Green Solar Technologies

We can unequivocally recommend this company to anyone. (In fact, we already have recommended it to others.) We have looked into solar power before, but we live in a remote area of northern California and after giving our address to other companies, we never heard from them again. Not Green Solar Technologies! From the first phone call through to the end of installation, everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable and professional. They walked us through financing and qualification, explained the process so we completely understood, and were always prompt in returning calls or answering email. The company is located in Los Angeles and we live hundreds of miles away on the California/Oregon border, but they contracted with local solar contractors who were as committed and professional as Green Solar Technologies. We had a couple changes along the way due not to Green Solar but to our local county bureaucracy, who insisted that we move the system because of a county easement and required a new electrical junction box be installed. Green Solar and their subcontractors took care of all the changes at no extra expense, and we are very glad we didn't have to deal with the county building inspectors. Once the plans were approved, the system was up and running in about a week, including all the building inspection and power company inspections. We asked all kinds of questions during the installation and feel that we know everything we need to know, plus we have direct phone numbers to call if we have questions or need help in the future. Installing solar power is a major financial decision but we feel it is one of the best decisions we have made besides the purchase of our home itself. We are glad to get the tax credits and the very low interest loan (these may go away in the future but fortunately they were still available for us), and to know that we are not dependent on the power company or subject to future rate increases, and that we are helping the environment by harnessing the power of the sun to reduce our carbon footprint. Next step: we are waiting for the auto industry to increase the mileage range of their electric car batteries so we can move away from those $50 (or higher) gas tank fill-ups and use our solar panels to charge our car, too. (This may take another year or two but we can see that the industry is working on it.) Thank you, Green Solar Technologies - you made it easy for us!... read more
