Extraordinary Service

In mid Jan 2023... just 3 months before PG&E's NEM 2.0 grandfathered deadline... Solarponics was just 1 of 2 vendors willing to provide a feasibility study for our faculty condo development showing equitable allocation of solar roof space on 3 different building designs with 3-4 units each. This willingness to do so is even more impressive knowing that they would have to contend with 3 entities - Cal Poly Corporation that owns the ground sublease, HOA and external community property manager The Management Trust that didn't have an approval policy/process in place. Other vendors preferred working with homeowners that didn't have these constraints. Solarponics' Todd Burnett provided these studies on the preliminary visits with homeowners. He was also the ONLY sales person that called out the concern re: that “our roofs look tired.” That prompted us to check with our HOA and a roof inspector to find out the remaining useful life of the roofs. We appreciated the honesty up front so we can make an informed decision. Kudos to Todd and the Solarponics team for their EXTRAORDINARY patience with the HOA, The Management Trust and Cal Poly Corporation... which pushed installation timelines by 4-5 months beyond other homeowners. The installation of all 4 condos’ solar panels and inverters were completed over 2 days. The installation and the inspection went really smoothly. I highly recommend Todd and Solarponics team (Jake, JJ, Sal & install crew)!
