Cal-Solar did a superb job in installing my 140 kWh system. I was very impressed with the professionalism and expertise of the system which is performing better than promised.
My house, built in the ’60s, is atypical. Keith came out after I accepted the quote and went over the site. I pointed out my concerns about ventilation with the roof since I’d switched from tar & gravel to elastomeric seven years before. In connection with the solar job, he arranged for an excellent and reasonable roofer to take care of the problems with my roof. The electrical wand that brought power into my house had rusted away and was routed through galvanized piping in a way that made my attic impassable. He fixed the wand and rerouted the power to the main and box as part of the job. He threw in a 50V receptacle from the new solar breaker box for my EV (my main box was full). The outage time was minimal. Although the crawl space is very uncomfortable and he had to do lengthy troubleshooting on my switch box to get all the neutral connections set right, he never complained about extra work. He patched the sheetrock well and was very clean. He kept in touch with me the whole time and always showed up when he said he would. It was lots of work but it was in an efficient and timely manner while we were on lockdown for Coronavirus (electrical work was allowed as essential). He had to return for a remote inspection via cell phone with the County. Included in the job was battery backup by Sonnen that took some time to set up but I am very pleased with it. I am happy with the job and will use them again when I’m ready to add some more panels and increase battery capacity.

My installation, a 36 panel, 8.5 kw on my shop roof, was completed in June of 2011. A problem was discovered shortly after completion that involved a defect in a couple of inverters. They replaced all of the inverters at that time. In the nearly 9 years a small, intermittent glitch occurred which was quickly resolved at no charge to me. This installation has performed better than expected and my power bill has been negligible every month. It paid for itself in 6.5 years and was one of the best investments I ever made!

It took us about 3 years to finally go solar. After going back and forth between a few companies we finally decided to choose Solar Price Discovery. There were significant differences in price and the warranty that they provided, and they were the only company that was able to explain everything clearly. Their customer service was outstanding throughout the project and installation went smoothly. If you are interested in solar, I would definitely recommend giving them a call, especially if you want to know what you are getting.

Advantage: LOCAL in OC. Recommended by word of mouth. My friends were very happy with them. Certified Panasonic installer.
Sales consultant – Jeremey was great. OC Solar is extremely efficient in communicating with you – available to answer all questions by phone/text/email. Instead of relying on phone or virtual appts, the property is evaluated using satellite resources + history of electrical bills and quote is provided immediately. No unnecessary sales pitch, right to the point.
Execution of work: I did not get a weekly update as explained in the beginning. However, my job was on a smaller scale and the contract began in Dec 2020 during COVID pandemic. Replies to my inquiries were prompt. Had issues with the existing type of roof tiles that required added roofing work. Again, handled well between Ashton (proj manager) & Jeremey. All the workers were professional and courteous.
Result: Panels look great. My options were Panasonic vs LG panels. OC Solar certainly helped me with my decision making. My friends were happy with their post-installation service.

Compared to the five other companies bidding for the solar upgrades, YouVee solar’s quick response to my individual questions and concerns was the driving force with choosing their service. I received a response back from the company within 48 hours; followed up with 3-4 emails that same week. Hands down, they’re my choice for the high desert area.
