I just had my solar panels installed by California Solar and I want to say they did an excellent job. Everything was handled professionally. I first met with Lindsey, who completely explained the process, how many panels it would take to generate over 100% of my yearly usage, and how much it would cost, minus the 30% federal tax credit. A graph was provided, showing my expected usage per month and the expected solar generation per month. Then Stacy took over and kept me updated every step of the way.
They made the application to PG&E, obtained the permits, designed the layout of the panels for my approval and arranged for the final county inspection. The installers were courteous and professional and cleaned everything up each day.
An overall excellent experience. They even sent flowers after the final inspection!
As a former contractor of many years, I'm very aware of the wide range of quality and professionalism that exists in the building trades. I know good work when I see it.
Our experience with Cal Solar was nothing but positive. The initial conversations, the site visits, and follow-up meetings were done in a professional manner. And the installation itself was high quality, performed by a friendly crew. They were flexible in working with us at every step and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. I highly recommend them for your solar project.

We did a lot of research and due diligence before deciding on who to go with for our solar install. We got several competing bids before making our decision on who to go with. Cal Solar did the best job not only with the install but advising us about the options available to us. It can be a pretty daunting task to soak it all in before signing on the dotted line but we felt very informed and there was absolutely no pressure to go forward. Keeping our hard earned money in the local community as well as supporting an employee owned instead of sending it elsewhere was also a plus in our decision Everything happened on schedule for our install even though supply chain issues were causing lots of delays elsewhere. Part of our installation required interfacing with another company that was installing a permanent whole home generator and that happened without a hitch. The only hiccup in our journey was due to PG&E not moving is over to their solar customer side of billing for several months. This was not due to any fault on Cal Solar's behalf, it was all due PG&E's billing department. We eventually got a full refund for over payments that we were billed for. Our system just passed the one year anniversary date about a month ago and our first annual true-up bill from PG&E showed that we had produced some surplus power and owed nothing.
