We had such a great experience with our SunWork installation in August. Communication was excellent, the time from initial contact to site visit to quote to workday to inspection was FAST. I participated in the installation, which was a ton of fun. Everyone involved was great. The attention to detail shown by the project lead (Reuben, the founder), was incredible, and I can be very picky. What a great organization, and what a great deal for any family that uses less than $100/month for electricity (the threshold is higher if you have an electric vehicle). Installation costs are 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of going with one of the big installers. Our system is on target to pay for itself in less than 4 years.... read more

While their price was lower, my main reason for choosing Save A Lot Solar was the knowledge displayed by the owner (John Orfali) and his senior electrician, along with their patience in considering several configurations. The new system augments my existing string-inverter system, which has been working well for 10 years, and generating nearly half my total usage. But last year, PG&E terminated their E-7 rate plan, forcing users like me to switch to their less favorable E-6 plan, and my bills for the remaining usage went up some 20%. Since the cost of solar systems has dropped significantly, I opted for a second system from Save A Lot Solar to cover the remaining usage -- plus some more for a future electric vehicle. The new system cost less than half of my first system, it generates about 30% more power while using fewer panels, and has a 7-8 year payback period (vs. 10 years for the older system). The new system has been in use for one month now, and is performing better than predicted. Unlike the older system, the new system uses microinverters, one per panel, which allow on-line monitoring of each panel. Also, the new system can be expanded without having to match panel types and balance string voltage levels. Now that the two systems are generating all my power needs, PG&E can raise their kilowatt-hour rates all they want, and my bills should be limited to connection fees. The installation went smoothly, and the crew was considerate of my neighbors. I recommend Save A Lot Solar.... read more

We got bids from the crooks at SolarCity and the pros at PetersenDean. PD made it easy. Both their salesman and the project manager were nice, helpful, and professional. We offset about 75 percent of our usage and are very pleased.

Clean Solar did a great job on our 18 panel home solar system. They were direct and honest with their proposal and there was no pressure or funny business. When I told them I needed a few months to make a decision, they were fine with it and Bryon, our account manager, checked in regularly and unobtrusively to ask if we had any questions. I did and he answered all of them throughly. I had contacted three other solar vendors, including the big and prominent one, and none was as willing to spend time and talk through my questions as Clean Solar. Clean Solar ended up putting together different five proposals as I changed what I was interested in with no issues. They gave me choices and options and told me the advantages and disadvantages of each. The big company never stayed in touch, when I called them later the contact I had originally had left the company, I was told someone would get back to me and they never did. But in addition, they were inflexible by favoring leasing over buy, and their pricing was not as good as Clean Solar for buying vs leasing. That approach to customer relations continued after we signed the contract. They kept us informed about what would happen and what did happen every step of the way. They let us know that Los Altos inspectors might expect to come into the house to inspect the smoke alarms, and what we needed to do ahead of time to be prepared. They handled the inspections and permits without me having to get involved, as well as working with PGE to get them to sign off. They made sure we approved ahead of time where each piece of the system went, including the proposed location of the inverter. The installation process took two days, and went smoothly. All employees were very professional and customer focused. Bryon followed up after the installation by coming to our house, going over paperwork and maintenance suggestions, as well as reviewing with us the details of how the system worked. Having gotten proposals from many vendors and seeing so many negative reviews in Yelp from others, I highly recommend Clean Solar.... read more

Our solar installation was unique since we have a flat top roof, PVC membrane with rigid foam insulation; meaning that the solar panels could not be directly mounted to our roof in a conventional manner (otherwise our roof would leak with just one penetration). SunStar Energy is the only company that worked with us, did the math, calculated the weight loads and wind resistance and designed a ballast system with no roof penetrations. The installation was meticulous! Truly a work of art. Working with Richard Devlin and SunStar Energy on-site was seamless and very professional. SunStar custom designed a solar system for our roof and our needs and charged us no more than the dime-a-dozen, cookie-cutter solar companies. I highly recommend SunStar!... read more
