FORME Solar

Great job

I had a great experience with these folks. They were professional and personable at the same time. They did not push a hard sell, promptly responded to all my communications and all around were fantastic dealing with the city officials and SCE. I have had the panels installed and running for over a year and everything is still running well.

Checked their solar reviews

My husband and I both heard about the terrible experiences going solar. But with our SCE bill hitting over $400 in the summer we figured the risk was worth the reward. We weren't sure who to ask with our questions so we contacted a few companies that had great reviews. After comparing all the various solar companies we opted for Forme Solar due to their warranty and experience with solar repair. Well, it was the best thing we ever did. Going solar has cut our utility bill to a fraction of what it once was and we have a pool and two AC units. The customer service and installation was fast and responsive. I am very pleased with our solar system and would get it installed again with Forme Solar.

Expensive Electricity Bills

We have a $500 electricity bill and was looking to various ways to reduce our costs. We tried everything but our bills just keeps rising so we decided that solar finally made sense. We had Forme Solar come out to do a home energy audit and figure out how much it would cost to go solar and how much we could save on our electricity bills. Terry provided a comprehensive proposal that detailed my exact savings to offset our bill. They were great about answering all of my questions and provided detailed financials on the cost and savings. For the quality of work they did and the peace-of-mind they provided, we regret not going solar sooner. I would recommend these guys to everyone. Price was great too :). Thank you Forme Solar!

Passed the first time!

My neighbor referred me to Forme Solar and I'm glad that she did. At first when I was shopping I was bombarded by solar companies trying to send me a quote or come to my home. Working with Forme was straight forward and they sent me a quote the same day. They came and installed solar panels on my home and it went off without a hitch. They arrived in the morning and finished before lunchtime. The panels and system looks great! Better than I could have imagined. Forme Solar has been great for coordinating all the tasks along the way, including pushing our HOA for their approval, to handling all the paperwork, and scheduling everything necessary to make sure it was completed. Donnee, their solar technician helped make sure that I downloaded the solar monitoring app to see that my solar energy system was working properly. I can now track how much electricity my solar panels are producing. Everything went very smooth and I would highly recommend them based on the installation. The city reviewed the installation in a week, and we pass the first time.

Professional and Clean

The finished job was professional, from the conduit to installing 28 solar panels on the roof. I couldn't believe that they could have gotten all that work done in just 5 hours. They were very clean and never had to step inside my house. Cleaned up everything, including sweeping out my garage. I am giving them a 5 star review so far.

Who you gonna call?

Was impressed with the professionalism and the quality of this company. Forme Solar installed our system a few months ago but I was suddenly having an issue. Found out a recent power surge blew a fuse. They came by the next day to check on the system and fix the connection. No charge! Was nice to know that I could call them when something went wrong.

Next step, Tesla powerwall

Picked them because they made it easy. Love my solar energy system. Forme Solar did a solid job installing solar panels on my roof. Next step is to add solar batteries. Considering the Tesla POWERWALL.

They were COVID-19 available

Forme Solar was easy to work with and they did a good job. Despite everything going on with COVID-19 they were still available to answer any questions I had about how to monitor the system. I’m happy with their service and happy with our solar. I would highly recommend going solar.

Articulated the cost

I wasn't totally sold on the idea of solar power for our home when my husband and I first discussed it. The Forme Solar Electric representatives we're helpful in articulating the benefits and most importantly the costs. Throughout the process they were patient and professional, keeping us updated with any changes. Our installation was delayed until we fixed the roof shingles. They were able to help us with that, which made dealing with the process easier. Now that our solar system is up and running we love seeing the saving. Happy with the system and the customer service we received from Forme.

Easy to work with

Felt safe working with them. Forme Solar was easy to work with and made sure to avoid any unnecessary contact. They were available to answer any questions and provide updates. I’m happy with their service throughout the solar installation process and super happy with our solar. The smaller bills is really nice, especially now. I would highly recommend going solar.

Thankful to have solar

Just got my first electric bill and it was less than $30! We are so excited because we never really cared about our electricity costs before. But right now it feels like every dollar really counts. The timing for the system couldn’t have been better, and just thankful that it is currently on and working.

Pleasant and Professional

We were looking to get solar panels for our home. We contacted a few solar installers initially but ended up going with Force Solar because our conversations with them were pleasant and professional. We also saw some positive ratings online which made our decision even easier. Throughout the process their solar technicians were easy to communicate with. They seemed to do great quality work, caring about the details. Even before they were finished, they told me how they were going to move a few panels because it didn't look quite straight. Appreciate the workmanship.

Looks Matter

Forme Solar was the solar company we picked to install solar panels. They came and installed solar panels on my home yesterday, and it went off without a hitch. They arrived in the morning and finished before lunchtime. The panels and system looks great! Better than I could have imagined. Forme Solar has been great for coordinating all the tasks along the way, including pushing our HOA for their approval, to handling all the paperwork, and scheduling everything necessary to make sure it was completed. Donnee, their solar technician helped make sure that I downloaded the solar monitoring app to see that my solar energy system was working properly. I can now track how much electricity my solar panels are producing. Everything went very smooth and I would highly recommend them based on the installation. The city will review the installation in a week, I hope that we pass the first time. Nick was pretty confident about the installation, but couldn’t promise that we would pass inspection the first time. My expectation is that the system will be activated this month.

They were up for the challenge

I live in a super old home with lots of issues and so I was debating if I should go solar. I heard that it would present a lot of challenges due to the layout and the condition of our roof. Forme Solar was the only one willing to tackle the challenge at a cost that made sense for us. They got our solar panels installed ahead of schedule and looks amazing compared to the others systems that I've seen. Process: Everything went smoothly even after the contract was signed. They helped us with our permits, the city inspection and submitting my tax refund. I was constantly kept updated as to when I needed to be home, and the documents I needed to review. Glad we ended up going solar, and was satisfied with how the solar installation project turned out.

Cheerful, prompt and responsive

The Forme Solar staff (Leanne, Mark, Donnee and Nick) considered our electricity needs and educated us about our solar energy options of the solar installation. After reviewing 5 estimates of potential solar options based on our energy consumption, we made a financially and environmentally prudent decision and installed 13 solar panels and a Solaredge inverter. Forme Solar Electric accommodated our schedule for installation, helped us with the solar rebate program, the associated costs of ownership, and handled all of the city permits. They were courteous and we passed inspection the first time. Donnee and Nick were cheerful, prompt and communicated efficiently and effectively with clear with instructions and explanations.

Fast and easy solar system installation

After my neighbor installed his solar system and starting raving about it, I thought that I would look into it. After a bit of research, consultations after consultations, and a few quotes I ended up going with Forme Solar Electric. They offered a great price, better than my neighbors! Once we decided to go with Forme, the process went fairly quickly. I will say it was a bit of a longer process than I thought. There were a few complications that we had to overcome. Dealing with the HOA really extended out the timeframe. My neighbor finished his solar installation in 4 months after he got permission from the HOA, mine only took 4 weeks. It feels nice that I was able to reap the benefits of solar much faster. I'm thrilled with how my system is performing and love checking out the production numbers daily. Was able to save me 3 months on the installation and was cheaper?! Thanks Forme!

Would recommend. Felt comfortable with them installing our solar

We ended up going with forme solar after meeting with 6 other companies. It took a while to finally decide on a solar installer and why Forme Solar was the best option since it almost felt like comparing apples to oranges. After the 5th proposal, I realized that no two solar system proposals were alike. The placement, cost, and size varied a lot, so I figured that I would have to standardize the system and cost. I used an 8.72kwh system as my baseline and figured a range of $24k - $31k for the same sized system. When I factored in financing the system, which ranged from 3% - 9%, I was able to narrow down my choices to Forme Solar. With their cost and financing, they provided terms that the others couldn’t beat. They recommended all 335 all black panels from Q Cells. Then panels turned out really nicely, they look great.

Price, Scope of Products and Responsiveness was the best we saw

After receiving and comparing 5 proposals from different solar companies we picked Orme Solar. We compared everything from price, recommended system size, licenses, location, install experience, and reputation. My hesitation with Orme Solar was that the recommended system size was on the larger side and their experience. But after speaking with Nick, and seeing their work I could see how their experience speaks for itself. Thinking back, we are glad that we went with the larger size since we know that our usage is only going to go up in the future. I’m even starting to regret not getting a bigger size! We highly recommend Orme Solar from how they originally designed the system to the quality of how they installed our solar panel system. They did great work for us. Their prices and the scope of products they could offer were the best we saw and they were always accessible.

Love my new solar power system!

Installation was completed in one day! LOVE my new solar system! Nick at Orme Solar made sure that the job went smoothly, and that the system looked good! He went above and beyond the call of duty, providing white glove quality service. So very pleased - no money out of pocket - just my monthly predictable electric bill which is 32% less than my current SCE bill! I find that to be a win/win. My biggest hesitation going solar was dealing w/ the sales team and solar panel installation process. With Orme Solar, all of those elements went smoothly. I cannot believe I waited this long to go solar. I've gotten multiple quotes, but would highly encourage you to check them out! www.ormesolar.com for your free energy consult - you will not be disappointed.

I used to work in construction

I used to work in construction, so I can be very fussy when it comes to hiring contractors. I know the difference between a decent job and a great one. From start to finish, I was impressed with Orme Solar from the way they communicated to how they executed. They did a comprehensive review of my roof and found some problems that I hadn't discovered. They then provided a professional estimate and proposal with multiple options around quality and price. Just a reroof, or reroof plus solar. I decided to bundle in solar with the roofing because I could bundle together the tax credit, and they offered roofing materials that were made to work well together - rather than piece together a solution only using the cheapest materials. I knew that I was getting quality with how they spoke about how to bundle together the roofing with solar, the aesthetics and the cost difference. Once we settled on the right type of materials for our roof and solar, they scheduled the job quickly. On the scheduled day, they arrived on time and completed the entire roofing work and solar installation in one day. They also improved the ventilation, properly vented the bathroom fans, replaced any rotten deck and fascia boards, and sealed and caulked well. At cleanup they picked up every spec of debris. They went over the entire yard...twice, picking up stray nails, trash, and scrap materials. You couldn't even tell that they had been there. I wouldn't call anyone else for solar installation or reroof. They did a great job at a reasonable price.

Glad we went with Orme

The Orme solar team was absolutely fantastic. They got all 37 of our solar panels on our roof in a day! Talked to a coworker who also went solar, and how they've ran into delays because their installers kept pushing back the install and missed inspection. Didn't think that the solar installer would matter that much, but glad we found Orme! Especially with the expiring tax credit, we are glad that everything went as planned. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

No Leaks!

Searched for a solar installer in Los Angeles that could do a commercial project. Went on Yelp and called a few places, and found Orme Solar. When it rained in Los Angeles, they made sure to tarp the areas that were being worked on. WIth the recent rain, was able to see their quality of work and loved the fact that we had NO LEAKS! They were one of the few installers who could not only install commercial but also specialized in solar and roof repair. It is great to get that peace-of-mind that our installation and future maintenance would be taken care of.

Longer than expected

Going solar took longer than expected but Orme Solar was great with their follow up.

Professional and Thorough

Wanted to go solar and we were able to get our solar panels installed promptly. Joaquin was professional and thorough. No mess, no hassles. Showed up on time as promised.

Solar panels and battery

Fortunately, we installed solar panels and a battery last month, so we were not affected by the recent outage. I am not very good at English and I am very happy that Orme introduced me to Korea and installed a very good system at a reasonable price. If you are interested in solar, I would recommend Orme Solar.
