    My PG&E at-a-glance savings this month with Solectric solar panels.
    Michel J.

    Daniel and his team were superb. I came into this not knowing a ton, but the team all did a fantastic job explaining each step. They did all the extras required for picky Davis inspectors. From sales to equipment to project manager, all kept me in the loop during the process. Solectric handled PG&E, made sure someone was here for all inspections and appointments. It has been a year and I couldn't be happier. In case you are on the fence and not sure, this is your message to go for it. My bills are low if not zero, my tax return was great. I met with a lot of companies, but Solectric's service was above and beyond.

    I had Solectric install solar panels on my home after researching many other companies. Dan was able to answer all my questions and his staff was very easy to work with. I was on the roof during the entire install to checkout their work and can attest they are very detail oriented with great workmanship. Solectric was able to install a system meeting 100% of my energy goals. I'm very happy with the company and it feels great going solar.

    House is complete. Very neat and professional

    I hired Solectric to install a large solar project (35 panels). The panels they bid are top quality SunPower. 25 year labor and part guarantee. Impressive. Daniel and his crew were professional and did very clean work. They ran all the conduit pipe thru the attic so all you see on my roof are the panels. It's a very clean look. In addition I had a level 2 charger installed. Again very professional. Check out my pics.

    Let me start with telling you that I'm the type of person that will read reviews for hours before deciding on a product. I subscribe to Consumer Reports and will check their ratings for just about anything before I buy something new (example...white cloud toilet paper is far better reviewed than any other toilet paper, and much cheaper). I probably spent a dozen or so hours sorting through reviews regarding solar contractors, solar panels and inverters. By the time I actually reached out to several contractors for estimates, I had already read through dozens of reviews and spoken to neighbors on Nextdoor.com who had used different contractors. When the estimates started to come in, they were all within about 5-10% of each other, with solectric and one other company being tied for the most competitive bid. However, with as much as I was spending for my system overall, I wasn't going to make my decision based solely on who could do it for the least amount of money. The estimates I got were all using the same product; so the difference in price, at least from my perspective, was the level of service I would be receiving throughout the installation and beyond. With that in mind, I sent each contractor an email with a few basic questions about their proposal. Daniel at solectric was the most responsive by far, and had the least "generic" response. Just from his emails I could tell how much pride he took in his work. He offered to walk with me around my neighborhood and point out imperfections in other installations that he would not tolerate in his own work. I didn't take him up on the offer because I was already sold after exchanging a few emails with him. After I signed the contract and the building permit was approved, it only took a day and a half to get the system installed. Getting a SMUD inspector out for the final approval was actually the longest part in the whole process, but Daniel did a good job of cc'ing me on emails he sent to SMUD and what the status was of the final inspection. When SMUD finally made it out and gave the go-ahead to turn the system on, Daniel was out the next morning to turn on the system and show me how everything worked (he also brought a 12-pack of my favorite beer!). I'm really glad I went with solectric, and I recommend them to anybody who is considering solar. Throughout the whole process, I was treated as if I was a personal friend of the owner.

    Lovin my qcells!

    Soo.... FINALLY I can post my review of ACR Solar (and Roofing). Understand I had to at least wait…read morefor a few good rains to say I LOVE my new roof and we are in fact "water proof"! I have never been so impressed with the customer service of any company as much as I am with ACR. They did the solar for a new pool last year 2021 and it worked perfectly allowing us the most comfortable swimming experience in our new pool. That was last year... Next up our 25 year-old roof was looking tired. Because of my solar experience with ACR's amazing staff (both in the field and in the office), I decided to get a bid (1 of 4) from them on a new roof this year (2022). Oh my gosh Joe Petersen runs a smooth, courteous, professional company with an awesome team of workers. Not one person was rude, lazy or "questionable". I am one who asks MANY questions because I just like to know and understand "stuff". Joe was so very patient with me. (Thank you Joe, lol). I always try to HIRE LOCAL whenever possible but get at least 3 bids regardless. This LOCAL company came in competitive, were pretty quick to get me on the schedule, and once the job began did not waste a bit of my time or theirs. Thank you so much for your excellent service on both of my jobs. I was able to stay calm and confident that we were in good hands. ~ Janelle

There were all kinds of…read moresalespeople who came to our home on a monthly basis, and we just never had a real peace about being able to trust what we were being " sold", or told. My parents purchased solar from a HORRIBLE company that sounds a lot like 'SunFun'. After they passed away, and the house was sold...we were STILL making the monthly payments for over a year!!! That SunFun organization REFUSED to transfer the solar to the new homeowner, and eventually stopped taking or acknowledging our calls. It wasn't until we had to threaten the new homeowner with a lawsuit that SunFun finally transferred ownership. Due to this, we could not trust any of these solar companies...that is, until Kevin Bedard came to our home, and explained everything in great detail to my husband and I. He took the time to hear about our concerns, and he showed us how he truly cared. That same week, we spoke to two other families who shared their positive experiences about Ambrose Solar that made us feel that we would be in great hands. We had FINALLY FOUND A PEACE about getting solar on our home; KNOWING we would be in good hands, and we were ALL IN. It's been six months now, and we are beyond pleased with our solar panels, and the two Tesla batteries we have purchased. We are true fans, who have NOTHING but RAVE REVIEWS for this company. If you don't have solar, or if you need to add solar, Kevin Bedard is your man! and Ambrose is your company. Every employee has been amazing and helpful. In a world where customer service has taken a dump, this company has remained a class act. So again...if you are considering solar, call Ambrose, and tell them Albert and Rhonda sent you.

Any home renovation project has bumps, and this one had its fair share: after initial install they monitor the systems production remotely to see if it's doing what it's supposed to/expected to, and my system was initially under-performing. They caught it and sent out a team to problem solve it, which took a couple tries, but they didn't drag their feet, they kept on it and kept at it and got it resolved. It was no fault of theirs, just a technology glitch. Core fear was that they would give up after a couple failures and leave me following up with them to get it done, but I never had to worry about that. I also did not end up liking where they placed the control box- it was something that was going to make future maintenance of my house trim problematic down the line. They willingly moved it up a few inches for me (and my only complaint was the team that did that didn't patch the original hole as efficiently as they should have. If I had understood the box placement better on the first pass that would never have happened, so this is a bit of a complaint of my own making.) Jon Landsman, who sold me the system, stayed with us the whole time tracking the project, checking in, and following through on every detail, every question, every concern. He never made me feel like the demanding diva that I am, was always prompt and gracious! The bottom line is that start to finish, even with a few bumps in the road, I have zero question that this is a company that legitimately cares about doing what is right. The culture of deeply valuing customer service that they have built is unmatched by many businesses these days. I am SO pleased, and SO impressed, and I can promise that you will be too!

On top of that, they're just good down-to-earth people. We hired them last spring to re-roof our home, replace some rotted eaves and fascia and replace our old solar system (it was inefficient and malfunctioned quite a bit). We are very happy with what we got for the price we paid, it was a good value. It looks so much better than it did before and is consistently producing more energy. I feel like they helped us make the right decisions through the whole process, especially for system size to be able to keep our NEM1 status. The new roof looks great and works really well. I waited almost a year to write this review to make sure there wasn't any water intrusion during the winter storms - not a drop anywhere. They were in the mid-high range in pricing on the bids we got, but I'm happy we spent a little more went with them. Can a roof be sexy? Ours sure is. All in all, if you need a new roof or solar system or home battery, or all of the above, call Volt. They are a competent and professional group of local people who are really f**king good at what they do.

    After much research, we had the top six companies quote us estimates for solar on our Loomis house…read more I noticed that each company explained the process differently; some explanations were good, while others left me more confused. When Buck arrived, he stayed until we were satisfied with our understanding, and I learned so much more from his explanations than from all other companies. Considering they were also roofers and understood the difficulty with our high-pitched roof, we placed more confidence in them than the others. Hence, we chose them after a month of research and estimates. Kristen, their assistant manager, was very communicative throughout the entire project, keeping us informed about what was happening behind the scenes with permits, PG&E approvals, and the team's schedule. That helped us understand the project's time frames. Bucks crew -- Jared, Sean, and the others -- were friendly and professional. They worked quickly and efficiently to finish the job, paying close attention to detail. They went above and beyond, including sharing additional insights about our gutters and attic. I could tell they understood the bigger picture, and I am grateful for their effort. After researching many companies, we are happy we chose Volt Modern and will definitely recommend them to others looking for solar installation and roofing services.

We were interested in solar for our 1940s home and provided a deposit in good faith. However, after further inspection of our roof and the overall project viability, we decided not to move forward. When we requested our deposit back--before any equipment was ordered or installation began--the company initially refused, claiming it was 'passed' the point of a refund. It was a high-pressure situation where we felt they were trying to lock us into a contract we weren't comfortable with. While we did eventually receive our deposit back after pushing the issue, the initial refusal to return funds for work not performed was a major red flag. Homeowners should be very careful with the fine print here. If you are looking for a company that values transparency and customer comfort over just 'closing the deal,' I would suggest looking elsewhere. We're glad we didn't get stuck with them and are instead putting that money into improvements that actually fit our home.
