made solar plus battery simple despite PGE complications!

Simply Solar offered me the best value for my money from over 10 firms I got bids from and got my solar panels and battery on to my single-family home in less than two days flat. They also came up with a creative solution to solve a challenge posed by my legacy 2005 main panel whose upward-opening door was only 1" away from the PG&E meter when fully opened. PG&E just imposed a new rule that it wants a 3" distance, which could have been a problem. I have no idea how Simply Solar pulled this off, but they got PG&E to agree to timely install the gateway between the solar battery and my main panel to ensure the city inspectors would sign off on the implementation despite my main panel being close to the meter, and it worked. David Frank, the account executive, did a great job of making efficient use of my time when we were discussing what size system to install. He listened attentively and actively and answered my many detailed questions. He has many years of experience and an encyclopedic knowledge of home solar installations. I chose Simply Solar over all the other firms I got bids from because they (1) have a large number of online Yelp and Better Business Reviews, and (2) their average review rating is extremely high, and (3) they offered me the best value for my money out of all the firms I got bids from. When it came time for installation, Simply Solar did not disappoint. Andrew and his team showed up on time and got the solar panels on the roof and the batteries on the wall in less than two days flat and left the worksite spotless. Andrew showed up again on the day the city inspectors came by to inspect the system. Once we had permission from them to turn the system on, he took me through installing the app on my phone and made sure I knew how to use it to monitor the system's performance. I've now enjoyed three days with 99% of my home's power generated by the solar system and am looking forward to decades of saving money. Wish I'd done this decades ago! The best time to install a solar system is 20 years ago. The second best time is now. I would use Simply Solar to install a solar system on my home again in a heartbeat and give them my highest recommendation for knowledgeable staff, high-touch responsive service in person, by phone, by email, and by text, setting expectations accurately, and executing as promised. Because I want everyone else to put solar systems on their home to reduce the severity of climate change, I created a deck explaining how and why I chose the system size and components that I did and why I chose Simply Solar over the competition. You can read the deck at https://bit.ly/GoSolar2025 . I also chose to give in-person seminars in my community and and a Zoom seminar online. You can watch the YouTube recording of the online seminar at https://youtu.be/g1rR6LynENI . Go solar right away and make Simply Solar your choice to do it!
