Skytech Solar

Skytech's own web page says, "CHECK OUT ALL OF OUR REVIEWS. WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE." So I would ask them why they are currently being investigated by the State Attorney General's office for violations of the Business and Professions Code so severe they could end up losing their license over them. It turns out that super-sweet sales guy, Chas Learned, was operating without a valid sales license and was not even employed by Skytech, a fact he never bothered to disclose even though he was the one who signed my contract. But more importantly, Skytech did tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to my property by falling to seal the penetrations they made in my roof for the railings that hold the solar panels, which they have so far not been leaping at the chance to correct. instead, they have hired an army of lawyers, tried repeatedly to prevent me from posting about them on Yelp, and in general have put a lot more energy into discrediting and dismissing me than into admitting they made a mistake. If it were me, I would way rather just deal with my mistakes than go mano-a-mano with Kamala Harris's office. But that's apparently not the way that Skytech Solar chooses to do business. The Contractor's State License Board, which referred these complaints to the AG's office, is an incredibly valuable resource in finding out the truth about companies you hire to do construction work. They exist solely to protect consumers. I highly recommend consulting them if you want to know more about businesses like Skytech.

Skytech Solar was one out of three highly rated companies listed on the "GoSolarSF" list of companies that I contacted.
Out of these three, the rep for Skytech Solar was the only one who actually bothered to go up on my roof and measure shading/look at the roof. Also, he noticed two issues with our electrical system that were overlooked by the other companies (water line not grounded, inspector might ask for second grounding rod).
Having done my research, I asked all three companies for a specific system with LG Panels/Enphase inverters and Skytech also came back with the most competitive bid, including fixing the two electrical issues they noted.
Scheduling the installation in Dec. 2014 was a little tricky, due to weather, but Skytech managed to get it done and knocked out the install in one day.
We had a very thorough City inspector, but nonetheless the system passed inspection right off the bat.
Skytech also handled all the paperwork regarding city permit/net metering/Go Solar SF rebate and everything went through smoothly.
Everybody at Skytech was very pleasant to deal with and so far the system has exceeded the performance that I expected.
Highly recommended.
