NRG UPGRADE
Solar Power Contractors in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 May 2018
“I recommend NRG Upgrade as I had a great experience with them. I thought of going solar for a while but I was hesitant until a friend who has done it, convinced me. I reached out to them and got a full estimate, they made sure to explain every thing and show me what I will be getting. The installers were really nice and professional, the work was clean and quick and their manager was super attentive. I really felt like I was in good hands. I am very happy with the results and even happier to know that I chose the better and cleaner way of living. Highly recommend.”

SOLAR PRICE DISCOVERY Inc.
Solar Power Contractors in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 May 2017
“These guys are awesome!!! Not only are they super professional, they are honest, kind, and patient. I got quotes from 5 other companies and at the end decided to go with Solar Price Discovery. They gave me the best vibe and we're the most detail oriented in explaining to me my costs and returns and the entire process. Living in socal, my electrical bills were through the roof (no pun intended) but now with solar I am paying pennies every month. They showed me why purchasing solar is a much better idea than leasing it (as such with most companies) and were there to help me through the financing process and taxes write offs. I had no idea that when you lease the solar panels there is no write offs! All in all, I couldn't recommend these guys enough. It is one of my rarest positive experiences with a service provider, let alone a contractor. Thank you thank you thank you!”
WV Sunshine Solar Electric
Solar Power Contractors in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 December 2017
“I've been interested in installing solar panels ever since my aunt had it done on her house. She had them installed by WV. My house is much smaller than hers, but WV Solar were more than happy to accommodate that. All in all, the project took a few weeks. Zero complaints, tbh. Very true to their words and they did an excellent job.”
Brighten Solar Co.
Solar Power Contractors in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 February 2017
“I'm not necessarily a tree hugger but the math has really started to work in favor of rooftop solar and electric vehicles, so I made the jump into both before the end of the tax year. I got proposals from four local solar installers for our house. Most of them were some sales dog-and-pony shows with pretty pictures showing you that installing your system will take 1.2 cars off the road for 25 years, but glossing over the hard facts you really should know before plunking down cash on PV install. I'm an engineer and like to nerd out on price per kilowatt installed, kWh per year, breakeven time, and return on investment, among other things. I had a TON of questions and back and forth with every company for close to a month. I also did a lot of research on forums such as Solar Panel Talk. I went with Brighten Solar for these reason: 1) Price. Brighten had the best proposal in dollars per kilowatt. I normally wouldn't just go with the lowest bid without everything else looking good, which is why the points below are important too. 2) Communication. Jeremy was very easy to get hold of over phone, text or email. He also answered all of my questions fully and without bother. Don't let his French accent throw you off at first! 3) Knowledge. Since Jeremy is an engineer he was able to answer in technical terms instead of sales talk. He warned against a few things other installers wanted to do, like installing in a location that would have shadows during part of the year. He also was one of the only installers to find a way to use our existing 100A panel without a costly upgrade to a new panel. 4) Materials. Brighten proposed top of the line LG panels with Enphase microinverters, whereas other proposals were going with cheaper panels and inverters. 5) Craftsmanship. I spoke to three of the referrals Brighten listed, and looked at some photos and the installs were fairly clean. I made it known I wanted a clean install because I've seen some fugly installs. Sure enough it was a clean install with very little conduit. We had our system permitted, installed, signed off by SCE, and fully producing power in less than 4 weeks. Our first two months have over-produced what was forecast. Even in the middle of winter our bill is 1/3 of what it was and we plan to over-produce in summer, so we should have a zero sum year by the times it's over. I was really happy with, and would fully recommend Brighten to anyone considering rooftop solar. It totally makes financial and environmental sense,.”

Installing solar panels on the roof of your El Rio, CA 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 El Rio, CA 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 El Rio, CA 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 an El Rio, CA solar panel company or installer on Houzz.
