Before installation and cleaning.
Desmond S.

Extremely professional and polite. They were able to give me an earlier appointment and gave me a call and I got me in a week early. Santino came to install my pigeon guard and completed the job without any issues. He kept me updated throughout the installation process and provided me with plenty of pictures. I definitely recommend their services to friends and family.

Had our panels cleaned today and I'm so happy with how beautiful they look. All dirt, dust and film are gone! He was fast, efficient and reliable and I am so glad I chose The Solar People. They offer affordable solar care and will be coming regularly to care for ours!

Santino is super responsive and thoroughly answers all my questions regarding the cleaning techniques, brush, and water details on solar panel cleaning. I had them cleaned before and he was able to beat their pricing and schedule me in sooner as well. He took before and after photos of his work, and boy, were my panels dirty! Very professional and reliable work. I will be a returning customer. Posted pics were taken by him and sent to me.

Santino did an amazing job cleaning our solar panels and the customer service he provided was exceptional. We are very pleased with the results and will definitely use The Solar People again.

I'm new Solar and this is the first time I've had my panels cleaned. Santino was great! He was quick to respond to my inquiry and gave me a very reasonable quote. I live in Visalia and The Solar People are based in Fresno. I did a little shopping around and got quotes from 5 companies in Visalia, and TSP beat their prices without even knowing it. The entire process from our first contact to quote to scheduling I was presented with exceptional customer service. Santino was professional, thorough and explained everything he was doing and the equipment he would use. I have 12 panels on a composite roof and he was done in 30ish minutes and he text me pictures from the roof to make sure I was satisfied before he wrapped up. I will be scheduling quarterly cleanings with The Solar People! The attached photos were taken and sent to me by Santino.

Santino was responsive, professional, and personable. He spent most of the day cleaning our entire roof to take care of our pigeon problem. He installed pigeon guards around all of our solar panels and since then we haven't heard any pigeons on the roof or seen droppings all over our yard. We plan to have him back in a few months to clean the panels again and check on the situation up there. Definitely satisfied!

Before

The owner, Santino, was really professional and hard worker. I called for a quote to clean the bird poop on my roof and panels as well as install critter guard to stop pigeons from continuing to nest under the panels. There was about 20 pigeons nesting under my panels and it has been an issue over 5 years so there was a ton of bird poop. Santino gave me a quote over the phone in about 10-15 minutes. He knew what he was talking about and came out 2 days later and got the job done in one day all by himself. He didn't feel the need to bring his team to help. He did an excellent job and very through. My panels and roof looks new again and the critter guards looks great. He quoted a fair deal and I would definitely do business with him again.

I received a notification from my solar panel company that our panels were not producing as they should. I googled panel cleaning and it showed me "The Solar People." I called them and my appointment was scheduled the next day. They are friendly, polite, and they did a great job. You can see the difference in the pictures.

Zack was thorough and reasonably priced. He was very informative and did a great job. I will…read moredefinitely use him again. Thanks for all you did.

Sadly, I've had to change my review. We've been working with IPG over multiple projects, the…read morebiggest one which is right around the corner. IPG had won the contracts for our electrical, roof, and septic for a cabin we're putting on ten acres. It's extremely time sensitive as the foundation is scheduled for July. For final approval of our loan, we need to get final estimates to our bank. This was discussed with Tyler within the last couple of weeks... now he's ghosted us! I have no idea why as he won't return calls, texts, or the note I left at the address given. Now we have to find new contractors and get their estimates to the bank. We are very much at risk for not getting the loan closed in time for the foundation and beginning of the build. Tyler knows that this project has been riddled with roadblocks, primarily due to another bad contractor. Tyler knows about the time constraints. Tyler has even visited a sample cabin with me and the general contractor heading the project. Tyler knows we spent this past winter in our RV and really don't want winter #2 in there. Our septic permit expires in August. Yet, Tyler has ghosted us. He was great, until he wasn't. We NEVER saw this coming. We're hurt, angry, and confused. There is NO excuse in a business relationship for ghosting a client. At a BARE MINIMUM, you place a phone call and make the client aware your unable to do it so they can make other plans. I can't in good conscious recommend IPG. If ghosting is an acceptable practice you run the risk of winding up in the same situation we are in. By the way, he's also ghosted the general contractor who was going to throw even more work Tyler's way. He doesn't have any idea why either. The hunt for new contractors is on and I recommend you avoid IPG. This ghosting has wiped the slate clean of the good work he's done. That good work means nothing if we don't get into this cabin before winter. Instead of helping, he's now hurt us badly for no apparent reason (at least none that i know since HE WON'T RETURN MY CALLS OR MESSAGES. This really sucks.

I have used AmeriWest multiple times over the past 8 years. Replaced power panel, added can lights,…read moreadded ceiling fans, added RV outlet. Resolved an electrical issue in my kitchen. Bathroom floor heater circuit, (not the heater itself, tiling company). The staff is friendly, Jim has followed up personally to check the work afterwards on several of the jobs. This is who I recommend when someone needs an electrician.

Last year, AmeriWest was working on wiring an additional dwelling unit and basement remodel for us…read more During this time, the Electrician (who was an apprentice) and the Project Manager would show up randomly for short periods of time. The Electrician never worked longer on site than an hour or two and then would disappear for the rest of the day. This went on for about a month until they ghosted us. The job wasn't complete and numerous portions of the quoted work hadn't even been started. We had paid a deposit, but nothing more. After not being able to get in touch with Ameriwest (this will be a theme) to get them back out to finish the job, no response to phone calls or emails (later found out they had fired their Project Manager), we hired another electrician to start/finish everything for us. We learned that the Ameriwest Electrician had neglected most of what was listed on the work order. The new Electrician worked quickly and completed the job in one week's time, putting in full days. We paid them and scheduled an inspection. At the inspection, we learned that the Ameriwest Electrician had damaged the structural integrity of our floor joists and a load-bearing wall, drilling too many holes too close together. We failed the first inspection due to this and had to pay our contractor to replace/reinforce the lumber that had been damaged. After fixing, everything passed inspection. Months went by and then we began receiving bills for the full estimate from Ameriwest, as if they had completed the work. We could not reach Jim, the owner, or Ameriwest via phone or email, though emailed billing statements would arrive to us almost weekly. After having had enough, I sent an email reply to Ameriwest's admin email account stating that we would not be paying this bill unless it was adjusted to show the work that was actually completed by Ameriwest and that we needed to receive this by a specific date. We would consider no response to mean that our deposit covered things in full. Billing statements stopped coming...for about 2 months. As the billing emails began coming again in fall of 2024, still listing the full estimate as the total, we ignored them for a while. Then I emailed again stating the work hadn't been completed. The bills stopped until spring/summer of 2025, and then they started again. I called Ameriwest again and had my mind blown when someone actually answered the phone. I was quick to explain the situation and the receptionist was just as quick to pass my call on to Jim. Jim apologized and said that we shouldn't be billed if the work wasn't completed. He wanted to talk to me more and gave me a cellphone number to text him at. I was on a backpacking trip the following week, but texted Jim as soon as I returned. Only to receive, you guessed it, no response. But the bills stopped coming...until today. Today we received another emailed bill for the full cost of the estimate plus a $500 late fee and a threat to put a lien on our house if we didn't pay. I have once again emailed, called, and texted. No response. If you have electrical work that needs doing and you want a business that is professional, HAS customer service, and will complete the work in a timely fashion, RUN away from Ameriwest!
