    Seamless panel install with no visible wiring and conduits running across the roof.

    We've been live with our solar and battery system for about 4 months now, and we are very happy with the system Got Watts put together for us. We got quotes from 6 different places, and while Got Watts was not the cheapest quote, we were confident they would get the job done with the highest quality install. They were also able to include our panel upgrade in the work. We appreciated that they are able to handle all the paperwork, appointments, permits, and reviews - there's a lot to do! Each team member we worked with along the way were friendly, helpful, and always willing to answer questions. Jarrett in Sales helped us understand solar and battery basics, and created several proposals to help us decide the best system for us. Danny and his team did all the electricity and wiring work in our home, and we were appreciative they took time and care to keep things neat and clean, especially since the access to the attic space was in our daughter's room. John and Steve installed our panels, and Mark did our final day install and walkthrough. Everyone was great!

    Our solar system was installed September 2025 and has been running well since-we are extremely happy with Got Watts and highly recommend! After getting approached by other solar companies we reached out to Got Watts for an alternative bid and were impressed. Sales rep was low key and informative. The office support was available and supportive through the whole install. The installers were great and easy to work with, the manufacturers even had a rep on site during final install and permit inspection! A clean install with no conduits running over the roof, batteries, inverter and smart panel from EcoFlow(a great manufacturer). We would definitely use them again.

    I finally jumped onto the Solar bandwagon. Although solar customers got better incentives for selling extra solar energy back to PG&E under NEM 2.0 in California (before April 2023), we wanted solar to have battery backup in the case of an outage. Our neighborhood has had numerous blackouts over the past few years, and with a young toddler at home it's extra inconvenient. To add insult to injury, PG&E is the inly game in town and electricity costs seem to always go up. Solar helps defray the electricity cost while charging up a backup battery for your house. I chose Got Watts from a coworker's referral. There are tons of Solar Companies out there and lots of horror stories. My coworker is an extremely thorough engineer so I trusted his rec. I went with a 10-panel (4 kw) system with Tesla Powerwall 3 battery. The entire project took about 2 months to plan, engineer, secure permits and maybe 3 part-time days to install, commission, and startup. Got Watts deserve 5 stars as the managed the entire process and communicated throughout the process. Their crews were professional and did excellent work. Specific Shoutouts: 1. Samantha is the first point of contact to size and price out your system. She used your annual PG&E statement and Google Earth to calculate number of panels and optimum placement of panels based on solar radiation patterns specific to your home. 2. Chris came out a few days later and used a cool drone to scan the roof and to examine the location of the electric panels, breakers, and garage layout. The position of the Powerwall Battery and Gateway were determines. 3. Mallory was the permit specialist and communication contact who also helped with scheduling. They handle ALL the paperwork and approvals - you just make sure to write checks for each milestone. 4. After two months or so, installation day arrived. They sent a 3-person roofing crew (led by Justin?) and later two electricians (Alex and Dan?). In about 6 hours the panels, gateway, battery, and steel conduit and connections were all done. The mostly worked outside and in the garage, and had to access our attic for some connections. Power outage was near the end and only lasted an hour or so. 5. Alex came back the same week and spent another 2-3 hours finishing up the wiring. 6. Finally, Marc came out the following week to commission, configure, and startup the system. We also managed to get our City Inspector scheduled same day to review and approve the system. Startup had some hiccups due to IT issues but Marc managed to fix it with Tesla Customer Support. The whole process took maybe 4 hours. Highly recommend Got Watts for Solar. It is an investment but for me, the peace-of-mind to have power during blackout and brownouts is worth it, and I'm not 100% confident PG&E will get better. Its also nice to see our future electric bills drop. The payback period will vary - maybe 8 years or so which isn't too bad considering the battery is supposed to last 20 years and the panels maybe 25 years.

    I recently worked with Got Watts for the installation of Solar Panels, Tesla Powerwall 3 (Energy Storage) and an upgrade to my electric panel. From my initial inquiry to the final completion, the entire process was professional, thorough, and efficient. The Sales Process: I initially contacted Got Watts on 3/15/2024 for an estimate. By 3/20/2024, I had a virtual meeting with Samantha to discuss the costs and system configuration. Samantha was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. It was entirely because of her expertise and insight that I decided to move forward with Got Watts. She highlighted concerns about my older electric panel that no other company had mentioned, which gave me the confidence that Got Watts knew what they were doing. On 4/4/2024, I signed the purchase agreement. Shortly after, the Electrical Foreman, Chris, came out to perform a site assessment and flew his drone over the roof to check its condition. His thorough inspection gave me peace of mind. Shout-out to the Team: Danny and Eli handled the bulk of the work, including the installation of the Tesla Powerwall 3, roof connections for solar panels and the electrical work (upgrade main and sub panel). They were highly skilled and worked diligently to complete the project. A separate Got Watts crew came in to install the solar panels quickly and efficiently as well. Although there were a few administrative hiccups that extended the completion time a bit, Got Watts handled everything smoothly. When I reached out to the owner, Jeremy, about my concerns, he was attentive. He checked with his staff to determine the cause of the delay and addressed the issue promptly. I appreciated his willingness to investigate and resolve the situation. Mark was also fantastic, meeting with the County Inspector for the work sign-off and meter release. He was very helpful and took the time to explain the system and what was happening with the inspections. Final Steps and Solar Panel Maintenance: The system was completed and ready to go by July 18, 2024. However, I had to wait for PG&E to finalize everything on their end. On 8/1/2024, I got the go-ahead, and the system was placed into operation. Solar Panel Cleaning: After having my house painted, I was concerned about overspray or dust accumulating on the solar panels, so I decided to have them cleaned. I reached out to Jeremy (Got Watts Employee), who offers panel cleaning services at a very reasonable rate, and he arranged a time to come by. He did an excellent job cleaning the panels, and I highly recommend this service for anyone looking to maintain their solar system. Payment Note: One minor inconvenience was that I was unable to pay by credit card or any digital payment method, like Cash App or similar services. The large invoices could only be paid via personal check, which made the process a bit less convenient. Overall, Got Watts delivered excellent service with a knowledgeable and responsive team. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a company that will walk you through every step of the process and ensure that all your concerns are addressed.

    Ask the Community - Got Watts Electric Solar & HVAC

    We have solar panels already installed but the contractor failed to get a permit and inspection. Can you help us with this process of retroactively getting a permit and inspection done? What would that involve, and how much would it cost?

    The FAQ suggests existing ductwork can't be reused when installing a heat pump for central air (in my case would be replacing a furnace.) Is this only for flexible ducting or does this also include rigid ducting that is preexisting as well? Thanks

    Already have solar but need battery backup?

    We can pair your system with a Tesla Powerwall to provide back up power

Finally, Kara engaged and we got the Permission to Operate about two months after the install. Supposedly Jeff (the Business Owner) is no longer with the company and has gone back East, so not sure who is leading their future efforts. For future customers: hang on to a portion of the payment till the Permission to Operate is received not just the installation.

    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.

We absolutely love having battery backup especially from 4 to 9 PM when PG&E charges the highest peak rate in the Continental U.S. California has the second-highest electricity rates in the U.S., (only behind Hawaii) which makes receiving power from the sun especially rewarding.

Ryan and the Northstar team were absolute champs at removing and reinstalling the new system for us. Everyone we dealt with was so professional, kind and easy going. The work was beautifully done and based on all the photos and detail provided by Ryan I am confident we will be safe from leaks going forward. He also had to coordinate the reinstall with our roofer and everyone handled it so well. I 100% recommend Northstar and the team for this task, and also wouldn't hesitate to hire them for roofing based on their strong work ethic and product with our solar project. The price was fair and in line with other quotes I'd received. A couple of questions unrelated to this particular job have come up and Ryan has gone above and beyond to help me out by providing his professional input. So happy with these guys. Thank you!

She responded to our questions and concerns within a few hours - and made arrangements for all the inspections required for our city.

    I couldn't be happier with my experience with Solar Sesame…read more My situation was a little more complicated than most because I already had an existing leased solar system under NEM 2 that I wanted to preserve. That meant my new system needed to be designed as a non-export system with battery storage. Before choosing Solar Sesame, I had already received three other quotes. My existing provider kept pushing another leased system where I'd continue paying per use. While it was cheaper than PG&E, it was significantly more expensive over the long run than owning the system myself. Another provider told me they couldn't fit enough panels on my roof to meet my energy needs and recommended much more expensive alternatives. A third provider quoted nearly 40% more than another installer for essentially the same system. Solar Sesame stood out immediately. They designed a system that fit all the panels I needed on my roof, met my energy goals, and came in at the best overall price. They also went above and beyond when the federal tax credit rules were changing. They were able to structure the project in a way that effectively preserved those benefits for me, which I really appreciated. Originally, I planned to install just one Tesla Powerwall. After doing more research, I decided I wanted two. I found a competitive online offer, and without any hassle, Solar Sesame matched it by adding the second battery at a heavily discounted price. That flexibility and willingness to work with me made a big impression. Throughout the entire project, the team was transparent, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. There were a few delays, but they were all related to the PG&E process rather than Solar Sesame. Now that everything is up and running, I'm extremely happy with the system. The installation looks great, my electric bills have been dramatically reduced, and I feel confident I chose the right company. If you're shopping around for solar, I highly recommend talking with Solar Sesame. They earned my business by offering the best combination of value, expertise, transparency, and customer service.
