I received my last Month electricity bill, it's -$4! i sent my drone up there and what a great job.

34 panels installed on our house in Upland

Choosing Solargem was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time! Joe is informative, honest, and kind - and I couldn't recommend his business any more! I decided to go solar because our house is on the larger side and has 2 AC units. In the summer our electric bill was as high as $650, which for a family of two was insane. I decided to get several quotes on solar installation in order to make sure I got the most bang for my buck. During this process, Joe was very transparent about his pricing, which was important to me as price was a big factor for me. He gave me multiple options that influenced pricing vs output, and this was extremely helpful. We ended up settling on 34 Solaria panels, which would end up producing slightly more energy than we needed at the time and would give us enough room to expand in the future if needed. In the limbo phase between him giving us a quote and us choosing a company, Joe wasn't pushy at all - which we appreciated. While Solargem ended up being one of the cheaper options out of the roughly 8 companies I got quotes from, I mostly chose them because Joe gave me a very good gut feeling. The few times that I talked with Joe and got panel/panel size advice prior to choosing his company, I felt like I could honestly trust him - and that was huge for me. After finalizing the contract + $$$, we hit the ground running. He sent one of his workers to do some prep on our house (moving exhaust pipes in our attic/roof) and then scheduled the panel installation shortly thereafter. His crew were extremely professional, courteous, and did a phenomenal job on the installation. We were also impressed that the inverter that they installed (SolarEdge) had a cool little app that showed how much energy we were producing (and of course I looked at it every day in excitement). After our first full month of having the panels up (and our new time of use plan kicking in with SCE), I was pleased that our usage was $0!! While we still had to pay a very small service fee to Edison (~$20), I was happy that we were already starting to get a return on our investment (in November too!). Overall, Solargem met all of my expectations and more! We are so excited to be saving money and the environment!

Joe and his team from SolarGem did a great job on our solar install. I began my research into solar back in Aug 2015, after finding out what I exactly wanted and what kind of system I wanted to build I called around for a few quotes. Joe from SolarGem being one of the 6 quotes I got. While I didn't buy my equipment from Joe, they did the install on my system. From beginning to end, Joe and his team were very professional. We started our install on a Monday and Thursday, the system was up. By Friday, everything has wrapped up and inspection was complete waiting for SCE to give us the OK to operate. We also had SolarGem upgrade our service panel since our original one didn't meet the min requirement for solar and Joe gave us a very reasonable price for the upgrade. They also did everything to our discussed contract and at the end of the day, we were very satisfied with the job Joe and his team did. On a last note, one of the great thing that Joe and his team does that we appreciated very much was the daily updates. Since I was at work for the most of this installation. Joe called me every day after his team left to give me an update on what has happened and what to expect next. This we valued a lot since knowing what is going on and to expect goes a long way in customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joe to anyone looking to install Solar. Joe also gave me some excellent advance along the way which help in the build of our system. We are roughly 20 days into our system going live with SCE and I have been keeping an eye on our daily usage. As of right now, we are at a net negative on our kWH and paying nothing for electricity. As time goes on, I will update the review on how our system is performing, but as of right now we are satisfied customers.

See all

Our first solar system was installed through Project Solar, which outsourced the installation, and…read moreunfortunately it was a nightmare from start to finish. Because of that experience, we were very cautious when we decided to add more panels and reached out to several different companies. From the very beginning, HPM Solar stood out. They were easy to work with, communicated clearly, and consistently kept me informed about every step of the process. There were no surprises and no guessing about what was happening next. We were also extremely fortunate that an earlier installation slot opened up, allowing HPM to fit us in just in time to take advantage of the expiring tax credit -- something we truly appreciated. The installation crew was excellent: professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. They did great work and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left, which really showed their attention to detail and pride in their work. Overall, the entire solar process with HPM Solar was very smooth and stress-free, a complete contrast to our previous experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering solar.

They were professional, clean, cordial, and the end result was exceptional. I am very pleased with the work performed and everyone that was involved. I hope highly recommend them especially since it's so hard to find a company that will still be around in years to come. My worry was that the installation may contribute to future leaks due to rain. I observed the installation process asking questions and am satisfied that I won't have any issues.

New Day Solar installed our home solar back in 2023. That whole experience was great and our solar…read morehas been functioning very will since then. Haven't give SCE a penny since the 3rd month after our system went online (over 2 years now!). The reason I'm writing this review now is that we had a major roof leak back in late November and part of our upstairs ceiling collapsed in. What a nightmare!! We weren't sure where the leak was or if the solar was the cause. We contacted a roofer to address the roof repairs needed and we also called New Day to let them know what was going on and asked that they be involved in determining the source of the leak. They were so responsive and quickly came over to evaluate the situation. After their inspection they didn't feel the leak was due to the solar panels but was rather a roof problem in one of the valleys near the solar panels. They didn't just walk away at that point. They came the day the roofer began the repairs and worked with them to fully evaluate the problems. They removed the solar panels that needed to be removed so the repairs could happen and put them back after. They were correct and the solar was not involved in the problem. Corey the owner went out of his way to make sure he had a crew on-site when the roofer needed them there so that we could get our repairs done as quickly as possible. Corey was up on the roof multiple time to make sure everything was done correctly and we were happy and secure that the problems were resolved. Many other companies would have just said "not our problem" and walked away but that's not how they do business. I would so highly recommend them to everyone for their professionalism, knowledge and follow-up even 2 years after the install!!

Every question we posed was addressed and the coordination details of the project were perfect…read more Just no worries with professional and personable intera. Highly recommend you contact NDS for your solar project.

The installers were awesome and got me going quickly. So regarding the communication issues I had with the company, things happen, people get busy and sometimes delays do occur. I'm just glad we were able to get everything resolved. Pricing, I did get a couple of additional quotes and Option One blew them out of the water. Could it be those other companies assumed I needed the parts and labor? Maybe, but I was very clear that I had the parts already. Bottom line it never hurts getting quotes and going from there. Service, so I got all the paperwork done yesterday early afternoon and was scheduled today (5/1) at 8am. I do realize there needs to be a buffer between appointment time and actual arrival time, I usually just assume an hour after the appointment time. But the techs were here at almost exactly 8am. As I have very limited knowledge on solar panels, the fact none of them fell off my roof (panels or techs) and nothing blew up, then it's safe to say they did a fantastic job. In the end my system is fixed and I'm happy. Also if I ever need work done on my system again I'm calling these guys up.

I had a wonderful experience with Option One Solar. They were incredibly helpful and responded to…read moremy questions very quickly. Everyone I spoke with was kind, patient, and took the time to explain things clearly. They also helped resolve an issue that had been left behind by a previous installer, which I really appreciated. It made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Their pricing was very reasonable, and their response time was impressively fast. Overall, I couldn't be more grateful or happy with my experience. I highly recommend Option One Solar to anyone looking for reliable and professional service.

Our home has an exterior panel and was built in 1974, so troubleshooting was needed right away. They responded quickly, communicated clearly throughout the whole process, and got us taken care of the same day. The electrician found loose wires and a couple of bad breakers, explained everything clearly, and replaced and repaired the problem components efficiently. Fast, professional, and great communication--exactly what you want in an emergency electrical situation. I would absolutely recommend Blazer Electric and wouldn't hesitate to call them again.

I had a technician, David, come out to check a cable between two SMA solar inverters that had…read morestarted sagging and showed minor damage. David quickly identified it as a low-voltage communication line and clearly explained that it wouldn't affect power production or cause other problems with my solar panel system. He wrapped the small nick with electrical tape, secured the slack properly so it wouldn't sag again, and made sure everything was positioned safely -- all at no charge. Knowledgeable, straightforward, and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again. Also, Blazer Electric seems to be one of the few companies to work on solar panel systems. When Yelp sent out my request to multiple companies--even though I searched specifically for companies that work on solar panel systems--three of the companies said they don't do solar.

They responded to our messages even thought we reached out past normal operating hours. The entire team is very experienced and efficient. Total roof only took about a week to fully complete. Daniel Sr went around the property throughout the day with a magnet to ensure that our pups would not be at risk of stepping on any nails, and the entire team was respectful of our property and kept things tidy throughout the job. Their bid was not the cheapest nor the most expensive bid we received, but ultimately it was fair and we do not regret our choice. If you have an older roof, I would budget an added 20%-30% on top of the initial bid price to leave room for any deck repairs and additional tile replacements that maybe needed. Overall, I was very pleased working with FR Roofing and would recommend them to friends and family.

It does seem like they honor their warranty. I'll keep you posted.
