"Having Sunpower install our Solar panels has been a great experience. Arvin helped explain the system, process the paperwork, and made sure the installation and inspections were all done on time. Sunpower system has saved us alot in electrical costs. We are so happy with how this has turned out. Our system is actually performing 25% more efficiently than expected!! A big thanks to Arvin for all his help throughout this process."

"I had a wonderful experience with Marco from Green Choice Energy. A highly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient and friendly solar technician. His persistence in quickly locating the problem with my solar system and his follow up with the manufacturer of the inverter saved me a great deal of money on the repair. I will be calling Marco again if the need ever arises. He and the company were great, and I highly recommend them."

"We are so excited that NRG helped us to install Solar Panels on our house in San Francisco! Their entire team was wonderful from their first presentation providing us with all the information to the completion of the installation. Their installation staff was wonderful and completed the project without a hitch. Nicole Greenwood our customer service rep kept us informed of each step along the way and made everything easy. We had gotten estimates from two other companies and are glad we went with NRG. No worries and a wonderful experience. We will recommend NRG without reservation. Thanks to your whole team! Marge B."

"I started solar company research 4 years ago. I quickly canceled my research because all the companies pissed me off. It seemed like a complete scam/hustle. Then this year I started my research again. Solar power is too important, so I got back into the ring to, this time, pull the trigger and get it done. I have issues with getting the best quality at the best price. I got three quotes and then went full on into third-party solar panel comparisons, all available for free online. I plugged in the exact panels each company was quoting me. SunPower was off ALL the charts in quality, production and warranty/lasting production. Absolutely, by far the best product. But that is not my only criteria, I expect very good customer care. My salesman Marc got me dialed in and permits acquired with very little effort on my part. I had an old roof and asked a roofing friend to quote me replacing prior to solar install. Except I prefer all warranty work under the same company, so I contacted Marc to see what Stellar could do. He matched the roofing cost AND upgraded the singles to *Cooling Series* for no additional cost. Sorry for such a long review, but the best is yet to come.The installation crew. Luis, Ken, Robert and Matt. So way above and beyond in every task. Painted all my vents to match the brand new metal trim they installed. Replaced dry rot wood panels, took care of my dog Bowser, cleaned up better than when they arrived, and were the most friendly, accommodating, efficient and fun crew I could ask for. Complete 24-panel system, with brand new roof, installed to perfection AND cleaned up in 5 days!! I have done your research for you. This company is your best option! Feel free to hit me up with any questions. This company is worth it!"

"i could not be happier with OC Solar, they deserve all of the hype! i have worked with Vinnie and the oc solar team for over 5 years and done many projects with their team. they are always on time, priced well, easy to work with, and the communication is excellent. itâ s hard to find good contractors, so when you find one, you have to tell people, and OC Solar is worth putting my name on the line for. we have had them install Tesla power walls for us, specifically the tesla power wall 3. they have installed Panasonic and q cell panels for us and the installation quality is top of the line. highly recommend, 10/10. choose ur installer wisely, los Angeles is not easy to work with, so i recommend a proven company like OC Solar"

"Workers came prepared with gloves and face masks. Very knowledgeable and quick workers. Fixed both solar and hot water heaters and pressure reducing valve. Pablo even went on roof to inspect my panels and noted missing flashing over roof penetration, assisting me to visually inspect the issue. Would highly recommend."

"Baker was quick to respond and Curt came out and thoroughly explained our options. He gave me three choices in terms of how we could install a heating and cooling system for our tri-level home, which brings added complexity. We opted for splits instead of central air and couldn’t be happier with the product. The installers, Angel and Aidan, were courteous and collaborative, asking for our input every step of the way as we determine where to hang the units inside and where to run the wiring on the outside. They were done in a week. From quote to install was less than three weeks. Very pleased."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

On average, a typical fridge uses 115 kWh per month. With eight hours of sunlight per day, a 100-watt solar panel can produce 30 kWh per month. This means you’ll need at least four dedicated panels to power the refrigerator with solar energy. Consult with a solar power specialist to get a more accurate estimate.

Yes, going solar really saves money. In fact, according to some calculations, the average homeowner who switches from electric to solar power will save almost $2,000 a year on energy costs. While buying solar panels and switching to solar can be costly up front, the savings add up over time. If you can sell back extra energy or take advantage of tax incentives, your savings can be even higher.

For most U.S. homeowners, switching to solar energy is an excellent investment. A properly sized solar array can significantly reduce your electric bill, saving money on utilities every month. Most homeowners enjoy savings that cover the cost of their solar systems within 12 years and then turn a profit. Additionally, federal and state tax incentives are available that help make solar an even better and more profitable investment.
