My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The Solar Broker
Solar Panel Installation Companies in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 1, 2016
“"After meeting with several companies we realized we had to do something, but were not sure who to trust. We met Michael through a friend and he was able to tell us the pros and cons of each. Once we decided our best fit he was ultimately able to negotiate a better deal then the company offered. We recommend him to anyone considering solar for their home."”

Genesis California
Solar Panel Installation Companies in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 10, 2015
“My wife and I are so happy with our decision to go solar. Genesis helped the process with clear answers for all of our concerns. We didn’t have to look into many companies, when it came to who we were going to use. Genesis had the right price and service from the get go. The quality of the panels are second to none, they look amazing on our roof and add such a great conversation starter with all of our new neighbors. We went over our options of a lease or a purchase, and after lots of questions we decided to purchase. We financed and have had a great experience, including no pre-payment penalties. Our monthly bill is now less each month than our yearly average, which has made solar a better financial decision for us.”
