I selected SolarUnion after an exhaustive review of about a dozen competitors — I was most interested in customer reviews and track record of completing the job. I’ve been burned before by selecting the low bid only to discover that you get what you pay for … namely, the low bidder will start adding things that are “out of scope”. SolarUnion bid a price for the work and came in at that price — no excuses for things they may have missed in the bidding process, no increases in costs for things that were left out of the original proposal. I found them to be responsive, attentive. I had two challenges with them that were overcome: (1) their primary on-site guy got sick so my job was delayed by two weeks (a few days for his health + 1 1/2 weeks to get my job re-scheduled). I felt they could have moved someone else … they claimed they put my job in ASAP. (2) I sometimes had to follow-up with status from them (which they were fast to respond) instead of them reaching out to tell me. Some of it was in my favor e.g. SolarUnion showed up on property to meet the City inspector and then I got an email (later that morning) that there would be a City inspection. Certainly not a problem. Other times, e.g. when the job was postponed, I followed up with S-U to find out what happened. HOWEVER, I’d give them 5 stars for everything that mattered — pricing, quality of work, speed of work once on-site and follow-through to make sure we’re connected to the grid. And they were always nice and responsive. I’ve already recommended them to two other friends.

We evaluated over 6 companies to install solar on our residence in San Francisco. We selected American Array Solar based upon our confidence in their offerings, value in the products provided and a competitive price. Everything is now installed and operational. We are very satisfied with the support and installation. Lorena provided sales and support. She was very responsive, clear in answers and listens well. Omar was receptive to design considerations. Fernando and his team were exceptional to work with on the installation. He and his team spent extra time to achieve special routing for the electrical. In summary, we are very pleased with both the Panasonic/Enphase solution and warranty, support and service from the American Array Solar team and the overall value of the solution.

I helped my father-in-law with his solar panel project. We chose G C Electric. Everyone was pleasant and professional to work with. They explained our choices carefully and offered a very competitive quote compared to others. The installation went smoothly and we are very happy with the results and the current solar production! I have no problem recommending G C Electric in San Diego and neighboring areas for anyone looking to get solar panels installed.

Thank you to Vince and his expert team at Future Energy! Our system is running wonderfully since installation a few months ago. Although there were some delays and permit difficulty here in our town, Vince’s team persisted and got it done. I would recommend Future Energy … they worked hard with us to make sure we had the right (and affordable) system for our needs.

Good. Easy to work with. Excellent service. We evaluated five different companies for the solar installation for our house. Glad we picked Forme Solar. They did a good job communicating throughout the project and was helpful in getting us the answers we requested.

I am happy I chose to hire SunElectric to install my solar panels. They were extremely professional. They got the installation done on time. When the city inspector came out, he also indicated they had done an exceptional job on the installation. I am enjoying the cost savings my new panels created. For instance, in the past 30 days, I have sent more power to the grid than I used on 25! Especially during times of sunshine, I’m experiencing a lot of savings. I also like the fact that I am using solar power – better for the planet. I highly recommend Greg and the folks at SunElectric.
