Solar EXCELLENT

I had the pleasure of having my solar done with Stefan's team. They gave me the breakdown on how long it will take to do the install of the solar panes and the permits.. There are 3 permits or processes down. One permit is for the solar through my city. The second one is for solar the battery added to the solar that also needs its own permit and inspection. The third is to get the SDG&E to approve the solar going into the grid. Stefan has been great in explaining the process and how the solar can work. There is an app for your computer or phone to see how much electricity you are using with your solar, how much you are putting into the grid and much much more to see how much your savings you are getting with solar. I had 19 solar panels installed plus a battery for off the grid emergencies. People do not understand if the grid is off and you do not have a battery backup, your electricity is down too. The backup battery will activate on its own when it does not see the grid available. I highly recommend this team for your solar. Thank you for your expertise and your team for explaining everything I needed to know.

Stefan Schweizer one of the best, very meticulous in his work

Stefan was the contractor / installer of my solar system. He is very knowledgeable on all types of solar systems, and off grid installations. He did a super nice job first-class craftsmanship on the whole system. My panels are a couple hundred feet from my house close to my power pole and meter. The support system for my solar panels is heavy duty, well engineered. Solar panels were placed perfect on the framework. I would highly recommend Stefan Schweizer to friends and neighbors , for a solar contractor. ;o) You're in good hands

Competent, Fast and Value Added Service

SRE is competitively priced and exceptionally competent. Stefan is a joy to work with. He is knowledgable and went "the extra mile" to be sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I had some unrelated electrical issues at the house and he solved those as well.

Solar renewable energy, the best!

I shopped and got many quotes on buying my system out right, and buy leasing. Many hard sales pitches on leasing. The best price was from Stefan of Solar Renewable Energy!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I am thoroughly delighted in Stephan and his work. The placement of panels was changed without my input, but I am getting used to it, and perhaps it was for the best. Absolutely the BEST PRICE in town for equal equipment and installation. Personable, quick work, clean and respectable workers. I would do it again with Stephan, and I DO recommend him for your Solar Installation.

Great work, fair price!

We got several solar bids, but decided on Stefan and Solar Renewable Energy because we knew he would personally supervise the installation. He was professional from start to finish. We were able to fast-track our system and got it permitted, installed, and up and running in a very short time. Stefan takes the time to personally make sure we understood each aspect of the system. We have already recommended him to our friends!

I recommend SRE to everyone

I'm so glad I found SRE. It was from LDinSD on an online solar forum. I received about a dozen quotes and SRE was one of the best and also Stefan, the owner was very knowledgable about solar. He was also here, part of the install the whole time. My install took about 6 weeks, from signing the contract to SDG&E giving permission to turn on the system. Most of the wait time was for my city to approve the permit. Even if you choose another solar installer, you need to speak with SRE to sanity check what other companies are proposing and the price they're charging. I found some other companies to be more painful than a used car lot. I think Stefan and his company will be around for a long time, with the way he and his employees interact with their customers.

Exceptional

My experience with SRE and Stefan, the owner of the company, has been exceptional. After going through several bids from salesmen of large local installers here in San Diego, I chose SRE. SRE does not have all the overhead of paying for such things as salesmen and advertisements, so as a small privately owned company, they are extremely competitive on price. Additionally, I learned by talking with Stefan that he had several years of experience installing Solar for commercial installations prior to starting his own company. To me, this signaled professionalism because electrical code for commercial installations are generally more stringent than residential code. I am a bit of a research fanatic and probably spent a good year intermittently studying all types of panel and inverter systems. When it came time to ask for a quote from SRE, there was no pushing of systems or inverter types from Stefan. I told him exactly want I wanted and how big of a system I wanted. I went with some great quality and highly efficient LG310 panels and a Powerwall ready SE7600 inverter system. I was pleasantly surprised when I received no push back--just a great quote ($1-$2 less per DC watt than the big boys). The salesmen from the larger companies all pushed for a particular system and often did not even know about certain details I had discovered during my extensive research. This is not to say that Stefan and SRE would not help you choose an appropriate system if you needed it. He definitely knows his stuff. I was pleasantly surprised, shocked even, at how quickly SRE installed my system. From the time Stefan came and inspected my roof and we signed the contract, it took less than 3 weeks to get permitting approved by the city. While my research did not extend to the permitting process, Stefan showed me the engineering plans and blueprints even, and they looked quite impressive. I'm assuming this stems from his commercial experience. After approval, Stefan came the following week with his crew and installed the system in a couple of days! No waiting, no queues. He followed up with the city inspector and SDGE the next day and I had my system approved for service. All in a months time--wow! We easily beat NEM 2.0 and will now be grandfathered in for NEM 1.0, saving us about $100-200 annually in additional fees as part of NEM 2.0. As to the quality and professionalism of the installation, it was an exceptional job. The attention to detail is what I look for--things like how neat the wiring is in the box and how the conduit is painted and tucked under the rooftop as it travels from my inverter to the box. Stefan even set me up with full access to the monitoring for my system which allowed me to see the layout and individual performance of my panels. All in all, we could not be happier with Stefan and SRE. I have recommended him to all my co-workers, friends, and family. This has been one of the best investments we have made and we are glad we chose SRE.

Great to do business with.

I'm very happy to have found this company to handle the installation of solar panels on to my house. SRE employees and management were a nice crew of friendly, professional, no-nonsense workers. They showed up on time and kept in contact from start through finish. They led me through the process, answered all my questions, were always available by phone or text, and even were able to start and finish my installation ahead of schedule. Very reasonable pricing for the high-quality LG310 panels which I had installed. They patiently walked me through the process, paperwork and SDG&E requirements and inspections. I highly recommend this company for your solar panels installation.
