    I just purchased two Tesla batteries. It was quite a process getting to this point. There were a lot of changes but is finally in and running. I have to give two people thumbs up James Murray and Devon who does the commissioning they communicated so well And made the end result of pleasure I would highly recommend them

    I originally purchased my house in Elk Grove with 15 solar panels (originally installed by Future Energy) and contracted with ES Solar in August 2025 to install two Tesla Powerwall solar batteries before the end of the year to take advantage of the 30% federal tax credit. The batteries were installed in December, but due to the various steps that needed to take place- fire department inspection, city inspection, and SMUD inspection- the certification was not done until February 2026. ES Solar is expanding from Utah into the California market and frequently, communication and customer service was difficult to deal with but improved throughout the process. For instance, in California, ES Solar cannot collect on the final sale until certification occurs, yet I was communicated with twice demanding payment right after installation which is legal in Utah. Also, reaching anyone in customer service can be difficult, so if you contract with ES Solar, I'd heavily advise making sure your sales representative keeps in touch with you until your project coordinator is known. My Enphase combiner was obsolete so ES Solar promised to replace this at contract signing and after multiple attempts did install it complimentary so that my system can be better monitored through my Enlighten app. Additionally, at the contract signing, I was only promised the SMUD ($10,000), Federal Tax solar battery rebate (30% of purchase price), and ES Solar rebate ($1,500). I received my SMUD rebate about a week after my Tesla app was up and running after certification. I received one call from my project coordinator (Ashley), but she quit the company a week or so after my certification date. As such, I just had to follow up recently (early April) to confirm that my ES Solar rebate will be in the mail within a week and I was able to claim my federal solar battery credit and have already received that refund after filing my 2025 taxes. At installation, in addition to what was promised at the contract signing, I was told about an additional Tesla manufacturer's rebate ($500 per battery, $1,000 total for two batteries) and an SGIP (PG&E) rebate for $2,250. Unfortunately, after discussing the status of my ES Solar rebate, accounting from ES Solar confirmed that I no longer can get the SGIP rebate because the application was not filed before the end of the year (had to be done by ES Solar) and the SGIP program already ran out of funds. I'm not sure if it was my former project coordinator that dropped the ball, but in fairness, this was 'gravy' on top of what I expected and was promised at contract signing. I'm not going to lie after reading through the rest of the reviews- communication with ES Solar can and from my experience has been extremely frustrating (not all of my issues are detailed in this review). However, as the California office gains more autonomy, I think these issues are being slowly worked out so for any fellow customers, keep steady and keep contacting whoever you can to get your questions answered. Devin Buck, the certification specialist, was that person for me. Although as the certification expert he came at the end and had to deal with all the pent-up issues I experienced with various ES Solar contacts, he was attentive to my concerns and questions and has made an earnest attempt to get everything answered and fixed whenever asked, even after certification. Without Devin's guidance and customer service, my rating would be a 3, but given that all my issues have now been resolved and ES Solar did replace my obsolete Enphase combiner complimentary (although that took some hoops to accomplish) and informed me of additional financial incentives after contract signing (bummer on the SGIP rebate whoever dropped that ball), I do believe that despite the issues, the local team here in Rancho Cordova is earnestly trying their best to deliver a quality product and service. Aside from Devin, Scott (manager) and the installers, although overwhelmed, when presented with issues, did their best to get things done right for the customer and ultimately, after a little more follow up than was necessary, I am happy with my product and my working solar battery system.

    Solar production of 25% once I had the panels cleaned. My batteries are now charged every day by solar power.
    Eddie E.

    From the time I initially contacted ES Solar to the moment I turned the batteries on the grid was less than a month. That includes city inspection, SMUD inspection and permitting plus installation. If you have solar panels, get batteries if you get batteries, contact ES Solar.

    Great location for my install easy access. (pretty)

    I am getting my 2 batteries up and running. Installation was outstanding SMUD connected and then Enoch came and helped me set up the apps and we are on our way. Great product but I am mostly impressed by the team I have worked with to start saving money and sending energy to SMU D.

    We put this sign up because we have a newborn.The sales person ignored both signs, no soliciting and please do not knock or ring.

    Thanks Volt! I highly recommend this roofing and solar company. Buck and his team are great: very…read moreknowledgable, hard-working, and have amazing attention to detail. On top of that, they're just good down-to-earth people. We hired them last spring to re-roof our home, replace some rotted eaves and fascia and replace our old solar system (it was inefficient and malfunctioned quite a bit). We are very happy with what we got for the price we paid, it was a good value. It looks so much better than it did before and is consistently producing more energy. I feel like they helped us make the right decisions through the whole process, especially for system size to be able to keep our NEM1 status. The new roof looks great and works really well. I waited almost a year to write this review to make sure there wasn't any water intrusion during the winter storms - not a drop anywhere. They were in the mid-high range in pricing on the bids we got, but I'm happy we spent a little more went with them. Can a roof be sexy? Ours sure is. All in all, if you need a new roof or solar system or home battery, or all of the above, call Volt. They are a competent and professional group of local people who are really f**king good at what they do.

    After much research, we had the top six companies quote us estimates for solar on our Loomis house…read more I noticed that each company explained the process differently; some explanations were good, while others left me more confused. When Buck arrived, he stayed until we were satisfied with our understanding, and I learned so much more from his explanations than from all other companies. Considering they were also roofers and understood the difficulty with our high-pitched roof, we placed more confidence in them than the others. Hence, we chose them after a month of research and estimates. Kristen, their assistant manager, was very communicative throughout the entire project, keeping us informed about what was happening behind the scenes with permits, PG&E approvals, and the team's schedule. That helped us understand the project's time frames. Bucks crew -- Jared, Sean, and the others -- were friendly and professional. They worked quickly and efficiently to finish the job, paying close attention to detail. They went above and beyond, including sharing additional insights about our gutters and attic. I could tell they understood the bigger picture, and I am grateful for their effort. After researching many companies, we are happy we chose Volt Modern and will definitely recommend them to others looking for solar installation and roofing services.

    My husband and I dug in our heels FOREVER, when it came to getting solar. There were all kinds of…read moresalespeople who came to our home on a monthly basis, and we just never had a real peace about being able to trust what we were being " sold", or told. My parents purchased solar from a HORRIBLE company that sounds a lot like 'SunFun'. After they passed away, and the house was sold...we were STILL making the monthly payments for over a year!!! That SunFun organization REFUSED to transfer the solar to the new homeowner, and eventually stopped taking or acknowledging our calls. It wasn't until we had to threaten the new homeowner with a lawsuit that SunFun finally transferred ownership. Due to this, we could not trust any of these solar companies...that is, until Kevin Bedard came to our home, and explained everything in great detail to my husband and I. He took the time to hear about our concerns, and he showed us how he truly cared. That same week, we spoke to two other families who shared their positive experiences about Ambrose Solar that made us feel that we would be in great hands. We had FINALLY FOUND A PEACE about getting solar on our home; KNOWING we would be in good hands, and we were ALL IN. It's been six months now, and we are beyond pleased with our solar panels, and the two Tesla batteries we have purchased. We are true fans, who have NOTHING but RAVE REVIEWS for this company. If you don't have solar, or if you need to add solar, Kevin Bedard is your man! and Ambrose is your company. Every employee has been amazing and helpful. In a world where customer service has taken a dump, this company has remained a class act. So again...if you are considering solar, call Ambrose, and tell them Albert and Rhonda sent you.

    My project is now finished and it's been about 6 months turned on and functioning- I'm still so…read moreglad that I did this with Ambrose Solar. Any home renovation project has bumps, and this one had its fair share: after initial install they monitor the systems production remotely to see if it's doing what it's supposed to/expected to, and my system was initially under-performing. They caught it and sent out a team to problem solve it, which took a couple tries, but they didn't drag their feet, they kept on it and kept at it and got it resolved. It was no fault of theirs, just a technology glitch. Core fear was that they would give up after a couple failures and leave me following up with them to get it done, but I never had to worry about that. I also did not end up liking where they placed the control box- it was something that was going to make future maintenance of my house trim problematic down the line. They willingly moved it up a few inches for me (and my only complaint was the team that did that didn't patch the original hole as efficiently as they should have. If I had understood the box placement better on the first pass that would never have happened, so this is a bit of a complaint of my own making.) Jon Landsman, who sold me the system, stayed with us the whole time tracking the project, checking in, and following through on every detail, every question, every concern. He never made me feel like the demanding diva that I am, was always prompt and gracious! The bottom line is that start to finish, even with a few bumps in the road, I have zero question that this is a company that legitimately cares about doing what is right. The culture of deeply valuing customer service that they have built is unmatched by many businesses these days. I am SO pleased, and SO impressed, and I can promise that you will be too!

    2 1/2 years ago I took a walk down to the end of my street to speak to a neighbor about his solar…read moresystem. It was probably the most money I ever made in the 30 minutes it took me to get the information I needed and learn about Valley Solar. I had several other solar installers provide me with quotes and some of those were at least twice as much for a similar system. Some companies would not even give me a quote because they did not want to deal with Lodi Electric Utility. Once I contacted Valley Solar in January they responded immediately and I was up and running in March. The system has performed flawlessly producing power and I will break even in another 4 years. Valley Solar is very pro-active and has been out a couple of times to address issues with the system communication function. I did not request these visits, they just called and asked if they could come out and do some upgrades. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them.

    Valley Solar's employees have been a delight. Pablo started us off and was willing to discuss…read morequestions even on his weekends. His explanations were clear and not pressured, like many of the sales people were. And he was very responsive. And the others, whose names I would have to search deeper in my memory banks to get, were equally great. But I am adding to my review because of the efforts of Christi, the office manager, who went above and beyond in getting us a rebate from PG&E. We kept on putting it off and she persisted. And we got a tidy sum from her efforts. So, many thanks Valley Solar.
