professional from the start to the completion of the project. The solar sales part was clearly explained (no pressure), the permit process fast and the installation was quick, smooth and painless. Super experienced crew, especially Daniel for his attention to detail. Thanks. read more

I had a really old electrical panel (100 amp from 1964) at my home that needed to be upgraded too a new 200 amp panel before we did some renovations in the house. I sent out some requests for quote to 10 places. Solar System was really responsive and they were transparent about the process and they were able to schedule the job really quickly. I had some folks tell me it would be 2-3 weeks and several days. Came in the morning and finished by the afternoon. The crew did a great job with the installation and left a clean job site. Work passed inspection same day with final sign off the next day. read more

I looked into several companies for my solar installation and I decided on Solar System, Inc..  I rate them 10 out of 10, I highly recommend this company. Had an awesome experience working with their office team and installers.  They diligently worked with me from initial sale consultation, site walk, drawing, permitting, and final inspection.  The icing on the cake, solar installation inspection passed on first try and all happened within 3 weeks after signing up with Solar System, Inc.  They offer financing if you need to finance.   My system has been operational so far for two months - March/April 2022-  I can say, on sunny days, my panels produced more than what other companies said they were willing to put together for me.  Shame on them for not thinking out of the box.  So go with Solar System, Inc. if you are looking for solar panels. read more

We picked Solar System Inc. out of a few local vendors due to the recommendations from friends. We're so happy with them because of: - The Price is Right! - The service is outstanding! The system installed less than 10 days. - Super friendly people: from the Owner, Staff members, and the Technicians! They are totally customer focused company! Highly recommended company!!! read more

Probably the best service and value in the bay area with friendly and well trained staff. Daniel and his team communicated well, follows all COVID protocols and completed the tasks on time, as planned and with quality work as well. We were satisfied with the outcome. Overall, positive experience and great outcome. Keep up the good! read more

STAY AWAY!!! The installation was so bad, I had to hire another company to finish the job after the county inspector found a number of issues, including drilling holes in the electrical boxes and not clamping down the panels. I withheld payment and told them they have two weeks to get it fixed. Instead they just slapped a mechanic's lien on my home and won't return any of my emails, phone calls, certified letters, etc.. They also mismatched the panels to the micro-inverters so it is impossible for the system to produce the power they said it would in our contract. They screwed up the permit so many times I had to refile all the paperwork with the county myself. There were numerous other issues. You've been warned! read more

11/10 would recommend this company. They made the whole process so easy for my family and kept us informed about what they were doing along the way. I love how they also offer a variety of different solar panels to choose from, unlike some other companies that I've previously contacted that only offer one standard kind. If you're looking to go green and install solar, Solar System Inc is the way to go! read more

Worked with Gerald Prasad at Solar System Inc. And found him to be very responsive to my questions and project. They did a timely and fabulous job on our home in Walnut Creek, CA. They were very knowledgeable and honest about the different systems panel brands and Energy generation we could expect. Their follow up is great even as we approach a year after installation they are prompt with any request for information about how our system is performing. We have made sure to tell the people we know looking for a honest and reliable Company to call Gerald at Solar System Inc for a fantastic start to finish highly competitive Solar System without any hassles. read more

I would recommend Solar System Inc to anyone who is interested in getting Solar on their home. Their entire team was very professional from start to end. 5+++ stars!! read more

My family and I decided to go solar and after months and months of research we decided with a local company Solar System Inc. The company gives many options of product. We decided to go with LG and now the bill is only $10 a month! Installation was quick and simple! From the day we signed the contract to the day PG&E connected was only 33 days way before their promise date. I would definitely refer to friends and family. read more

Found these guys on Yelp. Began the whole process in early June, completed as of July 12. The installation was done on a Monday, Inspection on Tuesday, fully functional as of Wednesday. The longest wait was probably the permitting from the city but they took care of it all. Gave me a newer model of the panel for the same price as the older one. Thank you, Solar System team for pulling it all together so professionally! read more

Solar system, inc is a start up solar company that operates out of San Jose. I was very impressed by this company and their pre-sale experience. Our salesman, Thomas did a wonderful job in explaining the basic principles of solar energy to my husband and myself, as we are relatively new to solar industry and how it works. After signing the contracts and filling out the necessary paperwork, the instillation process went smoothly. Thomas, created a custom 5.5 KW system on the "sunniest" part of our roof, which was completed in about two days. After completion of the project Thomas and his manager/owner of the company Angie followed up with us to ensure that the overall project was finished to satisfaction. All in all solar system, inc did an exceptional job on my home. The installers were friendly, helpful, and ensured that they cleaned up after they were finished. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to switch to solar energy, and would also recommend signing up for a consultation (they really explain the ins and outs of solar) to get some useful information. Plus i did not get charged for the consultation:-) read more

The workers did an amazing job installing the panels for us and we're very satisfied with them.

Our old inverter finally died after 12 years and Solar System stepped in to install a new inverter to get us back up and running in short order. Office folks and service techs were very friendly, helpful, and timely. Strongly recommended! read more

Before calling Gerald at Solar Systems Inc. I had already had consultations from 3 other solar companies. Everyone was giving me the same numbers in regards to the size of the system that I was needing so I felt comfortable knowing that whoever I decide to go with, at least the system will give me what I would need in order to power my house equal to what I use from the grid. I won't use names but the first company that came out was very high tech with how they presented the system to me which I liked, but the consultant was way to much of a sales person and I was not comfortable with the pressure that was being put on me and the answers they were giving me sounded right out of a basic sales 101 textbook. If I want pre generated answers to all of my questions then I will just call my cable company. The next two were smaller companies however they didn't have much of a history record to show some good faith in why I should choose them, plus after learning what the latest and greatest equipment was out there they were just not showing me that I would be getting the best for the price. The forth company I reached out to was Solar Systems Inc. Gerald came over to my house and spoke to me very professionally and in a manner that didn't sound like a car salesman. He was patient with ALL of my questions and was able to show demonstrations of other systems that they installed in the past as well as what they were currently working on. The brands he was offering me were known names with great warranties too. Speaking to Gerald made my decision very simple. Once we signed the papers he was very quick to get all the permits and cross functional teams together so that the install would go smoothly. I can easily say the system was up and running about 1 month before I was expecting it to since I read a lot of stories online about solar companies having to wait a long time for their system to get turned on. Even though I purchased it in the winter (December) it has already generated power! I can't wait to see what it'll start generating once spring is here. I was so pleased with the entire purchase and install that we are now looking to put another system on another property. Here is the bottom line. There are a lot of good solar companies out there and I'm quite certain they will give you exactly (or close to) what you are wanting in a system. As for me I want more than a great system, I want the professionalism and knowledge that comes with it. And the point of contact that you have from whatever company you choose to go with should hopefully give you the same that Gerald and Solar Systems Inc. gave me. If you are looking for a great experience start to finish then I recommend calling Gerald. I'm certain he is growing a huge customer base with his honesty and compassion that comes with the job! read more

They are reliable business people that you can trust. The have great workers that knows how to install the system and completes it in a timely manner. The installation at my house was done within 3 days! Great team, trusted people! read more
