Finding the right solar company can be a very frustrating ordeal. My quest began a little over a year ago. The obvious starting point was with the most recognized company, Solar City.<br />Solar City pushed a high priced, low output system and would not evaluate my property until I signed a contract, saying I could always cancel. “No Way†I proceeded to get recommendations from friends and reviews on the internet. I contacted ten solar companies, but only seven responded. Of the seven, after looking a Google Earth, three companies said that because of the steep slope of my roof and position of my home, solar would not generate enough energy to be feasible . One came out, but would not even go up on the roof. Of the remaining companies, bids and specs were all over the place and answers to questions were evasive. I read many reviews online and the reviews for Altair stood out. My first meeting with Khaled was impressive.<br />Khaled was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He is an electrical engineer and very experienced. He also made sure that I understood all of the aspects of going solar, cost, equipment, installation, permits, HOA approval and what I could expect in energy production and savings. Over the next four months, I had many questions that were always completely answered to my satisfaction. Khaled is truly patience and never once did I feel pressured in any way.<br /><br />The verdict is in.<br />It has been six months since I went online with SDG&E and could not be happier.<br />My system is preforming as expected. I have a 6000SqFt. home that has had bills as high as $600 per month. This amount has been greatly reduced over the winter months to an average of $150 per month. Now as summer is approaching and days are lengthening, I am receiving credits to my account. Last month I received a credit of $167. <br />There is no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision to go with Khaled and Altair.<br /><br />A.J.<br />Laguna Niguel, CA
