Ocotillo Solar Electric

Fantastic Experience - Outstanding Company

I can't recommend this company enough. Solar is a huge financial commitment, and Ocotillo Solar met and exceeded all of the expectations we had for our home install. We initially took 3 quotes from the highest ranked companies in town, and it was Dominic's technical knowledge and competitive pricing (not the cheapest) that won us over. It's not easy working around a 2-story metal roof discreetly wiring up all of these panels from one end to the other while making it aesthetically pleasing, but they did just that. They even triple checked that I was happy with everything, made any necessary cosmetic touch ups, and showed sincere care for my concerns. The install was a 12KWH system that utilized REC400A panels, and SolarEdge power optimizers and inverter. I chose a single inverter over microinverters (enphase) because of the DC to DC efficiency, and if the inverter fails, it's easy to access and replace in the garage, rather than on the roof under panels. A 30 year warranty on all of the equipment was also a huge plus. Most importantly: Dominic and his team really nailed the whole process with their clear communication and being able to effectively coordinate all of the state, county, and PNM obstacles. The install is one thing, but the entire process can be a chore, and Ocotillo Solar made it easy and stress free.

Best in Greater Albuquerque

Dominic of Ocotillo Solar sets himself apart from the rest of the pack because he has expert knowledge (many I interviewed (including the big name outfits) new less about solar than I did) ; has technical installation experience (since Dominic will be doing the work); is personable (since I knew we would be working together closely as a Team); and lastly Dominic is Super-Customer-Driven.....he totally will customize your installation to fit your needs for high quality workmanship, that is pleasing to the eye, at a value that will meet your budget. Bottom Line: Dominic gets it! My recommendation is go ahead and interview others all you want....but interview Dominic last....and you will realize all of the above...for sure. Brian.

Ocotillo delivers. System is performing as expected, which is good. They inspect system yearly Cost was very reasonable and high quality components used. Quote was presented without pressure to act. Give the company a chance to give you a quote.

Outstanding company!

I can't recommend Dominic and his team enough. Great service, top of the line products with good prices. My system is amazing and the perfect size.

SUPERB SERVICE, OUTSTANDING BUSINESS PRACTICE, PRICED RIGHT

After extensive consideration of the (now several) well-respected PV companies, we chose Ocotillo based on neighbor/friend recommendation and could not be happier. They get our highest recommendation. We have had many construction/remodeling/electrician etc projects at our home, and we have never worked with a more well-informed, ethical, transparent, meticulous, and quality-conscious company. They maintain true "ownership" of the project from start-to-finish, including all aspects of permissions, paperwork, on-site meetings with inspectors, etc. Unlike all other companies, you don't meet with a sales rep. You meet with the installer himself, who has tons of experience and can answer any technical question. Their contract is better than most (for example, no forced arbitration clause). They truly go the "extra mile" in everything, including little touches like painting the conduits to blend in with home, if needed. All parts and labor have 25 year warranty. Telecommunication monitoring (uses T-mobile) is paid for the first 12 years. The company is relatively small, which means they don't have to pay the salaries of extraneous folks (sales, marketing, etc) or layers of management. So, in addition to having incredible service (truly better than anything you can expect from the construction industry of NM), they also beat every other company in terms of price-per-watt. Working with a small company that largely depends on the "boss's" personality always carries some risk, of course. But this is completely overshadowed by a painless experience, highest level of service possible, extreme technical competence, honest and transparent representations, contractual terms that are fair, and all at the lowest price-per-watt. Truly, the best contractor experience we've had as NM homeowners for 38 years.

ocotillo solar experience

I was pleased with the quality of work, timeliness, professionalism, courtesy and cleanliness of the complete project. There was remarkable attention to all details. He explained all steps of the process with approximate projected timelines. He was awesome! It's so nice to see the meter go backwards.

Great Experience

Ocotillo installed our solar electric system last month, and we are very pleased with the process and the system. They use high quality components and extend the warrantees. From the initial quote to system installation, Dominic walked us through the process. It has been 3 weeks since the system was installed, and we couldn't be happier.
