CleanTech Home Energy Solutions, stellar references

As a person who retired from 43 plus years in the construction industry I am intimately familiar with the process of vetting potential contractors and reviewing contracts for work on projects that demand quality, reliability and responsiveness. I spent several months of research in preparation for our Solar Energy project which included some very big names and some very old established companies. Of course just because they are old and established does not mean that they have been performing Solar installations for all of the stated years as it is still somewhat of a newer industry which runs contrary to what some of those commercials imply as one will encounter on the television commercials. My research included interviews with folks in my neighborhood with prior Solar Energy installs as well as online research. I always include The Better Business Bureau in my personal research as well as the California State Contractors Licensing Board. I prepared a spreadsheet where I could compare each companies offers, working to get each to an apples-to-apples look as much as possible. I also researched the products that they were proposing, especially the rooftop tile installation mechanisms. But perhaps the most telling and the most critical revelation was when I asked for prior references. That is were CleanTech Home Energy Solutions absolutely blew away everyone else. Nobody else touched the positive feedback and the number of responses I was able to contact and converse with. I was really taken aback by the lack of references to contact especially from that one much older establishment who advertises so much on television. Oh, and CleanTech was the only company of my selections who came to the home to review the site conditions including the current grounding situation prior to completing their proposal. That's a sign of a truly professional company speaking as someone who has visited 100's of sites for site inspections throughout San Diego County during my career. As I noted one of the things I was concerned with was the roof mounting system for our Spanish style concrete tiles. They have it right and it's the same products used by the bigger companies. NO LEAKS, no drilling through tiles. And the work performed by CleanTech Home Energy Systems is flawless and professional in the greatest sense using REC panels and SolarEdge products for my installation. which was my preference. Down the road, if we are still at this home I will be looking to CleanTech Home Energy for the battery backup supply and installation. The SolarEdge unit I had them install in the garage is already "battery ready". It is also EV charger ready if you are ready to go that route. So I hope you have read through the length of this (sorry), but I can't say enough good about CleanTech. They are the way to go. Don't hesitate to vet them and ask for references. I truly think you will want them installing your Solar system as well. And let's not forget that wonderful Federal Tax Credit to be realized.
