Wonderful Service

They were so patient with us. Answered all of our questions in a way we could understand. Did extra research to help us make sure solar made sense for us. Perfect installation. System actually produces slightly more than they said it would.

Rare Gem

There are a lot of solar companies all of a sudden. Solar Plus goes the extra mile, doing everything they can to make the process easy and affordable.<br /><br />My summer bills went from over $400 to under $40, and most of that is gas. They are a throwback company that believes in the golden rule and definitely treat people the right way. <br /><br />This is not your average solar company, they are in it for us as much as themselves

Great local Company

Terry has proven his attention to detail time and time again! He has personally installed my 12kw ground mount, but Solorplus has installed 7 of my close friends systems this past year. You will not get better service and follow-up in town . I was installed from contract to completion 2 weeks.

Beyond the Best!!!!

As the norm we were so nervous about making the switch to solar. Terry and Brandi with SolarPlus made it more than a simple no brainer. They explained everything in detail, gave us plenty of time, made lots of suggestions and even promoted shopping around for a second opinion because they knew we would find them to be the best.

SolarPlus Excels

Brandi and Terry at SolarPlus were so awesome to work with. During our purchase process with our bank, Brandi was so patient with us and went out of her way at times to provide anything our bank was requesting. When it came time to install, they had our 19 panel system up and running in one morning. Their install is clean and organized as they don't run any wires on top of the roof but instead run them through the attic. Other installers in our area, not naming names, run wires on the roof which does not look presentable. You can take a chance and go with a cheaper installer but at the end of the day its all about the after-install customer service and support and that's what SolarPlus excels at. Its comforting to know that if I ever have an issue with my panels, I can contact Brandi or Terry personally instead of a customer service center. I definitely recommend SolarPlus if you want to go Solar!!!

Quality, Expertise

Solar Plus proved to be an excellent company to work with, I am very happy with my solar system. <br />Their pricing is highly competitive. They are very responsive to all my inquiries; before, during and after installation. All promises kept!<br />The level of expertise was impressive on several levels. Their attention to detail remarkable; quality of the installation was excellent (I am very particular). <br />They were easy to work with and their crew left the installation site clean on completion of the work.<br />The array looks very good and is working as promised.<br />Recommend them without reservation.

A Great Job done Extremely Well

Terry and Brandy are just amazing to work with. We shopped around with a number of companies before we decided to go with SolarPlus. 100% no pressure sales to us. They shared a ton of info with us and explained all the pros and cons of different ways to do the install and any followup work if needed. It has now been one year and we have received our PGE True Up billing. During the past year as I had different questions either Terry or Brandy always answered the phone and explained the answer in easy so I could understand the replies. Very clean and neat job start to finish. I would recommend them without a question and have done so. Respectfully submitted, Dennis & Susan

FANTASTIC SOLAR COMPANY

Terry and Brandi Shelton are not only wonderfully honest people but do run a local solar business. After researching many larger companies, hands down I decided that not only was our local company much lower, but much more qualified to install our house system. Terry came into our house and did a full house inspection to in order to make his best recommendations as to our needs. He was spot on and our array is perfect for our needs AND they only use US made panels!!I cannot say enough good things about this company!! I have only true and honest praise for their expertise and concerns. How many companies monitor every system they install to make sure they are working on optimum level. KUDOS to SolarPlus. Thanks Terry and Brandi for being in my neighborhood!!

About SolarPlus


SolarPlus Systems, Inc. started out as Terry Shelton Construction when the CSLB #549059 was issued on 11/19/88 for a General "B" Contractor and a C-10 Electrical License. Terry is a 3rd generation electrician qualified as a master electrician. A move from Ojai to the Fresno area occurred in 1990. He installed his first solar system in 1991 in the Tollhouse area and it ran through at least 2005 when the original owner moved away.

In 2008, he took his Energy Saving Interest farther and took extensive classes in energy efficiency remodeling and obtain his C-20 for HVAC. Due to a back problem, he no longer does this type of work but understanding it helps customers make decisions on solar. He will sometimes recommend an energy efficiency repair to lower the solar needed. No, he is not crazy but an honest man who cares about his customer's wallet.

Now, wife Brandi is the sales person/marketing/office person and his 3 sons are involved to some degree in the business at varied times.

Terry and Brandi love to do perfect installations with non Chinese panels and SolarEdge Technology Inverter Systems. Every night one or the other checks the monitoring system to make sure nothing has happened to those systems. You will see by customer reviews that they are there before, during and after installation for their customers.

SolarPlus Systems offers you a choice of non Chinese manufactured panels and prices. Other things that vary prices are whether the install is on a composition or tile roof or a ground mount. Location also effects costs because of requirements of the permitting building department. For example, if you have a tile roof in City of Fresno, you must have engineering plans. In Fresno County if you are on a flood plain, you must have an engineer mark how high the bottom of the system should be and come back after install to confirm it is at the correct height. We always are ready to answer any question you have.

The very first thing we need to start on your solar system is your usage information. Since just before Christmas in 2016, PG&E has been in Phase 2 of their interconnection, for short called NEM 2. Under NEM 2, the CPUC has granted them the right to make any new solar install be a Time of Use Rate with the PEAK PERIODS being
3-8 PM or 4-9 PM. OUCH, Maybe I will wait you think. BUT the CPUC also has granted them the right to put all residential accounts on Time Of Use in 2019.

So, what we need is you to be registered on the PG&E website, then for you to give us your email which we will send to UTILITY API (this company is registered with PG&E to do this). Then UTILITY API will send you a email asking for your Usage Name and Password from the PG&E website. By doing this you are giving your permission to get your usage. They then obtain your usage from PG&E and send it to us in a form that the sizing program we buy monthly can take it and figure out the size needed to get as close to 0 as possible when one year from your install you get a true up bill from the utility. If you produce more, you only get 3-5 cents credit per kWh which is reason not to overproduce.

Financing is through Pentagon Federal Credit Union (A 6.74% rate if you have 90% LTV or more and lower if you have 85% LTV or more. And you also help military families when you join for $22. A PACE program, a Title I loan or a refinance with money out for solar. (We actually have one that does from 580 Credit Score to try.) We are continually searching for financing venues. Some people use credit unions, others borrow from retirement accounts and pay themselves back.

Don't forget there is a 30% tax credit that will start declining in value in 2020.

Being Christians and having 7 grandchildren in the area who are from 1 to 16 in age, we take Sundays off. But we are available from 10 AM to 8 PM Mondays through Saturdays at 559-999-5715 for text or call and email: tshelton@netptc.net. We will be available on Sundays for emergencies.

SUNNY BLESSINGS TO ALL
Terry, Brandi Shelton & Family < <
