Exceptional Service
Choosing to work with Baker Electric was the simplest decision my husband and I made. We interviewed with many companies prior to meeting with Baker and have to say none of the others where as Honest and Friendly as Baker. I loved getting the fully comprehensive Solar report at our 1st meeting with multiple options for us to make. I also must say we have had our system for Approx 5 months and the follow up of each employee at every step has been exceptional. Just because they finished our project they have not forgotten about us!!

Baker Solar Installation
We searched for a long time for a solar company to do our install. In my opinion they have the best product and best reputation in my area. Many of my neighbors had their systems installed by Baker. Overall the experience was great, quality people to do business with. The only issues I had were with keeping to the schedule and drilling holes in the roof for installation. Every time I would call to see what the next step was in the process and how long until it was complete, they would have to check on the paperwork and get back to me. It felt like I was pulling the installation through the process as a customer. I am more involved as a customer then most home owners. The other issue is that the installers had some difficulty drilling into my support beams instead of my vaulted ceiling. The repairs were minor and were taken care of promptly, but it happened in several locations. I have recommended Baker Electric several times and will continue to highly recommend them. Quality company with great products and people.
Response from Baker Electric Home Energy
Highly recommend you use Baker Electric for your solar needed, they are the best company that I found, with the best products. I checked them all and Baker was the best. I have referred them to several friends already.

We installed a 7.54, LG-290, 26 panel Solar System with Baker Electric Solar. Sinuhe Montoya was our Solar Energy Consultant. We had three other solar companies present their solar programs to us, but Baker Electric Solar was by far the best for us. Sinuhe answered all our questions, had several good options for us, was more informative, knew what we needed and insured we got all the service we needed. He checked on every phase of the installation. The service by the front office and installation crew was excellent. The crew up on time, had all the materials they needed, got their work done on schedule and cleaned up after themselves. They were also very patient with us and our neighbors who were also interested in seeing the solar system installed. Dennis Dougan, Service Manager, was very helpful in advising us on how to manage the system when we needed help. One neighbor already had a Baker Electric Solar system and after our installation four more neighbors have also gone with Baker Electric Solar. We have had many local independent contractors work on our home over the years and only a couple were as good overall as Baker Electric and it's employees. If you are interested in a solar system we suggest you consider meeting with Sinuhe Montoya. And, boy is it nice not to get an electric bill anymore!

Review for Baker Electric Solar
We looked in to three different solar companies; all of which were recommended to us. We chose Baker Electric Solar. The presentation was clear, pricing was equitable and we were given time to consider all of the options. The representative was friendly and professional.

Excellent sales process and install.
We looked at several Solar installers over the last couple of years. Many would hound us to select them. However, Baker was very professional and courteous throughout the sales cycle. We met with them, they provided a quote on both lease or purchase and then let us make the decision when we were ready. We selected Baker because they had the best design, price and they are well respected. The install was quick and easy. The total time from signing to power on was just over 2 months (you have to wait for all the approvals). The system is now running great and I am very pleased.

Baker Electric Solar Review
Baker Electric Solar did an outstanding job for me installing our solar equipment two years ago. It was designed to generate 110% of my average monthly kilowatt usage, and it does just that. The service provided after the installation has been superb as well. I would give them a 100% vote of confidence.

Happy with our PV system
We searched a long time for a residential PV installer and selected Baker Electric for many reasons. They were not the cheapest but they sold us with excellent sales support, longevity in the business and when it finally came to the installation, it was a piece of cake. The installation went well and it was professionally done. They cleaned up after the installation and left the property in great shape. We have had no issues with the system in the year it has been installed and it has outproduced the promised capacity. They are a wonderful company to deal with, fair and honest in our opinion.

Great Experience
We were very pleased with Baker Electric Solar from start to finish. The initial information, planning and quote took into account the issues that were of most concern to me; and I found it to be much more pleasant than meeting with other contractors. The rest of the process was handled professionally throughout with frequent communication of the status of each of the steps in the design, approval and installation. I was especially impressed with the organization of the work crew. They arrive at the site with a trailer that is already loaded with your panels, inverters and everything else needed for installation. I appreciated being well informed throughout the time all the way to activation; because there are periods when you have to wait for inspections and approvals, and nothing seems to be happening. This is a great company for solar.

Reasons why Baker Electric ROCKS Solar: Professional in every way; from the initial phone call, sales presentation, install crew, being kept up to speed at all times, to the final sign-off. No negative selling. They do exactly what they say they will do when they say they'll do it. They always cleaned up after themselves.

Best company to do business with
I highly recommend Baker Electric to install your Solar. My neighbor who is very meticulous and knowledgeable about Solar gave us the tip to use Baker. And he was right. From the first moment we used them, they have been the most professional business and every aspect of the install was on time and professional. I was always kept informed of the progress and the next steps. Even SDGE bragged about Baker when they came to inspect the Solar panel box. I always hear about other install's , but I doubt anyone's was as smooth as ours. Enjoying our solar and lower prices now! Thanks Baker Electric. You rock!

We Love Baker Electric Solar
Our experience with Baker Electric Solar has been great right from the start and continued through the installation. The Sales Rep was easy to understand and gave us our options for Solar. There was no pressure at any time. He was very helpful, giving us a few articles to read about Solar in general and about the SunPower panels Baker uses. The company has been excellent in keeping us informed of each step along the way. We've had our questions answered as they arose. We just completed the installation and it was a breeze. The lead person met with us to explain what we could expect each day and they finished exactly when they said they would. They were on time or early every day; cleaned up perfectly when they left. We love Baker Electric Solar and their tremendous staff.

So reliable
We've had our panels through Baker for almost a year now and we are completely happy and satisfied! I've recommended Baker to every friend, neighbor, and even strangers when I walk by another solar company booth (in front of Sams or Costco). Someone was silly enough to ask for everyone in the area to raise our hands if we have solar so I did so. What he didn't ask was 'with which company?' so I yelled out "through Baker Electric and they're awesome, friendly and oh-so affordable!". I got in a bit of trouble for that one but it was worth it. :)

Sales to Close Out - Excellent Management!
Baker has done a wonderful job of seamlessly linking their Sales through Close Out process. As a customer I am glad I chose Baker Electric Solar and would highly recommend them to anyone contemplating solar power installation. Not only are the SunPower panels they install the most efficient but their installation through close out was an enjoyable experience. Thank you to their entire team and management for it.

Baker Zaps Competition
We almost signed on the bottom line committing to purchasing a system from a major competitor. Then, fortunately, we noticed they had increased their verbally quoted price to over $6000.00 more in the written contract and didn't tell us. They gave us a very lame excuse about the salesman not understanding the cost difference between a leased system and a purchased system. Well, we gave them the boot, did more research, then contacted Baker. We've ended up with a better quality system and substantially less expensive than first quoted by the competitor(one whose rep first confronted us at Home Depot). Don't make the mistake we did by only talking to one company. We were lazy and overly excited about getting a system. Thanks to their greed and our dumb luck in discovering it we dodged the bullet. Subsequently we have now learned from reviews on the Internet that this competitor has hundreds of bad reviews for all kinds of shady practices. So, we highly recommend Baker being on your short list of companies to consider.

Baker Solar Experience
From start to finish Baker was spot on. There sales person, Eric, explained everything about the system, how it works, what I could expect in savings, costs and timing of project. They did all the paper work for plans and permits, I had to do nothing, "TO EASY". When It was time for install, they only took two days to complete. There crew was clean, they always keep me in the loop and should me what they were doing. This was a GREAT JOB. I could not ask for more. If you don't use BAKER you have made a mistake.

We did a lot of research and had bids from five companies before we selected Baker. Our salesman Jason was very knowledgeable and always available to answer questions. The crew did a great job on the install in a short time. Only been up and running for a month but all seems to be working great. Looking forward to seeing our yearly savings. Would recommend Baker to anyone.

I had heard Baker Electric Solar was the team to go with for solar installation, and the talk is true. They are very professional, walking us through every step of the process. The quality of craftsmanship is top of the line. When the county inspector came out for the final, he commented that he "never has any issues with Baker Electric Solar. They're inspections always pass, same day". I continue to tell everyone interested, about Baker Electric Solar.
