SO GOOD I offered to buy the company! I know great service and great products and great business models when I see it. I talked to both owners, Christina and Jared, because they both came to my house at different times during the installation, and I'm an inquisitive and demanding customer (Warren Buffet was my neighbor back in Omaha) ... you make me happy, you're the best at what you do! I even offered to buy a percentage of the company, but they turned me down saying, "This is our life's work. We love what we do." They killed the competition. SunPro/ADT ($45k) was almost 50% higher than the price of Bay Area Solar ($31,776). A third less memorable competitor was 20% more and far less professional and friendly. Installation was fast and professional. I've been researching solar panels for 30 years so I knew what I was getting, and I got the best bang for the buck. No money down, $8261 Federal Tax Credit, $160 a month for 20 years, written guarantee that all my panels will produce 95% of what they produce the first day of installation, or Bay Area Solar will replace them for free. My bill with Duke has consistently been the minimum $35.96, with a few winter months around $60 due to more cloudy days and angle of the sun. My neighborhood was built in 1978, and my neighbors consistently pay $300, $400, and sometimes $500 a month. Other than buying my Toyota Prius, I've never been more happy with a product in my life.Other than buying my Toyota Prius, I've never been more happy with a product in my life.

We shopped around for solar energy and we found Bay Area Solar Solutions. We requested for a quote and we spoke with a lady name Christina who scheduled a visit to review our solar qualifications for our home. Christina was truthful and honest on our options about the panels. Since we were a qualified homeowner, we proceeded to receive a quote. She took measurements and she configured how many panels we needed, etc. She was very thorough with her plan of action and the layout of the project. Once we finalized the paperwork, she scheduled us for the installation, inspection and she followed through every step professionally. She provided a wonderful customer service anyone could ask for. She kept in touch with us each step of the way, even after the installation. Our electric bill was cut 2/3 of our regular bill and I am so glad that we're not paying as much to Duke. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We're so happy to have met you and worked with you, Christina. THANK YOU! read more

We had the privilege of working with Christina Jackson when she came out to our home to review our solar installation, as well as having her set up the application of Solar Edge for our personal use to check the solar system data collected every four hours. Christina is extremely knowledgeable on solar systems. She also took the time to explain to us exactly how the Solar Edge app works. She answered any question we had, as well as reviewing our current electric bill. The customer service is outstanding too. If you decide to purchase a solar system this company is the absolute best in the business. read more

Last year, my average electric bill was running $380/month and after heating my pool for one month, my gas bill was over $400 (pool heater is the only gas appliance). Needless to say, we were shocked at the cost and started looking into solar options for both the pool and house. We first interviewed a national corporation which was installing solar on some neighbor houses. Although the salesperson was nice, the company only worked with electric panels and did not offer any products for solar heating our pool. Their quote included a standard 40 panels (seemed to be more than we needed) which would only address our electric bill and not our pool heating needs. Furthermore, internet searches revealed a poor national customer service. Doing my due diligence, I received another quote from Christina at Bay Area Solar. She was very knowledgeable, and provided honest guidance about what the most efficient solution would be for us. She asked us questions about our use and needs, as well as our current bills, and delivered a customized solution which included pool solar panels, household electric panels, a solar attic fan and a solar water heater for the home. This solution was designed to get us as close to net zero without producing more solar energy than we needed. Christina explained that excess energy would be bought back by the energy company at pennies on the dollar and was not worth the investment (the national company, however, was promoting excess energy production and tried to upsell us). Christina's quote came in over $10k lower than the competitor and was a full solution for both the house and pool. Furthermore, Bay Area Solar is a local company. As a small business owner, my husband and I felt we would rather support local business than a national corporation. I am thoroughly pleased with our choice to go with Bay Area Solar. I truly appreciate Christina's patience in answering all of our questions and sharing her extensive knowledge about how solar works with the energy companies and the federal rebate options. She did not gloss over anything or try to upsell. I found her to be honest, straight-forward, and easy to work with. The installation was done fairly quickly over a few days and she was onsite to answer questions and ensure everything went as planned. We are now able to easily monitor our solar production through a mobile app. Following the installation, Christina has continued to provide excellent customer service. When a storm caused a power outage, Christina was able to quickly identify that the power to the solar panels needed to be rebooted and walked us through the process so that we would not lose out on solar production. My current electric bills are running around $25/month, a drastic difference from the near $400 bills we were receiving, and that's only because we purchase extra surge protection! My pool now stays at a constant 80 degrees from the solar panels and does not require us to use the gas. I highly recommend Bay Area Solar for anyone looking into solar options in the area. They are rare professionals with pride in what they do and a genuine interest and respect for their customers. read more

Simply the best - honest, caring, informative and reasonable. Christina and Matt kept our project moving quickly and efficiently and kept us informed each step of the way. Kudos to Bay Area Solar Solutions. We definitely will use them again. read more

We haven't had a solar installation yet but we have had both Christina and Jarred do other work for us and they do excellent work! They arrive when they scheduled and are very thorough in the work they do. More than this, they clean up the area when finished. I highly recommend them. read more
