Great people to do business with

I received my permission to operate from PG&E on 3/15/23. Since that time, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much power is generated. I have a modest 10 panel, 3.65 kWh system. In four and a half months, I have accumulated more than 1100 credits with PG&E. I recently replaced my propane heating system with an all electric heat pump. I am sure all these credits are going to keep me warm this winter at no additional cost. Special tip of the hat to Brian and Nicole for walking me through the process and keeping me informed. Also, to the installation crew and the engineer, who skillfully attached the panels to my existing Tesla Powerwall battery. The whole process went smooth and quick. Best wishes to Capital City Solar, and I hope NEM 3.0 is not hurting them too much. .

Solar Purchase and Installation

We were referred to Capital City Solar by a friend who had a very good experience with them. Our salesman Andy was excellent. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Installation was quick and went great. Everything was cleaned up after job was complete. Their installation crew was great. We have an online site to see what our panels are doing on a daily basis. Love it.

Great experience.

Installed SunPower 2 1/2 years ago. Could not be happier with the crews at Capitol City... friendly, professional.. always answered my questions.. always there to resolve whatever issues I had. Even on subsequent maintenance work (minitor unit died), crew showed when they said they would and took the time to explain everything they were doing and the changes being made.. just were great to work with. Highly recommend Capital City Solar and SunPower.

Alfie | 12/06/2017

fantastic

i love my solar. even in the most overcast and rainy days i manage to generate solar and that is fantastic. I am cool in the summer and that is what makes my life complete. I got several bids when I was going to have solar installed. I ultimately used capital city solar and it was a great decision. everything went smoothly and all i did was sit back and wait for the final inspection by the city of Lincoln. they handled all the paperwork and gave me a completed binder to refer to at the end. careful installation and efficient panels.

Capital City Solar - The Best

Capital City Solar installed our system in June of 2010. Not only has the system been problem free, it has provided us with consistent savings. The savings we enjoy have exceeded the total cost of the system. Every month we're in the "Black" on cost. Even though we are long ago customers, the staff at Capital City Solar always respond immediately to any questions that we have had. We highly recommend this company and product.

Capital City Solar is the best

Capital City makes it easy for you to understand How solar works. They do not high pressure you like many of the other company’s we had give us bids. There product is the highest quality and the installers are very polite and neat and leave no mess when they are done. The office staff is always ready to assist in anyway they can. Our sales representative Andy was knowable and alway there to explain any questions we might have. Once the sale was done he was not one of those that you never see again. Andy is a great guy and he really cares about his customers. I my opinion you would be hard pressed to find a better company.

Capital City Solar made the transition to Solar very easy. They even saw a problem on my system before I could even call. They fixed the problem and I like the piece of mind knowing that even though their done they still are taking care of me. Thanks Capital City for making me feel like I made the right choice in using you to install my system.

The work done was greqt. I was kept informed of the progress and of any problems that came up. They were having trouble with the city and a flood plane issue and asked me to call the city to clear it up. I did and the work continued on time. A job well done.

Paul Richardson | 01/02/2013

Capital City Solar (formerly Solar-E-City) did a fantastic job for us. I wanted a Sun Power system in the event something went wrong and they provided the best price for a local company. They showed up on time, did a great job and routinely follow-up on my system through phone calls and e-mails. The Sun Power iPhone App is great too. I would hire this company again.

The sales representative for SOLAReCITY ELECTRIC, soon to be Capitol City Solar did a great job in every detail. Their office staff was ever ready to answer any & all questions. The excellent service still continues. I highly recommend this organization.

I have been very pleased with all my contacts with Solar E City Electric.

Suzanne Awalt | 11/13/2010

I am very happy that I chose Solarecity Electric to install my solar energy system. All representatives were very knowledgeable and personable. They dedicated needed resources to my job and completed the work neatly and in a timely manner.

Owen Kittredge | 11/13/2010

Solarecity is a very well run solar company, I had other companies come by and I felt like they were selling used cars. Solarecity’s staff is polite, knowledgeable basically good people.

Charles Center | 11/12/2010

The professionals at SolarEcity went over and above to make sure we were satisfied with the installation.

George Parrott | 11/12/2010

I got more than 10 solar PV contractors to consider my proposed system design, but only 3 of those were willing to actually bid on my installation. SolarEcity was not the cheapest bid, but they proposed the largest and most efficient system with all of my design demands included.

not very helpful on obtaining financing for the system- they do not have partners assisting in financing for system cost

Pat Paul | 08/16/2008

Government/utitily incentives were important to us. They really helped bring our system down to a level we could handle. I have shared our numbers with others and their reaction is the same--incentives are important to affordabilty.

Charles Medlin | 07/26/2008

James Ward | 07/16/2008

They did a fine job and everyone was very pleasant and professional

Steve Brown | 06/26/2008

Job was actually completed and operational in considerably less time than originally projected.

Rafael Neiman | 07/25/2007

Great job, start to finish. Output is as promised. This may not be the case with other companies, as not all of them explain the output conversion from DC to AC.

David Gilchrist | 06/22/2007

Work was performed by Solarecity Electric. The entire operation from sales to installation was handled in a very professional, efficient, and thorough manner. The SunPower units are performing as predicted. We would recommend them and Solarecity Electric highly and have done so.

Paul Sznaider | 06/13/2007

Of all the contractors we have worked with from the start of our house construction (20040 up until now, Solarecity has been by far the best. Their honesty, friendliness and work ethic have been a breath of fresh air. The skyrocketing PG&E electric costs over the past 3 years were the main factors in purchasing this system.

Robert & Bobbe Christopherson | 06/05/2007

Excellent company installing an excellent SOLARPOWER SPR-205 system. Our response to global climate change science consensus.

Andrea | 05/10/2007

We were so happy with this company and they are truly dedicated to doing an excellent job and the best customer service. Also they truly care about our needs after the hob is done. THANKS

Solarcity was punctual, informative, provided us with many options and was extremely professional from beginning to end. We recommend them to all of our friends & family. It was a pleasure to work with them and if we ever move we will definitely use them again in the future.

Everyone at Solarecity was very professional. All of my questions were answered promptly before, during, and after the install. I have already recommended them to several neighbors without hesitation! Outstanding company. I don`t know why solar panels are not required on any new home or business being built.

Pat Shields-Maher | 02/24/2007

From the beginning we felt that the sales & installation personnel really tried to get to know who we were and our way of life and were very professional & pleasant to work with. In other words we were not just a `job` to them. Even when something went wrong such as a bad part - it was replaced in a reasonable time with no hassle. The company treated us with respect when we would share an observation and took our concerns seriously. The installation crew were polite - no cussing or loud music as is present on so many job sites and they went to great lengths to clean up the job site when they were done with the installation which was a week ahead of schedule. This company has made our movement into solar energy a most gratifying experience and we know that they will be there if difficulties develop in the future. we have a ground mount system, please call if you would like to see it. Pat 530-677-8422 Although we had considered it for some time,it was the movie documentary `An Inconvenient Truth` that finally tipped the scales for us to actively pursue a solar system for our home.
