Installation went fine. My system stopped after nine days. My complaint is they are not a good service company. They said it would take nine days to get a tech out. He came, opened up the system and declared it needed a new cpu card. Two weeks to get that and then another nine days for the tech to get to my house. The cpu didn't fix the problem so the tech ordered a whole new system. Two weeks for that to come in and another nine days for the scheduling of the tech. My system was down for over a month. I learned that they have 4 techs for the whole San Diego county. If you buy from them, make sure to get a max time for them to provide service .

After a few days I climbed onto the roof a looked at the work and found unsecured edges on some roof patches they had put over test holes they drilled to find the joists in the roof.  I sent an email to my salesman, Albert Ly, who has been a perfect professional (highly recommended).  They sent someone to repair it and he sent the original crew headed by Zack to redo some grounding from the roof. 

Everything looks good for now.  Patches are secured to the roof, the grounding is up to code.

Getting solar panels is a long process but now that is complete I am very happy with the results.


Do check the work of the crew even if you don't know exactly what you are looking for and call for correction .  It's your house.

Their service is very great.  They were very professional when they came to install the panel before.  I want other members to know that they offer a very good product and the people who installed it were very consistent and approachable.   

I think their price is competitive.

I couldn't be more pleased. They did an excellent job. The technician who estimated how many panels we needed did such a good job that I pay a very small amount for gas, saving me around $3,000 a year.

Their pricing was very, very competive. They are great in working with the customer to find an affordable energy system. The only thing is they take a little bit longer to install the system and for the entire process. It actually only took two days to install the system but the whole process with the inspection requirements and the home inspection, took about two months. The system works great. They were good about explaining things as well. I would rate them overall a B.
