Honest Company!

Tim and his team were great! From the moment they contacted me they made me feel like I was a valued customer. They took the time to come out and talk to me about the whole process. If I ever had any questions he was always assuring me that I could call, text or email him. He gave me an incredible price that beat out many competitors I had talked to. He is an honest business owner and a veteran (an added bonus) He doesn't do subpar work he uses quality products and is at every install. This is one of the few solar companies that has been around for 10 years and they were able to provide referrals from previous jobs, which made me feel a lot better about where my money was going. His sales rep was a nice young man he was always available to talk and would occasionally check up on me. I never felt pressured by them to buy, which made the experience comfortable. He was also very quick from the time I signed to installation took about 3 weeks! Would definitely recommend Golden State Solar to anyone looking for solar! Thank you TIm!

Professional, Informative & Efficient

Our experience with Golden State Solar was excellent. The install crew was very detailed and even found problems on my roof that had been there prior to inspection. Tim clearly communicated the process and answered all our questions thoroughly. He even called after installation to make sure there were no problems. I would highly recommend his company to anyone ready to start saving on their electricity bill!

Homeowner

Design, installation, timing and price were all exactly as predicted. Installer made a follow up visit two days later just to assure system was working as expected. Turned 78 degree water into 87 degree water. Very, very pleased.

Great Customer Service

I hired Golden State Solar after many of my neighbors had used him. He was prompt, courteous, and his price was great. They showed up each day on time and were ready to work. He has now done 6 homes on our court and we are all very happy with the results. I would recommend anyone to hire this company.

Great local company that I can’t recommend enough!!

We're so glad we found Tim and Golden State Solar! There are so many solar companies that have gone out of business in the last few years it was good to find one that has been in business for 10 years with a good CSLB standing. After getting quotes from 3 others companies, it was truly a refreshing experience. Where other companies would try to lock you with one PV Solar Panel manufacturer, or in one system size, Tim went over multiple different systems with us, explaining the pro and cons for each. Tim then sized our system according to our historical PG&E data. We had a tiny 100 amp panel that would not work with the system so for the price of the materials and permit ($750) he changed it out to a 200 amp panel. Something that would normally cost us $2500-$3000. Tim was always prompt to answer our texts, calls, and email questions, and we really enjoyed his positive energy and positive attitude. He's a funny guy.<br /><br />Based on a lot of research that we did and also thanks to Tim's advice We decided to go with the high efficiency Solaria panels, with SolarEdge optimizers and inverter. According to Tim's calculation we'll break even in about 6 years (we purchased our system), most likely sooner since PG&E keeps increasing their rates.<br /><br />Golden State Solar gave us a 10 year craftsmanship warranty and the panels and microinverters have a 25 years manufacturer warranty. <br /><br />Golden State Solar was the most competitive in terms of pricing, especially on a high efficiency system we chose. <br />Golden State Solar also has a full time crew with a journeyman electrician so nothing gets given to a subcontractor. Tim also was a the job everyday to oversee construction and they were always on time.<br />Our first meeting with Tim was on May 3rd.<br /><br />We hired him and signed the contract on May 4th. <br /><br />Tim posted the permits on may 7th. <br /><br />The material for the job arrived at our home on May 9th. <br /><br />Tim and his crew showed up on May 14th and were done and passed final inspection on the May 16th. <br /><br />On the 19th we received the PTO letter from PG&E and Tim came right out and turned on the system on a Saturday! He also stayed to show us how to operate the breakers, and other turn off devices. He also installed the Monitoring app on our computer and phone then showed us how to use it. So in total in 16 days we were free from PGE insane rate increases. Thats amazing! All other companies were 4 to 6 weeks and much more expensive.<br /><br />In summary Golden State Solar was awesome from start to finish, Tim perfectly designed our system, was the only sales rep to actually go on the roof and check everything, he even came back twice after installation was complete to make sure that everything was fine.<br /><br />Great local company that I can't recommend enough!!
