Featured Reviews for Solar Power Contractors in California

EnergyPal Solar
Solar Power Contractors in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 July 2021
“We had a great experience using EnergyPal! They did a thorough analysis of our building in order to understand the optimal placement of the solar panels, then gave us several pricing options, outlining the pros/cons of each. Once we decided on the solar provider, they then helped us work out the logistics in order to get the job completed. In the end we're super happy with our solar panels, and feel we had all the information from EnergyPal to make the best decision.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 February 2021
“Very pleased with every aspect of our relationship with Orange County Solar from start to finish. Their customer service is top notch and something we don't find often in this day and age. The quality of workmanship from installation to site cleanup was high. The people who worked on the project onsite were professional, thoughtful and communicative. While on-site they were efficient and effective. The office staff were responsive and provided quality answers and information. Top Notch!”
Green Home Systems
Solar Power Contractors in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 March 2023
“We were recommended by our friends to check out Green Home Systems, who installed their solar system with them. From the moment we reached out till the installed Panasonic panels it took less than a month! The crew is super knowledgeable and friendly. Our project manager Cat informed us along the way about next steps and developments. The installer was super fast, respectful and clean. After being explained over a Zoom call about the system and the whole process, we received plans tailor for our house, signed the contract and got the solar system installed within a day. Now we are waiting for the city permits to operate the system. Super exiting!!! We are very grateful for the wonderful job GHS did for us. We would refer our family and friends going with this company. We will save a lot of money, especially considering the rising utility rates and we will reduce our carbon footprint as well!”
Sunshine Solar
Solar Power Contractors in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 May 2017
“After hearing a lot about solar systems and how they can lower the utilities bills, I start to search and see what I can get in regards to discounts and how much will it cost to implement. I contacted several companies and I started to meet with them and to see what they have to offer. One of the companies that I met and talked to was Sunshine Solar. My researched about them revealed that they are reliable, honest and they do finish any job they are taking. My meeting with Netanel was very good and I learned a lot from him about solar panels and systems. Netanel explained to me what can he do and what it will require in order to install. The solar system that he recommended me came with a good promotion from the state and the bills should come down a lot. The work that he did took close to a month due to all the back work that needed to be done prior. My system is fully working now and I’m very pleased with the work that they did. Netanel is a great communicator person that made sure to inform me about any stage that he completed during the work. His office staff are great too and they always returned my calls within a normal time after I left a message or an email.”

SolReliable
Solar Power Contractors in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2017
“I am a big believer that solar energy is the future. I spend an average of 200 bucks a month on my electricity in the winter, and during the summer somewhere around 500. i am not a wealthy man so my main focus was to save money on my bill. I met with a gentleman by the name of Allen. He was incredible. He explained everything in full detail and was extremely patient . If i had any questions what so ever he was right on top of it. The whole staff was extremely helpful in making it an easy transition. I purchased my system and everything was installed in september. since that time my bill isn't more than $5 a month. If you are trying to help save some money on your electric bill which is never going away. I recommend dealing with Sol Reliable. Unlike the rest of the crooks in this town, they are honest and gave me the best product in the market for the lowest price! Did i mention that it's beneficial in the environment?”
Green Solar Technologies
Solar Power Contractors in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 November 2015
“Thank you Green solar Technologies , it was a pleasure working with this company . i was paying more then a $300 a month with LADWP and i knew that the rates are only going to go up , i contacted Green solar technologies and they where not pushy at all instead of insisting on sending a salesman to my house (i work crazy hours ) they just asked me to fax or email my utility bill , i did that and schedule a phone consultation it was painless ,they explained the deference between a lease and a purchase ,The deference between the panels manufactures and inveretes I did not think there is so much information involved i decided to go with the micro inverter package with micro inverters . i am now paying $20 a month to my utility company it is amazing .”
Forme Solar
Solar Power Contractors in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2020
“After my neighbor installed his solar system and starting raving about it, I thought that I would look into it. After a bit of research, consultations after consultations, and a few quotes I ended up going with Forme Solar Electric. They offered a great price, better than my neighbors! Including the EV car charger for my tesla 3. Once we decided to go with Forme, the process went fairly quickly. I will say it was a bit of a longer process than I thought. There were a few complications that we had to overcome. Dealing with the HOA really extended out the timeframe. My neighbor finished his solar installation in 4 months after he got permission from the HOA, mine only took 4 weeks. It feels nice that I was able to reap the benefits of solar much faster. I'm thrilled with how my system is performing and love checking out the production numbers daily. Was able to save me 3 months on the installation and was cheaper?! Thanks Forme!”

Installing solar panels on the roof of your California home can help you avoid the rising cost of electricity, increase the value of your home, and reduce your carbon footprint. Solar energy is clean and renewable, and government rebates, subsidies and grants encourage homeowners to make the switch. Solar power systems can heat your home, produce electricity and provide hot water so that your home is entirely self sufficient. So whether you want to improve your home’s energy efficiency, save money, or do your bit for the environment, use Houzz to find the best solar power contractor for your needs.

What solar power systems are available?


The two main solar power systems are on-grid and off-grid. On-grid systems – also referred to as grid-tied and utility interactive – are connected to your mains power supply. If your California home produces more energy than it uses, your meter goes down and you generate credits with your energy provider (check your state government for details on any rebates available). On-grid solar panel systems have lower equipment and installation costs, and will save you money through net metering.

An off-grid solar power system uses battery banks to store the electricity you produce. These battery banks store the sun’s energy so you can use electricity at night or on a cloudy day. This system is designed to keep household electricity running for about two or three cloudy days; longer cloudy periods require a backup generator. Off-grid systems are most suited to households that have no access to the utility grid, and are sometimes a cheaper alternative to extending power lines in remote areas.

Hybrid and portable solar power systems are additional options. A hybrid uses two or more renewable energy sources – usually wind and solar, while portable solar systems are used mostly in farming, fishing and camping, and can be set up when there is no access to mains electricity.

What types of solar panels are available?


There are three main types of solar panels that can can generate electricity for your California home: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and hybrid. The basic monocrystalline celled panels are fairly efficient and have outstanding performance in cooler conditions, but are marginally more expensive than polycrystalline, which works better in hotter conditions. Hybrid panels use crystalline cells with a thin layer of film, which attracts more energy. This makes hybrid models the most efficient solar panel installation, but also the most expensive. To talk about which solar panels are best for your home and how much energy they produce, contact a California solar panel company or installer on Houzz.
