Ocean Solar

We have had solar at our home since 2007; the original installer left the business after a few years and left us with a system vulnerable to squirrels, who chewed through the wires and shorted out the system. We found a second company who told us half our panels weren't usable and disconnected one of our inverters since we didn't need it anymore; we now had only half the power generated than we originally had. They supposedly installed squirrel-proofing, but two years later squirrels shorted out the system again. Trying to locate the company, we discovered they had sold out to a nationwide organization that was getting terrible customer service reviews. Then we found Bill Driscoll and Ocean Solar and our problems were over! Bill discovered that the squirrel proofing had never been installed. He took down and tested all the panels, rewiring some until he got all of them working again. He got our second inverter out of storage and did an amazing amount of testing and research to get it working again. We now have a system that is like new, generating its full potential of solar power. And, yes, we have industrial-strength squirrel guards to protect it!
The work was done on time, they came when they said they would, and did an admirable job cleaning up the work site.... read more
