Meeting the Dec. 31 deadline for tax credit was of utmost importance to us, and despite it adding a…read morelot of anxiety to this project, California Solar and Electric came through with their promise to get it done, and with time to spare. Their quote, plus their high reviews made them the logical choice, and we have no regrets. From the person who did the site inspection, Jose, to the installers, everyone seemed very friendly, respectful of our property/wishes, and it was clear they were experienced and knew what they were doing. Being up against a deadline, we really couldn't afford to fail the city inspection, and we passed easily. Thanks to the salesman Mark Howe for his direction, & to Henry Melling for a great design and implementation. We were not excited at the idea of having all that stuff on the side of our house, but honestly, the installation was so neatly done, with a few plants added over there, I'm sure we can acclimate. The battery placement in the garage was genius -- up and out of our way! Everything is functioning as it should, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend California Solar & Electric. THANKS to them for a job well done, and ON TIME!! We couldn't be happier.

I swear Dean is the most patient (no pressure) sales guy I've ever met. Yo say he is thorough is an understatement. He carefully looks at all information available from the types of systems to the pros and cons of each and tailors them to the individual's requirements. The best part is he doesn't oversell you on things you don't need. In my case I wanted a system to eventually be ready for an electric car. Dean wisely advised not to buy the extra pieces now when they would be of no value to me, but ensured my system would be ready for upgrades when I was ready. Since our initial install we have upgraded our system on 3 occasions, each time carefully planned out to maximize the value of the equipment and to get the best bang for the buck. In short if I could give 10 stars I would. If you are interested in learning about solar give them a call. You won't be sorry.

In our case, we had him place the panels in an alternate location from his original plan since golf balls often hit the side of our house and roof, as we live on a fairway. Everything was perfect.

Here is my journey from start to finish--and why I'm extremely happy with the result:…read more Initial Consultation: Ish recommended a design that allowed me to install more solar panels than what other vendors proposed. His approach required a small modification that no other vendor had ever mentioned, and it made a meaningful difference in system capacity. Design Phase: Ish and his team were incredibly flexible in accommodating my specific preferences for how the panels should be grouped and connected to each Tesla Powerwall 3. We held several conference calls with their technician and architect to review and validate the design, and they were consistently willing to collaborate and adjust based on my input. Installation Experience: The installation itself was much quicker than I expected. The longest part of the process was simply waiting for the Tesla Powerwall 3 units which was a Tesla supply delay, not theirs. Rebate Assistance: They also helped me secure a rebate that I wasn't even aware of, which was a great added bonus. Overall: Ish and his crew went above and beyond. I've done extensive research on how to fully maximize the Tesla Powerwall 3, and through my conversations with them, I was able to clearly confirm their technical expertise and confidence in delivering a high-quality installation. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

They're truly an outstanding local company, that has the efficiency and experience of a global company. When we were exploring solar earlier this year, we received three bids from different companies, and decided on Brighten given other customers' reviews and experience, competitive pricing, reliable communication, and deep expertise in solar. They did not disappoint. Everything was streamlined and clear. Cash was there with a handshake and a promise at the start, and end. Kyle stepped foot on our property, assessed all needs of our project, and continued communication throughout the entire project. Lea supported throughout in friendly, reliable communication, while capturing seriously pro drone shots of our finished project. Daniel, Quentin, and Spencer were amazing when the time came to put those beautiful panels on our home, making trapeze artists blush with their balance and hard work. Finally, Jeremy, Marine, and Ben were also amazing help throughout the entire process. If you're lucky enough to live in the area Brighten Solar operates, I would highly recommend not wasting your time searching elsewhere - these guys are the best. A truly socially- and environmentally-focused business putting the customer first.

Disappointing Service and Zero Follow-Through…read more On March 12, 2024, we contacted California Solar Electric (CSE) because our solar system failed. A technician named Roy diagnosed the issue as a failed inverter. We paid $4,730.87 for a replacement, which was installed on April 24. Just two months later, the system failed again. On July 1, CSE said the system had simply been unplugged, a questionable diagnosis since there was no reason for someone to do that and our roof can only be accessed by ladder. The system failed again on November 13. Roy came out on January 24, 2025, got it running again, but didn't explain what he did. When the system failed yet again on February 17, I called CSE and spoke with Chris, the only helpful person at CSE, who said a technician would follow up. Since then, I've called five more times, speaking with either Chris or another tech, Josh. Each time I'm told someone will get back to me. No one ever does. After paying nearly $5,000, I would expect reliable service and timely communication. Instead, I've experienced recurring system failures, and no accountability or follow-through from CSE. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for professional and dependable solar servicing.
