Knowledgeable, prompt, professional

Chose Solarponics for their reputation in the solar field. My issues were addressed promptly and communication was maintained throughout the process from the ordering of the equipment to the installation.

Pool-solar panel installation.

I was very pleased with the attention to detail and quality of installation that Justin performed with our pool-solar panels. The team was pleasant, organized, and left the area clean each night as well as when they were finished with the installation.

LOCAL! and Thorough, Professional and Knowledgeable

We looked at several solar companies to install a system on our 1400 sq.ft. home in Templeton, CA. Solarponics' costs were competitive. But the selling points were the experience of the folks there and they were an established local company. They did a great job!!!

My second solar array

In 2015, I had Solarponics bid on and install a 5kw system on my home in Santa Maria. As this is the second home I converted to grid tied solar, I had a great deal of experience in the process, prices and equipment we needed to select. Todd, Caleb and Deana took great care of me and made the selection, installation and grid integration process easy.

Residential Solar Install

From start to finish the Solarponics team was patient, proficient, & professional. I was on and off with them for over 2 years until I was ready to pull the trigger. Once, I committed, they got right to work and made the process so smooth. I could not be happier with my system and the way the Solarponics team worked with me and our home. I would not choose any other solar provider no matter what!

Solarponoics in Atascadero CA installed 18 solar roof panels.

We researched solar for about 6 months, getting detailed bids from 5 companies, 3 of which gave bids on site. (We joked that exploring solar was our new full time hobby for the year!) A close neighbor had recommended Solarponics twice to us. The Solarponics representative, Lawler, was very patient with us and met with us in person at least 3 times. He was extremely well versed in all aspects of solar and went into great detail with us each time. He also did everything in his power to meet our budget needs. The second important thing that he did for us was to encourage us to research the PG&E rate plans to figure out other ways (in addition to the solar panels) to bring down our electrical usage and costs. We worked hard at updating a few very old appliances, signing up with a different PG&E plan and changing our electrical usage patterns so that the solar installation could cover most of our usage. (We only wish that we had known about the differences in the PG&E rate plans years ago and that changing a few bad energy habits was easy and not painful!) We have an all electric house (except for propane for our stove cook-top) and I am happy to report that our bills have gone from over $260/month before solar to under $5/month with solar so far. After the installation there were a few glitches in the inside controller and Solarponics quickly sent techs out to our house to take care of the parts that needed replacement. We highly recommend this company!

Solarponics was subcontracted for installation. Your men did an excellent and professional job. They answered my questions.

Professional and Complete

Careful planning and excellent communication done on a timely manner was the hallmark of my experience with Solarponics. I was supplied with complete information prior to my decision to install solar and was kept informed on EVERY step of the process. There were no surprises and my system has worked just as planned. It is a good feeling to know I am running my household using renewable energy.

Go solar with Solarponics

I new what was going on every step of the way. A great company to work with. The schedule they laid out was spot on. They worked around my schedule and were very receptive to my wants and needs. The installation is top notch and one of the cleanest the inspector has seen. Have been on solar now for over a year with no issues and loving it. I highly recommend the purchase option for the tax purposes and long term savings. If I had it to do all over again it would definitely be Solarponics. Before my decision I received estimates and checked reviews for all companies that service the area from Fresno, SLO and beyond. Solarponics was not the cheapest but very competitive and with better materials than most. Thank you Solarponics.

Ground Mounted Residential System

Solarponics was very informative on all aspects and considerations for installing solar electric systems. They were not "hard-sell" at all. They were more concerned with educating us on the details so that we could make an informed decision rather than selling us a solar system. Once we made a decision, the qualification, permitting, installation and post installation testing and follow up went extremely well. Our sales person, who educated us from the beginning, was very involved, and a continuing resource throughout the installation and post-installation process. There was an equipment problem with the SMA SB8000US inverter that was originally installed. I believe it was a new model for that manufacturer which had just come out at the time of our installation. Solarponics immediately replaced it with the SMA SB7000US inverter. We have been trouble-free since then. It is now approaching 2 years. I would highly recommend Solarponics and Lawson S., who was the sales person I referenced above.

Would purchase from Solarponics again in a minute!!

Putting solor on our 2400 sq. ft. home was a "no-brainer" and Solarponics walked me through the whole process. The panels are quality, the installation was quality work and the customer service from a well-known, long time local business was excellent. We got an excellent interest rate on purchasing our system: same cost as our PG&E monthly invoice! No advanced cash needed! yes..... a "no-brainer!" Every home should have solar panels!

Great company

I have been pleased with my solar installation by SolarPonics. They helped me determine how many panels I needed with no pressure, did a flawless installation, and they were substantially cheaper than the other companies I talked to at the time I researched solar.

Panel producing more than expected

We had Solarponics install an array of panels for our home. They were very professional in every way and gave us an estimate of how much electricity it would generate. They were wrong. It's been giving us better performance and has saved us every month from high electric bills.

Local and Honest

We got solar when we lived in San Diego. During that install, from initial proposal, follow up, work on location, final inspection, system activation and attention to a minor follow up issue; they exceeded all expectations. We were just as fortunate here on the central coast with Solarponics. We did research with a few other companies before a friend recommended Solarponics. One proposal was to lease. When we asked if we had the option to buy, and how much, they provided a price that was $10,000 higher than Solarponics. At that point we were convinced that we were making the right decision to select Solarponics. One of the things we liked about Solarponics is that they have been in business since 1975 and the company is still ran by the family that started it. Another plus is that Solarponics has an in house service department for any follow up issue that may occur in years to come. I had a friend who had an installation by a solar company and they had some issues about two years after they had their install and the company told them they do installs only, no maintenance. So when looking for a solar company we made sure to check if they do service calls if something happens 5 years down the road. Solarponics does! I will not hesitate to recommend Solarponics to our family, friends and colleagues. And oh yes! The system is functioning as promised, delivering pollution free energy and it is a wonderful sensation to see my meter spin backwards! :)

Trustworthy

THe bigger solar companies were not local, so that made me nervous. I found Solarponics. They had the same product, if not better, at a competitive price. I know where they are if my solar pool system needs servicing, and it did. I had damaged a small pipe, and they came out to fix the next day. Cool. I guess they recommended a Heliocol product, which is really good. That's why I will hire a contractor, for their experience and advice. Not just because they can swing a hammer.
