Sunwork Renewable Energy Projects

Knowledgeable project lead, quality install, VERY HAPPY!

Marc Fontana and his team of volunteers did an awesome job and got up our 16-panel system in ONE DAY! Looks beautiful and is generating tons of electricity! Well worth the wait!

Nice people and great price for a small system

SunWork is a nonprofit that specializes in small solar installations. They only accept customers whose electric bills are less than $100/month. They use a combination of volunteer labor and paid employees. I'm very glad that I found out about SunWork. I live in a townhouse and my electric bill is about $30/month. Two of the big solar companies refused to even give me a quote, one because they don't do townhouses and the other because my electric bill is too low. Two other big solar companies gave me quotes that were much higher than SunWork's price. Marc Fontana of SunWork came to my house to give me the quote, and returned later to lead the installation. He was very helpful with answering all of my questions, and made sure that the installation was done properly. He also returned to my house for the inspection, which we passed the first time. The system has been up and running for two weeks, and is working well.

Solar Panel Installation by Sunwork

Marc Fontana is responsible and hardworking. He is a creative problem solver and kept me informed at every step of the process. Highly recommended.

Smooth process, quality work, good people

Smooth process, quality work, good people. All around a very good experience.

Mr

Sunwork did a terrific job with our 10 panel system. They were very thorough and answered every one of our many questions at each step in the process. They were very patient with us. Everything went very smoothly and they followed through on every aspect of the project. We are extremely satisfied with Sunwork and give them the highest possible recommendation.

Highly recommended

Good price, good service, good people. What more do you want ..

Outstanding Solar Install

I couldn't be any more happier with the Solar install at my house. Marc offered intelligent, unbiased advice during the Sales process. Did meticulous implementation. And followed through with the City approval and ensuring that the system was functioning properly by remote monitoring. Would recommend SunWork and Marc anytime. Go green and do good for the environment.

All Systems Go!

Fantastic service, very easy to work with and understand what's involved. We had to work through some structural issues with my roof but there were several options of roof layout that made it easy to change. Marc did a great job managing and working with the volunteers. He's very patient and pays very close attention to detail and never rushes. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Excellant Installation

I talked with multiple companies before for my solar, and am glad I chose Sunwork. The complete process was explained step by step at first, and again whenever I had a question. Marc was the lead who installed my system and he was meticulous in making sure that even the tiny details are covered. The whole process went very smooth. I have the setup up and running for a couple of weeks now.

Excellent, quick installation, great project team

I worked with Sunwork for a 4.1 kW system that was just installed on my home. My electric usage is low enough where it was difficult to see a PV system as money well spent (if considering only the economics of it), but the Sunwork model made it a much better equation. Marc from Sunwork led the installation, and several trained volunteers showed up to help with the installation. I had attended a Sunwork volunteer training session as well, which taught me the basics of installation, and helped me choose a system design that worked best for me. I enjoyed helping with the installation as well and I know a lot more about my PV installation than I did a few days ago. The entire system was installed and hooked up in two days, and the City inspector liked the attention to detail that Marc provided. Sunwork provided a lot of guidance with the City-required PV interconnection agreement and the rebate forms that really facilitated the whole process. I'm very pleased with how this worked, and would highly recommend Sunwork.

They make buying solar simple and affordable

I'm so happy a friend turned me on to Sunwork. I was able to get the best price, quality products, and a VERY professional install. You'll need to qualify for their program as they only work with lower usage customers and those with an electric car.

Great Job!

All work done on time, under budget, cleanly, and neatly. All questions were answered clearly, and I had a lot of them! Service was friendly, cheerful and efficient. I love my system and am already planning on adding more!

Excellent!

SunWork just installed a 4.68 kW system on my roof. Worked with Mike & Matt and the entire process could not have gone any smoother. I think this is a no-brainer way to get PV (solar) installation if you meet their criteria (check their website). Yes, you purchase the system upfront, but the cost is way, way less than what you'd pay with other installers or what you pay lifetime with a lease. Even better, the SunWork team is very professional and very experienced - it showed in their work. The final bill was less than their original quote - imagine that! To top it all, I had the satisfaction of helping with installing my own system and enjoy the beautiful bay and mountain views from the top of my roof!

If you qualify, choosing Sunwork is a no-brainer!

Our site is challenging due to several large trees, and Reuben carefully designed a layout to maximize output while conforming to the new codes for fire access. We added solar shortly after installing a new roof. Sunwork coordinated with our roofer for jack installation without any involvement from us. Matt did a great job managing the installation, and provided proactive follow-up even after we had paid the invoice. Which was 7% *less* than the original quote!

Installation

I am extremely happy with the entire process. Matt at Sunwork was very well organized and managed the project very well. He worked with our roofing company to install the posts and then after the roof was completed, his team installed the panels. He guided me through the paperwork and made it effortless to transition to solar.

Great Installation

Had a great time installing the system with Matt and a few of my friends. If you have some schedule flexibility and like to participate in the process, SunWork is awesome to work with!

Residential PV Installation

Absolutely the best price for a PV system. We had to wait for months to get into their schedule, but when the time came, they got it done efficiently. Their service was great; they coordinated permitting and installation with the electrician.

Our project manager, Matt was great to work with, and did a great job. Would absolutely recommend him to others.

Great experience!

SunWork was far less expensive than the two other quotes we got. Installation was on schedule and on budget. Project manager was friendly and professional. Great experience.

Amazing work and service!

Sunworks installed our solar panels recently and were such a pleasure to work with. They were extremely responsive and timely with all their communication and work. The work was excellent quality!

Satisfied Sunwork customer

They provided great education and friendly, professional, excellent service.

Another great job by Matt@Sunwork!

Matt did a great job planning and installing my roof top PV!

Residential Solar Installation

Overall a great experience, and installed on schedule with good follow up

New roof - new solar

We had a very good experience with Sunwork's installation of solar PV after our old cedar shake roof was replaced. This was the time we wanted to install the PV system so we contacted Sunwork. Matt Thompson came to our home for estimating the size of PV that we needed. He also coordinated with the roofing company so the support posts for the panels were installed during the time the new roof was installed. When Matt came to install the solar PV, I had an opportunity to see how the panels and electrical were installed. Everything went smoothly and quickly, and was completed in one day with the help of a volunteer. I highly recommend Sunwork for their competence, especially working with Matt, and no hassle delivery of solar PV that is economically priced.
