Venco Green Energy Construction
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 April 2017
“I hired Venco for a couple of major projects the latest was a new roof on a two story Dutch colonial with a 10/12 pitch it came out excellent completed on time, passed inspection the first time and he even threw in some extras, if it had not been for venco I would not have made it through the 2016 winter. The other project was a 1600sqft addition it came out perfect we made a lot of $$$ when we sold if you want your projects done right on time under budget get a hold of this guy he stays busy but worth the wait”
Solar Electric Pros
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 January 2017
“I hired Solar Pros to install a Solar system on my mothers house last year. They were very professional and the job was completed on the date they said it would be. It is hard to find a company that keeps there word. Solar Pros did just that. Everything they said would be done was done exactly like I was told. I will use Solar Pros again and would diffidently recommend Solar Pros.”
Mr. Sunshine Solar
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 March 2021
“Going Solar was a big decision for our family. We did a lot of research and ultimately found Mr. Sunshine Solar to be the most educated. They were very patient and did not try to push us or use endless sales pitches to get us to buy from their company. They were always available for questions throughout the process. They handled all of the paperwork and permits and made sure we understood how the steps worked. They built the right package for us. They did not try to oversell us or get us to choose something unreasonable and trendy but they worked to create a system perfect for our home and needs. The crew was very polite and everyone was very dependable. I highly recommend Mr. Sunshine Solar.”

“From start to finish it was a great experience. I dealt with Tristan and he explained everything to me. The crew came out and were professional in everything they did. When they were done they made sure it was all cleaned up and ask me if there were any questions. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.”
I LOVE MY SOLAR
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2019
“Mark is very professional and responded almost immediately. He surveyed the property and made a suggestion. He even recommended a smaller system that we had planned. Once the price and proposal was provided, it was just a simple schedule date and install. He took care of all permits and inspections. This was great! Thanks to “I Love My Solar.””
Solar Harmonics, Inc.
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 March 2020
“Solar Harmonics did an excellent job putting panels on the roof of Clars Auction Gallery in Oakland. They gave us the best quote. After PG&E suggested we first switch to led lightning, which reduced our power needs by 40%, they didn't complain when we reduced the scope by 40% The installation was quick. The salesman, Griff Adams, did good follow up through out the project. They can monitor remotely in case some panels aren't working. I'd highly recommend them.”
American Array Solar & Roofing
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 April 2020
“I’m glad i went through with American Array. They are very professional and answer any questions you might have. I was pretty unfamiliar with how solar worked at first but the gentleman who explained everything was very kind and made the process going forward super simple. Everyone involved was great and i would recommend them to anyone looking to get solar.”
Illuminate Solar Company
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 January 2020
“We used Illuminate Solar to install a decent sized (11.5kW) system. Mark and his team were great, and I would recommend them without hesitation. They were honest, timely, and clean. We bid out to 6 different installers and they were tied for the lowest cost. Unlike Tesla who has set panels they use in set increments (4, 8, or 12 kw systems and only 320w panels), Illuminate worked with us to get exact right size system and panels to maximize our roof area and needs. They also worked to get the installation done quickly to qualify for tax deduction. Highly recommend.”
VELOCITY SOLAR POWER INC

“Highly Recommend Velocity Solar! Quality ownership and incredible equipment that is built to perform and also to last long term. 9.6 out of 10.”
The Solar Bros
Solar Power Contractors in Thornton, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 February 2018
“The Solar Bros are the best company! I found them online through the BBB and they seemed to have a great rating. I had gotten my fair share of quotes for Solar but figured I would give it one last chance. I called them last month. They were able to set an appointment within 2 days, which was very quick! Darin showed up on time and had a packet with all our savings, panel layout, and everything I needed to feel comfortable about making a decision. They work with a bunch of programs to get solar. Being retired with no income and not paying taxes, Darin showed me a program that didn't require any credit, requirement, income verification, or down payment. I can't claim the tax credit because I am retired but I still ended up saving 40% a month on my bill. The install was fast and the best part is I don't have any bill with PG&E!!!! If you are looking for solar go with THE SOLAR BROS!”

Installing solar panels on the roof of your Thornton, 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 Thornton, 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 Thornton, 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 a Thornton, CA solar panel company or installer on Houzz.
