Very happy with CertaSun and SunPower

After extensive research and a few sales presentations, we selected CertaSun to install our solar system. Their use of industry leading panels and hardware from SunPower was a factor in our choice. Perhaps more importantly, CertaSun believes that exposed conduit is ugly and I AGREE!! Whenever feasible, conduit should be hidden from view. Much can be run in the attic space eliminating any ON the roof. In my home, I have a hollow chase creating an architectural boxout in the dining room which aligned with my electric meter. I was able to run a conduit from the attic to basement within that chase, this eliminated the visible exposure of the vertical conduit from solar panels to exterior mounted meter box. CertaSun poked a pipe from this basement junction box directly outside to their equipment mounted next to the electric meter. While I installed this hidden conduit for their use, I am sure that Certasun could install pipe hidden in this manner (given a similar situation in your house) and it would rightfully be an added charge, but IMO well worth the ask. The sales and installation process was great. There were some slight delays in some communication. However, it was not TOO delayed and I chalked it up to a busy office in a busy industry in the busy season. And frankly, I want my chosen vendors to be busy. Overall, I was VERY happy with our choice of CertaSun and I suspect you will be as well!
