Featured Reviews for Solar Panel Installation Companies Near Me

Solar Optimum
Solar Panel Installation Companies Near Me
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 24, 2017
“Work was neat and professional. Top notch panels, and equipment. Job took a while, but this was not Solar Opitum's fault. Lots of rain delays, waiting on permits, inspections, and waiting on the utility company. Company was recommended to me by the Electrical Section of Building and Safety where I work. Appears to have been a good choice.”
Sailfish Solar
Solar Panel Installation Companies Near Me
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 29, 2022
“Sailfish Solar walked us through the entire process of installing solar onto our home. They explained the benefits and any issues our property presented. Once our decision was made to move forward, the Sailfish Solar team stayed in communications throughout each step of the process. Installation was less than a normal days work. I worked from home and had no interruptions to my business. We are thrilled with the quality of work provided and are enjoying being closer to energy independence.”
NOVA WEST SOLAR
Solar Panel Installation Companies Near Me
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 9, 2013
“We had solar panels installed last summer after having a few consultations with different solar companies. It has made such a huge difference in our PG&E bill. It was worth every penny. The staff were very knowledgeable and were very prompt about answering any questions or concerns that we had. The staff were very respectful while doing the installation, explaining every step of the process and letting us know when they would be starting and ending each day. It was a very enjoyable to do business with Nova West Solar.”
