A teamwork approach was employed to manage each contracted project from quotation, installation, inspection, permitting, commissioning, even rebate assistance. A project manager was assigned to oversee projects through different stages for a final successful completion. Pricing is very competitive without much hassle. Thanks to Citadel team. -CliffT

I bought solar because I wanted lower electric bills and a system I wouldn't have to think about…read more Instead, I've spent the last several months dealing with a system that stopped working in early March and still isn't working the way it should. When this first happened, my system wasn't producing any solar power at all. Since then I've had multiple technician visits, a lot of emails and text messages, and the same problem keeps coming back. After a technician comes out it might work for a day or two, then the production drops again. Months later, it's still not producing what it should. To be fair, communication was actually pretty good in the beginning. My emails were answered quickly and appointments were scheduled. But as time went on, the responses became slower and slower. I found myself having to send follow up emails just to get updates. At one point I was told they would keep me posted about the next appointment. After more than three weeks without hearing anything, I had to follow up myself. The next appointment wasn't offered until after I reached out. One thing that really frustrated me was being told my system looked fine because there were no alerts. That was hard to understand when the system was clearly not producing like it had before all of this started. I even explained that it would seem to work after a technician visit, then the production would drop again shortly after. After months of dealing with the same issue, I asked for my case to be escalated to management. That request wasn't even acknowledged. No one responded to it. No manager reached out. It was like I never even asked. The whole time this has been going on, I've still been making my monthly solar payment while also paying higher PG&E bills because my system isn't producing what it should. I have every email and text message saved from this whole process. This wasn't one bad appointment or one repair that didn't work. This has been months of temporary fixes, waiting for the next appointment, then finding out the problem still isn't fixed. At this point I honestly wish I could have the whole system removed and get my money back. I never expected buying solar to turn into something this frustrating. I gave Citadel every opportunity to make this right. I was patient because I know things can go wrong. After months of dealing with the same issue, I finally decided it was time to share my experience

At any rate I've received consistent and professional services from this company. BTW: I also purchased my whole house generator from this company and I've been very happy ever since. I highly recommend them. I guess I should mention why they've been over "so much" and that is because I have them do regular maintenance and service. They know what they're doing and they keep my equipment running beautifully.

As it turned out, the best option was a completely new system, which was definitely a bigger decision than we originally anticipated. What I appreciated most was that Kody never made us feel rushed or pressured. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions and walk us through the details. And then they really impressed us with how quickly everything came together. They were back the very next day and the day after as it was a two day job, with a full team of installers and replaced the entire system, including new ducting, insulation, and everything that went along with it. The crew worked hard, was professional, and got the whole job done efficiently. Replacing an HVAC system is definitely not how anyone wants to spend their money, but having a team that makes the process this easy makes a HUGE difference. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Kody and the installation team. Highly recommend!

The installment team came (three members) and were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable! When it was completed they were careful to vacuum the carpets and were very detail oriented.

Fair price with multiple discounts, knowledgeable estimator, polite and caring office staff, and skilled installation teams. From beginning to end the process was easy, fast, and affordable. Thanks Greiner for another positive experience!

If you're looking for a great experience, a local company that's professional, reasonable, and goes…read moreout of its way to meet your needs. This is the place. I was very skeptical about getting Solar because of the stories I'd heard about the rebates, and I was worried about the "catch." After getting multiple bids on the project and the system that I needed, this company was able to do it right. They quoted me a reasonable price for the design, whereas other companies pushed leasing, which cost more over time, and others wanted to charge way more for the system because of the rebate increase. Missing leading customers, overcharging, and lacking the best financing options. Daniel, however, was very reasonable and professional, explaining it step-by-step. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. He was able to get the system up promptly and was very professional, as I have a newborn at home. It wasn't inconvenient when I asked questions, and he would respond even if he had a long day on other projects, which I appreciate. I cannot say the same about others. I thought the others were trying to make a commission and even wanted to contract parts of the job like Bird shielding. Which for the price is ridiculous. If you're looking for solar and you want a great experience, you need to look into this company. You will not regret it! Thank you for your service and quality work.

Everything went as planned and as promised, we couldn't be any happier.

Monthly electricity bill savings are at around .40%. Need I say more Thank you Tony J!

(to prevent pigeons ) They told me and my wife on at least five occasions, that we were in the schedule and not to worry. I took the owner and office manager at their word. I was personally while looking in the owners eyes that bird netting would be installed. Last week they sent the salesman over to drop off a box of bird netting and said it wasn't in the contract so they were not going to have it installed. We had 2 different contracts so I don't honestly know if it was there or not, but I take a man at his word. Micheal (Owner) gave me his word while we were waiting on the city inspection of the power box. Now I fear my warranty on the entire system is as WORTHLESS as his word.
