I love Solar Max
Dan Cooley came out to survey my home for solar and did a great job configuring a way to get the maximum panels on my roof. He followed the project all the way through from start to finish and everyone on the team was polite and expedient in all that they did. I leased my panels with no money down, cut my electric bill to single and double digits and have a maintenance contract for the life of the lease at no extra cost to me. Thank you Solar Max and Dan Cooley!!

Solar installation
They installed solar panels in my house. First their sales person was straight forward. I didn't have to haggle with them at all. All other providers reduced their price three times during the discussion. They delivered everything they promised all the way. Their team members are knowledgeable and efficient. Their project manager kept me updated about the project status promptly.

Producing More Than I am Using!
I am a natural skeptic and a big pain in the you know what when I am making a purchase. I got 6 bids and chose Solar Max because they have such cheap financing and I did not want to Lease. The installation team was on time every day and did everything they promised. When they found out there was a chance that I might have no power in the house for an entire day, they got a generator to power my refrigerator and they put my family up in a nice hotel. It did take a long time to start the installation after I signed contracts but I was expecting that. Once installation started, it took 3 days (I have large system) and all approvals went smoothly. I opted for the monitoring system so I can watch my power generation but I also go on SDGE website to see how much power I am purchasing each day and so far I haven't had one day where I had to buy power. I am producing more that I need for my house. If you go Solar, give Solarmax Technology a chance. I had a great experience with the sales guy name Bo. He did everything I asked and everything he said he could do so go with Bo.

Beck's Solar Project
Almost completed with our solar project. The panels were just installed. They are installed correctly and it was done professionally. The panels and the flashing look seemless, as if my panels were designed into the roof. During the installation all my concerns were met and the crew (Ethan and Darryl)did a great job. They went well out of their way to accommodate me. They installed the inverter where I wanted (in the garage), asked me about how and where I wanted the conduit to be run. I wanted the conduit to be run down though my basement and they happy obliged even though it was much more work. They also left the job cleaner in a cleaner state then it was in. My sales person (Vic Ramirez) explained all my options and made the process easy. He kept in constant contact with me and was very professional. Every week Vic reported to me on where I was on the project. There were a couple little hiccups in the process but I feel they have been dealt with appropriately. I will refer my friends to this company and especially Vic Remirez my sales person, he acted more like a project manager then anything. I didn't expect him to do much more then help me get signed up for solar.

Sun Power Now
It took a longer time than normal but this was because of the town and their slow permit issue process. Once SolarMax was able to start it went fast and the work was top quality. They responded FAST to all questions and information I needed. I never was left hanging waiting for someone to get back to me. The customer service is the quality you do not find now a day.

Purchase of solar system
I classify myself as a consumer who researches any large purchase item before I decide to buy from a particular business and in this case I spent over two months to research the residential solar panel business. I looked at both the advantages and disadvantages of installing such a system on my home. Several people that I work with had solar panel systems installed in their homes within the past year and I constantly asked them questions regarding the process they went through from their initial sells call, their installation, turning on their system, and after several months of use what they thought about the benefits in reducing their electrical reliance on our area electrical service provider. All of them went on lease plans and each had varying amounts of time from their initial sales call to turning on their system (this varied from three to five months). A couple of my friends even asked me if they could refer me to their sales people who worked for one the nation's most advertised solar panel companies. After finishing my research, I found two companies that I contacted for sales presentations and I went ahead and told my friends to refer my name to their solar company. The first company representative gave my wife and I a very thorough presentation of their services and very competitive pricing in both purchase and lease options. The second company that came to my home was SolarMax represented by Marvin and Jeran. Both of these gentlemen were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about their company and product. They answered all of the questions I had prepared ahead of time in simple layman terms giving me complete answers rather than vague explanations open to assumptions. The most important points from the SolarMax product is this company makes their on panels and not a third-party installer, they offer their own financing if you decide to purchase at very competitive rates when compared to other finance companies or banks. All of the people that we dealt with from Marvin and Jeran, the engineers, the finance personnel, the two crews of installers to the customer service people were some of the most professional, helpful and attentive employees who sought to meeting/answering the needs or questions my wife or myself had. We had our sales presentation on a Sunday evening, officially signed our purchase contract two days later and from approving the engineer's plans for panel installation to completing the install the whole process only took less than 60 days, all we are waiting for now is for the electric company to give their official notification (PTO)to turn our solar panel system switch on (about two weeks or less at the most). This is by far a faster and much smoother process than any of my co-workers who dealt with another company. If you are considering installing a solar panel system to your home, please do your research, ask other people who have systems already and consider contacting the company that I am strongly recommending on this site...SolarMax. If you do decide to contact them, I know you will get the information you need to make your decision, you will be dealing with good and knowledgeable professionals who will always treat you with respect and courtesy because they really understand that you and I are the "customer". They do not in anyway attempt to pressure you into making any decision until you are satisfied and ready to make that decision. I am so pleased with my overall experience with this company and its employees I will gladly speak or email anyone with more detailed information (just contact SolarMax and they have my permission to give out my contact information as a reference source). They may not be the only company out there that can provide the same great service but they are the company I decided to deal with and I am one truly happy and satisfied customer! John Pablo

Excellent Service
We were extremely satisfied with our SolarMax system purchase. After dealing with several other solar companies that took a high-pressure approach, it was refreshing to finally find a no pressure company that had our best interest in mind. Keith Graves, our SolarMax representative, was very personable and helped us weigh the various solar options and determine the best solar solution. We ended up buying our system for less than what other solar companies were quoting for a lease option. SolarMax surpassed our expectations and was far superior in terms of customer service, value, and quality than all of the other solar companies that we previously consulted with. The installation was quick, the system looks great, and we are looking forward to saving thousands as a result. I would highly recommend SolarMax to anyone looking for solar solutions for their energy needs.

Fantastic
Fantastic is an understatement. The SolarMax team has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Always on time, and the workmanship is above reproach. As a city manager I have had the opportunity to watch many contractors over the years and evaluate their workmanship. SolarMax is at the top of my list and I highly recommend them.

solar project in wildomar.
It took a while to get the project installed. So be ready for delays with county and Edison it can take a couple months to get started. Once that cleared they got right after it and install took a matter of days. The work was clean and as described at time of purchase. The system can be monitored online and it is easy to use and actually quite interesting to follow with tips and guides to further save $ on electricity. My rep was Jeff at Solarmax. He was easy to deal with and always available for questions. I was very nervous about this big purchase and was a big help and put me at ease. My first bill has come in and my savings are about $150.00 a month after I pay solar bill and electric bill. I am very pleased and look forward to owning the system and enjoying further savings. Don't wait do it now!!!

SolarMax Technology Installation, Customer service and Support
I was approached by many different solar companies telling me the same thing "they could save me 15% to 30% on my electric bill if I went with their company." I didn't think that it was worth it due to I would have 2 bills a Solar bill and a electric bill. I thought the purpose of solar was to save money!!! Then soon after I was approached by a guy named Bo from SolarMax Technology his presentation was different from all the others, he presented me with an option of replacing my electric company with Solar and reduce my overall cost by 30% over my electric company. Mom always told me if it's too good to be true then it's not true. But after listening to the representative "Bo" and seeing the savings on paper, everything started making sense. I agreed to get the Solar Panels installed and now after running for 30 days on solar, I've generated more electric then I've needed in those 30 days and according to the electric company I have a credit balance and on top of that the solar bill is about $100 cheaper than my last electric bill. Going with SolarMax Technology for my electric needs I believe was one of the best investments I could have ever made. I've enjoyed this organization so much I've order 8 additional panels. Thank you SolarMax Technology

Best experience possible!!
My experience with SolarMax has been wonderful. I checked into several solar companies before deciding to go with SolarMax. The sales representatives with the other companies were really pushing the lease option when what I wanted to do was purchase. Dena Baldwin, the local sales representative, presented all the options to me, responded to all my questions within hours of my e-mails, and was very pro-active in making sure things were progressing as quickly as possible. When Dena found out the electrical panel would have to be replaced, which was not part of her original estimate, she arranged to split the cost! Dena continued to check in with me up through the approval to turn on the system - which happened today! All the planning and installation teams were wonderful - the person who came to inspect the roof and plan the installation site, the folks who installed the support structures, those who installed the solar panels and new electrical panel, Tony who installed the monitoring system and taught me how to review the function of the system, and Adrian who did the stucco repair. All teams arrived when they said they would, met the inspectors as planned, and explained exactly what they would be doing. This was the best possible sales and installation experience I could have hoped for! Wonderful customer service

Do what they say.
From sales rep. (Ralph Funk is extremely user friendly) to installation everyone has performed as promised. SolarMax communication and follow-up has been impressive, a rare commodity among contractors. We researched many (lots of solar companies out there) and interviewed four, very happy with our choice to date. As yet we are not operational until SDG&E gives a green light but given our experience to date we can only praise SolarMax service.

I was skeptical
After reading the reviews I was skeptical about going with SolarMax. We signed up in May with Jeff and the process did take a while. The lag time seemed to be with the city permits and was not SolarMax's fault. Install happened in August which took two days and was explained by the project manager Katrina. The first day was the roof and the second day was the solar. Upon inspection of the system the city inspector mentioned that we had some damaged tiles. We called customer service "Garrett" I believe his name was and they promptly fixed the tiles. Monitoring was installed about three weeks later in which they required use of our internet router. We had a problem three days later with our internet and again they sent a tech out to fix it. Turns out the problem was with AT&T and not SolarMax's equipment. Our system has been on since October again delays with Edison but this was explained by SolarMax. We can see our production everyday through our computer in which my husband is on the site everyday

SUN POWER PANEL INSTALLATION
Installed 12 Sun Power Solar Panels and a Sun Power Inverter to output a max 22 watts in peak sunlight. Performance humming with net meter to Southern California Edison. Family member had been using Solar Panels to start a community named "Solar One" in Arizona since the late 1970s. I bought a newly constructed house in California hoping to have a Solar Power option but had to wait 10 years to get all the player involved. Used WEBEX conferences with Sacramento Energy Commission to follow California process. Used my Boeing Discount with Sun Power to get retired employee discount, State and Federal discount to about 30%. Paid cash for the system and return on investment (ROI) will be approx 10 years when the warranty is at its max. I am grateful for this opportunity to use the Sun Power panels and inverter. It is exciting to be able to have one of four systems in our 255 home community in Moreno Valley, California. The system is part of the energy grid and outputing at max of 22 watts daily. Use online and inverter read to keep track of performance. Thouroughly impressed with the performance and thankful to not have electrical payment. Now looking to access a Thermal Energy System for heating water for residential use.

Excellent....
My husband and I decided to opt for solar panels on our home about a year ago, and we are extremely glad we did! We chose Solar Max because they gave us a very competitive quote and some of our friends had been impressed with the first-rate work they did for them. We live in Nevada, and with the threat of increasing utility prices, we decided to safeguard ourselves and take the plunge. We got the SMX 230 series with the Enphase 215 monitoring system, and most months so far, our electricity bill has been $0. These solar panels are sure to pay for themselves in no time, and we regret nothing. The service and support of Solar Max combined with their excellent product makes us true believers!

We got a solar system installed by Solar Max Technology last year and have enjoyed lower energy bills ever since, and now we’ve also enjoyed their excellent customer service! We had some damage to our panels when a limb came down in a Santa Ana gust, and we called to schedule a repair, and they (I talked to a man named Chris Hansel, I believe) said they could send someone the very next day, which they did. So much faster than we expected, and now the system is already back to full capacity.
