Alba Energy

Solar Panel Installation

Very professional!

Beautiful 10.0 kW Solar Install

Very knowledgeable solar installation company located in Austin, Texas. Unlike other solar organizations, Alba Energy does not subcontract their work, but rather uses the same in-house electricians and install crews on every project.

Excellent experience!

After tiring of high utility bills and researching the generous rebates and tax incentives available, my husband and I decided to look into solar. Alba Energy provided us with detailed proposals for two different systems and all the information we needed to make the decision to go with the larger system. Once we gave them the go-ahead, they proceeded with all the paperwork necessary for the rebates and permitting. They partner with a company that offers low-interest financing so our out-of-pocket cost was $0. The process actually took much less time than I was anticipating. Once the permits were secured, the installation took 3 days. The crew showed up promptly each day, were extremely professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, dedicated (it rained on the first day and instead of packing up and leaving, they waited until the rain passed, the roof dried out a little and they were right back to work) and very neat. Upon leaving each day, they cleaned up the area so well I wouldn’t even have known they were there. After installation, an Alba representative came and inspected the system to ensure it was ready for the CPS inspection, which occurred less than two weeks later. The CPS inspection went smoothly and they turned on the system. For the first time ever I am looking forward to my next utility bill! The entire process with Alba Energy was extremely smooth and uncomplicated. They kept in contact on a regular basis to let me know what was happening when and have also followed up after installation several times to make sure we were happy with the process and installation. Their level of expertise and professionalism is top-notch and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is considering going solar.

Apartment Project in San Antonio

Alba did a great job on a 70kW install on our complex in San Antonio. This was a tricky install on a large flat roof. They talked us through the various options for attaching the system to our roof, and coordinated with our roofer to make sure their installation would be covered in the roof warranty. The system was installed on time and under budget by the highly professional installation team. All rebate paperwork and permits were handled by their admin team, meaning that there were no headaches for us.

Alba rocks!

This was the year for solar for my wife and I. Cost of equipment is down, City of Austin rebates are still high and Federal Tax Credit is still 30%. We started looking and talked to the 4 major Solar installers in Austin. Circular Native Longhorn Alba (circular joined Alba) After talking with all of the Solar installers, 2 stood out. However we went with Alba. Alba was able to work with our flat roof, and offer high a quality design and also got very in depth with us on our questions regarding calculations, layout, and installation. During the installation I happened to be around. All of the installers were super friendly and very knowledgeable. They actually stopped what they were doing to talk to me, and explaining how it was all connected and worked. They even gave me their wiring schematic and said they could print off another one. These guys busted a@$#!. The system was installed in a few days as they worked between the rainstorms in May and all inspections passed 1st go around. I cannot say enough how happy we are with the overall system. It was delivered faster than expected per schedule, it is producing an amazing amount of power, and we are at ease with having a warranty covered by such a large company as Alba energy. We wouldn’t have changed anything! I'd be more than happy to speak with anyone regarding our experience. If you're interested talk to Alba and they can get you in touch with me :) Thanks Alba !! -Penningtons

Superior service

We’ve had a solar system on our apartment complex for a couple of years, and wanted to add more panels. We received quotes from a number of installers, including the company who installed the original system. Alba’s proposal was far and away the most professional we received. They clearly outlined the financial implications and benefits we could expect from our solar system, and gave us a range of options for our installation. They worked closely with us during the design phase and helped design the best system for our power needs. The system was installed by their great construction crew in less time than they had quoted. Most impressively, they were able to install a wifi system which links all the solar systems across our campus together (including those installed by the other company). This means we can analyze the power production from each of our systems at any time. I am happy to recommend them to anyone who asks about our solar system. They are a joy to work with.

Multi-Family Solar

We had Alba install a 105kW system on our apartment complex in DFW. Having worked with other solar companies in the past, we knew what to look for in their proposals and presentations. Given the size of the system, we wanted to make sure that Alba were capable of such a complex installation. The fact that they are a registered engineering firm was important to us in evaluating their abilities. Their installation team were fantastic, and extremely courteous to our property management staff. Again, knowing that their installers were all full time employees of the company was important to us (most other solar companies just subcontract this part out). Great company to deal with, and we’ll definitely be working with them again in future.

Impressive team, impressive work

I highly recommend Alba Energy to anyone looking for a professional solar installer. We had them bid on a highly complex carport solar solution we wanted to install. Not only was their bid the most competitive, their knowledge of the engineering and construction really shone through in the preliminary meetings with their design team. Alba designed, permitted and installed 3 carport structures for our tenants to park under, and installed the solar on top of the carports. The installations look great, and have really made a difference to our electric bills.
