SolarMax Technology

We've been mostly very pleased with SolarMax! especially BRANDON

Brandon Mezzanatto was our sales rep and came into our home after we had had two previous solar companies talk to us and we were about ready to purchase another system. Brandon showed us how we could save significant money with SolarMax and still get a great system for our needs. We particularly appreciated that he spent the time to answer all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. Within a week of signing the contract the process of inspection through turning on the system was very timely! We believe that Brandon's efforts got our system installed quickly! Our contact was with Brandon (not sure who our project manager was) primarily and he always quickly got back to us. The workers seemed professional as various parts of the install took place. Our only complaint was that our system was turned on June 30 and we did not get the technician to install the monitoring system until 2 months later. Despite our calls to get this part completed that part didn't happen in a timely manner. Thank you. Brandon!

Since the beginning of the solar Installation process my sales representative, Pete Herrera, has made my experience a tranquil and credible one. He came to my home and sat with me personally to discuss all of the options SolarMax had to offer; followed by reviewing what options would personally work and fit best for myself and my home’s conditions. Pete was so dependable and knowledgeable on the topic of solar that I couldn’t help but to pass on his expertise to my mother who lived directly across the street from me. We walked over to my mother’s home the very same day I signed my contract. The process for my mother was just as easy and smooth as my own. So smooth and trustworthy that my mother then signed her very own solar contract the same day! We were both very happy with everything and everyone throughout the process. Everyone we came in contact with from SolarMax was friendly, reliable, and responsible when it came to their work. Unfortunately, soon after the process began, my mother passed away. At this point, the one thing I couldn’t stop thinking of is what I was going to do with this extra solar system on my mother’s home??? The stress began, so I then called Pete for his suggestions and recommendations. All I could remember from his call was him emphasizing “not to worry about it, it’ll be fine.” Just when I thought things couldn’t go more smoothly, it actually did. Pete was able to make the transition process as simple as could be. He was able to transition the solar system from my mother’s name to the new found owners of her home, leaving me stress free. If everyone at SolarMax is as awesome as Pete and the crew we were introduced to, I highly recommend working with SolarMax Technology, Inc.! Marilyn Wanderscheid ((Mom) James Wanderscheid

Pete Herrera Rose Dobbs 11:01 AM (7 minutes ago) to SOLAR To whom it may concern: Your employee Mr. Pete Herrera has been a very conscientious and excellent representative for Solar Max. From the moment that he met with us to explain your company and what we could expect it has been very rewarding for my wife and I. We are both extremely pleased with the results. Mr. Pete Herrera answered all our questions and concerns, carefully walking us through what would take place step-by-step. He continued to follow through with periodic phone calls and visits to be sure everything was running according to what he had planned for us. Pete was sure to coordinate times that would work for us and for his workers that would coincide with our various schedules. He would stop by on many occasions to review and go over the plans for the solar panels where they would be placed on our roof. We also had thermal panels for our pool that needed to be moved and he took all that into consideration and worked out yet another placement for them and the solar panels from the original plans. Mr. Herrera made sure to find someone to move the thermal panels prior to the solar panels being installed. Mr. Herrera never missed a beat in the whole process of having are solar panels installed. Mr. Herrera found an excellent worker named Jason to come over and move our thermal panels for our pool to the back roof of our home. Jason did a phenomenal job and worked extremely hard to complete this moving process in a reasonable amount of time in very, very hot weather. Once again my wife and I want to express to Solar Mac how pleased we have been with this whole process since it began with that first visit from Mr. Pete Herrera, we couldn't be more satisfied. Pete Herrera, Jason, and all of the other installers that came over worked efficiently and thoroughly under extremely hot weather to get this job done. We are so very grateful for each and every employee of Solar Max that made all this possible for my wife and I. We certainly will highly recommend your company to our friends and neighbors because of the high standard of work demonstrated by Mr. Pete Herrera and all of the men he made sure were there to do the job and to do it right.

Many regrets

We signed up with Solar Max 2 years ago. The panels work fine and the process was easy and the customer service seemed good. We did notice that nails, bolts and screws were driven through the roof and into our living room and dining room ceiling, however, right underneath the panels. We were informed that this would be fixed. AS soon as the rain came, we noticed 8-9 leaking areas, all underneath the panels. SolarMax did come out and to repair them and managed to fix 6 of them. Three leaky areas remained and they came out again to repair them and two more were fixed. The worst leak in our bedroom soaks the entire wall with water and made the ceiling swell. Solar Max came out a third time to repair this and it is still not fixed. Fortunately we are in a drought and it rarely rains here, but we do now have a tarp from Home Depot on our room covering this area, which works, but it's so tacky. The bolts, nails and screws are still visible in our ceiling and people and have yet to be fixed. SolarMax has stopped responding to my requests to have this fixed. Feel free to message me if you would like photos or more information. I would not do business with this company again.

Another happy customer

A friend of ours researched several solar companies and decided that SolarMax was the best choice. They have been very happy with their choice and highly recommended that we go the same way. Our SolarMax representative, Brandon Mezzanatto helped us throughout the process and we couldn't of been happier with him and his professional expertise. Beverly and Michael Phillips

Excellent Job

I had contacted with a contractor, Jerry Hong, who is a resiponsible man. He prepared all the paperwork for me and give me a fair estimated price and proposal. I would highly recommend him for my friends who want to have solar power system.

SolarMax is Great!

Our choice to go solar was based on the appointment we had with Representative Brandon Mezzanatto. Brandon was very professional and honest. He took the time and patience to explain all of the advantages and details of the system. He made our decision easy. We still contact him with occasional questions and he is always available! SolarMax is well Represented and the system has saved us lots!!!

Great - exactly as promised

Given this is a pretty large purchase I spent considerable time learning about solar energy, the utilities, costs and the related pieces of information required for an informed decision. I worked with SolarMax and SolarCity. The contrast between the two companies were striking. SolarCity was hard sell, sign now, keep things mysterious and even try to frighten me into signing with them. After I had told them I was going with SolarMax their regional VP even sent me a flaming email warning me how I was making a terrible and tragic decision that I would essentially regret forever. It was choke full of misinformation unlike anything I had ever seen. I called him out on it and shared the email with SolarMax as it was absolutely inconsistent with good faith business practices. In any case SolarMax was spot on with everything they promised and said. The communication throughout the sales process was first class. My guy, Brandon, was incredibly responsive and informed. The SolarCity sales rep constantly needed to get information from the main office. The SolarCity rep worked around my work hours to give me the time face to face I needed. He worked hard to give me all the information about solar, the panels, the regulations, etc. I appreciated the transparency very much. Additionally, SolarMax was able to get me 10% more power (could have given me more but the cost didn't justify it - SolarCity was 'locked into' particular panels that had weaker power generation) at 20% less cost. Installation took two days exactly as promised. Installation was clean and seamless and from what I could tell all equipment is top quality. Now the system has been running for 6 months and power generation is spot on what was promised (ie it's a bit higher than what was guaranteed). I'm thrilled with the system and everything about SolarMax. Last comment - post sales service: I made changes to my WiFi system last week and it knocked off my solar link. SolarMax's service was spot on with the exact right information to let me get back online within minutes. They made it easy. As you can tell I fully recommend SolarMax and I hope you have the same positive experience that I did.

Solar Installation

We are now up and running on solar from SolarMax with SunRun panels!! We spoke with several other companies and we are so glad we chose SolarMax. We are so happy to finally be GREEN! Our Sales Agent, Brandon Mezzanatto, is amazing and extremely knowledgeable. He stayed in touch with us through the entire process, answering every question immediately and completely. He helped us understand that going solar is not an overnight process. There are many steps along the way that involve the electric company, the installers, the inspectors, the panel manufacturer, etc. If you want to drastically lower your electrical cost by this summer, I strongly urge you to start your process now. It is well worth it. I highly recommend SolarMax and especially Brandon.

GOT MY PANELS!!!!

What a simple and easy process. My agent, Dan Cooley, answered all my questions and updated me throughout the entire process and installation. The installation was quick and clean. They even painted the conduit and panel to match the paint of my home. I have also recommended SolarMax to my friends and family. Even my neighbors want in on this now that they saw how my process went. Thanks SolarMax.

save energy

Q.PRO-G3 250-265 solar module with SUNNY BOY 5000TL-US inverter is what I have for one month. There is substantial difference reflected on electricity bill from $90.00 to $17.00 for the month of May. I expect more saving when we get into our hot summer at southern California. Ask for monitoring interface RS485 as part of the inverter system to monitor the net generation record/efficiency.

Excellent Experience

From our initial meeting to completion, we are happy to recommend SolarMax to others. It is a process so you'll need to be realistic and understanding with the time frames as there are many necessary steps. That said, we love our solar and are happily producing often more than we consume. We researched many solar options before choosing SolarMax and know that we made an informed (and the correct) decision. Thank you SolarMax Tech!

I am completely satisfied

If you are still shopping for Solar Panel system to offset your high electric bills, in addition to those nationwide companies you have heard of on radio and TV's, make sure you add SolarMax to your list - and place it among the top. My system has been installed by SolarMax, and I am completely satisfied - especially with the customer service provided by Garrett Kramer. As per common procedures, I signed the purchase agreement, roof & shade analysis conducted, e-signed the layout approval (11 panels facing West and 11 panels facing East - all connected to SolarEdge string inverter), and the system was installed. After tracking production for a period of time, I was somewhat unsatisfied with the production of the panels on the East roof due to shading in the morning from the mountains in the East (those big mountains by Lake Perris). I voiced my concern to Garrett, explained the situation, and requested for the East panels to be moved to my South roof and West roof. Moving all panels would be too big of a job, and Garrett did not recommend that. After some discussions at SolarMax office in Riverside, we came up to a compromised solution. And that was to, instead of moving all of the East panels, three were to be moved from the East to the South roof. Garrett would throw in an extra panel along with an Enphase's Envoy device, and my part was to provide Enphase micro inverters for those panels (due to some restrictions on SolarEdge inverter, the South panels couldn't be added to SolarEdge inverter without compromising overall production). After a few visits by SolarMax crew, the job was completed successfully, and I am now getting the production that I am satisfied with. More than satisfaction of the production from the panels, I am superbly satisfied with superior customer service provided by SolarMax Technology. I totally understand that Garrett didn't have the obligation to fulfill my request because I was the one who signed the consent/approval for the original layout. Garrett, however, did fulfill my plea - along with many follow-up phone calls to make sure I am completely happy, and that simply showed his excellence in Customer Service. I am pleased with Garrett, his team, and with SolarMax as a whole. I am happy for SolarMax for having Garrett in the team, and the Customer Service part that Garrett and his team excel in - will definitely get a lot of business and referrals coming your way. For all the people that I know who are interested in adding Solar Panel System on their roof, especially those who live in SoCal region, I will make sure they strongly consider SolarMax as their top choice

Satisfaction

SolarMax completed my installation several months ago and we are happy with the results. The installation was completed on time,including my panel upgrade. The person who did the panel upgrade also did a good job matching the existing stucco and paint. The system is working as it should, and no longer have an Edison bill. We did our taxes and got the tax credit and applied it to the loan, no issues there either. Pete Herrera was our rep and he was easy to talk to, professional, and did everything he said he would. I would recommend SolarMax if you are looking to install solar. Thanks

I highly Recommend SolarMax Technology

I had been looking at Solar for some time ,I had got estimates from other places and then my friend gave me a SolarMax business card and I called Marvin Jimenez from SolarMax,when he came out, he explained everything in detail from purchase to lease options. My wife and I looked over the paper work had some Questions ,so we called Marvin with no hesitation he came over and answered all our questions and we signed our purchase for the solar .SolarMax is a Very GOOD Company to Deal with from day one ,they took care of the entire approval process.I have and will continue to refer SolarMax Technology to others.

Satisfied Customer

I am very satisfied with Solar Max. After some mis-communication with calling before arrival to install, no other issues. They are very good in returning phone calls to answer questions, since this is all very new to us. I would recommend my salesman Victor Barbosa anytime.

New home Solar Max system.

Recently we purchased a new solar system from Solar Max. they were professional and timely during the entire process. Everything went as planned as explained by their sales person. We would and have, highly recommend Solar Max to anyone interested in purchasing a solar system.

Very professional. Excellent customer service.

From the seller (Ralph) to the installation process, everything was great. The system is up and running. The installation was a little bit messy on my back yard but at the end it was worth it. Great post installation service.

Best Thing For My House!!

To start off with, the sales part was very good and easy to understand. Looking at what I used from the last year and what my opportunities are for the up coming years was great. The plans all went together smoothly and I had the system up and running with in a month. I am able to track what is going on with the system and I am very happy with my savings.

Peter De Mel

I was very pleased with mr sales agent Nav Gupta who was very professional and explained the process in detail and all staff caome to installed the system was very professional as well

Stellar Solar Service

First of all if you are thinking about getting solar, then you need to think SolarMax Technology because they Rock! It started with our salesman Dan “the Solar Man” Cooley. Dan walked us through the entire process from beginning to end. He explained everything in layman’s terms and made us understand everything so we could made an educated decision on our solar purchase. We had already done extensive research on solar but Dan made us understand how it all comes together and lines up with Southern California Edison for a flawless installation and connection. Both SolarMax and Dan have been great to work with and have been on top of the whole process from the very beginning! We really cannot say enough about Dan. He is not one of those high pressure salesman. He knows the product and the process and lets it sell itself. He was able to answer every question we had and always kept us informed of the status of our job. He was professional but more importantly he was personable and knowledgeable. So, if you want the best, call Dan “the Solar Man” Cooley at SolarMax Technology! You will not be sorry. The installation crew was professional and very friendly. They took the time to explain everything they were doing to us. There was no loud music and we barely knew they were at our home. When the job was complete, you would never have known they had been there except for the exceptional solar system on our roof! They left no evidence of work being done, nothing to clean up and no damage to our property. The entire crew was professional but friendly. They were a class act installation crew. We were very excited about getting solar and they made the whole process even more enjoyable. Overall, you cannot go wrong choosing SolarMax Technology for your solar purchase. They deliver a great product at a great price and they provide excellent customer care and service. It will be a win-win situation for you. Wayne & Sandy

Great company we have solar panel installed and it save us money we don't have to worry our electrical company raise the price their sevice is excellent I would highly recommend them

Great product and Solar instalation

After looking at a series of solar companies I wisely made the decision to go with SolarMax as my vendor as I felt their design and installation planning were much more detailed and thought out than some of the other vendors. My install went fast and painless which included a new 200 amp service panel as even before the solar installation I was woefully undersized for my property and pool equipment needs. The installers we all very friendly knowledgably and professional and at every phase of the planning and installation I was kept up to date with the progress and timelines and as a hands on kind of guy I was able to ask the installation teams questions to ensure my understanding of the systems and processes. From the no pressure sales process with my salesman Chris Handzel to the final call to tell me I received the notification from SCE to go live I have honestly felt like a valued customer and look forward to working with and recommending them going forward. As for the system I purchased I have been ecstatic to watch my power generation quickly eat away at the power I had used earlier in the month and where my SCE bill was $280 last month I anticipate to zero as I am quickly moving toward over generated KWH for the month. Thank you SolarMax for your knowledge and support, Mike Greene

SolarMax is the only solar company to use.

I shopped and compared many other solar providers for over one year. When it came down to the last two solar companies, SolarMax earned my business. Andrea is the best no pressure, no gimmick, no hard sales approach; just the pure plain simple truth. I can’t say enough good about the whole experience. Everyone has been very responsive and professional. When it came time for installation the SolarMax crew was right on time and very clear on what was going to take place. As far as stucco repair goes we all know that it is almost impossible to match the existing stucco. Not for these guys. Their stucco crew, again, was top notch, very professional from the start to the end and matched the existing stucco perfectly. I was concerned about the stucco matching, so if you are please be assured they will make it match. I can’t say enough good about this company. They stand behind what they say 100%. Thank you again to the whole SolarMax team.
