BEST by FAR!!

We met with 3 of the "Big" solar companies. After weighing the pros and cons we realized the best bet for us would be to purchase a system. Their prices were all around 36K for roof mount. Because of our location we wanted ground mount which all 3 would charge an extra $1500. Each of the "Big 3" also told us to forget about the CA solar rebate, concentrate on the federal rebate. Still not comfortable with these companies we found COSMIC SOLAR on the web. This company looked small but got 100% great reviews. On a Sat afternoon we call the number, planning to leave a message that could be returned on Monday. To our surprise, owner Bahram Shadzi answered his own phone! We explained our plans and asked for a bid we could compare with our other bids. Within 2 hours we had a bid in our in box. This bid for a ground mount $8,000 less than the other companies. COSMIC SOLAR'S charge per each panel was half what the other "Big 3" charged, and the solar panels used by COSMIC SOLAR were larger and top rated, plus NO EXTRA fee for ground mount. <br />Working with COSMIC SOLAR has been a dream! Mary in the office made sure we were on the calendar. Owner Bahram personally came out to inspect property, discuss best placement and get all paperwork taken care of. He suggested we put in 30 panels instead of 28. We paid $1,000 to start and not another penny until the system was turned on. Co owner Judith did ALL the paper work for our rebates, and not just for federal! She also did all the paper work and submitted our system to California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE). Pey and the team were amazing during permits and the installation process. We didn't have to do anything! Job started and was completed right on time. The installation crew were hard workers, nice and funny. You could tell they liked working together. They left no mess at all. After filing our 2013 taxes we received a federal check for $9,000. April of this year we received a check from CA for another $1,500!! If it hadn't been for Judith at COSMIC SOLAR we would not have even submitted to CA. With these refunds our $28,000 solar system became a $17,500 system! (keep in mind the "Big 3" wanted $36,000 for my same system) What a great find top to bottom, COSMIC SOLAR!
