CM Solar Electric

I wanted to install Solar for a long time, but my roof was about 20yrs old and I knew that a new roof had to be factored in. From the start, CM Solar offered both of those services. Having never worked with them, I did my due diligence, and met with 3 other companies. I took the double leap of faith and I'm glad I did.

Quickly found their roofer, Martin was an ace. I also had him also replace all the plywood, the fascia around the roof, and a whole new gutter system. All top notch work, with an extra detail across the ridge line to add some street appeal.

I wanted to increase attic ventilation. Martin added nice looking very low profile vents and the roof > solar co-ordination allowed him to place under the solar panels so you can't even see them. They added a layer of insulation into the roofing material that didn't exist before, and the solar mounts were placed during the roofing process.

The electrical crew was next and did a top commercial quality job on my home. As a contractor, I see these installations all the time, and this one was done really well and not without complications. The main service breaker panel and SDGE entry needed to be updated in my older home. 4 charismatic guys involved and everything was discussed along the way, no surprises.

They did their work quickly without cutting corners or quality. I also had them do a whole house ventilation fan and just time time for the summer heat, which turned out way better than expected.

One speed bump in the job, thrown at us – then retracted by the city inspector, wound up proving to me that Carlos is an honorable person and company owner to do business with. I hope to have them install a hybrid water heater before the tax credit runs out.

On the other hand, can't say how long before the novelty runs out on picking up my phone and seeing how much my plant is producing. But it's also reassuring that the only thing that will be leaking down from the roof will be dollars $$. Giving them 5 stars for this project.... read more
