If you are looking for Solar/Electrical in Northern California you should definitely give Tim Weeks a call. He knows what he is doing and he is very good at it. I always trust Tim with all of my electrical projects because he is an expert and he actually cares about making sure that I am happy with the finished product. The other companies that bid my solar system tried to give me what they wanted but Tim gave me options and let me choose what panels I wanted on my roof. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. If you are thinking about getting a solar system or doing any electrical work give Tim a call , you wont regret it!!!

Shemp Howard ..

I wanted to get solar for my house and I got quotes from all the ""big boys"" - the top sellers in our 3 county area. Then a friend of mine recommended Tim Weeks, owner of Cam Electric. My friend lives down Salmon Falls Road in El Dorado Hills, in a secluded gated community where there are a bunch recently built mini-mansions right on the lakefront. It turns out that Cam Electric did the solar for almost all these homes.

When I got apples for apples quotes, Cam Electric came in over a third lower than my next lowest quote. When I showed the next lowest bidder (I won't say their name, but they are very reputable and they also did my pool water solar heating system) the quote for the exact same system, they were shocked. They didn't specifically know about Cam Electric, but they tried everything they could to scare me out of going with them.

They said that for this price, Cam Electric would just shove the solar panel ground mount poles into the dirt instead of into concrete. This wasn't true. Tim put everything in concrete pillars in my 40 panel ground mount system.

They said that Cam Electric was probably just ""a guy and his truck"", and do I want to make a long term investment with ""a guy and his truck""? Well, this is a family owned business and I cannot even start to explain how much heart and soul Tim and his son put into giving me not only incredible pricing, but also an incredible customer service experience. Here are just a few examples

* They came out many times during many times of the day to see exactly where shadows go on my 5 acre property. We looked at every surrounding tree and where they cast shade, and also all the structures (my house and 2 sheds). He even made recommendations on which trees to trim and which ones not to. He ended up finally finding THE perfect spot where not a single tree needed to be trimmed. By the way, Tim charges less for ground mount than roof mount - all the competition charged more for ground mount, not sure why.

* There was never a time where I called and he didn't answer. We did have some issues with the transmitter box that was to send the panel utilization and production data to an app in my phone. It was nothing related to Cam Electric, it was related to AT&T/Yahoo firewalls and also the transmitter unit itself. Every time I called, he figured out a way to drive 20 miles same day to come look at it, latest the next day. It got to the point where I forced him to take some extra money because he was handling issues that were outside of his scope. He never complained or said anything though.


* I have animals on the property and was worried they would rough up the panels. He put t-posts I had laying around the property into the ground and tied a rope around it, so that they couldn't get to it. I ended up taking that down because they love the summer time shade and don't bother the panels, but Tim did this over and above at his cost.

I also recently had some electrical work done in my house by Cam Electric. I added to the scope once he came out, and he needed to make a 2nd trip the next day, but he didn't charge me for the 2nd house call. And his fees were so reasonable.

I had an electrical problem just this morning and I texted him at 6:30AM. At 7AM he was on the phone with me and walking me through how to fix the issue. It was so easy, but I didn't know how to fix it. He just wants happy customers and doesn't think about dollar signs every time you need something.

I've worked with many contractors, and have always noticed that the day before they have my money and the day after they have my money are two different days. I never get that feeling with Cam Electric. This was some of the best money I've ever spent, and now I have a trusted electrician that I never need to haggle with or worry about post sales service, and I also never need to put such jobs out to bid. I just go to Tim and know he will be fair and reasonable and will be there to help me.

If you need electrical work or ESPECIALLY if you are thinking about solar, I can't recommend Cam Electric and Tim Weeks highly enough.
