Inherited a SolRUs system with home purchase

We recently purchased a new (to us) home that has solar as installed by SolRUs. This has been our first system and in the purchase process it was discovered that the inverter needed replacement. Daniel and his team have been absolutely amazing and promptly got the system back online! Additionally, SolRUs has been an amazing resource in helping my wife and I understand how the system works, NEM stuff - basically a Solar Boot Camp (Thank you Daniel!) I am so happy with their services that we are contemplating using them for a commercial install at our business as well.

Daniel, Chris and the rest of the team were amazing at communicating and that made it deserving of 5 stars in itself. The prices were competitive, the communication made me feel confident with going with the team regardless of the bid. They killed the execution as planned. Just with all solar installs, know what you want and expect going in, read and know your contracts, not just prices. This made it easy. Knowing your stuff is the homeowners responsibility. 5/5 for also getting the panels up and wired before the end of the year. Once the panels are on my driveway, I just put my trust in the team and walked away. Was not disappointed. Due to my roof pitch, I cant even tell on the ground. I opted for the PW3. I was referring them before I even I had my own install completed for well over a year just based on quotes and communication. Installed in the east bay area.

Two years ago, my friend referred me to Daniel from Sol R Us. I called him and he walked me through the whole process on what getting solar is all about then created a plan for my energy needs. Daniel showed me why it just made sense for me to go with them and get solar. After speaking with Daniel, I went to a couple other companies to compare. I didn't get good pricing and didn't get good vibes from these other big name companies so I went with Sol R Us. A couple weeks later, Luis and Jesse installed my solar panels and 2 Tesla wall batteries. Let me tell you, they comminicated very well on what they were going to do and they kept the jobsite super clean. Just recently in April 2026, one of my Tesla wall batteries failed and I reached out to Daniel and he was super swift in getting a replacement from Tesla as my warranty covered it all. Jesse came by a week later and got me up and running. Just wanted to thank Daniel, Jesse, Luis, and the whole Sol R Us family for making this a smooth and enjoyable experience!

SolRus Installed my system in May of 2022. I was referred to them by a co-worker, so I was able to hear about how great they were to work with. From start to finish, it was a great experience. I'm very happy I went with them to install my system. The components they install are top notch. Not just the panels and the inverters, but also the mounting brackets they use; they are the best in the industry. Daniel was very easy to work with and not pushy at all. Their pricing was great (some quotes I got from other companies were double what I ended up paying). My system has already paid for itself and the savings keep piling up as PG&E's rates continued to rise since my install in '22. It's been great not to have to stress anymore about running my pool pump or running my AC during the summer. We love our system. I would 100% recommend SolRus.

Sol R Us, Inc. is a top notch solar company. Not only are they knowledgeable and competent, the level of service is above board. Our sales rep, Daniel, was super friendly, respectful and helpful in finding the right system for us. The owner, Chris, double checked everything, including layout of panels, prior to installation and was onsite throughout the entire installation. The electrician, Jesse, did such a beautiful job installing the two batteries we purchased. Jessica followed up with timelines and next steps from PG&E to insure a smooth finalization process. I would highly recommend Sol R Us for your solar needs.

I interviewed 9 different solar companies, including estimates, and Sol R Us was the most informed, personalized, informative, and helpful. We were getting a new roof at the time too and they were able to coordinate confidently and even optimized our energy more than originally estimated when things changed without a hiccup. I especially appreciated Daniel’s communication and the conduit artistry of Jesse and the installation team. Details matter to me and it mattered to them too. Would highly recommend Sol R Us for top-tier installation, equipment options, and service.

Exceptional Experience with Solrus Solar Company

I recently had a solar system installed by Sol R US, working with Daniel Rosenberg and the Solrus Solar Company, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Daniel and his team's professionalism, transparency, and commitment to quality were evident from start to finish. Here's a breakdown of my experience: Customer Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The team at Solrus was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, answering all my questions about solar panel efficiency, installation, and long-term benefits. They provided clear explanations and tailored solutions that met my energy needs and budget. Daniel thoroughly reviewed our existing PG&E bills, proposed an optimized custom solution, and handled all the approval paperwork. He ensured we fully understood the solar system package and its benefits. Installation Process: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The installation process was seamless and completed ahead of schedule. The crew was respectful of my property, cleaned up all debris, and even set aside extra tiles for potential future use—very thoughtful! They also explained how to monitor the system effectively, making the entire process stress-free. Transparency and Pricing: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solrus offered competitive pricing and provided a detailed breakdown of costs. They clearly explained the panel brand, product specifications, and inverter details. Additionally, they guided us through the available tax incentives and rebates, which helped ease the financial burden. Overall Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Solrus Solar Company for anyone considering solar energy. Their expertise, quality products, and exceptional customer care make them a standout choice in the renewable energy sector. Daniel also set up my Enphase account and configured the grid settings on my phone app, which allows me to track peak production and usage—super convenient! If you're looking for a reliable company for solar installation, I wholeheartedly recommend Solrus Solar Company.

Amazing experience with Sol R US

Wanted to write this review to give anyone thinking of solar to absolutely go with Sol R US. From my first interactions with Daniel in sales, it was clear he was very knowledgeable and actually cared about the customer. His quote was significantly better than the competition and the install was clean and efficient. The actual owner was part of the installation team and was great to deal with. Overall, highly recommended!

Sol R Us upgraded our main service panel upgrade and installed solar last month. Very happy with the end result. Even my roofer came by to inspect and said it was installed perfectly. The system has been working out beautifully. Sol R Us beat other quotes, used quality products, and were a pleasure to work with. Daniel was extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process and even after. I would highly recommend Daniel and Sol R Us for your solar needs.

SolRus is legit!

It's been over a year since my installation, but I wanted to wait until at least after my first annual true-up bill from PG&E, so here it goes: I was referred to SolRus by a former co-worker. I got to see his install and learn about his experience working with Chris, Daniel and Arielle. I'm the type that really gets into the weeds before making a big purchase (I have a touch of OCD- lol); I got 6 bids and have been very happy with my decision to use SolRus. They offer a premium product at a very competitive price- actually the best I was able to find. Everything from the solar panels, the inverters and even the roof mounts they use (which are not all created equal) are top notch. Some companies I got bids from didn't even specify the model or brand of solar panels they were proposing (immediate red flag). Some companies that did provide a description of the equipment to be installed were asking nearly twice as much for inferior panels, inverter and mounts. Trying to charge Ferrari prices for a Ford Pinto is crazy! I had a brand new roof installed just before getting solar, so I was really concerned about them damaging it. After the install, during last winter's heavy rains, I went into the attic a few times to check for leaks and all was good. I had Daniel oversize my system by 20% because my next car will likely be an EV and I also knew we would use more electricity than we had in the past (most people that get solar typically do). The system actually produced 609kWhrs more than what Daniel projected it would from June 2022 through May 2023, despite a very rainy/cloudy winter. I was very happy to see that on our first annual true-up bill with PG&E, they owed us $154.72! I was a net exporter for the entire year by 1,818kWhrs, which should be plenty for me when I get an EV (I don't drive a ton). Daniel knows what he's doing in designing a system! If you're shopping around for solar, be weary of the guys that are aggressively selling leases and Power Purchase Agreements. They are typically a very bad deal = the worst way to get solar. You'll end up paying multiples what it will cost you to simply buy the system, even if you need to finance the purchase. The guys aggressively selling PPAs are the sleazy, used car salesmen of the solar industry. They have a slick response to any objections you may raise about leasing or PPAs, but read the fine print on those 20-25 year contracts. They are written to extract as much value/money from the consumer as they can; they favor the solar company, not the consumer. Glad that Daniel never even mentioned a lease or PPA. I'm a very happy owner of a solar system that has exceeded my expectations. With the recent rate increases from PG&E, and since I'm grandfathered in under NEM 2.0, I expect my payback to be just 3.5 years. =) As of this review on 9/25/23, I have referred 23 people to SolRus and all of them are happy customers. Yes, 23, which includes my brother, my partner's parents, friends and neighbors. I have no reason to believe that Chris, Daniel, Arielle and team won't continue to provide customers with a great product at a great price and an excellent overall customer experience.

Great company to work with

I started my solar search at the start on March 1st, 2023. I wanted to get in on NEM2 as well as pay a fair price for a good system that met my current and future needs. I contacted Sol R Us along with other local installers and the big nationwide companies. I had 9 quotes of fairly similar systems but the prices varied greatly given the NEM2 rush. I went with Sol R Us because of the price, the equipment, working with their main sales contact Daniel as well as recommendations from others. Contract signed, PGE paperwork submitted, permit issued, install completed - 31 days from first contact. 2 weeks later city inspector came out and everything was good. I waited a few months to write this review to just make sure everything worked as expected and all is correct with my PGE billing. Everything is! 5 stars and would recommend Sol R Us.

The Quest for Solar, fulfilled by Sol R Us

The Sol R Us team is great to work with. I had a need for a Solar System by the end of NEM2.0 deadline in Q1 2023. Working with my Sales Rep. Mr. Daniel Rosenburg, he was able to lock me in at a great price and grandfathered me in with PG&E for NEM2.0. I got quotes from other Solar Companies and they were much more expensive, but Sol R Us was there with a good deal. In fact, I was referred to by my friend and dental hygenist about Sol R Us. The team did a great job installing and getting the job done under really hot, excessive conditions during the summertime in Brentwood. All the parts were in stock and ready for deployment on my roof. They were even kind enough to install the bird netting and 3 owls to deter the local pigeon population. I thank Daniel, Ariel, John, the Install Team, and Chris the CEO on a fantastic job. Now I can save money on my electric bills with PG&E and not afraid to crank up the AC during the hot Brentwood Summer Days and Nights. Best regards - Gail L. San Diego

Awesome job

I contacted SolRUs due to a referral from a friend. I contacted the sales team on May 11th. They asked me for information on current energy usage, which I supplied. A few days later, Chris, the owner, came to my house to inspect the roof and my electrical setup. We discussed the project and he was up-front with answers to all of my questions. They gave me a quote on May 20. The only downfall is that they only install Panasonic or LG branded panels. As those are more expensive panels, their quote was slightly above other quotes. Chris said they are currently booked for installs for 30 days, so they scheduled my install for June 27th. But on June 3rd, they called me and said they had a cancellation on Monday, June 6th. They asked if I was ok with them doing the install on June 6th. I was ok with that. The team arrived at about 8:05am. Everyone on the team was friendly. Chris, the owner, came by around 10am to make sure everything was going well and asked if I had any questions. They completed the install by 1pm. The entire job was done professionally and efficiently. The next day, I received emails with information about the 25-year warranties on all of the products that they installed. I got a call from Daniel from the sales team. He asked how everything went. He set me up with the APP that is used to monitor the panels. He has scheduled the city inspection for tomorrow. As soon as that is complete, they submit the paperwork to get net-metering completed with our electric utility, which may take 2-3 weeks. I am VERY happy with how the project was completed - from beginning to end. In less than a month from my initial contact with SolRUs, I'm up and running on solar power. I didn't have to deal with anything. They took care of permits and inspections. They will submit the paperwork needed with my electrical utility. I would highly recommend SolRUs to anyone.

SOLRUS Engineering deserved to be acknowledged for the exceptional quality of work, excellent customer service, quick responsiveness on questions and shown positive attitude each time. I went through 7 companies and compared quotes before deciding to go with SOLRUS. There were a couple of companies that are cheaper, however the work is being subcontracted. Daniel (Sales consultant) is very pleasant to work with. He is very patient and responsive. Chris who I believe is the owner, always seem to be inspecting and ensuring the work are done properly by his team. They don’t do any short cut on installation. I was able to refer 3 of my friends and they were also very happy with SOLRUS. I truly recommend SOLRUS if you are planning to install Solar. The most important thing is that they truly care about the customer and provide quality work.

When I decided on Solar installation, I researched the company that would do it. When I looked into Next-door, I realized this company, SOLRUS being mentioned highly by many of my neighbors. So, I reached out to them. Both Daniel and Chris were super friendly. Daniel was knowledgeable and walked me through the entire process of what would happen.

SOLRUS is a professional, friendly, and honest Solar Installer

SOLRUS Engineering exceeded my expectations and provided fantastic customer service throughout the whole solar panel purchasing and installation process. Their solar panel selection, equipment and other mounting hardware and is top notch, and their prices were much better than the other quotes I received. Starting with Daniel (Energy Consultant) who walked me through the whole process and helped to educate me about solar panels systems. After listening to my needs, he quoted several different systems. He was very patient with me as I asked a lot of questions, and he was always happy to answer all the questions or concerns I had. They were the only company I contacted that offered a free site inspection before signing a contract. This was great because that way there were no surprises after I signed the contract. Chris (owner) came out for the site inspection and continued to educate me about solar systems. He improved the proposed panel layout, and we added a couple more panels and upgraded to a higher wattage better looking solar panel. The installation was beautifully done, and they finished in one day. They did a fantastic job and took care of some small roofing needs not in the quote. They also did the extra finish work like painting the conduit to match the roof shingles and house wall. They took care of all the building permits, inspection as well as the PGE paperwork required to start using the solar system. If you are looking for a professional, friendly, and honest solar installer with the best prices in town, do yourself a favor and give them a try. You will be glad you did like I am.

Absolutely the Best

We want to give a huge shout out to Sol R Us Electrical Engineering on our solar system installation. Daniel Rosenberg did a Zoom call with me and modeled out the system using their software tools and priced out a top of the line system using Panasonic panels. Chris then came out and confirmed the layout. I researched several other installers but Sol R Us was by far the best price and most straightforward. They didn’t try to sell us more than we need. Their contract was very complete and fair to both parties. Permitting was done by Sol R Us and installation only took two days. Chris continually asked if we had any questions and made sure we understood the steps to getting to operating status. All paperwork was prepared by Sol R Us and sent to us for DocuSign, so all we had to do was review and sign. One week later, the city inspected the system and one week after that we had Permission To Operate! We are now solar energy producers! Do your due diligence, but trust me that Sol R Us is the company you should go with as they are the most competitively priced, reliable, and trustworthy. They get the job done on time and walked us through the entire process answering all questions promptly and completely.

I rarely provide on line reviews, however I need to give a shoutout to Daniel, Chris and Sol R US Engineering crew. After discussing with multiple (8) solar companies, I have decided to trust Sol R Us with my Solar System install project. I am very happy I did. Daniel and Chris are very knowledgeable, responsive, professional and they delivered what they promised.
