Sun Solar Electric

The guys at sun solar are awesome. While I was getting quotes for solar panels a company tricked me into signing documents, they said the needed to get me my quote and see if I qualified for the loan for the installation. every time they asked for something for me to sign, I told them I'm not agreeing to getting the panels installed I was just getting quotes. About 2 months after I talked to them, I got a call ""when do you want the installation to begin"". After arguing with them that I never agreed to the installation since i was still getting quotes and not knowing if i wanted solar since I could be moving soon, they told me they had already got engineers involved, opened permits and it would probably cost me $2-$3000 for the work they had done. I told them to send me a copy of their customer satisfaction policy and was absolutely not going to get solar from them. The guys from Sun Solar heard my story and apologized that I had to go through that and told me what I needed to do to close the open permit, or I would not be able to open any other permits if in the future I wanted to get work done to my property. They helped me out without even trying to sell their system. Super honest, knowledgeable, and friendly guys. if I ever do decide to get solar I'm calling them 1st.

Great job from SunSolar. I started looking for a contractor to replace our 15-year-old string inverter system last year. An upgrade was needed due to additional electric cars and other needs. The two national solar brands I contacted initially had a lot of problems with my needs. 1. I needed to remove the old system which the national contractors would not do. 2. My roof is very broken up requiring several smaller units to achieve my needs. The national contractors did not want to deal with the complexity and would not come on-site to do the work needed to design a proper system.. I found out about Sun Solar and got a hold of Sun Solar's Miles Gardea and he came to my house and immediately was able to assess my needs and get started. It was immediately obvious that Miles and Sun Solar were going to be able to provide the customization needed for my house's unique roof lines. I had A LOT of questions for Miles along the way and Miles kept up with me providing me with all of the information I needed to make an informed decision. Once I was comfortable and signed their contract, Sun Solar moved quickly and installed the system. The installers were here for three days installing the system and they were professional, careful, and tidy. They answered questions I had about the installation and did not leave any mess. The system just passed city inspection today and everything is working perfectly. I also was able to speak with the owner, Jayson, several times throughout the process which was great. Jayson also came to my house today to inspect the entire system and make sure everything was in good shape. It shows commitment when the owner personally shows up to review his team's installation and check in with the client. Great customer service. I am very happy with Sun Solar and would recommend them.

My wife and I really wanted to install solar on our historic old home. With clearance from the landmark folks, I asked 4 different contractors to evaluate and bid. Two were fully ready to take our money and install solar and we were about to sign up, but waited for the report from Sun Solar, because we were very impressed with the company and the presentation. Steve Bernard called to say he had spent hours trying to find a configuration that would provide the needed solar energy, but had not been able to. By the time I got Steve's call, I had done more research and had seriously questioned whether it could work for us. First, we are surrounded by big old trees that provide us with great shade, but cut out a lot of solar exposure. Our roof faces east and west, with no southern exposure. Finally, the roof space is broken up with dormers front and back, leaving what proved to be inadequate space to place enough panels to be effective. For those reasons, I knew immediately that Steve was speaking truthfully and intelligently. I'm disappointed, but so appreciative of getting the truth.

I had the impression from his initial visit that Steve was a man of honor and honesty. He spoke of working for Sun Solar because of their substantial values, consistent with his own. I believe that Sun Solar has proved to be a highly ethical business and I would certainly trust them to do work for us in the future.

I worked with Scott Hansen who was terrific. I called in late in the year because I wanted to make sure I got in as fast as I could for tax and other benefits, but I needed to make sure that it got installed before the end of the year. He was careful not to over promise, but he did promise to get it up and that he did. Weather and holidays didn't make it easy, but he and his team got it done anyway.

The installers where also very friendly and did the job quick and efficiently.

This is my 2nd project and I know 3 other people that have had solar install and every single time it has been a $h;t show, but this was a smooth transaction. I would definitely use them again.

Sun Solar was 100% professional and service oriented throughout the process. From the first on site visit, to the bid, to installation, to (the multiple inspections), and final set up - they were great. They provided a balanced view of product options customized for my needs. I highly recommend this quality firm.

Sun Solar Electric installed a Sonnen ecoLinx battery at my home as part of a special project. I wasn't given the opportunity to choose the company, but I'm happy that they were chosen for me.

Mike first came over to take measurements and plan out where to place the battery and get an idea of how to hook everything together. I could immediately tell that he was good at what he does. He was thorough, identified potential issues, and thought of a lot of options very quickly. The first meeting was brief, but I felt more than comfortable to have Sun Solar Electric install the battery.

On installation day, Mike and Jim showed up with the battery. They came on time and were ready to roll. They made sure to have their (COVID) masks on, and insisted that they wanted me to be comfortable with them working in my home. I asked if I could watch them do the installation, and Mike told me that I was more than welcome to.

During the install, they found a couple issues with the current wiring (older house from the 50s). They fixed them without hesitation, even though it was a bit more unplanned work. Mike and Jim wanted to ""make things right"" wherever they feasibly could.

Even though the install included some minor demolition, they both kept the workspace nice and clean. They made sure to clean up any leftover debris that was created after the installation was complete.

The battery is working great, and Mike has been helping me with some configuration.

Overall, I'm happy with the battery and with the company. They were very professional, and Mike and Jim were a blast to hang out with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.

I found Sun Solar Electric on Yelp after requesting a quote for some electrical work for our kitchen and an exterior fountain. Sun Solar responded to my request right away, and they were able to work with me regarding the time frame we needed. Today, Michael came to our home as scheduled, right on time, and fixed the kitchen issue easily and quickly. He also diagnosed and recommended a fix for the fountain that will resolve a problem we have been having for years. We are going to have Sun Solar fix that issue as well as install some additional lighting in our kitchen that we have been wanting to put in. Michael is very knowledgeable, personable, and professional, and I highly recommend him and Sun Solar Electric for your electric needs. Top notch!

After watching our Utility bills climb steadily, we'd looked into solar for our home.
Our research showed that owning our own solar system was a very good investment,
if we worked with a reputable company.
We were urged by friends to look at Sun Solar Electric, and after we did, chose them.
They proved to be very knowledgeable, highly efficient, and Jayson gave us a great price on first grade equipment!
The crew was great with our dogs-and always made sure gate securing them stayed closed.
We're glad our friends recommended SSE to us. We'd recommend Sun Solar Electric to anyone
thinking about getting solar.

I've used Mike, Jayson and their crew for several years now for electrical jobs on my home and have recommended them to many friends all over the Bay Area. They've always been professional and their quality of work shows.

Just over a year ago, I purchased a solar panel system from them consisting of LG panels and Enphase Micro inverters. Upon my anniversary and my true-up period, I was right about where I should be. And while there's recent issues w/ other current companies' solar panels and equipment, my system is solid.

Mike and Jayson won't try to scam you, try to gouge you or put you in a high cost solar lease. They are super knowledgeable about their products and their recommendations can be trusted. They clearly care about their clients!

I would highly recommend this company for any electrical or solar work you need.
