After interviewing approximately seven solar companies, reading reviews, comparing pricing,…read moreevaluating customer service, and reviewing BBB ratings, I ultimately chose SunMade Solar Energy to expand my existing solar system. One thing that stood out immediately was that their pricing was highly competitive with the other companies I considered. While pricing was important, what really set SunMade apart was that they hold both solar and roofing licenses. This gave me additional confidence because I previously had a bad experience with another solar company that damaged my roof, failed to fix the problem, and later went out of business, leaving me to pay for the repairs myself. Our sales representative, Jon Bernal, was professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. There was one item that the system designer later clarified, and although it wasn't a major issue, Jon personally reached out to notify me of the changes. That level of integrity and accountability meant a lot to me and demonstrated that he genuinely cares about his customers. The installation crew was professional, arrived on time, kept the work area clean, and communicated well throughout the process. After installation, I noticed a section of concrete that had become uneven due to settling. I contacted SunMade, and they returned within days to correct the issue and followed up to ensure everything was satisfactory. That kind of customer service is becoming increasingly rare. The entire process moved efficiently. Our first meeting with Jon was on March 28, we signed on March 30, the system was installed on April 27, the meter collar was installed on May 13, and we received Permission to Operate about a week later. Jon also helped us identify and secure available rebates. I would also like to thank Tara in the office. When I needed copies of my contract documents, she provided them promptly and without hesitation. Another positive observation is that the owner, Oz, appears to be actively involved with the company and personally responds to customer reviews. I noticed this during my initial research and felt it reflected a company that values customer feedback and satisfaction. At the time of this review, SunMade Solar Energy held an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Based on my experience, they delivered competitive pricing, excellent communication, professional workmanship, and outstanding customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend SunMade Solar Energy to anyone considering solar for their home.

I had solar installed about a month ago with SunMade and the experience was so easy and convenient…read more I wasn't super savvy with how solar works or how the process would be, but I did a lot of research and filtered through a lot of reviews and SunMade was what stood out the most to me. After the install, I can see why. Duane W was my rep and walked us through the whole process and just made it easy. I think if you've been on the fence with going forward with solar, definitely look into SunMade. You can tell they take pride in their work and give quality attention to detail. Thanks!

He explained how solar works, answered all our questions, reviewed our usage and created a tailored plan for our home and needs. The overall process took a little longer then expected since our roof was being redone but they were patient with us and helped facilitate issues between the county. The communication is ongoing even after install, helping us understand how to monitor our system. Overall we definitely recommend Martin Energy Consulting.

I would definitely recommend this company, it's a local company and they have been in business over 40 years. We are definitely saving money on our utility bill. The negative 655.00 SCE has a return policy on the electricity at .02 cents a kilowatt. I received back about 50.00 from SCE for this large credit. That was disappointing, I had preferred to leave balance on SCE. Even if this balance is left on the SCE statement you will get paid out at a low rate. Real bummer. Was hoping to keep my negative balance going. It resets after a year and you either owe at the high kilowatt rates or you get paid a couple cents on the kilowatt.

During that time, I was still paying $200 a month on the loan--on top of my regular utility bills. When they finally told me the system was "ready to use," it turned out it hadn't even been properly programmed. For over a year, the panels were on my roof but weren't actually programmed to any system to utilize the power being generated. As a result, at the end of the year, my TrueUp bill with PG&E was nearly $4,000. Currently, my panels do nothing, they provide less than 200 kWh of energy a month which is NOTHING. I am a single person living alone, so how much power could I really be using?!??! I might as well not have them at all.

Our family has been a victim of PG&E's expensive and unethical practices for years, and the approach to this install was very important to us. Jason is a true master of his craft, bringing intelligence, creative insight, and remarkable integrity to every aspect of his work. He generously put up with my highly analytic and data driven approach to the install plan, sourced our Tesla batteries and panels at far, far below market value (beating out numerous competitors by a truly considerable margin), refused to charge more than his quote even when unexpected costs arose, and offered transparent, excellent planning and communication every step of the way. Jason and his installation team produced an aesthetically clean, 20 panel array befitting our historic home, integrated our new array with our existing one in a difficult and customized way requiring thousands of feet of wiring/conduit, and achieved a commercial grade, quality install of 2 Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries that have now fully liberated us from PG&E grid dependence. As Jason himself predicted, in just 2.5 weeks, our new system has exported 700 kwh to the grid, and imported 0 kwh. We are now fully in control of our power, and no longer at the mercy of PG&E, now, or in the future. Financially, this is utterly lifechanging for our family. So, for anyone considering Sunrun, or other companies, do not move forward until you have given Jason Batman and Power Pro's Electric and Solar a chance first. They will easily beat out competitor pricing by a large margin, and produce a system of truly remarkable craftsman quality. I cannot recommend Jason and his team highly enough, and our family owes Jason and his team a tremendous debt of gratitude.
