Amazing Experience

Absolutely fantastic customer service from start to finish. We didn't have to do a thing and our panels look AMAZING!!! Showed up on time, communication was great throughout. I can't say enough great things about them. We would definitely recommend them.

Disappointed | Clovis, California | 12/06/2023

Solar Purchase Nightmare!

Nova West Solar recommended that we purchase 28 panels from their company which was to cover our daily energy consumption. We continue to receive monthly electric bills from PGE and pay an annual True up bill in excess of $1800. When we reached out to Nova West Solar Company and asked them to help us eliminate our annual True up bills, they refused and now refuse to monitor and support the 28 solar panels installed on our property that we purchased from their company.

Do not Recommend

Cannot recommend this company. Poor communication, poor repairs of water lines they broke . They gave PG&E wrong meter number , they were supposed to aggregate both our meters but never did . Unanswered phone calls and emails. Use a different company!

Nova West is the company we recommend

We began our solar search about a year ago. We were looking to relocate to a smaller home that already had solar. We found a home however it didn’t have solar, so our solar search began. We spoke with family, friends & neighbors with solar. Someone suggested Nova West. Best call we ever made!! Now we did receive less expensive quotes from other companies however it was the people, as well as the product that Nova West offers that made all the difference. Andrew, Gary and the Whole team are always professional, , knowledgeable and Never rushed or pressured us to buy. They were very patient with us, even when we had a family delay. They had given us a couple quotes with different options and after comparing all The quotes We received Nova West was the most cost effective(great value) and the warranty Package second to none. If you are searching for solar you need to speak to Andrew at Nova West before making your solar decision. Thank you So much To Everyone at Nova West You really are the best!!! Thanks again.

Almost a five star, but...

I did a fair amount of research and interviewed multiple solar contractors prior to choosing Nova West to install Panasonic panels. Having just completed installation in July we haven’t had a lot of opportunity to measure results yet, but the August PGE electricity bill looked great so the equipment seems to be delivering. The Nova West installation, engineering, and internal staff did a wonderful job as well completing all the work very professionally and timely. The one area where I felt a lot of frustration was that communications were sorely lacking. This is a big investment and with a lot of moving parts to the process. This could have been a much more comfortable experience as a customer with a little more guidance and setting of expectations. Even after completion of the install there were a couple of weeks when we weren’t sure what was going on. Maybe I’m just old fashioned but I still appreciate a “thank you” from the salesperson when the job is complete. That said, I feel comfortable that we made a good choice overall in going with a quality product and company.

Great solar and great service

We had our solar system installed in May of 2016!!!!Our power bills have gone form 100s of dollars a month to at the most 40 dollars or less in the all except winter months( due to gas for our heater)!! The service is great and their interest in our satisfaction is outstanding!!!! I really recommend Nova West for solar!!!!!!!

Lesson Learned, NovaWest Simply the Best!

The most important thing I can say in this review is: if you want an amazing system from someone who knows what he's talking about and does exactly what he says, GIVE BALKAR AT NOVAWEST A CALL !! Like most people investing a large sum of money into a solar system I did copious amounts of research on panels and companies and then invited 9 companies out to get quotes. I wanted the best quality panels from a reliable company at a fair installation price. I also wanted a warranty that showed me the company backed their panel's production for 25 years. There were cheeper options but reliability, system specs, warranty etc only left two companies that stood out: NovaWest and “the other one” (they don't deserve a mention). And I initially chose “the other one” because their gimmicks got me. After being lied to and ignored for 4 months by the other guys I went back to Balkar at NovaWest, reviewed options and signed a contract. Within 45 days my system was on my roof and turned on making me money before summer even started. Balkar was very exact in his review of my roof and system production capacity. He did exactly what he stated. My June-August electric bill running my AC 24/7 in Clovis with a pool, $18.48! But because NovaWest put the system up in 45 days I was making money in March so I still have true-up credits. Thanks to NOVAWEST.

Nova West Solar Excellent Solar Company

Nova West Solar is a great company that installed 38 panels on my home. They have really great prices and a professional team that does excellent work from start to finish. They even cleaned up after the job and took care of issues with PG&E (not their fault), that slowed the job down. Hire this company now you will not be disappointed !<br />Less

Nova West has been a very professional company to work with.

Nova West has been a very professional company to work with. We choose this company because they thoroughly explained the whole process with us and answered all of our many questions. With each step of the process of installing them, they explained what they were doing. The employees were always very courteous and always called back promptly if we had more questions or concerns. We have literally saved hundreds of dollars each month since getting solar put in. It has been one of the best home improvements we have done since moving in. It will definitely pay for itself in the long run.
