We selected Sunline Energy for our rooftop solar after an extensive
bid process from 5 different local solar companies. Various factors went into
the decision that included ratings, price, choice of components, schedule,
installation methods, management and company size. Additionally, we were impressed
that the company sent out one of its owners, Hayden Gersen, to evaluate our
requirements and provide options while continuing to work with us through the
selection process. Although most of the sales personnel from the other
companies were quite good, we put more credence in the commitments that Hayden made.
We signed the contract in early July and were told the system would be up and
operating in two months, worst-case. Six weeks later we were producing electricity
and on the grid. During the installation, Sunline had a problem obtaining our
panels twice due to distributer problems. Twice they remedied the problem by
providing an extra panel to make up for a slight decrease in wattage with the
alternate panels. The bottom line was that we received a 4.8Kw system rather
than a 4.355Kw system as contracted for, and for no extra cost or schedule
delays. We did not ask for any this, it was simply offered when they realized
there was a problem. Not everyone will be this fortunate, but it really
demonstrated their commitment to the customer. The installation was performed
over a three-day period with one day just for roof preparation. The system is working perfectly. Inspection (Carlsbad)
and SDG&E approval took about a week.
Some notes on Sunline. Their entire staff was easy to work
with, responsive and courteous. There is an attitude impressed upon them that
the customer is king. We dealt with Jennifer and Hayden during the bid process,
Rachel during the build/install phase, Alex in engineering and the installation
team led by Cody. If something was needed such as a new quote or a revised
engineering drawing, they would work into the evening or on weekends to
complete it. Also, the installation team paid a lot of attention to job safety
and details such as routing and painting conduit for aesthetic purposes. I had a lot of time to talk to the crew who were
a very happy lot working for this company. Sunline commits to their employees
as much as their customers. You do not want an unhappy work crew working on
your roof. I did find out that a lot of the popular local solar companies (as
well as national) use union contract labor on the installs which wasn?t as
attractive to me as they do not typically have the loyalty that these employees
had. Lastly, if you have ever been in business, you can appreciate the value of
?cash flow?. They do pay attention to this which tells me they are very well
run. Make sure you pay your bill when invoiced, because they are on top of it.
I was home during the entire installation and the crew
seemed to have no problem with that. Being a retired engineer, I paid a lot of
attention to what was going on and can say that the installation was done very
professionally. Hats off to Cody! There were a few minor fits and starts along
the way, but everything was completed in three days.
Sunline Energy is a great company and we highly recommend
them.
I looked at national and regional companies when deciding on solar energy. I found the overall value proposition was greater with Sunline vs the competition. My only area for suggested improvement was cleanup but this was minor and they fixed whatever I asked. It did not impact my final rating of 5 stars.
