Oregon Solarworks

Kirpal (owner of Oregon Solar Works) understands the systems he installs better than certain other companies that bid on my project. He asked questions to determine what my goals were as well what he thought I needed. We discussed the pros and cons of various set-ups and came to a system tailored to my wants, needs and new understandings. At no time did I feel pressured to go with a a stock system or hurry to lock in a "deal too good to miss". During the install Kirpal and his crew were great. All of them pay attention to details and keep the site clean. They took the time to answer any concerns I had or explain a detail that I was unfamiliar with. After the install and "commissioning" of the system, and after all monies had been paid, Kirpal was, and is, still quick to answer the phone or a text message if I see something unusual. My past jobs in high tech R&D required technical knowledge and attention to detail. I can be persistent at making sure those I work with deliver what is promised. I found Kirpal and his crew to be very professional, deliver on promises and a pleasure to work with.

Since I have a solar thermal unit in the roof, I needed a pole-mounted system, which in turn necessitated engineering and city approval. My system has been up since 2005. It worked exactly as he said it would. It is adjustable, safe, durable, and reliable. Best of all, he still periodically answers my questions when I ask about expanding my existing system. I don’t hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. He also installed a 3.3 kW roof-mounted system on my parent’s house.

We needed a full solar installation at the end of 2019 and we were on a schedule - due to our personal financial situation: we were hoping to use the generous solar tax credit on our income taxes, but couldn't do it unless a complete installation was up and running before the end of 2019. We live in Talent, a small town halfway between Medford and Ashland in southern Oregon, and in the fall of 2019, we talked with and interviewed all the 'usual suspects' - three or four generally excellent solar contractors in the area. All of whom seemed friendly and knowledgeable - but all of whom were over-committed and over-booked and literally unavailable for new projects before 2020. Then we met and interview Kirpal Khalsa and his small company, Oregon Solarworks. Kirpal was thoughtful, incredibly knowledge, open and literally trust-inspiring. Although his company is based in Grants Pass, in the neighboring county, he works frequently and does installations in Jackson County, where we are located. Even better, we were lucky that his schedule was opening up - and he would be able to fit our job in with enough time to complete the installation, to get all the required permits and approvals, AND to have us up and running before the end of 2019. All in all, it was a large project - and not an inexpensive one, either. Kirpaul's pricing and quotes were right at the same level as those of all the other experienced and professional solar contractors in our area. But when you are about to invest a chunk of your savings into a project, it's helpful to have confidence in the ability of the contractor to whom you are entrusting the job - and Kirpaul not only inspires (and inspired) our confidence - but once we began the project, he was thorough, thoughtful and consummately professional. He gave us a realistic schedule and finished the entire job slightly ahead of schedule - but, better yet, he took a great deal of time to explain to my wife and myself every detail of what for us was a new process - a Solar Installation. I can't truly say enough about his skill, thoughtfulness and professionalism. I'm writing this review nearly half a year after the installation, and thanks to our new Solar system, we have literally been 'saving' an average of around $100 a month - whether for winter heating or the necessary use of our heat-pump-based air conditioning which might seem like a luxury to some, but in weeks and weeks of 100 degree summer weather, has been a lifesaver. In our previous, pre-Oregon-Solarworks installation life, we would have been shelling out significant amounts on our monthly electricity bill - but now, it has virtually disappeared. I would and will unhesitatingly recommend Kirpal - and Oregon Solarworks - to anyone in the greater southern Oregon area who is considering or in need of an excellent solar contractor. He really knows his stuff - and having an installation done by someone who is thoughtful as well as skilled and professional, was a bonus.

It was difficult to find a company that could provide the total approach we needed to supply off grid solar, integrated system & support we needed for new home & shop.

I live on a beautiful property in the hills above Ashland, far enough from town to be off the grid. For nearly 6 six years I depended on a small generator and a pair of batteries for my electrical needs. Ironically, I learned of Oregon Solarworks through a referral from True South Solar, who told me Kirpal was especially skilled with off-grid installations. It turned out that two adjoining properties already had installations he had done, so I was able to preview my system with a couple of short walks. My neighbors both recommended Kirpal's work highly, so I engaged him to set me up as well. The availability of reliable, full-time, REAL electricity has literally turned my life on. I've installed lighting in a large, previously dark shop space, dusted off my power tools, acquired a few new ones, and am reveling in all I can now do. Of course, any competent solar installer could have brought me this benefit, but it was a pleasure to have Oregon Solarworks be the ones. My system was up and running ahead of schedule, and under budget, just in time to have my generator fail in the face of snow storm. I felt rescued in that moment, and my appreciation for the soundness and reliability of the system they installed has only grown since. I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Kirpal and Oregon Solarworks to anyone who wants to enjoy the benefits of solar power done right.

We approached Solar with a good amount of skepticism because we replaced our roof and had to decide if we would renew/upgrade the system to today's standards. Thanks to Kirpal and his team, we choose to update and renew our solar system. Kirpal's expertise and kind counsel was the deciding factor, giving us the time to reach that conclusion converted us to Solar Power enthusiasts. The quality of the equipment and workmanship is unchallenged and we couldn’t be happier. THANK YOU!!

Out of the several solar installers I spoke with I went with Oregon Solarworks because Kirpal Khalsa impressed with his knowledge of the industry and systems as well as his creativity and flexibility in providing a system that fits our needs.

The company, and Kirpal, we very friendly and knowable. He does what he says he will and shows up as he has scheduled. Plus we followed his recommendations and have a great system with battery back up.

We checked out several of their installations prior to selecting them. We found their work was neat and tidy and there was a lot of attention to detail.

Kirpal obviously knows what he is doing; he is very professional and responsive and explained everything in detail. Working with him was a pleasure and the results couldn't make us happier. The whole experience was excellent.

I was very please with my solar installation done by Oregon Solarworks. They took care of the necessary paperwork, helped answer any questions along the way and did a great job on our new solar system.

We chose Oregon Solarworks after a brief conversation with Kirpal a couple of years before the house construction began. Kirpal is extremely knowledgeable and is most enthusiastic about his work. We had nothing but the best experience with him throughout the process, and have recommended him to everyone that has asked about our array. Oregon Solarworks is highly recommended!

Experience doing solar. Was willing to use solar panels I requested. Took the extra time to apply for rebates. Took extra step on their own to cover all panel wiring under array with no extra cost, while another installer said I need to build a fence around my system for safety. Increased warranty to my inverter to 25 years without charge to me. Had good reference from other customers.

Thank you to Oregon Solarworks for the installation of my solar system. Kirpal was enthusiastic, timely, and informative. My system was installed without a hitch. All the paperwork was submitted in a timely fashion. The company walked me through the entire process from design to installation. I could not be happier with their work. Oregon Solarworks brought my dream of PV power to reality! I highly recommend their services.

When the building inspector inspector found out Kirpal installed the system, he looked no further and signed off on it. He had just put a unit on his house. He said," I could open it up and look at it but I know its going to be perfect."

We found Kirpal Khalsa to be very knowledgeable and highly competent in his field. He provided us with a wealth of information which enabled us to feel very comfortable with purchasing our system. Communication was very clear, and very timely. Our system was installed promptly, as we hoped it would be. The combination of the state and federal tax credits, and the Oregon State Trust grant made this too good of a deal to pass up! All business was conducted in a professional manner, and we would not hesitate to recommend Oregon Solarworks to anyone considering alternate energy systems.

I have never had an installation this complex go so well. No hype or promises that were not met, everything done professionally and ahead of schedule.

The work is careful and conscientious, on schedule and budget. They design the system with customer participation. The owner (Kirpal) is almost always present and participates in the work. He doesn't just send a bunch of workers. They are careful to make the system easier to work on if necessary-- they even use anti seize compound on almost all bolt- nut fasteners. And they are friendly!

Kirpal and Tyrone scheduled us quickly and completed the project in a very timely manner. Both of these fellows were mission oriented, but answered all our questions and accommodated our changes with a smile. Our system was a little different, but they strived to get the answers and make it right.......and they did. I would recommend Oregon Solar Works for others who want to go solar.

I would definitely use them again.

Super knowledgeable of the product and excited to explain. Missing a couple of pages in the hard copy manual given. Was indicated it was sent via email. Homeowner printed missing pages and applied it to the given manual. Homeowner suggests to give a completed manual so that customer does not need to do it.

I will definitely be contacting/hiring Renewable Energy Systems for my next project! They are experts in their field, as well as friendly and very easy to work with. The reason for the n/a answers was that this ended up being a very unusual "installation." If the whole thing would have gone according to our plans, I would have said "yes" to first question about incentives, "no" to second question, "yes" to project increasing the value of my house- and "yes" to contractor managing the purchase incentive application process.

When the Energy Trust inspector uses these contractors for his own home system, one knows that they are the best in the area. Love, love, love Kirpal and Kerry. Professional, fun and very informative. Then current incentives were the deciding factor. We would not have done the array project without them, although we might have done solar hot water.

Very skilled competent professionals. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

wonderful professionals, quick, efficient, and thorough!

Renewable did an excellent job all around on educating us, installation, training after install and follow up. during the installation we had frequent job updates and explanations on what would happen next. a GREAT experience.

Kerry did a neat, professional job using top-quality components. My wife was not initially excited about the project in the beginning, due to the size of the panel and he was patient with her questions- no "hard-sell". His contracts were extremely complete, and if he says it will produce X kW or kWh/year,-- or if he says it will cost X dollars... that`s _exactly_ what it will be Hire experience, or don`t do the project. The part where the mount was going in was on fill. Kerry had a back up game plan and it didn`t affect time line at all. He walked the city and engineering permits through quite quickly, and was always available by phone or e-mail.

Wonderful service, great people. We love our solar system! This is the second time we`ve used this contractor. We love working with him and the quality of his work.

Renewable Energy Systems is incredibly customer focused and went well beyond the stipulated agreement resulting in fantastic customer service.

We were charged the full amount minus the incentive from the Oregon Energy Trust which was sent directly to the contractor. The grants from IRS, USDA and Oregon Dept. of Revenue come directly to us and will reimburse us most of the costs of the project.

Kerry and Kirpal were great to work with - they were friendly, honest, skilled, and very knowledgeable. They made the installation a very easy process for us. I have much confidence in their abilities and have recommended them to several of my friends.

Kerry and Kirpal are both great to work with. Kerry is a great communicator and does what he says he will do. He also stands behind his work if there is any problems.

All involved were great. It was an excellent experience and we are delighted with the results.

Clearly, unlike myself, this was NOT Renewable`s first job. Planning to add additional panels to our existing PV display before spring, (08) For a total of 7,500 KW. Bob Inget

Renewable Energy Systems is a highly competent, professional organization. They have been very helpful with followup questions and support.

we had an inverter replaced, the system was installed in 2005, and I am very happy with it

The given reason for not starting as initially projected was a delay on another job due to materials availability.

Excellent people to work with! We have been dedicated to renewable energy since we built the home in 1998, and were planning to upgrade for sometime to a larger system. So I guess you could say WE provided the info that most influence our decision!!

This was one of the most professional contractors that I have ever dealt with, and I am speaking as a retired building contractor. I had this installed mainly because I felt it was the right thing to do environmentally.

Kerry Whitehead is thorough, professional and enjoyable to have around. He was patient with my questions and he has promptly responded to any questions I had about my system after installation. I would recommended him highly to anyone. We are extremely proud of our pv system and show it to many visitors.
