Explains everything from the beginning until the end. Very competitive prices when I was getting quotes from other companies. Super knowledgeable about solar and all that goes into getting solar and the after care. read more

I read the reviews for all the solar company's. Like what I read about alltech solar. Very professional. On time. Did everything they said they would. Would recommend this company to anyone. read more

Alltech Solar - Installation of my panels. - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

I did all my research beforehand, and Alltech was the logical conclusion. I would recommend them to anyone considering going solar. Coordination between Alltech and the credit union was almost seamless. Cash or finance, total system price is the same. (So stay away from solar installers when you see that the total system price is higher on financing. It should be the same for cash or finance.) The entire process was smooth from start to finish. My salesperson Julian kept me in the loop and set the proper expectations. read more

Look elsewhere! They are expensive and just want to do the job and get out, never to be seen again. See Malcom's negative review where he says: "As I hope everyone can see, once AllTech has your money, they are done with you and will not provide any support whatsoever. Use this company at your own risk." I thought maybe that review was off, but now I wish I had trusted it. Also note the comments from people talk about rude comments and unanswered calls and messages. They are all correct. Really, don't waste your time considering this company. PS: I also now note there are no names of any individuals on their website nor their contractor license number, as is the law. I did eventually find the company's contractor's license... and it's in the name of a "Fred Carmody Jr." It appears he is an absentee owner and his unqualified son now runs the business. I wish I had noticed this before hiring them, sigh. read more

I had a 14 panel system installed in August 2020, so far it is been working perfectly. Installation was very smooth. Chase and Ken are great to work with, I highly recommend this company and got a great price on the system and was able to save a lot of money after researching about 10 other solar companies, these guys win! read more

Had solar installed, finally live date w Sdge was in December 2022. Loved being educated on Solar by Julian, his videos really helped. Great company, all very professional. Very happy overall and great price. Got estimates from big competitors in SD. They do not sub contract, handle all themselves. read more

Alltech solar is a top notch company. They are honest, reliable and do all they can to service their clients. I was so impressed by Chase and his team. They delivers a quality solar solution. I looked at many of the vendors and Alltech was a clear winner. I highly recommend them. read more

Chase is very knowledgeable. They are excellent at triaging issues and seem to truly know their craft. They are well versed in the features supported by their systems and the most effective ways of utilizing them. read more

Just wrapped up my whole process with Alltech, and compared to the many, MANY horror stories I was told from family and friends about their experience with other solar companies, Alltech's process has been a walk in the park. Start to finish, Alltech provided all of the best service, communications, timelining, transparency, and so much more. Ken was my sales person, and was one of the few I spoke with (I spoke with almost a dozen other companies) who was completely honest and transparent, whether I liked it or not. That goes a long way in my eyes, and I appreciated him the whole way through. Pam was great in getting everything coordinated and staying in constant communication even when we were getting impatient with how long of a process solar is (Start to finish from first talk to today, about a 6 month process). And finally, Chase was the most personable and professional contractor I have worked with in a long time! Did install and panel upgrade in one day, no issues at all and texted constantly to make sure we weren't without power for too long. If you are thinking at all about solar, go with Alltech. Great pricing, great, service, great everything, and all at a great price at the end of the day. Thanks again Alltech! read more

I recently purchased solar panels for my home. I checked out several companies and Alltech Solar stood out for their expertise and competitive pricing. Ken and Chase shared their knowledge of the industry and helped fit my home with a system that would optimize performance. They even replaced one of my air vents to ensure the the best placement of the panels. They did everything they said they would do on a timeline that was spot on accurate. The system was up and running two days before Christmas. It's now been a little over a month and I am very happy with the system. Alltech Solar did a great job and I would recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

These guys are the best in the business, first off they had the best prices I found and not just by a small margin. Most people won't talk prices on Yelp but I will just so you can see, and also because doing this is the least I can do for what he did for us. I'm a thorough careful person, I tend to really shop things a lot especially with solar. I read tons of reviews on Yelp, Facebook, and tend to go with word of mouth at the end of the day. Not this time. I interviewed at least 7 or 8 different companies, some were referred by friends, some came recommended on Facebook. I put out a notice on some site that I was looking for solar and proceeded to get tons of calls. Cyrus was one of them. He passed my initial phone screening so I invited him to one of about 3 interviews. As it turned out, nobody could even come close on really anything which turned out to be a pretty easy decision for me. I noticed most were coming in at around the same price point, around the 24k to 26k mark (one at 40k believe it or not who was quickly shown the door). Most offered a standard 15 year workmanship warranty, with 1 that came in with a 20. Cy came in at $19.2k for the exact same size system (which I later upsized due to the price so it went to 19.8). Not only was that a smoking deal on the price, but it also came with a 25 year workmanship warranty. He installed top rated Panasonic panels that also carry a 25 year hardware warranty and went onto explain he uses only stainless steel connectors to install rather than just plastic like everyone else, (I later confirmed that was correct). Friendly, professional and quality all the way around. Top notch install, product, warranty, and service. Even after the install he is coming back to adjust some of the panels to a more efficient location that had to be placed a certain way for inspection. You need solar? You found your guy, I've already done the shopping for you. read more

My search for a reputable, honest and fair priced solar company took a little over two months of interviews and presentations. Finally I narrowed it down to the top three companies I felt would do the job properly. All of the equipment was the same so I could compare equally what the products were that were going to be used. I based my decision on equipment, price, company reviews and reputation. I further checked on licenses, the Better Business Bureau and both Yelp and Google reviews. By a far margin Alltech Solar came out on top in every category. It started with my sales rep Ken who explained everything they did, how they worked, what equipment they would use, how big the system should be (not to big or to small) and the expectations I should receive from the system. He was very responsive to my questions and kept me informed on the process all the way, even down to turning on the system and explaining how it all worked. The install crew put the entire system together in one day. They were efficient, professional, showed up when they said they would and and had all the material needed to complete the job with them. Chase, the owner, was on the jobsite and worked along with his crew making sure all went as planned and promised. One of the nicest and considerate person you will have the opportunity to meet. Some of the best parts of this company are they have been designing and installing solar systems for a very long time and offer an incredible installation warranty which equals the warranties of the manufactures. This told me that they were very confident in their crews workmanship and the manufactures they represented. All in all a very positive experience. Needless to say I highly recommend this company for your solar needs. read more

Ken, Chase and Pam and all of their personnel did an excellent job of educating me about solar, roof work, installation process and getting the project up and running. Working together, they made the process very easy on me and were very respectful of my property. I highly recommend this company and its employees. They are professional, efficient, and just nice people with whom to work. read more

There is a reason this place has 5 stars. Highly recommend you look into a quote from here if you are looking at solar. Honest folks, good work, on time and great communication. Definitely worthy of 5 stars! read more

Alltech Solar is absolutely the finest Solar sales and installation in San Diego. Julian is a wonderful resource for the equipment, patiently explaining the benefits and differences of various panels and micro inverters. I changed my mind half way in to the contract and upgraded to the Panasonic IQ8 micro inverters and then was able to add on two batteries for complete autonomy should the need arise! Chase and Julian changed the plans without a hitch. System was quickly approved by the city and is up and running! read more

This is a review for the quote, which I found to be the lowest quote of every dealer I've been to. Saving all you solar shoppers a bunch of time. This price is lower than Green EPC, Baker, Sullivan, Semper, and Petersen-Dean. I went with SolarTech because I wanted Sunpower in particular, but for those who definitely want LG as the best of the rest, Alltech Solar had the best price. I will give props to Chase Carmody for following up despite having a first quote that was nowhere near close, and I almost switched over to them because he was willing to go above and beyond on pricing to snag my business. He would have had it too if it were Sunpowers. BTW, the Sunpower inverters do not clip, their new inverters do not use the Enphase inverters, which do clip, which is why most people get optimizers on non Sunpower panels. $16,000 for 14 x 360 Watt LG-R's. SolarEdge inverters Attic Run Hardwired panel monitoring Good luck! read more

This is a review for the electrical support that Cyrus has provided for us. He does great work, is really dependable and conscientious. I plan on calling him for all my electrical needs. If that's not enough to convince you, here's the latest story... On a Friday afternoon, I realized that the garbage disposal wasn't turning on when I flipped the light switch. And then I noticed that the another switch in the same box wasn't turning on the recessed light that it should. After checking all the circuit breakers, I finally called Cyrus. I told him the situation, and asked if he had availability. He came out the next afternoon. For those keeping score, that's Saturday. Less than 24 hours later. On a weekend. It turns out he had to replace some bad switches, which took less than an hour. After I asked him what the charge was and he did it FOR NOTHING. I feel like that sort of support doesn't exist really anymore. But when I can call Cyrus and have him be there for me, I think maybe I've underestimated people out there. Thanks, Cyrus, for the great work! See you next time. read more

After a lengthy with Ken Ehrly this afternoon, he suggested I was NOT a potential customer as the Financials did not work out for me. WHAT? A salesman talking you out of a job? Thanks Ken for your professionalism and honesty. read more

Excellent customer support. i interviewed 5 companies and they were the best by far.

Alltech = FANTASTIC! From the start, Julian was informed and great to work with as I was doing my homework with 5 potential solar companies to install my system. No pressure tactics, just laid out the information, answered all my questions, and gave me great advice on things to consider. Once I decided to go with them, Chase took over the planning and install work that was professionally done with a crew that was courteous, professional, and always exceeded expectations. I am incredibly satisfied and thankful that my due diligence resulted in picking a great company to work with. I'm not sure if they qualify as a small business but it's great to know they are family owned and local - that really made a difference. Everyone was super responsive at all hours of the day and on weekends as well. I can't compare Alltech to other companies but I highly recommend you consider Alltech if you are looking to install solar at your home. read more

When you're considering solar, Julian is your guy! No frills and is just an honest person when it comes to deciding what is best for you and your home. Answers all your questions and makes you feel at ease. Would highly recommend Alltech Solar for all your solar needs. read more

After interviewing 6 different solar companies I went with Alltech Solar. I chose Alltech Solar for three reasons. 1) I liked that Chase/co-owner came to meet with me and was the first company not to do a hard sell. He allowed me to make an informed decision. No pressure whatso ever. 2) They had the best price compared to the other companies that offered equal systems. 3) They had awesome Yelp reviews that seemed authentic and detailed. There are 4 stages to installing solar. 1) Design the system and submit to the city for approval. When I signed the contract, they immediately prepared the system layout they would be installing and submitted it. The approval for the system would take about 30 days for city approval. It approved in about 25 days. 2) When it was approved they quickly scheduled an appointment within 5 days. Most of the other cpmanies were booked a month or two out after approval. 3) The day of the install they showed up on time with a team of three installers. It was easy to communicate with the team and they let me know how long it was going to take and they stuck to the planned time frame. They cleaned up cleaner than when they arrived. 4) As much as I wanted to turn on the system that day, I was informed it would take a week for the city inspector to approve the system to be turned on. It actually only took three days for the inspector's approval. Alltech sent one of their techs to meet the inspector so I did not have to. 5) Chase came the next day to explain the whole system. He patiently answered all my questions and provided a detailed book on my system and the 25 year warranties on the panels and converter. He also gave me his number to call and ask questions as much as I needed. I am very happy I went with Alltech and feel I was informed at every stage of the process. They may not be a big national company, but they beat the competition with better pricing and better customer support (based on a couple of neighbors who went with a big national company). And they offered the same and sometimes better warranties than the other companies. They are easily a five star company. read more

Cyrus from Alltech Solar was very knowledgeable and helpful when I was deciding what type of solar installation I wanted. His crew was extremely organized and they had the whole installation up and running after the permits were issued. They took care of all the permitting with SDGE and walked me through everything. I haven't had any issues with the installation and the online app to graph the service works great. They guarantee all their work. I'm very pleased that I chose them. A friend of mine went through a broker to set up her service and has had nothing but trouble. Their prices were extremely reasonable and less than the other quotes I obtained. read more

If I could give six stars I would! Cy, Ryan, and the Alltech Solar team were professional, knowledgeable and respectful. We received four different solar quotes and Alltech was by far the best. Not only were the competitively price, but their price included the addition of a whole house fan to help with energy costs. We also added some additional electrical work to the project and the team managed to complete both the solar installation and electrical work in two days. The entire process from the quote to turning on solar was completed in less than one month, and Alltech handled the entire process from permits to installation - we didn't have to do anything! Plus, Alltech will monitor our solar panels and output to help troubleshoot if there are any issues. When Cy came by to hand over our manual and turn on the solar he even brought us some San Diego beer as a thank you, and even helped us out with a final light installation without any warning. Really, we owe him and his team the thank you! I will definitely be using Alltech for any future electrical needs and will recommend them to all neighbors and friends. Thanks, Alltech! read more

I did a comparison of the highest rated solar companies on Yelp in SanDiego and selected Alltech Solar. The salesperson Julian was incrediably responsive and provided us with the best deal. The installation went effortlessly. Chase was the installation manager and got the job done on time without any problems. It only took one day for the installaltion! I would highly recommend Alltech Solar to anyone looking for solar panels. If you want to see Julian on YouTube explaining all of the aspects of solar do a search for Julian Todd-Borden. His videos are great! read more

was on the phone with one of the guys and he went really into depth about their history and their certifications which was great. i had my kid on my lap and she was cooing and he said "hey tell that kid to be quiet, we're doing business here." WHO TF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! she barely made a couple of sounds. anywho, I will not be working with this company and will not tolerate that kind of customer service. read more

I was recommended Alltech by a friend and I've been very impressed with the level of service provided. I'm not very familiar with lingo or language when it comes to contractors but after setting up an appointment, I felt very comfortable especially because they were very straight forward and honest about the process. I intend to stick with alltech for my home installation and I will gladly recommend giving them a shot. read more

Chase called me on a Saturday to offer some helpful information, and schedule an estimate. He was able To fit me in first thing Monday morning. Customer service is unmatched in the industry he's in, which will take him far. Waiting on one more bid this week, but overall Confident that Alltech will be our choice, based on their enthusiasm and willingness to gain our business. read more

My husband finally convinced me that it was time to open my mind and consider getting solar. Then, our next door neighbor told us they were having solar installed. My neighbor, an electrician, had already interviewed several solar companies and had decided to go with Alltech Solar. Because we trust our neighbor, we went ahead and set up an appointment w/ Alltech. From the beginning, we were very impressed with Cy. He was very knowledgeable and NOT pushy. He gave us the information we needed, the price (which was right in the ballpark of what we were willing/able to spend) and that was it. No pressure to sign right then in order to get some special prize or anything. We thought about it for a week or so and the WE called Cy; they hadn't pestered us with followup phone calls, which was perfect. Cy came back out during the daylight hours, checked our roof, tested the areas best suited for panels, etc. After that, there were a few papers to sign - all done online- and it was very easy. We were put on the schedule and the only delay we had was because of rain. The whole team was polite, professional, and did a clean, fast install. Cy has been available for a couple of follow up visits with us to further explain how to understand the solar monitoring site and answer more questions. Cy is so nice and polite and never makes you feel like you are a pain. I can't say enough about their excellent customer service. I'm thankful my neighbor did all the leg work and found Alltech Solar. We went along with his recommendation and couldn't be more satisfied. Our solar system is performing great! read more

We had Ken as our representative. Although, we did not choose Alltech ken was knowledgeable, polite and patient. He answered all our questions. The education Ken provided helped us not only understand our solar system but, also make the best system for our family needs. Other solar companies need more representatives like Ken. read more

Alltech solar is the best. Chase and his crew were friendly, fast and efficient. It took just 6 weeks from first call to installation. Most of that time is waiting for permits. They have very competitive prices. They are so good that a lot of other solar companies us them to do their installs. So you might as well use them directly. They have any kind of solar panel that you would want and they only use the best quality products. Their warranty on workmanship and panels is the best in the industry. Bottom line they are great. I would recommend them to everyone we know. read more

I first found Alltech through watching several educational videos on YouTube. These videos were made by Julian Todd-Borden from Alltech. Julian is a pleasure to talk to and very knowledgeable about solar power systems. He literally saved me 10's of thousands of dollars in the cost of my solar electric system. After months of struggling with Tesla, I came to discover that Tesla is in the business of selling their power banks, not so much the rebranded solar equipment they sell. Julian educated me to the fact that I did not need a battery backup system. Tesla wanted about $40-$50K for their system and a new roof. They then added the necessity of an inspection by a roofing engineer which pushed the total cost towards $60K. Alltech put in a new roof and solar electric panel system for under $30K. Julian, Chase, and Pam were always a pleasure to deal with. I was kept informed of scheduling issues in a timely manner. Workers showed up when scheduled. My requests through email were promptly responded to. All together this was an excellent business transaction. I cannot recommend this company enough. For me, they are the best! read more

I recently used Chase and Alltechsolar for some repairs on my installed system, extremely responsive, professional and courteous. I give this company my strongest recommendation for Solar support in San Diego read more

Alltech solar is top notch. From the very first phone call I was impressed by the can-do attitude. Ken and Chase were super responsive through out the process. Highly recommend. read more

I'm pleasantly surprised. I had visited a friend of mine in Imperial Beach who was in the midst of home renovations. Part of his plan was solar panel installation. We had asked for PV paneling to be installed on the back side of the house only as it has most exposure to the sun and wouldn't be as visible from the street. Where I live in Kentucky, this industry is not nearly as efficient. The folks at Alltech made what I thought would be a 3 day job look like an afternoon checkers game at Cracker Barrel. They were fun to talk to, professional and involved, but mainly efficient. The price was competitively low and the job was done expertly. I'd like Alltech to open an office in KY. read more

Great local company!! Alltech was very patient as we went back and forth to choose the best company for us. I really liked at the end of the calls they always asked do we understand all the products and how they work. They even helped configure our system to support an electric truck. Showed up on time, clean and professional. read more

Chase, Ken and crew did a great job installing our solar system. They also performed some other electrical improvements, including the installation of a car charger within our home, and the installation of some dedicated circuits for a fridge. The team took pride in not only installing the system, but ensuring it was done to a high standard. I received bids from 5 different installers and I appreciated the honest and direct information that was provided by Ken. The team gave us a few alternatives and helped us evaluate the pros and cons of each. If you're looking for an honest and professional local company, look no further then All-tech. read more

Had them install solar for my home. Great people, great price. They gave me a schedule that was right on the money. From Ken the sales person to Chase the Project Manager. Both were great and truthful. I can't say enough good things about this company. If you want solar then go to Alltech Solar. read more

Cyrus and his Installers did a excellent job on my home. He beat 4 other bids easily for the same product (Lg 360 panels). His installers completed 20+ panels in 2 biz days and he walked me through the process 2 or 3 times to ensure I was comfortable and confident in the product, services and warranty. Alltech is the best choice for great solar products and installation. read more

Make Alltech Solar your first choice. Alltech Solar provides unequalled customer service. The phrase customer service is bandied about quite liberally by some, but I don't offer this comment lightly. After one of the recent heavy rains, a minor leak appeared in our patio overhang. The solar panels are no where near, though the conduit carrying the power from the solar panels is in the proximity. Wondering if there was any relation with the conduit supports, I reached out to Alltech and as usual, received a prompt response leading to Chase coming to the house. After pointing out where the leak was evident, Chase explained the conduit supports are put down with adhesives (not nails or anything else penetrating the roof), so wouldn't be a possible source of the leak. Agreeing with and accepting the explanation, I thanked him with full expectation he would depart. To my very great and pleasant surprise he offered to go up on the roof and take a look. Shortly thereafter he came down and showed me a video of the likely cause (roofing nail appears to have popped up, creating a small bubble allowing rain to enter). In another great and pleasant surprise, he offered to go back up and patch the problem. He declined payment, even when couched as for taking his wife out to dinner. In review, we had a leak and wondered if the solar installation may be related; contacted Allltech and promptly Chase arranged to come to the house; after showing him the issue, Chase explained how it the supports were glued down and couldn't be a source of the leak, with which I agreed; rather than just departing, Chase offered to look at the roof, discovered the likely source and applied a patch; rejecting payment of any kind. Another heavy rain has since come through and no leak. This meets my definition of unequalled customer service. If you are considering rooftop solar power, I heartily recommend Alltech Solar and encourage you contact them at the soonest. With power prices climbing and new regulations soon, do not wait. read more
