Aviara Solar Contractors

We highly recommend Aviara Solar. My husband and I had looked into solar in the past and decided that our bills weren’t high enough to justify going solar. But with the electric rate increases, the drop in solar panel prices, and the 30% Federal Tax Incentive, we should pay off our solar investment in 7 years and then enjoy free electricity after that. After we went to a solar presentation at the Center for Sustainable Energy (EnergyCenter.org), we decided that we needed a 3.24 kW system and wanted 9 LG 360 panels with the SolarEdge HD-Wave inverter. We had 3 bids and decided to go with Aviara Solar. They were the least expensive and have been in business since 2007. They were very competent and installed the 9 panels and inverter/controller in 1 day. Everything was clean and tidy during the install. After the install on a Saturday, the city inspector came and approved everything on the following Monday. On Wednesday SDG&E gave us permission to interconnect to the grid. We are enjoying watching our electric meter run backwards! It took about 6 weeks from signing the contract until installation but most of that time was waiting for the city permit.

Aviara solar was a wonderful company to work with. We were very excited about going solar but we had many questions about the process. Aviara solar very patiently and straight-forwardly answered our questions. Each step of the way, from designing the right system for us, permits to install and final sign-off, they were there for us as promised. They are clearly passionate about the solar revolution and they did their work with utmost respect for our space. They met and exceeded our expectations and gave us full confidence all the way through. And they helped explain the tax and related credits both before, during and after our work with them. These folks are real specialists in the San Diego market. They're the folks to go with!

My husband and I had decided to go solar on our home, mainly to do our part to help the environment but to also lower our electric bills. So we did our homework on the solar panels and solar installers. We read a ton of different reviews and studies on the companies that made the solar panels, then once we decided on what brand we wanted we found that Aviara Solar were the company that installed the specific brand and product that we wanted. Well what can we say about Aviara Solar....an absolutely marvelous company to work with! Jesse was our Energy Consultant and Cameron was our Project Manager and the two of them were total stars. We had two guys come to our home to look over our roof and electric box and then the guys who came to install our system, they were all fabulous. This whole process has been such a breeze, Aviara Solar did everything. The only thing we had to do was sign paperwork and even that was all done on the laptop. We have had our system now for several months and we couldn't be happier! Aviara Solar is just THE BEST, thank you guys!

I highly recommend Aviara Solar. I had a 11.5 KW System installed for the best price I could find, and I feel that I was helped very professionally from the first phone call and walk through at the site job, until the guys left a clean working place behind. All my questions were answered by the team and I even got a little education about how solar works and the benefits of having one, all the way to the ideal system size for us. The team leader was involved at all time and the process and installation went very smoothly. The System is working like a charm, and I’m saving a lot on my electric bill. Bye Bye SDG&E. Keep up the good work Aviara!

Aviara solar is a great company to work with. They are knowledgeable, honest, hard-working, committed, have integrity and communicate well. They had great references including among La Jolla homeowners in our area. Aviara Solar completed the system design and permitting process (including HOA approvals) faster than expected. I rate them 5 stars because they were extremely diligent about details, kept me fully informed as to what was happening, and got the system working when they said they would. Our system has now been operational close to 3 months during the shortest and coldest days of the year (Dec, Jan, Feb), and we've generated nearly all our electric usage during that time. I expect the solar panels will more than fully cover our usage once there is more daylight in spring & summer. I'm a very happy customer, and I recommend Aviara Solar without hesitation.

When we were researching whether to go solar or not, we looked into several different companies. Out of them all, Aviara Solar stood out the most due to their incredible competitive pricing and awesome staff! They're truly kind and honest people. Aviara Solar truly knows their stuff and are such a pleasure to work with!!! I love that they are honest and up front about everything and work hard to get you a stellar deal!!! We are LOVING our solar system. Jesse, Cameron, and Jackie are all simply amazing! Couldn't ask for a better staff to work with when making such a great and intelligent investment! You will not regret going Solar with Aviara Solar! Believe me, after tons of research, they are the very best choice!

Aviara Solar installed the system on our residence. It was a great experience. The proposal showed the design and estimated savings over a 20 year period. The savings we realized will pay for our son’s college tuition. When they arrived to install the system, the team was very professional and careful. They installed it on time and stayed with the project all the way through the inspections by the City inspectors. They installed a great monitoring system I can watch on my smart phone. Aviara took my phone calls and taught us how to use the monitoring. To sum it up the job was complete and professional. I would highly recommend them if you are considering solar

Most high praise to the people of Aviara Solar!!! You make excellence look easy. Had a REAL bad experience last go round with a contractor and their horde of subs. Had to manage that project myself, everyday. It was torture. So, we shopped, researched, interviewed, shopped, interviewed, researched, and prayed this time. In the end, we made the decision to go with the company and product we felt could provide the best system, service and guaranty on this long-term asset/investment - sweet, sweet SOLAR POWER. Aviara, you do not disappoint. Mind BLOWN - expectations SHATTERED. No subs. No scrubs. No BS. Best experience with a contractor – EVER. Anyway, Aviara - we left this morning for work, and you were completely done by sunset. Installing our entire system in one day. ONE DAY. What!? I know, you did. What!!?? Shhh. I know.. you did. You lived up to every review I read, and I read them all. Now, I will add to them. Thanks for energizing our home, and renewing my faith in humanity (especially construction contractors). Some companies still do GREAT work –AAAAAviara !

We had 35 solar panels installed by Aviara Solar. It went very well. They keep in contact, have a phenomenal, professional crew who take personal pride and care to do the job right the first time. They answered all my questions and well explained everything in detail and gave me a lot of great advice and guidance. They are very customer friendly and treat your home like their own. I'd recommend these people in a heartbeat. I could not be happier. I'm so glad we went with Aviara Solar. They are a full service company and I highly recommend them.

Aviara solar installed a solar system on my home. The entire process was handled very professionally from start to finish. They gave me the best proposal upfront and there were no surprises. They are very knowledgeable about the process and its operations and were very helpful throughout he whole process. Their crew was great to work with. The crew was hard working and very polite. They were a delight to work with explaining every detail. I have watched my electric meter spin backwards for a majority of days and even when my A/C is running. The best option if you looking for solar companies

Aviara is an all-around great company. From the very start of our journey learning about solar they were super helpful and provided honest guidance. Great customer service. Our consultant walked us through each part of the sale and installation process. Showed us our savings on a very user friendly and easy to understand proposal. He was professional and friendly even when I called a million times a day with new questions. They delivered on all the promises with no surprises. We love our solar panels, they look great on our roof and will highly recommend this company to our friends and relatives.

As soon as we decided to go solar, we asked around for recommendations and suggestions for a reputable and dependable solar installation company. We decided to go with Aviara Solar using my cousin's suggestion and we couldn't be more thrilled . We scheduled a meeting with Aviara Solar’s rep Jesse at our home to discuss the solar system and to show him our electrical usage history .We signed the contract at our first meeting and we are extremely satisfied. They had the best pricing with top notch panels and inverters. He explained to us how the solar system works, solar benefits, selection of modules and inverters, roofing attachments, rebate process, design, installation, inspection and timeline for each phase. He was really professional and answered all our questions and designed a system that would accommodate an electric car that we are shopping for. The installation was very smooth and professional. We didn’t have to put down any money out of pocket using the financing they provided. Our payments are lower than our electricity bills used to be. We no longer have to stress over rate hikes from SDG& E and are ready to buy our electric car that we can charge with our own solar system and get rid of our auto gas bill too. Thanks, Aviara Solar. We will in turn recommend you to all our friends

Aviara solar installed my solar panels in 2 days. They worked all day, into twilight, cleaned up after they were done, were pleasant, and even did some extra painting of conduits that they did not install. I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of solar systems. They even apologized for the noise when working on the roof which was totally unavoidable. Our house was a difficult one since it has several levels above the street and does not have good level footing for ladders. They improvised for safety and placed the inverters out of our view which meant more work for them. They got the city permits and the city inspector came out the day after they were done. Their pricing was also the best we could find. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants solar power.

I'm very happy with my new solar system! I recommend Aviara Solar to everyone. They are very professional, knowledgeable about solar and were able to answer all my questions before we signed up. They installed my system in two days and paid attention to every detail. They even helped me get financing at a very low rate. They also had great pricing compared to the other companies I interviewed. Happy to say that my payments are much less than my electric bills used to be. Would highly recommend them!

I first got the idea to install a solar system when I looked at mint.com and saw the thousands I've paid SDG&E over the past few years! Why would I want to keep paying them when I could OWN the equipment myself? The prices for solar panels have been dropping and there is a 30% federal tax rebate. Now was the time for solar. In order to get the net metering agreement with SDG&E you need a licensed contractor. Who should I pick? After reading a Union Tribune article that referenced Aviara Solar I wrote them an email. After meeting with Jesse Kruszynski, I knew the project would be in good hands. His team is excellent. The installation team was excellent and extremely professional. The bidirectional meter was installed quickly after installation (this is done by SDG&E) but the paperwork was obviously submitted in a timely fashion by Aviara Solar). Now I produce solar power during the day and SDG&E credits me for the excess production. At night those credits are applied. It's good for the environment and good for your wallet. Honestly, working with Aviara Solar has been a great experience. I highly recommend them!

Aviara Solar was referred to me by a close friend. I am very happy with the quality of work and the way they communicated with me throughout the project from my first consultation to the very end of installation. My solar panels and the equipment they installed look great on my roof. They painted all the exposed conduit to match the paint on my house and even hid the conduit on my roof. The project was managed quickly and professionally. I would gladly refer Aviara Solar to friends or family! These guys do quality work and took notice and care to any concern I had during the process. Thank you Aviara Solar!

I had been wanting to put a solar system on my house for more than 10 years and I talked to more than a few installers and contractors about the project, but no one impressed me enough to pull the trigger until I came across Aviara Solar this last spring. Right off the bat Aviara impressed me with their professional and personal approach, their knowledge of the systems and their willingness to work we me on a couple of special requests I had. Jesse is the technical consultant and did all the upfront planning. He looked at our SDGB&E bills, determined how large of a system we would need and then measured the roof, did shadow studies (the neighbors had large trees) and designed a system that has offset my electric bill 100% (a little more in the sunny months). My house is in an historic neighborhood and I wanted to make sure that the panels would not be visible from the street and they were able to accommodate that beautifully. I am paying for the system using the California Hero program which enables you to make payment through your property taxes and provides a very substantial tax credit as well. Kamran (the owner of the company) was knowledgeable here and was able to set everything up for me and walk me through what was a very easy process because of his familiarity. (And, by the way I am saving substantially more per month than my payments cost.) I can’t say enough about how smoothly the project went. I even had some roof work done prior to installation and some old windows replaced with dual pane energy efficient ones… Aviara was able to orchestrate all the work, all the permitting, all the inspections and roll it all into the single Hero Financing program. The installation team was every bit as efficient as Jesse and Kamran and did a beautifully clean and professional job. I don’t write too many reviews and don’t give out high praise lightly. If you’re seriously contemplating a solar system for you house or business, you owe to yourself to talk with Aviara. I give them 5 STARS all around and can’t imagine anyone being anything other than 110% satisfied with choosing them.

I was referred to Aviara Solar by a very trusted friend. Had I known about Aviara Solar years before, I would have gone solar much sooner. What I was looking for was to have a top notch system on my roof with low monthly payments. But unfortunately other companies would advise me that what I wanted was financially out of my reach and beyond my budget. As I was insisting on getting the kind of panels that I wanted with all the bells and whistles the proposals were coming in too high and by the time I would try again a few months would have gone by and I would have to get started all over again having wasted a lot of time. Aviara Solar solved my dilemma. They were able to give me top notch panels with micro inverters for a greatly discounted price. They were very knowledgeable with the different aspects of going solar and gave me some good advice pointing out very important points that other companies either did not know about or did not want to bring up. I am very happy with my solar system and am very thankful to Aviara Solar for doing such a great job. I will brag about Aviara Solar any chance I get.

This company is a joy to work with. Everything went smooth and amazingly fast! Everyone has been beyond courteous and helpful. Installation went super quick and the only real hold up was the utility company inspection and final write off. Thank you Aviara Solar. System has been running for a week and have already produced almost as much energy as the whole month last year. Am looking forward to the first bill and see how we do. Thank you Aviara Solar. I will recommend you to all of our friends.
