After interviewing approximately seven solar companies, reading reviews, comparing pricing, evaluating customer service, and reviewing BBB ratings, I ultimately chose SunMade Solar Energy to expand my existing solar system. One thing that stood out immediately was that their pricing was highly competitive with the other companies I considered. While pricing was important, what really set SunMade apart was that they hold both solar and roofing licenses. This gave me additional confidence because I previously had a bad experience with another solar company that damaged my roof, failed to fix the problem, and later went out of business, leaving me to pay for the repairs myself. Our sales representative, Jon Bernal, was professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. There was one item that the system designer later clarified, and although it wasn't a major issue, Jon personally reached out to notify me of the changes. That level of integrity and accountability meant a lot to me and demonstrated that he genuinely cares about his customers. The installation crew was professional, arrived on time, kept the work area clean, and communicated well throughout the process. After installation, I noticed a section of concrete that had become uneven due to settling. I contacted SunMade, and they returned within days to correct the issue and followed up to ensure everything was satisfactory. That kind of customer service is becoming increasingly rare. The entire process moved efficiently. Our first meeting with Jon was on March 28, we signed on March 30, the system was installed on April 27, the meter collar was installed on May 13, and we received Permission to Operate about a week later. Jon also helped us identify and secure available rebates. I would also like to thank Tara in the office. When I needed copies of my contract documents, she provided them promptly and without hesitation. Another positive observation is that the owner, Oz, appears to be actively involved with the company and personally responds to customer reviews. I noticed this during my initial research and felt it reflected a company that values customer feedback and satisfaction. At the time of this review, SunMade Solar Energy held an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Based on my experience, they delivered competitive pricing, excellent communication, professional workmanship, and outstanding customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend SunMade Solar Energy to anyone considering solar for their home. read more

I had a 7kWp rooftop system installed with Tesla Powerwall 3 backup. SunMade helped make what is a rather significant home upgrade and investment easy and convenient. Their team is professional and knowledgeable and any questions I had were answered promptly and completely. The quality of install is outstanding and the system works perfectly. I never once felt duped or overwhelmed. This is not a scam or second rate company which in the California solar industry are everywhere. You pay for the quality and reliability and knowledge that SunMade backs their products with warranties and service guarantees. If you value excellence and competence then they should absolutely be on your short list. read more

I had solar installed about a month ago with SunMade and the experience was so easy and convenient. I wasn't super savvy with how solar works or how the process would be, but I did a lot of research and filtered through a lot of reviews and SunMade was what stood out the most to me. After the install, I can see why. Duane W was my rep and walked us through the whole process and just made it easy. I think if you've been on the fence with going forward with solar, definitely look into SunMade. You can tell they take pride in their work and give quality attention to detail. Thanks! read more

I recently had my roof removed and reinstalled by SunMade. They did en excellent job. They are very easy to communicate with and are prompt in answering questions. I was kept informed of the installation schedule and notified promptly if there were any changes in that schedule. My new roof is lovely and the job was completed on time. read more

Used Sun-Made for my solar install, and recently had them handle the removal and reinstallation of the panels for a roof project. They made a potentially stressful transition completely painless. The system is back online and working great. Great local company that stands by their work. read more

Amazing company to work with, Duane used a drone to measure best location for panels. As I drive around I notice many panels in full shade because they didn't hire Sunmade. Mine receive full sun exposure with 10 east and 10 south facing. They are also the only company that would install the panels I wanted, REC alpha pure rx 460's with 2 Tesla power wall 3 batteries. The install was clean with no conduit running along the roof , everything fed thru attic. I produce more power than my friends 26 panels ( all south facing) q cell system. I was so worried about this purchase, however now I'm just disappointed. Disappointed I didn't hire Sunmade sooner! read more

I had a great experience working with SunMade to install solar on my house and other family members property. Jon went above and beyond my expectations build a system that fit the needs of my house and other property, which were completely different need and energy usage situations. Amazing work and customer service. The whole SunMade team communicated extremely well and provided a very seamless experience from start to final installation. I have already and will be recommending other family and friends to Jon for any solar or roofing needs read more

I really enjoyed my experience with Sunmade. They made the whole process very streamlined and provided excellent support. I looked at Sunrun(who were very hostile), Sunergy(which had terrible reviews), and Sunmade. Not only do they have the best reviews but i was so impressed with the whole set up. They installed the panels and battery i wanted plus an electric car charger in a single day after getting the permits. I highly recommend them. read more

We chose SunMade Energy for our solar installation. They were extremely knowledgeable. They gave us so much information, answered all our questions, and provided all the details we needed to make an informed choice for solar. From the first visit where Matt used a drone to get the specs of our house, to the very last touch of being available when the inspectors visited, we couldn't have asked for better service. Incidentally, the installation crew was as professional as you could get! Very quick to install. If you're considering solar, and now is the time, you won't find better quality from product to service than SunMade Energy! read more

I waited a few months before reviewing on purpose. I wanted to make sure everything worked perfectly and the roof withstood a few rainstorms. I shopped 8 companies and SunMade gave the best attention to my (very specific) requests. Everyone from the company representative at the home show through office staff and roof crew to the owner paid particular attention to my families needs as it pertained to solar. To say I am happy with the outcome is an understatement. I highly recommend SunMade. Bonus: the price $/p kWh was the cheapest of the competitors! Run the numbers yourself. All A+ = service, disposal, install, price, in-house roof crew, finished product. read more

Jon from SunMade was great to work with. He made the solar process very easy, timely and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for solar! read more

***9 MONTH UPDATE*** I just wanted to come back and say how pleased I am with my system. To this day I've had 0 issues with it. Based on other communications I've had with SunMade, I know if I did have an issue, they'd be quick to respond and take care of it immediately. The main reason I wanted to update this review was because of the quality of the installation. Going into this, I wanted to use a company that would not take any shortcuts and cause any issues with my roof. It's safe to say that SunMade did an amazing job with the install, I say this because over the last couple months we've had above average rainfall (some days, several inches), there have been no leaks where the panels where installed, this includes my house and the houses that I've referred. So if you're reading through reviews and still in the process of selecting a Solar company, I highly recommend SunMade. They're an A+ from start to finish. read more

Great service! From beginning to the end they followed up to make sure we were satisfied

Sunmade employees were quick and efficient. I called to have solar panels put in and didn't understand the ins and outs of how they worked. Staff there explained everything in detail. They suggested how many panels I needed and it has reduces my energy cost drastically. The panels are worth every penny paid! read more

We got quotes from four solar installers. SunMade beat them all. More importantly, no one could match SunMade's financing package. The installation was quick and clean. They even painted the conduits to match the house! Communication was always excellent and they cheerfully accommodated our needs and requests. We highly recommend SunMade! read more

Extremely happy with all aspects of this project! The customer service is amazing! Everything from beginning to end was explained to me. There was no hidden information. The materials used look amazing! Thank you! read more

We received numerous quotes for solar installation on our custom build home. We chose SunMade based on their competitive quote, knowledge of the solar industry, and reputation. We have not been disappointed. From sales to installation to follow-up, Sunmade worked with us and our contractor to ensure that he project was completed on time and to our specifications. Matt Harr (sales) was by far the most knowledgeable of the sale representatives we spoke with. He was well versed in different types of systems and helped design a system that worked best for us. Amanda (Operations Manger) was exceptionally knowledgeable regarding PGE and the shift from NEM2 to NEM3. She worked hard for us to ensure we got the best pricing structure possible. The installation team were always on time and professional. (Thanks Gilbert!) Finally, I had the opportunity to speak with the president of the Company (Oz Wardak) during the process. He was quick to respond to concerns we had and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Overall, great company and great people. Highly recommend for your solar needs. read more

I chose SunMade Energy because they do nothing but Solar (period). They also have over 13 year of experience and are a Family Owned Business. *) First contact (Julia) set things up and my original Solar Educator was not able to make it and had Chris at my door that same day. *) Sales (Chris) was top notch, super knowledgeable, and gave me straight answers and no BS. I from adding 20 to 22 panels and two more panels to make it 24 plus added the bird netting a couple of days before the install. *) President (Oz) worked with me on prices and quick turnaround on all my paperwork; even last minute stuff. *) Scheduling (Amanda) found me an earlier installation date. *) Installers (Omar and crew) did a great job; very polite, kept the panels and boxes looking very clean and aligned, and left no mess behind. They even painted the conduit's to match the house. Two extra things I asked them to do, which they didn't have too, was to inspect the attic while they were up there running cables; everything was fine. The second thing was to add some screws into my chimney's spark arrester; which they did and even added some silicone so there was no leakage. Thank you guy's. I highly recommend this company and team. read more

We would give SunMade Energy more than 5 Stars if we could. We had researched for the Best Solar Company for more than a month and we had spoken to more than 5 companies prior to contacting SunMade Energy. We're super happy that we made the right choice by choosing SunMade Energy. Their team was awesome from starting to installation. Chris Atrats is very knowledgeable and informative at first meeting. Following by the price negotiation with OZ and the contract was signed. Amanda and Julia are always the top notch in communicating, responsive and very helpful. Our Solar system was installed in 2 and a half months. We highly recommend SunMade Energy to anyone. Fantastic jobs, SunMade Energy! read more

I want to preface this review by saying I did not actually get a backup battery from the company. I had a phone consultation with Matt. He was helpful and actually talked me out of getting a back up battery. I currently do not have a true up and in the past 3.7 years, I have only had one bill for 14.77. My purpose for a backup battery was for power outages solely. Matt quoted me a price of 27k and that was after a 30% federal rebate which they sell to another company to get the price down. I've did my research and was able to find my original company which installed my solar to do the job for 17k. 10 k is a huge savings for the job so I have decided to use them instead! read more

With some trepidation, I took the leap and "went solar." After comparisons and study, I finally decided to try the company, SunMade. My house is over 100 years old with a unique roof, and huge shade trees along with multiple ground and garden issues. After discussing many roof options, Oz, the owner, and I decided together on a ground mount. From day one to the finish date, SunMade listened and answered my questions and concerns and made possible accommodations. Once the final process and installation was determined, SunMade's excellent crew arrived and worked with dispatch and knowledge. I totally commend their skill, and workmanship precision. From their office, Oz, Amanda, and Tara have responded to my every call and text with knowledge, guidance and solutions. My electricity savings is proving to be gigantic! Simply, if you are deciding on going Solar...you can quit looking and go with SunMade. read more

I had my Solar installed May 9-10, 2024 and had no issues with the installation. Work was approved by the inspector on the following Monday. Everything was going great, however I noticed that my SCE bill never changed I called the Sun made office and asked if I had to contact SCE and they said they will take care of it. October I contacted SCE and I was told that Sun made submitted and application to operate, but it was not complete. I contacted SCE and was told that the person who handles this was on vacation but checks emails. I sent and email explaining the situation and waited 2 weeks with no follow up from Sun made I sent another email and next day I received notice that I was priority number 1. Two weeks later with no further communication from Sun made I called and spoke with Amber and told her how upset I was about being ignored or at least not being updated on my status. I wrote a poor yelp review and thereafter received frequent communications and finally early January 2025 my application to operate and Solar Billing Plan was approved by SCE. All good now, but with too much effort. read more

SunMade is great, they finished my install on time / without issues and the financing was fast and easy! Nothing but good thing to say! read more

This is an amazing company! Very knowledgeable and thorough. Salesperson not pushy and was patient with all of our questions. We were very pleased with their presentation and pricing. The installation technicians were efficient and thorough. The office staff was extremely helpful and friendly, walking us through each step of the way from beginning to end of the installation.They also continue periodic follow ups post installation which is a plus. I highly recommend SubMade Energy for your solar needs! Thank you SunMade Energy for your quality product and professional services. read more

Wanted to update my review. After a full year of solar I have been getting exactly the amount of productivity that I was notified I would receive. So far- still very much satisfied with my SM energy choice. read more

When reviewing a company and project like the one we undertook with Sunmade Energy one must always take in consideration that sometimes challenges come up. We had some challenges in the project, but Sunmade and their entire team handled things efficiently and with a high degree of professionalism. From the process of the initial bid to the installation of the panels their success was unmatched by anyone we could have chosen. I would like to recommend Sunmade to you for many reasons. But, to simply say, from top to bottom, company president Mr. Wardak, office staff and installation team did a job worthy of our trust. rsk read more

I heard from Sunmade from Yelp. They had a lot of good reviews. I called and spoke to Diedra, she was very sweet and welcoming. She made an appointment worked with my schedule, Chrus showed up and was very nice and broke it down and answered any question I had. Soon after I signed and would call back where Amanda (who im sure was very busy) was able to answer last minute questions and what to do next. They were extremely helpful. Mr Oz I think was his name. Called me to assure me everything was fine. read more

Had an excellent experience with SunMade Energy. From initial meeting with their solar educator who clearly presented the whole process and numbers, I was impressed. They answered all our questions and concerns. The customer service was prompt and friendly. They answered all our inquiries in professional manner. They will update you thru call/text or email about what stage is your application until installation day. The crew who installed our solar panels were also nice and friendly. It took them 2 days to finish the project. They did an amazing job putting my 44 panels last September 2023. Overall, the installation was outstanding, just the way we talked about during the meeting. It's been raining the past few months and so far I haven't had any problems like water leaks on my celiling that I feared the most from the solar system installation. I guess they did an amazing job. I highly recommend this company. SunMade thank you! read more

I'm so glad we chose Sunmade Energy by Sunpower to install our solar. The entire experience with this local company was effortless on our part and went perfectly smooth. The owner arrived when he said, the crew arrived when they said as well as the electrician and Pge to completely take of everything. They were all very professional and courteous and a pleasure to work with. The office was in touch throughout to keep me in the loop with what to expect next. I felt in really good hands and am confident this is the best product out there for solar. read more

I have to admit.  I was skeptical about solar, but the staff at SunMade Energy did a great job of explaining the benefits and how solar works.  The sales representative showed genuine concern for our needs and wasn't just looking for a sale.  Installation was extremely quick (less than a week) and the company has been in contact with me every step of the way.  If you are looking for solar, I highly recommend SunMade Energy.  They offer SunPower products.  Let them know Darlene sent you. read more

The whole process went great with Sunmade. Armando helped us to understand all our options in the beginning, making sure we chose something that would suit our needs. After that the process went well and within a few weeks from our first meeting with Armando we had solar installed. It was easy to get in contact with someone anytime we had questions. Highly recommend Sunmade. read more

ABSOLUTELY awesome company. This is my first review I have ever written because this company deserves this review. From our first meet up with Oz we felt well informed and confident in his knowledge. Oz has been in the solar business for years and it is very evident. My husband and I have wanted to install solar for many years but did not want to be taken advantage of. I have spoken with soooo many people who have gone with BIG popular companies and have had nothing but trouble. I wanted the best equipment and that is what SunMade uses. I WOULD SAY THAT YOU NEED TO MEET WITH OZ BEFORE DECIDING ON A SOLAR COMPANY! Very happy customer!!! Thank you Oz! read more

Had an excellent experience from beginning to end. Deidra helped me set up an appointment with a solar educator and made me feel at ease from the start. Being a new home owner trying to beat a NEM 2 deadline with limited time and knowledge felt very intimidating but my solar educator, Duane and the rest of the team were great. Duane was patient and answered all my questions thoroughly, making the details easy to understand. When I had questions after signing up, the project coordinator Amanda was responsive and friendly, and I asked a lot of questions! When I went to drop off my deposit, the owner Oz came out to introduce himself. Even though it was an extremely busy time for them due to the NEM deadline, the team was responsive and maintained great customer service. The installers were also respectful and very professional. You can tell that their customers and reputation matter to them. I'm very happy with my decision so far. read more

SunMade Energy is a great company that is locally owned and uses solar panels from SunPower. The SunMade Energy team makes the entire process painless and effortless. Their sales consultant, in my case Jessie Hernandez, was very informative and provided the support I needed. Mr. Hernandez guided me throughout the entire process from obtaining my SCE information, to helping me with financing, to letting me know why solar is the route to go, to finally setting up the installation date. The install process with SunMade Energy on your side is the way to go. Also, SunMade Energy uses the best solar panels out there. The installation team finished the job in one day and also took care of the permits, the clean-up, and were professional and their work was perfect. I am sure anyone would feel confident and happy they chose SunMade Energy. I would recommend SunMade Energy to anyone; please do not hesitate to contace SunMade Energy. read more

This review is for SunMade Energy in Fresno. For those who don't prefer reading lengthy reviews, I will begin by saying that I recently contracted with SunMade for the purchase and installation of my new solar system. I am completely happy with the installed system. I highly recommend SunMade Energy. I had three other companies give me estimates for a system for my home. SunMade was the last provider that I contacted. They were not the least expensive, nor were they the most expensive. They did give me a bid for a system that has the greatest output potential of all who provided bids. They were less expensive than the other local SUNPOWER panel dealer in my area; that dealer was the most expensive of all who bid, and the system they offered was the smallest. I chose SunMade for a number of reasons. I like the SUNPOWER panels that they use. The presentation that I was given by their educator, Chris, was very straightforward, honest and easy to understand. I never felt that Chris was trying to do anything more than understand my needs, and simply tell me of what they could offer. I liked that they are very well reviewed by others who purchased systems from them. I like that they have an A+ rating from Better Business Bureau, and that they are Diamond Certified. The presentation, follow-up communications with them, the reviews from others, and the ratings that they have earned gave me confidence that they would be a good company to work with. Our system was installed less than one month after we signed the contract with SunMade. The crew that installed the system was excellent. Installation was done in a professional and aesthetically pleasing manner. In less than two months after installation, P.G. & E. did their inspection and gave their permission to operate the system. SunMade handled everything; submitted system for permit approval and received permit, paperwork provided to and scheduling with P.G. & E, and all other tasks needed to complete the system. They made it a very easy and trouble-free purchase. Everyone (Chris, Amanda, Julia, Oz, and the crew that installed) that I interacted with from SunMade were professional, courteous, honest, informative, and responded promptly. They impressed me, and I am confident that anyone else looking to buy a solar system for their home would be happy if they chose SunMade Energy. read more
