We recently had an Enphase solar system installed by United Solar Electric and had a great experience from start to finish. Their team demonstrated expertise across all phases—design, permitting, installation, and securing utility permission to operate. Their pricing was competitive with other quotes we received through EnergySage, and they came highly recommended by a friend. While a few issues arose during installation, they handled everything smoothly and professionally. Special thanks to Ben, who was consistently responsive and dependable throughout the entire process.

self consumption system
United Solar in Castro Valley absolutely nailed my solar project! They were super helpful, especially since I have an existing NEM2 system and a tricky tar and gravel roof—no other company was willing to take it on. Their suggestion to focus on self-consumption was a game-changer, and their Enphase system package was top-notch. There was a small hiccup with the system reading the input and output correctly, but even though their team was super busy over the summer, Anahi, Dre, and Ben carved out time to get my system working perfectly. Big shoutout to them for making it all happen! Highly recommend their expertise and customer service!

We decided to have solar installed at our house recently in the Central Valley, and went with United Solar Electric, given their strong reputation. We could not have been happier with the entire process. From the sales team, to the design team, to the installation group, they were all extremely professional and did a great job at communicating every step of the way. They also did a great job of educating me on how the system worked and what to expect, which was great considering I knew absolutely nothing about solar at the time. The installation of the panel assembly as well as the battery system was done very clean, and the system is working precisely as intended. I would highly recommend this company if you are considering solar!

When deciding to go solar, we first did a bit of research - online, speaking with neighbors, looking at reviews - before reaching out to solar providers for bids. Some got back to us immediately, some never did. Even the better-known providers were less than responsive, initially or going forward. We ultimately went with United Solar Electric. They were: • Responsive • Knowledgeable • Straight forward • Easy to work with • More cost effective with the best products and features Staff and crew were outstanding; Ben Vanni at the beginning and through it all, office staff (Anahi), installation crews (sorry, I don’t remember names), and ultimately Dominique, who followed through to the very end, staying long shifts, answering questions and helping us understand the process every step of the way. Excellent customer service at every turn, not always part of today’s business strategy. The entire process took a few months due to coordination between various entities – installation, permits, city approval, PG & E interaction – but in the end, we are very happy with the outcome. And in just a few days, our PG & E usage is way down. So glad we went with United Solar Electric.

United Solar Electric - Brentwood, CA.
I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible service and expertise provided by United Solar Electric! From the initial consultation to the final installation, every step of the process was seamless and professional. Firstly, the consultation was comprehensive and informative. Ben took the time to understand my energy needs and provided clear explanations of the available solar options, including the benefits and cost savings. They were patient and answered all my questions, ensuring I felt confident in my decision. The installation itself was nothing short of exceptional. The technicians arrived promptly and worked diligently to install the solar panels with precision and care. They demonstrated expertise and attention to detail, ensuring that everything was installed correctly and efficiently. Overall, I am thrilled with my experience with United Solar Electric and would highly recommend them to anyone considering solar installation. Thank you for helping me transition to clean, renewable energy while saving money in the process!

Solar + Batteries + EV Charger + SubPanel Upgrade
We had a more complicated install versus just a simple solar. We also had backup batteries, an EV charger and a subpanel upgrade. Most of the products are made by SolarEdge. United Solar did it all for us and the end result is amazing. The system has not given any problems and the install is very clean and neat. The city gave us such a hard time with the battery install, but United Solar kept working with them to ensure inspection was good. When support is needed, they are there to assist us. Special shout out to Ben, who was always there along the way, happy to help with any part of the project. He's been very supportive and very responsive for all needs we had. Thank you!

Patience, guidance, great execution
We had a few twists and turns on our project. We live in the hills so daylight was limited by trees. Our plan to install on our hillside was derailed by a landslide but this was compensated for by the loss of two big trees. And finally, our roof needed to be replaced. Throughout all of this Ben and the team and United Solar stuck with us, making sure we got our application for Nem 2 in before the deadline, then coordinating with our roofing contractor to get the jacks installed and sealed with the new roof. The installation teams did a great, professional job, and the electrical tie-in is very well labelled and tidy. My two engineering friends were quite impressed. In the ratings, I gave 4 stars versus 5 only because the site survey missed the fact that we have a foam-insulated roof. This ended up costing additional solar and roofing dollars, money well spent on a high quality job.

United solar delivers!
It seemed every Solar company sells you on the idea that seems too good to be true, but going through the entire solar process with Holly, Taide, and Ryan at United Solar, I must admit they delivered on everything they promised. They were professional and extremely easy to work with and kept me up to date on any changes or updates. They were responsive to emails, phone calls, and were exactly on time or early for each scheduled appointment. Their installation team were friendly and took extra precaution not to damage anything and cleaned up after their work was done. The whole process was fast and easy to do, unlike the rest of the construction projects I have had my house. I have and will recommend United Solar to family and friends, and would recommend them to anyone.
