Northern Pacific Power Systems

Great company to work with

We looked at a couple of solar companies and heard about NPPS through a friend who really did her home work. So we went on her recommendation. We're glad we did! Cassius was very professional from the start and explained everything. The nice part was that they took care of everything. Once we signed the contract, that was it, we never had to worry about a thing. And we didn't have double payments as they don't start the loan payments until after PG&E stops charging for the electrical. We're very pleased with how it all went.

roof top solar

Here is my one year review of my home solar installation by Northern Pacific Power Company. Technician came out and surveyed my roof and I submitted a history of my electrical usage. This was used to develop a proposal based on my needs and my roof environment. This evaluation was done at no cost or commitment to me. Based on their recommendations, we installed Sunpower 7.56Kw system, which included micro invertor on each of the 21 panels ( Sunpower model SPR-X22-360-C-AC). These panels come with a 25 year warranty. Also included was upgrading my main electrical service panel to accommodate the solar circuit. The plans from Northern Pacific were through and when submitted to building department, made the permitting process go easy with no issues. The staff both on site and when I called with questions about my order were very helpful and answered all my questions quickly and completely. There was a total of 21 panels installed on my roof and since it was installed twelve months ago has worked flawlessly. There was a $9,000 tax credit on my federal return that made this purchase more affordable. (I am told this credit will no longer be available after 2019!!) The previous twelve months I spent $2,500 for electricity on my all electric home. Since being changed to a solar account with PGE, my only monthly costs has been minimum delivery charge that varied from $4.76 to $5.26 However since PGE posts a California Climate Credit of $27.70 every six months, I haven’t paid the monthly fee. But now I have my first annual bill with PGE or true up and I owe $389.60 for the electricity I have used from PGE for the whole year!! At this rate my solar system will have paid for itself in 11 years. However this is assuming PGE doesn’t raise its rates. If they do, the value of using solar will increase and my break even or pay off time will be reduced further. It is worth noting my power use increased after my solar system was installed. This is due to my installing a 220 volt spa, otherwise I probably would have broke even. It wasn’t until winter was almost over that I changed the temp settings to a lower default setting and only raised it before use. In conclusion, I am very pleased with my solar system and would urge anyone thinking about it, do it before the end of 2019. Northern Pacific Power was knowledgeable and professional from the technician doing site analysis to the plans department, phone support and especially the installation crew. The installation looks attractive and well done.

Great Installation and service for our Sun Power System

The Northern Pacific Power Team was excellent from start to finish. Cassius's explanation of the design options, power generation and installation process at our initial meeting was clear and easy to understand. The close-out, owner's manual and monitoring set-up that he did at the completion was also quite helpful. Branden and Maxx did a professional and careful installation on our older concrete flat tile roof. They did everything possible to not compromise the integrity of the roof including replacing tile as needed. Devon went the extra mile (literally) to obtain City's final inspection approval. Addagio and Shelby always kept us well informed of the schedule and helped us with solar credits and rebates. We are very pleased to give our wholehearted recommendation! Tony and Suzanne B

Excellent service

Excellent......need I say more. Price.....we got 3 proposals Sales.....Cassius came for the site visit and back for the training....real knowledgeable and the installation was done as agreed. Crew....personable, excellent work and cleaned up

Best Solar Company

Every member of the Northern Pacific Power Systems team is prompt, courteous, and expert at what they do. After researching most of the solar providers in the bay area, this installer came out on top — by a lot.

Amazing work- super professional!

This company is super professional and got the work done very quickly. They were never hard to reach and answered all of my questions right away. I was very impressed by all of their employees including the electricians who came out. They did not leave a mess and the installation was very neat and clean. I was very happy with every step of the process and I am glad I picked the company that had good reviews on yelp. I’m confident they will stand by their install and address any problems that might arise.

Top notch and professional

I checked out a few other solar companies online. Northern Pacific is local, and I was referred about them through Jake Munzz. He worked for Wright construction at the epic center. He told me Northern Pacific solar installed over a hundred panels at the epic center.When I called northern Pacific they told me they do yearly maintenance the first five years. They are very friendly and fast. Also there was no problems at all.

High quality installation

When it came time to install solar on my Santa Rosa home, I got quotes from 3 local companies and one national installer. Northern pacific power was not the cheapest option but offered three different panel options and came across as a solid local installer. The installers were able to complete the job in two days and were able to completely hide any conduit runs on the 3 separate roof sections my system covered. All conduit runs originated from the side of the house, were painted and run along the eves or trim, making them invisible unless you are looking for them. I also had NPP install a 14-50 outlet in my garage for an EV charger. Time from commitment to install was about 3 weeks (weather played a factor). One week to request PTO and then a few more days for PGE to grant PTO. The system is up and running and operating as expected. NPP was able to install consumption monitoring and enable panel level monitoring for my installation (Enphase). I would highly recommend NPP for your rooftop solar needs. I had some technical questions about the install details and monitoring equipment which NPP was able to handle prior to wrapping everything up.

Total confidence in refering this company to my Friends

I started the process of looking at Solar installation for my home through TESLA. I was even set up for installation. I had some concerns that they were unwilling to address. That's when I contacted Northern Pacific Power Systems. Graham Beverly came to my home the very next day and I was very impressed with the presentation and his knowledge. It was absolutely a pressure free presentation which I appreciated very much. I then spoke with my neighbor that works for the county renewable energy office. He told me that Northern Pacific was a top provider and gets the best reviews into his office. They are a local company with years of experience which increased my confidence. Everything went smooth, the installation was seamless and anyone would have a hard time finding any conduit on my home. The aesthetics of my home was very important to me and Graham assured me his guys would do a beautiful job and they did just that. Per my request they upgraded and replaced my old electrical box, the wood trim and painted everything to match my existing home color. These guys are top notch. I would recommend them to any of my close personal friends without a moment of reservation.

These people are the best

Working with Northern Pacific Power Systems and Graham Beverly was the best decision I I could have ever made. They are friendly, professional and were extremely helpful with the whole process. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

Solar Company That Over Delivers

I did 6 months of extensive research on Solar Companies and Solar Panel manufactures before I signed a contract. Sales Process was Excellent., ask for Graham. Quality of Advice was Excellent. On Schedule was Excellent. Price Charged as Quoted . They honored their quote. Quality of Products Used, Quality of Installation was Excellent. Professionalism and Courtesy was Excellent. After Sales Support was also excellent. A lot of companies make enticing offers that as just sales come ons. This company is the real deal.

solar installers

Everything was handled exactly the way it was explained to us. From the very start with the sales presentation to the final inspection it was all handled with great professionalism. We had one minor hiccup -- small crack in our ceiling that was repaired expertly and efficiently.

Solar electricity constractor

Very thorough and professional presentation. All data was available to make an informed decision. The solar panels and roof mounting materials used were the most efficient and highest quality. I interviewed 3 solar companies. Very highly recommended.

Solar Panel Instalation

They are a great team to work with. Very thorough from meeting Casius who walked us through the process, to Adaggio who kept us apprised of the project timeline, to the installers and finally Bill the electrician who eventually got the monitoring system working. One detail that caused a minor delay was the need for two sources of internet for the monitoring system to work and the assumption that we had it. It's a great idea to have back up internet for these systems but because of our rural location it's not necessarily as easy as those who live urban. Our internet provider was able to direct us to purchase a second router at Best Buy and once that was installed we were good to go. It's very cool to go online and see how much power we made in a day, week, month or year! And it's great that Northern Power will also be there monitoring our system to make sure it continues working optimally.

solar install

As a retired Building Official I would not use any other solar company. These guys a real professionals and use quality panels.

Look mo further for a solar contractor!

Northern Pacific Power Systems just completed the solar project on our Cotati condominium.....like yesterday. Could not be happier! The entire process was smooth, painless and incredibly quick. From our first encounter with Cassius to their job manager Addagio and then their great installers (cleanest most considerate crew I've ever seen) like Ramundo to their electrical expert William everyone was completely professional, prompt and efficient. Cassius gave us all the options up front as well as any available alternatives. Very knowledgable. Addagio took care of all permits and requirements with the city and fire department as well as managing PG&E's paperwork. Ramundo, Tony and the rest of the install crew took only 3 days to do a wonderfully clean install (see pics). We weren't even home for much of the work. Just today William, Northern's electrician, was out to set and verify all the connections and monitoring systems were no less than perfect. My wife and I were originally very concerned about having a large, unattractive converter box that most all systems require because our meter is by our front. No problem! Cassius showed us (literally) panels manufactured by Sunpower that have small converters on each indivudual panel, greatly reducing the amount of electrical components needed at one's meter. Can't say enough good things about these dedicated, smart young guys. Very impressive, VERY price competetive and great to work with. Could not recommend them more highly!

Homeowner

Northern Pacific Power Systems was highly recommended to me by a friend who purchased a solar system from them in the recent past. Everything I was told was true. These guys are very professional, very knowledgeable about all aspects of the solar business, including tax credits, and did everything they promised. Their price was very competitive, and the follow-up has been perfect.

Superior Quality & Service

They were the 5th Company I interviewed before making a decision on full home solar- 3 Primary Reasons I selected them- 1) Local. I can get a hold of a LIVE person anytime!! 2) Stand behind their product- Come to clean panels and inspect AFTER installation- 3) Cassius the salesman- College degree in residential construction- Ex-Contractor- UNDERSTANDS the business as well as the technology- Understands Building as well as the devices involved- They are not the CHEAPEST (Not far off)- If the system does not perform to the % of reduction promised.. They will come add more panels at COST ONLY- Can't beat this Company folks-So far has met or exceeded expectations-

We Highly Recommended This Company

We were very satisfied with the solar installation and personnel of Northern Pacific Power. Our salesman, Cassius, was personable and answered all of our questions. Adaggio, our main point of contact during construction, was responsive with prompt emails and information when needed. They made sure we agreed with the final solar panel layout and design before beginning. They seamlessly obtained permits and interfaced with the county and PG&E inspectors. The installers did careful and thoughtful work. This was important to us as my husband is a retired building inspector who is picky about details. The workers made a point of checking in with us before leaving each day to make sure to address anything we needed. Jake, the electrician, was very competent and did an impressive job of replacing our complicated, challenging, and outdated electrical box, which was an extra request of ours. Final inspections by the county and PG&E were easily passed without issues. Jake also matched exterior paint to camouflage conduit on the roof and siding. Cassius and Graham came to our home to wrap up with final information once the job was completed. We highly recommend this company as they did highly professional work and communication was outstanding.

Thrilled Solar Customer

After years of thinking about installing solar on my home I finally had it done at the end of this last Summer and could be happier. There are many different solar companies out in the market now but Northern Pacific Power stood out because of how they presented all my options. After they presented all the options it made the decision to finally go solar very easy for me and my family. They explained every step of the process, and a local company, had great warranties,and even helped with pre filling out PG&E forms. As a family of five my PG&E bills could sometimes top $400 per month in the hot Summer months with the AC running long hours. After one full month of running my first bill was only $3.85 and a far cry from the $400 wasted only a month before. I have the solar app on my phone so I'm able to see each and every day, week, month, and year how my solar system is performing and to say I was happy with my decision to go solar is an UNDERSTATEMENT! Thank you Northern Pacific Power for making my dream of going solar a reality. Justin McNulty Cloverdale,CA
