We first bought a solar system for my Mom's home last year. That went really well she has no electric bill. As a matter of fact, she has credits from SDG&E. We quickly noticed how all the employees from Cosmic Solar are always very happy, responsive and professional at her installation. So this year we purchased our own home in Valley Center. The first thing that came to our minds was a solar system. Knowing that out here in Valley Center the electric bills are very costly. Our goal was to purchase a ground-mounted PV system. We knew that it was going to be more of a cost than a regular roof mount. Not only that but not too many solar companies are interested in doing ground mounts or have the ability to install one. Every solar company that I hear about only wants to install on the roof. And my roof is composed of clay tile, not only that but I would not be able to fit all the panels that are required to offset my electric bill. By the way Cosmic did mention they would work on clay tile roofs is just that they would have to remove all the clay tiles repaper and then reroof the whole section where the array would be installed. Bahram & Pey where very knowledgeable and they answered all of our questions worked with us to fit our budget. When the installers came out they knew precisely where to install the PV array, trench, conduit, concrete, footings and so on.. and how to retrofit the wires to my main electric panel box. The entire installation was completed within 2.5 days. My overall PV system was installed up and operating within 20 days of the initial conversation. I've heard of stories where it takes weeks just to be able to pull a County permit. And months to have it installed and days to complete the work. Obviously, these guys have been doing this type of work for over a decade from the engineers, designers to the office staff they have the experience. I want to make sure that we thank all the office staff Judith, Mary, Sherry, and Tristan for keeping us informed on the status of our project every step of the way... We are so happy with or (30) SunPower Panels that include a 25 Year warranty on labor and components. Cosmic Solar you have performed very excellent installations at both locations. If we ever know of anyone looking for solar we would be more than happy to recommend Cosmic Solar to anyone. From our Family to you, THANK YOU!!!! read more

We met with 3 of the "Big" solar companies. After weighing the pros and cons we realized the best bet for us would be to purchase a system. Their prices were all around 36K for roof mount. Because of our location we wanted ground mount which all 3 would charge an extra $1500. Each of the "Big 3" also told us to forget about the CA solar rebate, concentrate on the federal rebate. Still not comfortable with these companies we found COSMIC SOLAR on the web. This company looked small but got 100% great reviews. On a Sat afternoon we call the number, planning to leave a message that could be returned on Monday. To our surprise, owner Bahram Shadzi answered his own phone! We explained our plans and asked for a bid we could compare with our other bids. Within 2 hours we had a bid in our in box. This bid for a ground mount $8,000 less than the other companies. COSMIC SOLAR'S charge per each panel was half what the other "Big 3" charged, and the solar panels used by COSMIC SOLAR were larger and top rated, plus NO EXTRA fee for ground mount. Working with COSMIC SOLAR has been a dream! Mary in the office made sure we were on the calendar. Owner Bahram personally came out to inspect property, discuss best placement and get all paperwork taken care of. He suggested we put in 30 panels instead of 28. We paid $1,000 to start and not another penny until the system was turned on. Co owner Judith did ALL the paper work for our rebates, and not just for federal! She also did all the paper work and submitted our system to California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE). Pey and the team were amazing during permits and the installation process. We didn't have to do anything! Job started and was completed right on time. The installation crew were hard workers, nice and funny. You could tell they liked working together. They left no mess at all. After filing our 2013 taxes we received a federal check for $9,000. April of this year we received a check from CA for another $1,500!! If it hadn't been for Judith at COSMIC SOLAR we would not have even submitted to CA. With these refunds our $28,000 solar system became a $17,500 system! (keep in mind the "Big 3" wanted $36,000 for my same system) What a great find top to bottom, COSMIC SOLAR! read more

We retained Cosmic Solar for our new construction project in Valley Center, largely because they were highly recommended by our builder and neighbors who had also used them. Ken came out to the project, met with us, and then presented two very detailed proposals including a step by step Project Timeline, Energy Analysis, Energy Bill Estimate, and Job Schedule. We chose the one that seemed to best meet our potential energy needs, and tentatively set up a start date based on our projected construction timeline. The timeline slipped because of construction issues and in October 2017, we received an email from Tristan concerning SDG&E changing the Time of Use Net Metering Rates on December 1, 2017. We had to receive permission to operate before that date in order to be grandfathered into the existing residential Net Metering Rate for 5 years, noted to be more beneficial to solar customers. Our builder placed a call to Ken and arranged to have the garage roof (where the panels would be) installed immediately, and Ken scheduled us for solar installation right after. All this took place within the week, and by late November, we had received permission to operate by SDG&E. Because of Cosmic Solar's and our builder's willingness to do whatever it took to make this happen, we have a fully operational system that is grandfathered. Ken even met us at the property later on to turn on the system and walk us through its operation. Our system is working flawlessly and we can't thank the Cosmic Solar team enough for making it happen. read more

Several years ago, when I decided to seriously investigate Solar Power, the only company that presented the Net Metering program in an easily understandable way was Cosmic Solar. All the other companies were giving sales pitches. Cosmic Solar matches the solar capacity to your usage history, presents the cost, the rebate and the payback time frame. After moving into a new home, I contacted Cosmic Solar, got a new presentation for the new location and gave the OK. They presented the plan, costs and schedule. Once started, it was completed in a week. The crews for installing the framework and electrical were fast and efficient. No mess left behind. Part of the installation is a module called Solar Edge. It has a Dashboard that shows the solar generated daily in 15-minute increments. SDGE switches their hourly Smart Meter readings to match. I can see daily, whether I'm generating enough electricity to net below zero. In addition, there is a daily view of the panels that shows panel by panel how much electricity each generated. My solar was activated after 8 days in the billing cycle, by the 20th day my usage with SDGE netted to zero. The product is delivering as Cosmic Solar presented. I highly recommend Cosmic Solar to anyone considering solar. read more

We met with 3 companies that we thought were the best of the 7-8 that we reviewed. Cosmic Solar was the only company that was represented by someone who was an electrical engineer (Ken) and knew exactly how the system would be installed on our roof. He was really considerate and not at all pushy--he even loved our dogs. The proposal was simple, easy to read, and did not contain any hidden costs etc. We knew exactly what we were paying for, the quality of the Sun Power panels and the 25-year warranty, and how the system would impact our electricity costs. Ken's follow up was great. Once we accepted the proposal the scheduling by the in-office team (Mary, Tristan, and Pey) was awesome. As others have commented the install crew were amazing--super polite and friendly, always happy, laughing, and having fun. They installed the whole system in one day and the inspector approved it the day after the install. We are now receiving credits on our SDGE bill. Can't say enough about this awesome team of people--a family owned business that is run like a big happy family--and people that really care about their customers. read more

We have just had our new solar system finished and commissioned! from the very start with our system advisor Larry all the way through to the final commissioning with Xavier the process was seamless! ours was a bit complicated as we already had an existing string inverter system that they needed to keep and combine with the new micro inverter system. add to that the existing system needing to be removed for a new roof being installed, then re-install the original system along with the new one. they never missed a beat! communication was spot on every step of the way! as a 28 year professional electrician and now a commercial electrical inspector for a municipality I know where if I speak. couldn't ask for a any better performance. clean, professional, polite, and well trained and experienced folks from the office to the field! I will definitely recommend Cosmic and their stellar team to everyone!!!! read more

We did not get bids from a variety of Solar Companies. Prior to meeting Cosmic Solar, we spoke to many residents in Valley Center that had Cosmic Solar install their solar panels. Everyone gave them high marks. This is the reason we chose Cosmic Solar due to their outstanding reputation for quality and customer service. Jose Duran came to our home and spent time explaining the options available to us. He did not try to pressure us in purchasing from Cosmic Solar. He provided a list of banks that offer "green loans". It took approximately 2 days to install the PV ground mount system. All work was quality including the WiFi installation. The crew was diligent throughout the job and cleaned up after the installation. If we had any questions or concerns, Pey and Mary were very helpful. We saw results after the first month from SDGE.

Did you know this company was rated number one in customer service for the entire state of California and number four in the United States. So if you're not inviting these people to your home or business to get a solar quote , you're giving up working with the most highly reviewed solar company by independent reviewing companies. Their competitors here in Southern California certainly do a great deal more advertising maybe that's the reason why they're significantly more expensive and don't even make the top 20 or top 50 most of the time in the state of California for customer satisfaction. Make sure you invite Cosmic Solar to your home or business to give you a free quote. I invited 17 different solar companies to my home to give me a quote. And no I'm not an employee of this company I am just a satisfied customer as are all of theirs. read more

Just completed the solar electric system installation for our home in the Old Escondido historical neighborhood. I've been extremely pleased with Cosmic Solar from initial discussions and quote with Jose, meeting with Pey(owner), and the other Jose, lead technician on the installation crew. They made the process very easy including city and historical district permitting and SDGE net energy metering application and the final inspection/approval. I have 20 beautifully efficient panels on my roof none of which can been seen from the street. The entire installation and all power connection required only 1 and 1/2 days of labor. I would strongly recommend a consultation with Jose at Cosmic when considering the solar electric option for your home or business. Mike A. Escondido, CA read more

Cosmic Solar was a pleasure to do business with. I would definitely recommend them for solar and roofing. We just had our roof replaced and then 30 Sunpower panels installed. Everything went very smooth and they were very professional All the way thru beginning to end. We had a very difficult roof because it is a Tutor style home and they managed to do a great job on it. Shout out to Ron for putting up with us. Larry was our rep and he came thru with everything he promised! Nice guy too. Bottom line is I really trust this company. Five stars all the way. Thanks Cosmic solar for being so honest and reputable. It's good to know that there still are good companies you can trust out there. Ps My SDGE bill went from 4 to 5 hundred a month to 10 dollars. Hallelujah! read more

When shopping for a solar system we received bids from several companies, with Jose Duran of Cosmic Solar providing the optimum system at the best price. They were very timely with regard to permits and scheduling. The only snag ended up being the approval from our HOA, which took a bit longer than expected. Once installation started, it was full speed ahead. Our 30-year old roof needed several repairs to meet all the installation requirements. This was efficiently and reasonably ($) handled by Alfredo's Roofing, who does a lot of work for Cosmic Solar. The installation team was courteous and professional, completing the installation in just a few days and the office staff was excellent in coordinating schedules, payments, etc. Highly recommended!. read more

Jose, Pey and Mary at Cosmic have all been amazing to work with! Jose understood the big decision we were making on solar that we needed for our home. Pey was alway's there to answer any questions we had. He is very knowledgeable in the field of Solar and answered all of our questions. Mary made sure we understood each step of the solar process of the install and each step & when to expect the guy's to install the solar. Their crew got in and out like they said they would! They are a very professional group. I highly recommend Cosmic Solar. They do not pressure you and are there from the start through the end!! Thanks for making this an AWESOME experience! Thank you Pey, Jose and Mary Keep up the great work!! Thanks, Holly and Raul Oceanside read more

The only Solar Company that I will use. Jose Duran and his team are the best in the business. After a long 2 year process of working out who was good and bad in the Solar industry, my conclusion on client feedback and local recommendations were the best was Cosmic Solar and Jose Duran. He knows the "ins and outs" of any situation that might arise in your search for a Solar Company to work with. He knew his product and he was willing to go the extra mile to help with financing options. As a Real Estate Agent of 25+ years, finding reputable companies in the service industry that stand behind their work is not often easy. I am quite satisfied that Cosmic Solar is the best in the Solar industry! read more

Cosmic Solar installed our system a few months ago. While in the process of renovation they met with us and answered all our questions. Bahram and Payman did a fantastic job completing the project and making sure it was on time. Their staff applied for permit from the city and HOA. We did not have to do anything which is exceptional. During the installation their staff were professional and meticulous paying attention to all the details. After they finished our placed looked untouched. They saw our project from start to finish. Their price was very competitive compared to the others we received. We hope you have the same experience. read more

From start to finish the entire group at Cosmic were really great! Ken is very knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our questions. Once we signed the paperwork, Cosmic took care of the rest, quickly and efficiently. The install was completed on time and professionally by Javier and his crew. The inspection was scheduled promptly and our system was turned on the day of the inspection! Pey helped guide us through the monitoring process and answered all of our questions. Mary was so helpful and responsive. We are very pleased and couldn't be happier with Cosmic and would highly recommend this company for your solar needs. read more

I received four estimates and Cosmic had the lowest price. Any questions I had were promptly answered. Several of my neighbors had used Cosmic and all were satisfied with them. They started the job as scheduled. The installation took a day longer then they anticipated, which was fine with me. The trenching was extremely difficult. A couple of sprinkler lines were damaged and immediately repaired. There were no additional charges. The employees were friendly and easy to work with. Workmanship was excellent. The system has been in operation for three months and I am satisfied with my decision and the the solar output. read more

My roof leaked during the recent rain, causing water to drip from the kitchen ceiling and down the wall. My roofer came out twice; I have a ten-year warranty against leaks. He couldn't find the hole and said it must be under the solar panels. I called Cosmic Solar, and Jonny came out, took off one panel, and found the hole. He said it was probably caused when someone punched through with a drill accidentally. (I had recently had my water repiped through the attic.) Jonny fixed the leak at NO CHARGE. All my experiences with Cosmic Solar have been great, including my electricity savings! This is a great company! read more

We have used Cosmic Solar for 3 projects and were extremely satisfied with their work. On the last project, we needed them to remove 27 solar panels (19 they installed and 10 from another contractor). They coordinated the removal and installation of the panels with the roofer. They showed early in the morning and removed the panels. The roofers then started removing the old roofing materials. Two days later the roof was completed and that afternoon, Cosmic Solar's employees replaced the panels. The system was up and running that evening. Pey, of Cosmic Solar, was great to work with. Very satisfied customer. read more
