My family and I enjoyed the entire process working with Eco Construction, from contract signing to project completion. There are so many solar companies to choose from in San Diego, but I’m happy we went with ECE. First, they peaked my interest knowing they are a majority woman owned company and also that they are licensed to do construction projects as well. After the solar installation went smoothly, we ended up hiring them to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms! They have literally changed our entire living experience and made our home feel like brand new.
Nationwide Sun said they would provide me with the best solar equipment and the best price in there proposal. I got lots of pricing from other solar companies, but Nationwide gave me the best price and best equipment. They are just Superior and the installation of the solar system was perfect and error less. They sized the solar system perfectly because my May, June and July electric bill was Zero, when it is normally $350-$400 per month.
If you want Solar on your house or business, select Nationwide Sun,
They are a Superior Solar Company.

After reviewing a handful of quotes on the marketplace, we went with YES, which was not the cheapest. We chose YES mainly because they were local to us, had very good reviews on other media and they had a reputation for using quality components. We began the process in October, and we obtained an approximate installation date the week following Thanksgiving. YES assisted with the completion and submission of our HOA application. After being approved, their surveying staff arrived to conduct an initial assessment. Plans were drawn up and submitted to the County by YES, and after all the permits were approved, work began within about a week. I found their surveying and installation team to be very professional, respectful and neat. The install took less than a day. During the install process, their team removed a handful of roof tiles, and set them aside neatly for us. I was impressed with the quality of their worksmanship, including but not limited to the signage on our access boxes.

When we decided to go solar, I responded to several ads from the big solar companies and spoke with various salespeople at length about the services they offered. Then, in the interest of staying local, I decided to check out Taylor Energy. To be honest, I didn’t think a smaller local company could compete with the larger companies either in terms of price or speed of installation. Thankfully, I was wrong! After all the research I did, I feel confident that Taylor Energy provided better pricing and a much faster turnaround time than any of the larger companies. In terms of service, all the people at Taylor Energy were helpful, kind, down-to-earth, and definitely knew their business. They worked with us closely to determine the optimal solar panel arrangement and inverter location. They smoothly navigated the permit, inspections, and PG&E details. The installation was efficient, it looks great, and I feel confident about their workmanship and warranties. Best of all, we were able to support a local business and get to know some new people in our community. I highly recommend Taylor Energy!

In a word. . . impressive. I started this process towards the beginning of the year not even imagining that this would go as well as it had. I decided to educate myself, and fortunately I came across SunWork during my research. I couldn’t have asked for a better scenario because I was the perfect candidate for their business model, customers who are interested in learning the in’s and out’s of the system and how it is all put together. Mind you, if you want to be hands off, they cater to that as well, but I think they really would rather have their customers get involved as much or as little as they would like. Before I found SunWork and reached out to them, my mindset was that I was going to do this completely on my own. I feel like going through this process and learning what I did, I have a greater understanding and could probably get it done on my own. SunWork provided me the opportunity to take my baby steps when it came to getting this project going. When I first reached out to SunWork, because of the ‘S’ Tile on my roof, it wasn’t looking like it was going to be a reality. I’ll be honest, I begged and pleaded to work with this non-profit, because I knew they were EXACTLY what I was looking for, and I believed the same was true of them, whether they knew it or not. I think I may have convinced them when I showed them that I was in this for all the right reasons. I was not looking just for a bargin, although that was a huge selling point for me, I was looking for a partner and a teacher, Bryan (project leader) was just that. After a bit of begging and convincing, I was told Bryan would have to do a site survey and he would be the final decision making authority. My wife and I waited for our site survey with Bryan and crossed our fingers for the best. When Bryan arrived I did my best not to try and scare him away with how much I wanted to work with him, it worked. He did a very thorough and meticulous site survey and I knew this was exactly what we needed for our home. Bryan got back to me after a few days, said the ‘S’ Tiles were typically a no-go for the volunteer model, but we could make it work, since they were of good quality. My wife, uncle and I attended both free workshops, (which I also highly recommend) one for volunteer training and the other for “Going Solar”, which, by that time we already had a signed contract and a project date confirmed. I went to the class eager to learn and nervous about getting volunteers, especially since we live in Orcutt. I believe by the end of the workshops we had a full list for both days. Fast forward a couple weeks and the project was upon us. Bryan, myself, my uncle, my wife and volunteers got to work. Bryan was so patient as we had a crew of first timers, but as we went the work seemed to flow pretty well. Everyone had a job and a purpose. At times I felt a bit useless, as I was pretty unsteady on my feet and around these types of tools, but I felt included and I felt like I had a purpose in being there, not just a spectator. Bryan worked hard, even surpassing the normal “work” hours to get us ahead of schedule for the following days work, which was really admirable. I’m glad Bryan did that for us because it turns out there was a last minute cancellation (no fault on the part of SunWork) for volunteer. My uncle, Bryan and myself worked hard to get the panels up, wired and the system online by the early afternoon. I could go on about SunWork, Bryan and why solar is so important. I will, but not in this format, I plan on volunteering and doing what I can to get SunWork more projects and more happy people. Bryan was a pleasure to work with, I guarantee your system won’t be slapped together and thrown into place like a commercial installer does.

We had California Builders install 8 K of solar on our rebuild in Paradise Ca. David was willing to negotiate with us for a price that fit our budget. He communicated with us promptly throughout the process, and the follow up has been good. We are happy with the work and service California Builders provided.

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.
I was impressed with their customer service, product and pricing. But I was really impressed with how clean the installation was. The crew was very friendly and informative. They went out of their way to make sure there was no conduit showing. We have the cleanest installation in our neighborhood. Thanks Everygreen Solar
