AMECO Solar & Roofing

Ameco has a great team and we are very happy with the service and expertise they provided. Stan did an excellent job managing the entire project and keeping everything on track. James was fantastic during the planning process, took time to explain everything, make sure we understood our options and were getting the best system to fit our needs. The whole team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Great company! My advisor was so helpful and stayed in touch the entire time. A few small hiccups but overall a great experience. I have a new Tesla battery and solar for my home. It took total of 3 months from beginning to end.

Great Company Ameco Solar and Roofing

The team at Ameco Solar and Roofing deserves 5 stars. I wanted to share feedback on my recent solar installation. After the permits were approved, the project itself went very smoothly and was completed in a timely manner. I was impressed with several members of your team: *Jason Anderson* was my original salesperson and he was outstanding. Jason gave me hours of his time and patiently answered what felt like a hundred questions before I committed to the project, and even after. He also helped me procure the 30% federal tax credit for the solar products. That guidance alone was invaluable. *Carol in Customer Service* also went above and beyond. She spent a lot of time helping me understand the Powerwall and how the app works. Her explanations were clear and she made sure I was comfortable with the system before signing off. *Ivan, the Project Manager*, kept everything organized and on schedule. I appreciated his communication and oversight. *Christian*, who was part of the inspection team, was thorough, professional, and courteous. The actual installers did a great job with the technical work and were respectful while here. I do want to mention one area for improvement: when the crew left, both of my gates were left wide open and there was some trash/debris from the installation in the yard. A final walkthrough to secure the property and haul away materials would make a big difference. Overall I’m very pleased with Ameco and grateful for the team’s expertise. Please pass my thanks to Jason, Carol, Ivan, and Christian specifically. Sincerely, Stephenie & Penny Hargrove Hidden Valley Lake, CA

Ameco solar provided an incredible sales consultation, and was able to give me the most affordable quote for the solar system I've purchased. They are the only solar installer I know with the Price Match Guarantee, and they've honored it even after I've signed the contract. My project has been fully completed last year, on time and with high quality workmanship. Support team is excellent and very helpful.

Great solar installer!

Ameco Solar was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the process was clear and consistent, keeping us informed every step of the way. They stayed on top of everything, ensuring our solar panels were installed and running smoothly without any delays or issues. Highly recommend their team for anyone considering solar installation!

A fine new roof

Max Sigua has been my very capable and attentive project lead. The price for the project is fair. The end results are a professionally done roof. Max chose capable roofers and a capable solar panel installer to complete my project. I already have solar. So in this project it was remove the panels then replace the roof and the. Reinstall the solar. It’s a beautiful roof now! It’s also a very cool (temp) roof. I expect big things of this energy saving roof! Attached are pics of the roof. I highly recommend AMECO. Max Sigua communicates with me all the way through the project.

We had a new solar panel system installed on our house and we were lucky enough to get it under the NEM 2.0 program thanks to Ameco's help. I started applying a little before the deadline and they were very quick in approving and getting the application started with PG&E. The whole project was painless from start to finish with the exception of how long it took for us to turn on the entire system, but that was not due to Ameco's fault or failure. The delay was all on PG&E. During the process, Jaqueline F. was great at keeping us updated on the progress of the system. She responded to my questions in a prompt manner during the entire process. Once our system was installed, Ophir B spent a considerable amount of time going over the Enphase application that we use to track our system's production and the emergency shutoff procedures as well as answering all the questions that I had, which were many. Ophir was not only professional but friendly and courteous as well. I am very happy with the system and the service that we received from everyone at Ameco!

Project savior

This company salvaged our solar project. We started out with another company that was matched to us by Electrum(SCE marketplace) but was forced to cancel that contract because of lack of progress. The silver lining to our situation is being connected to Ameco who immediately picked up our project. We have zero complaints w Ameco. We couldnt have asked for a better project manager than Evelyn Ramon. She was on top of everything and communication with her was awesome. It took a few more months before we got our application approved, but after that installation was smooth sailing. The installation team Daniel and Morgan got everything lined up. The installation crew led by Levon was very professional, working late hours to finish the project. Unsurprisingly, we passed inspection without a glitch and now our solar is up and running. Thank you so much Ameco!

I recently had a wonderful experience with Ameco Solar and am so happy I chose them for my solar project. The entire process was great from beginning to end. First, their salesman, Tash, gave us a very detailed and transparent quote, which made us comfortable working with them from the start. Their price is quite reasonable. The communication with Tash and Emili was easy, and they were always very responsive to my questions over email, phone, and Team Meetings. Second, the installation team was clearly very experienced and worked efficiently to get the job done. The entire project with Ameco Solar was very smooth, with each step following the other without any delays.

Have a amazing experience with this company! Customer service was top-notch, product exceeded my expectations.I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality solar panels and excellent service. I couldn't be more happier with the results and how hard they work. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

Great company

Highly recommended. Easy to work with super professional and competitive price.

Great company to work with

AMECO delivers on what they promised. Very satisfied from initial planning, design, installation and start up. They took care of all inspection issues, and tie in to SCE. Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend them yo others.

Since covid I have been wanting to get solar panels for my house. Getting recommended by my friend, I chose Ameco Solar, and I could not be any happier. The customer service was phenomenal, along with the installation process. Since it was my first time, I was unsure of many things, but they explained to me the different system sizes and made sure I knew what i was purchasing. I would recommended choosing Ameco for their excellent communication and how they run the business.

Great Experience

I found out about AMECO through online research. I decided to go with them. Everyone I worked with was as thorough as they come and extremely knowledgeable. I had two crews for installation. The first crew reroofed a portion of my existing roof. From the get-go I would receive daily updates from the project manager. He always called to keep me posted about the progress after the crew left for the day. I am very knowledgeable about home construction and when they were finished with the installation I would never have known that they were there at all. They were very clean and I am very happy with the work that they did. The crew that installed my solar panels was also very professional. I asked them lots of questions and they patiently answered everything and took time to explain how everything works. I 100% recommend AMECO

They did an amazing job on my solar panels, the process was faster than I expected and I love my solar panels!! They were nice and very helpful and made the process super smooth.

Ameco installed our 8kw system earlier this year. Great communication and they installed the system in a day. They used a sub contractor for the actua install, but all went well.

Ameco Solar

I was connected with AMECO through the SoCal Edison Marketplace partner Electrum. The project manager, Angie, kept me informed with regular updates from start to finish. The installation did a great job and answered all my questions about the installation, they also did a great of clean-up afterwards, which was much appreciated, Very happy with results and would recommend them to anyone considering a solar installation.

Smooth and on-time project!

I was connected with AMECO through the SoCal Edison Marketplace partner Electrum. Everyone I worked with at AMECO was reliable and friendly. The project manager, Angie, kept me informed with regular updates as my project worked its way through planning, city permitting, installation, and utility approval. We are very happy with results and would recommend them to anyone considering a solar installation.

Ameco Solar - I would recommend!

After interviewing six solar companies, we purchased our solar system (not a lease) from Ameco. From our initial sales call with Thomas, to the prompt & polite follow up emails with answers to our many questions, to the installers, and to the final emails, instructions and calls with Angie, everything went very well. Ameco matched the price of a competitor we were considering, and moved as quickly as they could to get everything handled. It can feel like a slow process as you wait for permits, inspections, and Edison to turn it on - but our system was complete within the estimated time frame. We've only been connected to Edison for about 2 weeks, but so far so good! I would recommend this company for Solar.

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

The solar panel is incredibly simple to schedule and install. I purchased a wonderful solar panel for an affordable rate. The installation process was quick and simple. The staff service was outstanding. They walked me through the pricing thoroughly.

It was a great experience working with them. 10/10

They gave amazing service and the employees were very helpful. When I had questions, I received very quick responses and was never left waiting. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for solar and roofing!

Wonderful, thorough, and competent solar company!

Our solar adventure started with a couple of mishaps and when I figured out that DWP had a solar marketplace I went through them to find Ameco Solar. This team is wonderful! Angelica was our project manager and was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. They moved through the permit process quickly and with ease. I was told to expect the permitting to take 5 weeks to a few months and they were ready to move into installation three weeks after the initial permits were submitted! Angelica took care of everything for us. From the permitting to the scheduling to requesting the permission to operate from DWP. We just sat back and watched them work! I can't recommend Ameco highly enough. 5/5 would recommend them to anyone looking to add solar to their home. The other companies we had looked at before going onto the marketplace were shady and trying to get the tax benefits for the equipment. Angelica and the rest of the Ameco team just wanted to provide us with a high quality, working solar system. I'm so happy we ended up choosing them from the bids we received.

A+ Service!

The ameco team was professional every step of the way. They're definitely not the cheapest and certainly not the most expensive Solar company out there. However, one thing is you won't find any other company with more years of experience than ameco and it shows in their work and their customer service. Thomas, Angie, Yazmina, Ovsanna, and the installation team did a wonderful job.

Thank you, Ameco!!!

We have recently completed our home solar project, including roof work and solar panel installation. We applaud and appreciate the assistance we received throughout the project from our Ameco support team. We remain especially grateful to Evelyn Ramon and Yazmina Hooks, our project managers, for clear explanations, for patience and responsiveness to our multitude of questions and special requests, and for easing us successfully through the surprises of any such major project. They were endlessly cheerful, encouraging, informative, and responsive. We loved having their expert guidance! We also thank Tom Amitay, Ameco’s Founder and CEO, for his personal attention and support through our project. Tom is truly dedicated to his Ameco mission. We heartily recommend Ameco for its solar project services. Ameco provides the expertise, guidance, and individualization we sought for our project, and we, thanks to Ameco, now enjoy our negative electrical bills! Clint and Louise Taylor Happy Ameco customers

Great experience

Ameco took us through every step of the solar installation process from beginning to end. The project was on time and everyone involved was helpful and professional. The cost was better than expected. Thanks to our project manager Yasmina and everyone else involved.

AMECO Solar and Roofing Project Evaluation in Ojai, CA

My experience with AMECO Solar began January 28, 2022. Happy to say that we are now generating electricity effective, May 10, 2022 - 102 days in total. The needs for our 60 year-old home included repairing and replacing the roof as well as installing a solar array with enough capacity to cover our power needs for the next 20-30 years. We had just secured a Reverse Mortgage, having decided we are living in our "forever home". Our goal included locking in the lowest fixed costs that match our projected fixed income over the long-range planning horizon. The combined solar and roofing solution provided by AMECO satisfied this goal perfectly. I began speaking with AMECO as I neared the end of my initial data collection phase. (See detailed explanation of my overall experience further below). I initially worked with a gentleman named Tash, who guided me through the initial project engagement phase, answering all my questions in a timely and professional manner. The AMECO process was very straightforward and easy -aided by Tash’s support. He was able to answer all my questions regarding the roofing project as well as the solar array. If he didn’t know something real-time, he followed up very quickly. The initial engagement phase included scoping out the details of what would be included in each project contract (one for roof and one for the solar array) as well as the financing agreement. Once the contracts were signed and the loan arranged, I was handed over to the Project Coordination Team at AMECO. They guided me through the construction and inspection phases for both the roofing project and the solar project. I thought that Yazmina was really effective in this role for AMECO. She was very proactive in her communications and responded very quickly to every question/concern I raised along the way. She communicated via email, phone and text in a very pleasant, professional manner throughout. She helped to make the process problem-free and moved quickly to conclusion. I think the key to Yazmina’s role was that she was proactive in anticipating the next step and prepared me very well for key decisions and inspections along the way. As a point of background, I had located AMECO through a fairly extensive research process including: 1. Collecting information, insights and recommendations from my son and son-in-law who had each just completed solar-only projects in Camarillo, CA and San Diego, CA respectively. 2. Using their insights, I identified a couple of prospective candidate companies from the internet and conducted a couple of "fact-finding" zoom calls to collect information. (AMECO was not one of these initial companies). Here is what I learned from that initial research: 1) Our projected electricity costs could be 100% covered by a solar array on our roof. We had enough roof square footage to hold the required number of solar panels needed. 2) Our existing roof would need to be replaced. Because of its age, solar could not be installed before bringing the roof up to code and new shingles installed. 3) A solar battery/storage option is available if we chose to install along with our solar array. (We chose to wait before adding to our system). 4) Government-backed financing is available to cover all of the solar panel installation along with some of the roofing costs: • Our rate ended up being 1.45% • No money down up front • Payments don’t start until the system is up and running • Extended pay-off period. Our loan payments will last 40 years or at time of sale of our property. This timeframe works well for us as we do not intend to move. We are both retired and have no family or work ties that will pull us away from our home. • No prepayment penalties • AMECO did all the heavy lifting – they provided the finance company options along with the financial terms options. All we had to do was select the options we wanted and sign the e-documents sent to us. Truly hassle free. 5) The internet is an amazing tool and should be leveraged by prospective solar and roofing buyers!  Solar and Roofing providers can do their initial estimates/assessments by using publicly available satellite maps. They can turn around estimates in a few hours and in some cases provide real time feedback on your property while speaking with them.  Using your favorite browser, you can sign-up with “Finder Sites” that broadcast your request for quotes out to candidate Solar providers who contact you - versus you having to contact multiple companies on your own. This is a HUGE TIMESAVER – recommend using these sites!  Solar and roofing projects involve unique technologies with terminology not commonly understood by most of us. I personally follow the rule of “Trust, but verify.” I want to believe what each professional I speak with has to say, but I also want to have a solid reference point to ensure I both understand what is being said and to also verify that it based in fact. I used these sites to help accomplish this goal for me. • My “Finder Site” experience yielded 10 companies who each provided comprehensive bids that were easily comparable. • I used these bids to build a spreadsheet to help select the best providers. Some of the relevant criteria I was able to glean from this analysis included: o The type of panels and inverters each company uses. Some companies use only one brand of panel while others, such as AMECO, offer multiple manufacturer options. There are different variables such as “25 year degradation curves” that are worth comparing between manufacturers. o What size system each company would recommend, using my SCE (Southern California Edison) billing history. Recommendations for us ranged from 6200 KW to 8800 KW. We ended up going with a 7200 KW system installed by AMECO. o Cost data that I used to compare all bids. AMECO’s proposal was amongst the top 3 companies when comparing solar quotes. o In addition to costs, it is important to consider other “soft” factors such as:  Customer Service and support capabilities – AMECO scored high on this front.  Warranties offered on the equipment as well as the installation. Again, AMECO ranked amongst the highest firms in these areas. For example, if we get a leak in our roof where the solar panels are installed 20 years from now, AMECO will stand behind the products and the workmanship involved.  And because we are talking about a 20-40 year time horizon, it is important to select partners that will be around awhile. AMECO has been around for nearly 50 years and I am confident they will succeed over many recent start-ups who do not offer the full package of services they do. In summary, I highly recommend AMECO as your Solar and Roofing project partner. You will be very pleased with the results. I will feedback later as needed on satisfaction with the system and the support from AMECO in future posts. Al from Ojai May 11, 2022
