Petersen Dean put my autistic son and I through hell since November 2, 2016. There are FOUR Citations against Petersen Dean posted on the Contractors State Licensing Board. After the judge in BC661819 told Petersen Dean that I am entitled to a trial by jury and Petersen Dean failed to scare me out of going to trial, Petersen Dean asked for a dismissal. The repairs on our house were never completed and when I prayed for help, the heavy rains came in early 2019 and revealed the new roof is leaking. The old roof never leaked. I guess it is good the rains came and revealed the leak but what I had in mind when I was praying for help was a law firm coming to our rescue so my son and I don't have to battle this nightmare alone anymore. The least I can do is warn you not to let this happen to your family. Don't work with a company who has Citations at CSLB and who illegally brokers PACE financing HERO/RENOVATE AMERICA financing also known as property tax financing. Only millionaires fit in the tax bracket where property taxes pay major portions of the home repair. These companies know you are not in that tax bracket but they also know you will have signed off and a year will pass before you find out and face a balloon payment that may cause you to lose your house to a county tax assessors foreclosure sale. Learn from our ordeal. Be safe. Warn your elderly parents because the elderly are often targeted with this home repair. Update: Petersen Dean closed their Case BC661819 to avoid going before a jury. They removed the two Mechanics Liens that they had been using to try to cover up and bury the property tax financing scam they brokered without a license for HERO/RENOVATE AMERICA. They attempted to take away the home of a 65 year old lady and her 35 year old autistic son to cover up the scam and financial fraud crimes. read more

An update on my solar production. See photos for proof. During the process of signing up, PetersenDean guaranteed me that I would produce about 458 kWh for the month of March 2017. I was surprised when I ended up producing 592 kWh!!! That's about 30% more than they advertised for me. As of April 2017, I'm suppose to have a net metering of 157 kWh and I am actually exceeding that by A LOT! I have an excess of 425 kWh net metered! For this month in April 2017, I'm supposed to produce around 554 kWh but I'm on track to produce closer to 700 kWh. I'm stoked about this because it's awesome how much more I can do with this free power! Request Armando Pacheco as your sales rep. This guy was straight forward and continues to provide me with feedback long after I've purchased my system. Great service! read more

Lousy customer service dishonest about getting down payment back told me when I came out of pocket for $8000.00 dollars I would get it back on my taxes but you only get it back if you have a tax liability. Also installed unit in June 2017 I was making monthly payments had my a c blasting everyday during the summer got three large bills PetersenDean then informed me they hadn't turned on system because I needed a fence around system was never told this before they also told me I had three days to get it installed. After some complaining they offered to give back $3000.00 towards you the out of pocket expense but would not refund for the three months of electric bills or anything for the installation of the fence. The system itself is great but like some used car salesmen very dishonest just to make a sell read more

My solar experience started when I had a door to door solar salesman come to my house (not Petersen Dean). After getting educated about solar and receiving quotes from many companies, I chose to go with Brent Payne from Petersen Dean. He really is a straight shooter, honest about what my needs really are, and didn't try to up sell me. Now today, my system is up and running! They have been very attentive to every detail through the process and if I even hinted at not being fully satisfied along the way, my guy Brent jumped into action to make sure everything was taken care of. I am extremely pleased with the way all the components were installed. A VERY clean job (shout out to Charlie and his crew). I had a great experience with Petersen Dean installing my Solar/ Battery backup system, and definitely would recommend them to my family and friends. In fact, I am currently pursuing a quote for my business! read more

This review is for Larry Cohan and PetersenDean Solar and Roofing. I belong to several networking group to enhance my brand and do business. When I met "The Super Solar Guy" Larry Cohan, I was very impressed how many people knew him and liked him. So, I spoke with him about being a power partner in business. But, what really impressed me most was he was the real deal and knew what he was talking about and that was imperative for me before I recommended him to my clients and network. The feedback I received from the people i recommended were also very impressed. I am glad to say I know larry and would recommend him to anyone want great service, knowledge and the best company offering superior products. Thanks Larry Cohan read more

My wife and I had a great experience with Tom Semark of Peterson Dean. We had talked to a few other companies, and decided to go with Solar 4 America. Tom was great at explaining everything, answered all of our questions, and was very patient and helpful. After a few months I was knocked off line (because I had to redo something) that same day we received an email from Tom advising us our system was off line and someone was out the very next day. Tom was recommended to us by my mother who also got her solar them. Our electric bill went from approximately 5,200$/ per year to anywhere from 2.49-10.00$ per month. I am more than satisfied with solar for American and Tom Semark. Great service and I recommend them to everyone. Sincerely, Charles and Dayna Moore read more

BEWARE!! PetersenDean is unscrupulous and unethical !! They took payment in full of over $22k in Dec 2019 for a solar panel installation project on my home and still have not even scheduled install. They agreed to provide full refund and then filed chapter 11 and listed me as a debtor!!! now I must hire legal counsel to recover my funds. I called them today 6-29-20 and they are still taking orders for new business..... Disgusting business practices!!!! read more

Very happy with my new roof and solar system. As always, Tom Semark and the PetersenDean team have been very professional and very responsive. Tom took care of my request for information for my tax return by the afternoon of my call. It was accurate and compete. He even included the tax form to submit the info to the IRS. Couldn't ask for more! I would highly recommend them! True professionals! Thank you! read more

This is the second time I have used petersendean for a reroofing project and they were awesome. Being the owner of many properties across California finding an honest and reliable roofing company can be a real challenge, boy do I have some horror stories of other firms I have used in the past. Petersendean was honest, reliable and very competitive. I purchased a new shingle roof and without me even asking they knocked five percent off of the price because I am over 50?. I love these guys. Thanks again Matt and all of the great work you have provided for me. read more

Started out a bit rocky, but overall results and end results are excellent. After a few months of official usage, I can say the system met my expectations. I upgraded to using microinverters with the Enphase system and that was proven to be a good move. The monitoring of the system and where each panel have their own little inverter that individually produces power and not all your eggs in 1 basket is a nice to have feature. I was also able to see which panel didn't perform to my level of expectancy and PD immediately sent someone out to fix issue. The after sales support is excellent. I would definitely recommend. My sales rep was Dave and he follow up with my inquiries and concerns even months after I already had the system up and running. read more

I wanted to take a brief moment and recognize someone by name: Ben This guy was at my house all day on a Saturday and a Sunday. All day. Like eleven to twelve hours. He was busting his b-u-t-t. But here is the thing: He spent a ton of time answering all my questions. And I had a lot of questions. My experience with this company, and specifically with Ben, was outstanding I highly recommend them for your roofing needs and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Please message me with any questions. read more

I called this joke of a company for a quote and they never called me back. Listen to this guy's ads... He sounds like a used car salesman...Never Never Again...he outright Bashes the competition.... The first thing you learn in sales is to not bash the competition and call people back. Well you are doing so well that you don't need my business and my friends business, all the people I know, etc. In this world I am a connected person and I refer business to companies all day.... You can hear this guy's arrogance in his advertising...He will never work on my house.... Never Never read more

I wish there was a way to leave negative stars. We had first used Petersen Dean in July of 2016 to install a 36-panel solar system. We were very impressed with their work. Our sales rep (Doug Hein) was communicative and prompt. For the most part, the project went off without a hitch. The only item was the need to replace the main panel with a "center-fed" panel; a $4,000 requirement which couldn't be explained as our existing 200-amp panel was only a year old. But since Petersen Dean wouldn't touch our system without the new panel, we went ahead with the replacement. Fast forward to May of 2017 when we had some questions on our panel configurations. When I contacted Petersen Dean and asked for Doug, I was told he was no longer with the company. The salesperson they gave us as a replacment had to be one of the most smarmy, elusive and arrogant individuals it has ever been my displeasure to meet. He would not give us a straight answer on any question. And when I called the main office twice to get another salesperson, they never called us back. Today, we're in the process of putting a solar system on a house we're renovating. In the hopes of using Petersen Dean, I called them to make sure we're installing the correct electrical panel. The 500 lb. gorilla who took my call couldn't answer my panel questions, and refused to forward me to someone who could. He told me until the house was fully built, he couldn't tell me what panel would be a best fit. I told him I didn't want to put in the wrong panel only to be told 9 months from now that it had to be replaced. He told me there was nothing he could do, and proceeded to hang up on me. Petersen Dean: Thank you for slimming down my vendor options by one. It amazes me that you would want to walk away from a $50,000 cash solar installation (40+ panels), and a potential new roof installation as well. But more power to you. Best of luck in your future endeavors. read more

I stand corrected! I was contacted by a representative from Peterson Dean and they appeared mortified by the situation. I agreed to reschedule an appointment for Saturday 1/28/2017 at 1200. Gary Spicer ( a different Gary) and a regional manager, Ambrish Batheja were at my address as scheduled. They apologized profusely for the miscommunication and did everything in their power to not only remedy the prior issue, but to make me feel that my business matters. I truly appreciated their professionalism and honesty. I ended up signing a contract and moving forward with a re-roof. This is the type of professionalism that is lacking in this day and age. The customer isn't always right! However, when a company does everything they can to fix a "negative" and make into a "positive", they should be commended. Well done gentlemen! I hope that the remainder of the process will be as pleasant as today. read more

From start to finish, PetersenDean has provided and maintained a level of customer service that is second to none. From the first contact made and to the final, they provided excellent customer support for all my solar needs and questions. My first contact with the sales representative was with MIKE SHANHOLTZER. He was very friendly, informative and most important, he gave no sales pressure in making a decision to buy at that moment (even after spending about an hour going over the details of possibly deciding to go solar). Which to me, is the first sign of confidence that the company is providing the best product and overall value of what they are selling. He gave honest upfront pricing and discounts. He also provided options for financing. Once the decision was made to go with PetersenDean, he laid out the details of what to expect during the process and a real world expectation of the timeline (which I really appreciated). The next person I came in contact with, was AVELINE ALAGUENA, my Project Coordinator. She stayed on top of things and kept me well informed. She was my point of contact for the rest of the time, which was nice to have, because who wants to call customer service and have to explain your details every time a question should come up with a different person every time? But what was also nice, was the Customer Portal website Aveline gave me, which PetersenDean provides for up to date information on where your project is at that moment, along with the timeline, explanation and time frame expected for each step of the process (which has a lot of moving pieces and not all under the control of PetersenDean). To me, that Customer Portal website PetersenDean provides to monitor your status, was probably the best thing for everyone involved, since the waiting is probably the worst part (along with paying for it), after deciding to go with solar. I was able to check it if I felt time was dragging, which also kept me from bugging Aveline from constantly checking for updates due to my impatience. It kept me aware that the wait was within the time frame of what was expected from the beginning. After meeting with MIKE, the site survey was scheduled and completed within 2 weeks. The site survey technician was very courteous, helpful and efficient (I wish I remembered his name). Once the city granted approval for the system, the install came very quickly. CHARLIE and his crew did an excellent job with the install. He made sure all my questions were answered and that I was more than satisfied with the job he and his crew did. He really made an effort to ensure that I had no concerns with the install, which I didn't. Final inspection was done with the City without a problem and ANDREW from PetersenDean set up the monitoring and again, great customer service. The Permission To Operate was then given by Edison within a weeks time from the final inspection. I did have to call back to see about installing the consumption monitoring part of the system and AVELINE was able to arrange for another Technician to come out and complete that part of the install, which did not interrupt the service of the now operating solar panels. ULYSSES came out and was also very helpful, knowledgeable and informative. The actual time it took from the initial site survey to the Permission to Operate from Edison was approximately 1 month! Faster than expected with everyone involved. I think the best advice for anyone deciding to go with PetersenDean, is to make yourself available for each of the project needs, as soon as they offer you an available date (if your able to). By doing so, I believe the project will go so much faster than expected. Thank you PetersenDean and thank you to all those I've mentioned in making solar a reality for my home. read more

I just finished getting my Solar working. I worked with Jason McCormick as the sales person and Connie Christensen was the project manager. My roof had been rejected by SolarCity, SunSolar and others. My roof was not correct for their style of Solar panels. Petersen Dean found an option and worked with me to resolve any issues. I have 8 panels divided by 3 one one part of the roof and 5 on the other part. Jason and Connie kept me informed about each step and how long it would take and what to expect. The last 2 steps were not in their control: Culver City inspector and SCE, but they were handled very quickly. From the start to the end, it took about 2 months. The process was seamless. The equipment is American made and rated top quality. I recommend to everyone to get a quote from Petersen Dean. They keep the cost down by working with you over the phone and over the internet (e-mail). A technician came out once the design was made to make sure it would work and the laws were followed. He tested the sun strength. The technician who tested the system showed me that it was doing better than expected. I expect that number to go down in the Winter months. If you want to purchase the solar panels (and there are many reasons to do so), call them. read more

Don't be fooled by lack of power generation in winter.. Now only generating 8 to 10kwh per day vs 20 to 24 in summer. I racked uo $180 in credits with Edison and now eating into it. . Days are 4 hours of less sunlight plus cloudy and overcast days are kwh generation killers.... read more

We interviewed 10 companies for purchase of a solar system before deciding on Petersendean. They were the best combination of price, quality and warranty. Rich Bruce did an excellent job on the presentation bid and followthrough. They explained the steps in the process and were very professional in the project management and install. Approvals were timely and there was no issue. Very happy with the process. We would highly recommend the company for a solar solution. read more

This guy was so arrogant on the phone to me, first he assumed my boss "was a man", she's a woman, then tries to explain his male chauvinistic view as just being "generic". The following is my response to his email down below, so start by reading his first, please. I was just going to let this BAD experience go. Mark, you should of gone away quietly. Mark, Please share this email with your supervisor, I insist. Your email is funny. I called you and 4 other companies the same day. ALL 4 companies have been here already. Waiting on the final quote that has been promised to me by tomorrow. I don't know where you get your "facts", but I don't do business with folks who traffic is "alternative facts". So a call from me will never come. Bye boy bye, Betsey M Hi Betsey, once you realize no one else will visit you sooner than 120 days, please call. Sooner you get on the waiting list the better. With all the storms out in Florida and Houston area, most roofers have gone where the work is. As we are the largest private contractor, we have our workers still in the area.

I have been trying to get hold of this company to have them out to update their product. No answer. Went to BBB they didn't answer them either. I would not refer them. My next step after the holidays is to go to the Contractors license Board. Maybe even the channel 4 news. read more

Let's see, where do I start with this Petersen Dean Solar Company where they lure potential solar customers, INCLUDING BIT NOT LIMITED TO up selling equipment including upgrading electrical panels to accommodate THEIR EQUIPMENT and charging YOU the CUSTOMER. Also, in the middle of the contractual process, they did a quick bait n switch on the solar panels from SOLAR WORLD TO MISSION SOLAR panels which I investigated and recently found out are less quality and cheaper for Petersen Dean Solar bit of course they won't tell you this. Also don't be fooled by the 30% tax credit they try to sell you on that Petersen Dean Solar says will reduce your total solar loan with that amount rolled into the total solar project amount which is also deceiving (sugar coating) another words what they say you will be getting as apposed to what you will actually be getting is a wrong way to do to the novas solar purchaser. On top of all their deceiving sales pitch was the real deal killer to me , is that I was promised I was going to have the project done within the NET METERING TIME LINE (July 1st) so they give you the rush act on this DOCU SIGN PROCESS over the net so they can use this against you without actually taking the time in meeting with you the client which for then is less overhead, hassle and to sign sign and resign with DOCU SIGN changing , revising , up selling electric panels making you the client pay to accommodate their solar system. Then when the loan docs come in (not yet signed) including but not limited to the NET METERING TIME LINE (July 1st won't be done) and other things aren't what we Originally agreeing too then they (PETERSEN DEAN SOLAR) come back with WAIT , you have to sign the loan documents because you signed this and that on DOCU SIGN) and if I cancel for whatever reason even before I have signed the loan documents , PETERSEN DEAN SOLAR NOW want to charge me a $$11,000.00 cancellation fee....Hmmmmm this company (PETERSEN DEAN SOLAR) the company you want to go with for your FIRST SOLAR EXPERIENCE ????. Because I was promised this and that including NOT GETTING ON THE NET METERING TIMELINE (JULY 1ST) as promised I would , instead they want to send me an $$11,000.00 cancellation fee. This is not going to stop here and I intend to take this higher than they will ever imagine including contacting the SEIA (solar energy industries association) , BBB, ATTORNEY GENERAL including but not limited to an attorney specializing in this type of shabby business practices . Petersen Dean Solar, I didn't know you were that desperate to keep potential customers on the hook even when your client is not happy with the switch here and switch there just to name a few......beware people with that commercial on tv they try to sell You on too, never got those incentives either saying they already put the discount in the deal....JESUS. Stay tuned for further actions in regards to my unsatisfactory service experience I have received ....... read more

I'm ready to buy a 8-10k Solar system. Called 3 other solar vendors, all were quick to respond. Called Petersen Dean and am told I won't be able to speak to sales person for 3 weeks. That's unreasonable, and If you're that disorganized for the sales cycle, I can't possibly trust you for the installation or long term support. I told the guy I'm not a tire kicker, and ready to buy now, "sorry" was the answer. Unbelievable. Going with someone else that actually wants my business. read more

Peterson and dean I heard him for solar panels their installers did a beautiful job paying it all the conduit's made it look match to the house the roof I really recommend him installers I give a five star rating And I do recommend these guys to anybody what reads this message do you want to go wrong read more

Peterson Dean did exactly as they said they would do. They kept me informed as to the ongoing process of installing the solar panels. They answered all of my questions on a timely basis. When I had questions as to how the financing would work they took the time to find out for me and provide me with specific answers and details. Scott Gage was a very good representative. Helena Shi also assisted me and she kept me up to speed and up-to-date I emailing me and responding to my inquiries as well. I handle insurance claims for contractors on a routine basis. This was the best contracting experience I have seen in a long time. The professionalism was excellent. The response time fantastic. Overall a great experience. When I need roofing work I'll be certain to call them as well. read more

Great customer service but very overpriced. The salesman was respectful and professional. Thoroughly explained everything, but unwilling to match a highly reputable competitor pricing. read more

I spoke to Ben on the phone. He said that with a general roof inspection, they would include some minor repairs and "some" roof tile replacement if needed. For the 170$, his guy came out and did nothing except give me an estimate for 1700$ to pressure wash the roof clean. There were 5 broken tiles which were not replaced. When i called, he was angry that i insisted that the tiles be replaced as we discussed on the initial phone call. He said he would schedule someone to come out but then never got back to me. Do not use the service unless you want to get nothing promised and sold something unnecessary for a lot of money. Update: after the post. They did come and repaired the tiles and took care of the things the promised. read more

Just had solar installed with Petersen Dean, so far we are very happy with the results. Having the Solar Dashboard tool on my computer enables me to see the production each day!

After seeing a commercial for "All American Solar" I requested a quote through the P.D. web site. I received a call last Saturday and scheduled an in home appointment I was very disappointed with the hard sell for a $49 deposit for the "special pricing". I turned it down and said I was just looking for a quote. About 30 minutes later I received another call and was told my in home appointment was cancelled and that I would be receiving a phone appointment instead. I thought this was odd and unprofessional but I went ahead and scheduled the appointment. The date and time for the phone appointment came and I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL! This cost me $$$ as I left work early to be home for the scheduled time. From start to finish P.D. failed on all levels of good customer service. Why pay all that money for the commercials?? I will definitely be purchasing a solar system for my house within the next week or two. Because of the horrible service I received, it will not be from Peterson Dean. Lots of reputable solar companies to choose from. Don't waste your time with these guys. Nobody else I've talked to put the hard sell on me and requested money during the first phone call. read more

Very disappointed. Got quote and agreed on price and timing but then salesman did typical "bait and switch" as he "quoted md wrong price, made mistake" and then price was $6000 more. Obviously did not go through with deal. Highly unethical behavior read more

PetersenDean was thorough and persistent in getting my system approved through the Oxnard building department which is notoriously slow. Their install team was fast and did a quality job. They also responded to an initial issue very quickly. I went with them due to a a friend's recommendation, and because of their excellent warranty. My project manager, Valerie Ventura was also very responsive. read more

100% unacceptable service, or lack of it. 1. Made an appt. no one showed. No call. we called and they re-scheduled. 2. Someone finally came and quoted us $650 for minor repairs minus our original $150 inspection fee. We scheduled the work to be done. 3. Again, nobody shows up to do the work, nobody calls ... and we begin with the excuses. (car broke down, personal problems, etc...) We re-schedule. 4. And yet again, nobody shows up and nobody even calls! So here we are with El Nino and no roof repairs. The truth lies in the fact that evidently they are busy right now and don't need us. They have bigger jobs. But whats going to happen later on? If the same service person continued to be a "no-show" you would think they would send somebody else? But, nobody really cared. Joseph was fully aware of what was taking place. Yes, we got our $150 back and yes a letter of apology came with it, after many words were exchanged. Should we have had all this aggravation and had it drag on for so long? Its now too late and we most likely will not be able to get anyone to come out. Never have I ever dealt with a company so very unreliable. read more

I have 4 young kids so I only take time to post reviews when a company really comes through or under delivers. I had to post on this as I have been very impressed with our solar project. All of the people that worked on the project were extremely professional and quick to address my questions. Specially want to say thanks to my account manager Tom Semark and my project manger Amy. I was referred by a friend of mine that also had a fantastic experience. This is a company I will refer my friends to. read more

We bought a solar system for our roof a month ago. Larry Cohan, the sales guy, showed up exactly in time and explained in detail the system and installation procedure. We thought initially that we need a second quote from another company, but Larry made a fantastic job explaining every detail and we were confident that we have found the right partner in Petersen Dean. So we signed all the paper right away and now get updates on the process from our assigned project manager. Everything looks good so far. read more

I just purchased a solar electric system for my house from Petersen Dean, and thanks to my sales person Larry Cohan, it was a piece of cake. Prior to selecting Petersen Dean, I spoke with American Solar Direct and SolarCity. Out of the three, Petersen Dean is the only company to offer a system built with microinverters instead of power optimizers with a string inverter, but in my opinion as an engineer, both approaches have their pluses and minuses. Given that there wasn't a big technology difference, for me the decision came down to price, warranty, and service. Petersen Dean was the clear winner on all three counts. One reason I was comfortable going with them is that they are a roofing company, and because of that they are willing to offer a roof penetration warranty for 15 years (25 years if my roof wasn't already more than 10 years old) instead of the 10 years offered by their competitors, not to mention that if my roof ever needs work, they will remove and replace the solar panels for free. And then there's the service. Larry was great. No high pressure sales tactics here. He had no need. It was obvious that he is sincere in his belief that Petersen Dean is a great company, and he was confident that his price would be competitive. Turns out his price was the lowest. Best price, best warranty, and great service. It was an easy decision. I'll give an update once the system is installed and working... read more

This company does an ok job putting in solar panels but they are EXTREMELY SLOW. They have poor communication and their techs made numerous mistakes. First, they provided incomplete information about their financing process. Second on the day of install they forgot to install a major component of the electrical system (grounding rod, OOPS) The tech had to come back another day because he forgot Finally, they literally didn't show up for final inspection delaying the system by another week Clearly they are more focused on selling you to than delivering service in a timely manor. Go with solar city, they are faster and cheaper read more
