Renova is a star âï¸
We had considered solar previously but just did not get a good vibe from the companies we talked with. Then a friend recommended Renova. We met once with the sales person, Barb, and knew we might be ready. However, we were still on the fence. She met with us again and gave us former clients to speak with. We decided to go ahead. Renova, with Barb leading the way, made the process easy. They took the lead with getting permits from the City AND approval from our HOA in a timely manner, this is not an easy task. The install crew were on time and were polite and neat and tidy. Working with contractors is often a challenge with Renova super smooth. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING SOLAR DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR TALK TO RENOVA!

A Wonderful company to work with
I purchased my system almost 3 years ago. I did all kinds of research before contracting with Renova Solar to do my system. They use the best and most efficient panels and inverters on the market. Their installers were very detailed oriented. Everything was done very professionally. If you are looking for a solar company, I would definitely recommend Renova Solar.

Stellar Solar
Let me begin by saying before you choose to go Solar-do your "homework" and research the other Solar companies that are out there. I am certain you will come to the conclusion that Renova is truly the only legit one. It took my husband and I close to a year to decide to commit to Solar as we were apprehensive and did not completely understand the whole process. However, all that changed after speaking to Brandon De La Torre, our Solar Consultant from Renova. From start to finish Brandon was thorough, efficient, and spoke to us using non jargon language that we could understand. He put us at ease with his non-pressure and honesty when it came to assisting us throughout this whole process. In addition, our Renova installation crew were professional, courteous, and timely. They arrived when they said they would and paid great attention to detail. Every step of the way worked out exactly how we were told it would, and there were no surprises. As a result, our Solar process from beginning to end has been stellar and leaving us wondering why we did not get the ball rolling sooner!

After doing research we chose Renova Solar for our residence. Brandon was the Solar Consultant we spoke with initially, and I have referred friends to Renova, because of his great knowledge and ability to answer our questions and any concerns we had. The fact that they use Sun Power panels was another selling point. Great company, great staff, we are so happy we went with Renova Solar!

Best Solar Company in the Valley
I have had my system for a few years now. Everything is still running like clock work - absolutely no problems. When I first started looking for solar I interviewed three companies - two local and one in Riverside. The sales consultant for Renova answered all my questions so I could understand AND had the best price. The installation process was exactly how I was told it would be done and it was within the timeframe I was told. The installers were very polite and respected my property. They arrived on time and cleaned up every day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Renova - they are a class act.

2 years & Going Strong
I recently finished my 2nd year of using solar energy at my home & I couldn't be more pleased. My 'true up' from the utility was almost a break even. At the end of year 2, I used 70-kilowatt hours of power from the grid & my solar system generated the other 21,317 kilowatt hours that I used. Renova Solar did an excellent job installing my Sunpower system that I monitor on my phone app regularly. They made the process very simple & transparent with no pressure whatsoever. Going solar is a "NO BRAINER" these days. My electricity costs are fixed for the next several decades & I can budget what I will spend on power which makes my life easier!!

Renova solar was amazing! Can't believe how professional the team was. From start to finish it was a great process. We are saving so much monthly and the panels look great. They use sunpower panels and they are the best! I'd highly recommend Renova solar. Mark and the team are just incredible! Another thing I love about Renova is they are so active in our community! It speaks volumes for who they are as a company and how much they care for people!

Renova solar
We just had purchased a Solar system with Renova using SunPower panels. The process of purchasing was very smooth and the installation crew, Jesse, Manny and Ian did an amazing job. They were professional and cleaned up every day before they left. The owner and VP were very approachable and helped us setup the online access and monitoring. Amazing service , quality and professionalism. If you want a high quality American company, I have highly encourage anyone considering a Solar to go through a Renova. You get the best for what you pay for! Thank again Team Renova! Cory and Judy

Ken has been a great resource, helping us explain to the buyer of our original Renova Solar home how the lease was structured. Ken helped us design a new solar system for our current home. David has been professional and attentive, giving us a daily report on progress and projected tasks. Robert and Ruben were professionals.

RENOVA.SOLAR IS FAR & AWAY THE BEST
I couldn't be happier with my experience with Renova.Solar. My salesperson, Jesse Kruszynski, was totally professional and was right on top of the whole approval & installation process and kept me posted every step of the way. Some of the words that come to mind in describing my experience include: professional, amazingly helpful, honest, punctual, thorough, and price competitive. I also liked the fact that they only use SOLARPOWER panels which are state-of-the-art and only manufactured in the USA.

Above and beyond
We recently had solar installed on our vacation home in Palm Springs, CA. We had shopped around among the many other providers in the Coachella Valley and ended up choosing Renova. We are glad we did and are very satisfied customers. They went above and beyond our expectations, as will be explained later. From the outset we got a good feeling for the company and their staff. Information was delivered in a language that was both informative and easy to understand. When you start to hear all the sales pitches it can be hard to wade through some of the terminology, but Jesse K made it easy to follow, without making it feel like a hard sales pitch. We decided to go with Renova for two main factors-- the product they sold (Sunpower panels) and the professionalism of their staff. We also decided to take advantage of the HERO program, which attaches the cost of energy efficiency upgrades to your property taxes-- spreading the cost of the system out over time. As Canadians, we couldn't take advantage of the 30% tax allowance US citizens are entitled to and combined with the slump of the Canadian dollar in recent months, we wanted to hedge our bets and pay out the loan once the CDN$ rose again. The amount of funds available through the HERO program depends on the equity of your home. This also meant that there was no initial outlay of cash. Renova has designated staff that takes care of this process for you and it takes about 20 minutes to get you approved. The installation process was a snap. Once a date was scheduled, the installation crew showed up right when expected. They were a friendly group of guys who walked me through the process of what was about to happen to our house. There were three Renova employees and two roofing specialists. The install went smoothly and finished almost one day ahead of its three day schedule. The third day was just a bit of tweaking to the control panel. The system went "live" on day three and the energy output was exactly what was to be expected if not a bit more. We were also able to obtain an app that allows us to monitor our system from our smart devices, which is extremely handy when we are at home 1000 miles away. The real reason I am writing this ringing endorsement of Renova is what they have done for us after the fact. We are the homeowners unlucky enough to live beside a complaining neighbor. Our home is in a gated community of stylized new mid-century modern homes. In order to proceed with our solar system (one of the many in our little community) we had to receive approval from our HOA and an Architectural Review Committee. The design/layout was approved with flying colors. Once the install was completed, a neighbor complained about the unsightliness of our panels and how two small triangles just above our roof line 'ruined' his view. It is solar in Palm Springs people!... Our system was designed to be minimally invasive to sight lines, with minimum tilt and angle and met or exceeded all guidelines and regulations... Our neighbor didn't believe in any of this and wanted four panels moved from the back of the house that he found offensive. We had no legal or moral obligation to appease his bullying and we are protected by the Solar Act of California. After numerous nasty emails from the neighbor and many conversations with Renova about appropriate solutions that the neighbor deemed unacceptable, it appeared there would be no resolution but for bad blood on one side of a concrete wall. Renova reached out and made us an offer we couldn't refuse and one that they didn't need to make. They offered, at no charge, to remove four panels and relocate them to another roof on our home. We took a moment to think this generous offer over. Part of me didn't want to give into the bully, but the better part of me didn't want to see a neighbor (also a prominent Palm Springs realtor/developer) bad mouth a company that has done everything right by us. We accepted the offer and have had the panels moved. I have never seen a company so willing to go out of their way to make a tough situation right. And we could not be more grateful to have chosen Renova as our solar provider. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for solar.
