A Solar Power Purchase Experience
Buying a Solar Power System is a once in a life time experience for most people. It's a major addition to one's most important and usually largest asset. Most of us have little or no knowledge about solar power, so it was critical to do the research necessary to understand what is good and what is bad related to the decisions to be made. The best resource available initially is the internet. I spent many hours and learned enough to be ready to talk to companies in the business. I started with 4 and quickly narrowed it down to 2. One was Sol Power Development LLC. After meeting with the company representatives the selection process started to get easier. As a career sale person I looked for the one that was more interested in my needs in a system rather than the needs of his company. After many discussions and "what If scenarios" I chose Sol Power to complete the project and we designed the best system for my house. Next we reviewed the type, quality and efficiency of equipment available and chose what was the most cost effective. While all of this was going on I did my homework on pricing and concluded the price I would be comfortable with for the system. When all was said and done, I was satisfied the price offered was very competitive and struck the deal.<br /><br />The following couple of weeks was the best part of the purchase experience. The installation project was managed with detail and was completed on time and all promises kept. I now watch my power meter rotate backwards :)<br /><br />Great Job Sol Power Team.

PATRICK WELLER PROVIDED EXCELLENT, RESPONSIVE, & TIMELY SERVICE
GOING SOLAR WITH SOL POWER<br /> My wife and I live on Montero Road in Cameron Park. Our home is all-electric and we have watched as our PG&E bills keep rising with alarming regularity. We decided to look into solar as a way of containing our long-term electric costs. I read-up on photo-voltaic (PV) solar power before contacting four different solar providers. <br /> Among other things I learned it is wise to limit my search to licensed C-46 contractors. These providers are specifically trained in all aspects of solar design and installation. Nowadays many contractors that offer solar are C-10's (electricians), or C-20's (HVAC installers). Not that there is anything wrong with that, but in my opinion these contractors lack the overall expertise to design and install an effective solar power system.<br /> Of the four C-46 providers, we obtained quotes from three of them. Two of the firms sent salesmen to our home to offer a proposal (not that there is anything wrong with that). When questioned about the sketchiness of their proposals, they told me they would provide the details following a site survey by qualified solar professionals. In each case I said fine -- let's schedule the survey. To my chagrin, they told me that would require we sign a contract first! I replied that I would not sign a contract before I knew the particulars of my purchase (i.e., the makes and models of the solar materials, and field verification of their "rough" proposals). In each instance we were not able to agree.<br /> I contacted a fourth provider, locally-based Sol Power Development LLC. The person who arrived at our home, Patrick Weller, is a licensed C-46 contractor. Before submitting his proposal, Patrick did a thorough site survey, even flying a drone over our house to take a battery of photos! His proposal was very specific as to price, materials to be installed, and our solar system's projected electrical production. He explained everything in a way my wife and I could understand and answered all our questions. One of the things he told us is he planned to use Solar Power Optimizers (one for each panel) to help mitigate our mild tree-shading issues. <br /> During the next few days, we considered our options. I contacted the four different client references Patrick had given me. All of them were enthusiastic about their experience dealing with Sol Power and were satisfied with their own recent solar installation experiences. We signed the contract with Sol Power. Now, less than a month after signing, our system is installed and working -- I'm actually looking forward to our next PG&E bill!<br /> Additionally, we purchased our solar outright so we'll be able to claim a 30% rebate on our federal taxes against our project cost.<br /> -David

Excellent professionalism, service and quality workmanship
Patrick provided extremely professional service and high quality workmanship with the solar project for my home. He even went above and beyond to resolve all of my additional concerns around the maintenance of my ground mounted system . That in addition to the value that is created with the energy savings upgrade to my home and the increased property value, has earned my highest praise.
