Right from the beginning, Nick gave me a very competitive offer that I didn't need to negotiate like with other solar companies. When I didn't respond, no one form green conception bugged me for couple weeks unlike some other sales person that calls every other day. The installation time in my contract was30 days after HOA approval, but green conception installed within a week, and got city and SCE approval in 10 days which is very helpful giving the heat and blackout right now. Project manager Jose was very professional and everything was done perfectly. They even painting the power line to match my house. My system has been running for few days now and it's producing 10% electricity more than what green conception had projected. read more

Things started off well - the panels were less than at Tesla, and they kept us well informed of where they were at with the process of installation and permits, etc. Once the new electric panel (the one with breakers that is on your house) was connected we started having issues with a specific breaker tripping. No problem, we were told, once the inspection is done, we'll fix that. We also had to pay to have a ditch dug to bury the power lines, as this was a new requirement from LADWP. So, not Green Conception's fault, but still an unexpected cost. They arranged for a private contractor to do this, and again - we were told, once the inspection is done, they'll fill it in and put it back to how it was. Where are we now? Yes, inspections have been done - solar is connected, and the ditch was *mostly* filled back in. But - even after numerous phone calls, and emails, we can only vacuum for a few minutes before the breaker trips, and the front yard is still not put back. I haven't tried to vacuum today, so I'm less irritated right now than if I'd had to reset the breaker 3-4 times to clean one room but it's pretty frustrating (without exaggeration, this is what happens). Needless to say, we are disappointed and would have trouble recommending them. read more

The contract stated that job would be complete three months ago! My wife and I purchased a 10 kW system based on our estimated consumption. Now, we will be paying for 3 months worth of electricity without the solar. Maybe more! Still waiting approval from the electric company. Green Conception filled the application incorrectly on three occasions. We really wanted to give them more business by purchasing a Tesla Power wall. Hopefully, we will finish soon. I'll update this review at the end of the job. read more

Hello Yelpers, I want to share with you the great experience we had with Green Conception. After interviewing many companies to find the right company to complete the 13kw system which consists of (39 LG Panels) for my family (party of 6), we chose Green Conception. I started my research by interviewing all those well known venders with cost by cost comparisons. I had them analyze the family use of power, they were designing a smaller system. I received a larger system from Green Conception for almost the same cost. Owner, Nick and Salesperson, Brett were interviewed in regards to my solar needs. I was honest with them and mentioned that I had met with multiple companies and asked for the bottom rock price. Nick and Brett were upfront with no negative feed back to give. They designed such a great system then I can run for years to come and was the best price out there and still kept my Federal Rebate. From start to final inspection it took less then 4 months to complete the work. The communication was always professional and we were always kept up to date with the next step. Thank you Nick and his crew for such a great job and professional and organized workers. I'm rating this company, Green Conception 5 stars on my book. Great team (Andre and Jose) read more

A long time coworker recommended Green Conception to me, as I was lost with so many choices. Very competitive, and actually beat 2 other bids that we received elsewhere. Be wary of companies pushing "one-size-fits-all" packages. GC provided a custom system designed around our home and our specific needs. They even installed 2 EV 220V charging outlets, so our 2 EV's are now powered by the sun! Clean installation, knowledgeable team, transparent pricing and professional all around. Don't get drawn in by those fancy commercials or companies partnering with larger entities. All of that extra marketing costs $$$, and you can bet it's wrapped into their pricing. Everything at GC is "in house", by an experienced team of professionals, so you won't be talking to a representative that knows little about the product (as we found with other companies out there). You're going to invest $$$, for a system that WILL pay for itself over time. Spend your hard earned $$$ wisely and go with the best. Green Conception. read more

I'm so glad I found Green Conception for my family's solar installation. I called them to make an appointment and they were very helpful. Our system was a little over 13 kW and they installed it in two days. Their site supervisor Steve was very professional. He was very attentive and was always there when we had questions. I also want to mention the attention to detail. They colored matched all the piping on the roof. The panels looked perfectly leveled. My family is happy with their job. They really care about their customers. read more

Green Conception is in the business of customer satisfaction! I needed to paint the exterior of my home , so looked online for local painting contractors. I spoke to a humble gentlemen who set an appointment to come down and provide me with an estimate. Very proffesional and courteous. Out of three contractors I felt very comfortable with Tony as he seemed knowledgable and addressed my needs on how to go about my project. There pricing was very competitive and spoke to referances before signing. The job was completed in the time frame given but most importantly noticed the excellent detailed work. All there workers were on time and very coordinated. They used special paint on my home, to prevent future cracks and detioration. Overall had a great experience and reccomend them to all my family and friends. Thank you Green Conception and continue the excellent work! read more

We may be the first house in Palm Springs that Green Conception has done, and there were a few snafus to get through. It seems like the city made it difficult for them in various ways that I don't even understand. However, we have finally got our permit approved and turned it on last week (early May). The panels were installed quickly and professionally by Andre and his crew in mid-March. So it took a month for the company to work through whatever issues they had, and although we did have several tense conversations with Nick, I have to say, he really hung in there and got it done. Working with Brett Hershey and Andre initially was easy and delightful. read more

I did thorough research on solar panels and installers before I chose Green Conception in June 2022. I'm on the board for my gated community and asked my neighbors about their experience of purchasing/leasing solar. Everyone had stories of being oversold (more panels than they needed), long delay times (shortest was 4 months and longest was 1 year) before their panels passed inspection and were up and running and damage to the roof by the installers. Valerie at Green Conception was very transparent about the pricing - most solar companies quote you a payment based on the assumption that you will pay down your loan with the Federal tax credit - and her honesty was what sold me. Nick was great at explaining the product, process and securing the financing. Jose came out right away and inspected my roof and I was installed within a week and both City and LADWP inspections passed within another two weeks. In less than a month, my solar panels were up and running, just in time for this heat wave! I would highly recommend Green Conception for transparency, professionalism and expertise. read more

For the last 15 years I have looked in to the solar option. With a large house with 4 four ton air conditioning units our electric bill has been insane. There has never been a company that offered a 100% solution before I met the guys at Green Conception... We now have a ZERO electricity bill and we are producing over 100kwh per day. From the very beginning when I spoke with the sales manager Art and got his fast non pressured quote to when the owner Nick came out and re-evaluated my needs at which point he added more panels to the project at no additional costs we have been thrilled with the job they have done. Andre coordinated everything with the installation team who put up almost 70 panels. The installers color matched all of the stucco and conduits as though it was part of the original design of our house. All phone calls / questions are answered with a live member of the team and they always have a knowledgeable answer, If need be Nick and Andre come out themselves, AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE..... read more

Called Green Conception after speaking to my neighbor about his install. These guys take their work serious from start to finish. They were very honest about the timeframe and upfront about the inspection process. There were no hidden fees after the initial quote. The installers were very friendly and professional when coming in. I would definitely recommend them for anybody going solar. It makes financial sense, especially over leasing a system. read more

Unfortunately i decided a knew avenue but if there is a need, i would definitely call them out again. Great customer service and response back to all my questions. The only complaint i have is that i wish they gave me the best option to the minimum option. This lead to many of my questions and confusion. I also wish the warranty was better explained in the beginning but again everything was answered up front allowing me to make best judgment. Thank you read more

So happy solar finally makes sense and I can't say enough good things about Green Conception! Our solar panels are up and running on top of our house (I was worried how they would look, but I actually like them). Nick and his team walked us through the whole process and the installers were very polite! We did our research and felt Green Conception offered the best value - I'm glad we didn't go with the low-ball estimates or cheap panels seeing now that it's really part of our house. Would highly recommend. read more

Green Conception - Our house is powered by the sun! - Solar Installation Near Me - La Crescenta-Montrose, California

Missed deadlines (every step), primary contact unresponsive for a week at a time (twice), plan submission errors resulting in more delays. I kept being told "its because of the rain", however, rain doesn't prevent drawings, plans, approvals, and additional paperwork to be completed (which was all late and/or incorrect) so it was just an attempt at an excuse. There were some efforts made at the end by their operations manager, however, even then it was lacking urgency at times. Their pricing was good but you get what you pay for. read more

I found Green Conception on Yelp and from several companies I got a quote from they were the only ones that took the time to tell me the difference between lease and purchase and why they don't lease solar systems. I feel like they are honest, experienced and fair. Also they only use US Made panels, inverters and racking systems. I asked them why they don't offer other none US Made products and their answer was that they don't cut corners and won't install anything that was not US Made. This made me feel like these guys are true to their word and trust worthy. Their team finished installing my 10kW system with micro inverters about 3 weeks ago and I got system connected a week ago. I highly recommend Green Conception for their work and straight forward approach. read more

Just passed my final inspection for my solar system thanks to the Green Conception team!!! I have to say that everyone involved from Sales to Installation, to inspections, were beyond professional. They treated us with such respect and care, the likes, honestly, that I so rarely experience. They were timely on all accounts. They followed through on all accounts. The whole process was made so easy, it almost seemed too good to be true. Waiting on the city to convert me fully over and start using my system. So unless something goes wrong, I will update my review, but if it continues to go as smoothly as it has, know that all the above is all you need to know about these guys, which is that they are phenomenal!! I highly highly recommend them!! (And believe me I shopped around!) read more

I think Solar Energy is wonderful. I think businesses that continue to call and call AND CALL AND CALL, after you have replied thank you but no thank you, hinge on harassment. How can you be so successful and not erase someone's number form the database? Every time you call someone who does not want solar panels and who does not want to exchange in giving out information over the phone, you are WASTING TIME ON people who aren't interested, when you could use that time to ask someone who you haven't called. Horrible business and some of the reps have been rude. If I were to consider Solar panels in the future, I would completely overlook this company, with prejudice! read more

Great company. Easy to work with. They installed our rooftop solar system on time and on budget. No muss no fuss. Highly recommend!

I've been very happy with Green Conception. They've been efficient, friendly and professional and their price was very competitive. I got proposals from 5 installers and choose Green Conception on a combination of price and professionalism during the process. I have not been disappointed. Installation and inspections are complete. I'm waiting on DWP to turn on the system, but that's a function of City bureaucracy, so I'll be patient. Green Conception has been on time with everything. I'll update this review when my system is on. I also had them install a car charger for me, which is operational, and with which I'm very happy. Update: DWP installed my meter last week and I'm now generating. This all happened faster than I expected. My production has been very good, everything is working out great. I'm quite satisfied. read more

Had a total of 18 panels installed on the roof along with a new main electrical panel and two 240v circuits. Very good, the work was done exactly as promised, all permits and inspections were handled by Green Conceptions. They were neat, tidy and punctual. The only surprise was the wait for LA DWP once the system was installed and signed off by Building and Safety. read more

I highly recommend Green Conception without qualifications. They installed 52 solar panels on the roof of our home, and the system was installed 2.5 years ago. We got several quotes and Nick gave us the most reasonable quote as well as the most informed discussion about what would need to be done with the electrical box etc. Nick knows the hardware, the roofing and electrical issues. He hires real professionals to do the work, who are loyal to the company, and the monitoring of the job from Nick was excellent before, during, and after the work was done During the first month after installation, there was an issue that SCE was not detecting all the power that was being generated. The error was on SCE's end, but Green Conception followed up immediately and got it resolved very quickly. Before the panels were installed we were having problems with leaks along one line of the roof. Since the panels have been installed we have not had a single leak. And that was after the rainy winter of 2016-17. While they were installing panels, the tiles kept breaking since they were not high quality--they broke just by stepping on them. The installation team replaced all the broken tiles, including the ones broken prior to their installation (ie the Christmas lights people broke a bunch of them that we only found out about while inspecting prior to the solar installation.) I do recommend having the most panels installed that you can. In our first year we came out ahead with the net metering, but in the second year (with the cloudy winter) we came out exactly even. I also recommend a roof inspection with them prior to the installation so that you have photos to refer to later if you wonder if they are responsible for something. I recommend keeping track of your generation since the problem with SCE not detecting what we were generating would have gone unnoticed without the Enphase tracking system. read more

I had gained interest in going solar. Green Conception sent a sale's rep very quickly to look at my property and give me a quote. Other companies had charged me more, persuading me to use more panels. Green Conception was honest, told me exactly what I needed for my energy consumption, was very thorough, didn't rush me in my decision making processes, and actually provided a great price. They're very professional, easy to reach for questions, and completed the project in a very timely fashion. I am truly glad I chose to work with this company. read more

To go green is much more than turning off the faucet when your brushing your teeth or 'recycling', it actually takes much time and effort to be eco-friendly. That is why my family and I decided to go with solar panels, it is probably one of the greatest investments we have made as a family. Green Conception made this possible! They had the right price, the right service, and unbeatable quality of work. I highly recommend this company, they were friendly and professional. Now my extended family members have hired them! Thank you Green Conception! read more

These people know what they are doing. If your thinking about getting solar panels call Green Conception!!!! I highly recommend.

After 6 weeks of receiving the run around by other installers, I was fed up and decided to continue shopping around. From the day I called for a quote, Nick (Very professional and considerate of my frustration) came out the next day, had my invoice ready the same night and had the project completed in two weeks after my payment cleared! I'm very happy and satisfied with green conception and the quality of their work and would recommend them for any solar project! read more

Finding a business you can trust to do a good job is really hard. When I was looking for a place that could help me go green and save energy, I came across green conceptions. After meeting with these guys I knew I found the right people to do the job. They were the nicest, most professional workers. They did a great job with the installation, even kept the work area clean! All I know is that the guys at green conception are awesome and I recommend them to anyone whose interested in getting solar panels. Thank you green conceptions! read more

Nick at Green Conception and his team are very knowledgeable, they came out gave me a quote, and thoroughly inspected my roof and discussed what was needed and what my options were. Each time i had a question they responded to me immediately. Nick ensured that i was well informed throughout the process. I would certainly hire Green Conception again and would recommend them to everyone. read more

I heard about Green Conception from a friend that installed solar on his income properties. I decide to contact them and get a quote for my buildings. Considering my busy schedule I like the fact they asked me if I would prefer an on site or off site quote. I choice the off site and in less than a two hours there was a preliminary propsal in my inbox. I respect the fact that their entire team was respectful with my time and need for details. I decided to get solar on all my commercial properties with Green Conception and after waiting to get SCE connect and do final inspection my system is on and making me money. The process from signing contract until receiving my final was effortless and their project manager Andre was on top of things and updated me on the entire phase of the project. These guy's are knowledgeable, professional and most importantly honest! read more

Prior to signing on the dotted line, I did a lot of research on the various components of a solar system. There are many variables, but ultimately I felt the most comfortable with the package I got from G.C. I appreciated Nick walking me through the process and by the time work was started I trusted 100% that everything was going to be ok. The installation team was the best I could ever hope for. They were Clean,fast,complete,friendly,trustworthy and smart. Oh, my bill was slashed by much more than we even thought! read more

Thanks to Brett Hershey, Andre Babujyan and the whole crew at Green Conception I'm producing more energy than I am consuming all for around the same price I was paying the electric company. Not to mention the environmental benefits. Brett was extremely patient with us and our many questions and concerns and was quick to respond with answers. Andre and the installation crew were prompt and did a professional job start to finish. Thanks again Green Conception I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about solar read more

After several weeks of research and talking with people from various solar companies, I decided to go with Green Conception. With Green Conception I was dealing with Nick directly, the person at the top, rather than having to go through subordinates. Since Nick is the president of the company, he is very conscientious about his business. With a couple of the other companies that I spoke to I felt that I was only speaking to the "salesman" who was more interested in closing the deal. I was afraid that once I signed the deal I would get lost in the shuffle and not receive the personal attention. I even had one salesman request that I sign the agreement even before meeting with him. At our first meeting Nick explained the whole process to my husband and I. Nick took care of all the details with the LADWP such as the filings of the forms for rebates, etc. He was readily available to answer any questions we had. The installation process started the week after we signed the agreement. It went very smoothly with little disruption to our home and the project was completed within three weeks from signing to completion of installation. I have talked with other friends who also had recent solar installations and they were very surprised that ours was completely installed in such a short period of time. They chose a larger well-known company and it took a few months before the installation had even started. At this point we are not up and running since the LADWP has a six to eight-week waiting period for the final changeover of the meter. Nick did inform us at the beginning of the process that this would be the only delay since he has no control over the LADWP. Needless to say, we were very pleased with the service and professionalism that we received from Solar Conception and would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Terrible company! I hated how unprofessional they were. Also they quoted me an outrageous amount. Their sales people were pushy and trying to force a project on me. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. read more

I was contacting 10 different solar contractor and obtain their bid. For the same solar product, the price for constructing the solar is vary by a lot. The reason I selected Green Conception for my solar project is their excellent yelp review comments (5 star rating and very happy customer) and of course their price is very competitive. The project went very smoothly and get the PTO from SCE August 4th, 2015. By connecting to the SCE web site, I see everyday the meter is going backward. What I like about Nick and Andre is that they always return my call or text if I have questions or concern regarding the project, I AM A HAPPY CUSTOMER AND RECOMMEND THEM FOR EVERYBODY WHO IS GOING SOLAR. GIVE THEM A CALL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SOLAR FOR YOUR HOME. read more

My husband and I had been looking for solar panels for a while now for our new home. We called several places but none of them seemed right. We had a tight budget considering that we had just purchased our home and have a lot of expenses. Each place we would go would give us a quote that was so expensive, we just couldn't afford it. But one of our close friends referred us to Green Conception and I am so glad they did. We had arranged an appointment to meet with Nick to get a quote and see what it would cost us to install panels on our home, and I have to say, these guys really helped us out. They came to our home, and based off what we needed and how much energy we used, they helped us figure out what we would need. They took us step by step into the cost, the time it would take to get things installed and started up, how much we would save compared to how much we would be spending without solar panels. They really showed us how it all works and took us through the process which my husband and I greatly appreciated. Once we had all the numbers and paperwork figured out, we got set up to install the solar panels. These guys worked so quickly and efficiently! Not to mention how good they were at clean up! There was no mess after the installation, which I was really happy about. It's been a few months since we had finished our installation and I am very happy with the job the guys at Green Conception did.I recommend this company to everyone! You guys won't regret it!! read more

I had a full solar install at my house by Green Conception. Nick is very nice and knowledgeable. the only reason this is not 5 stars is because we had a bit of a hiccup during the install with one of the workers. Nick resolved the issue and we were back on track, however the worker made the same mistake the following day which caused some additional problems. Again Nick resolved and took care of the issue. I would recommend Green Conception for solar install. One thing that has really stood out with me about Green Conception that has meant a lot. I have had a few questions subsequent to installing the panels and the work being long since finished and every single time Nick has gotten back to me immediately. I can't underscore immediately enough. This has really impressed me with the follow up service I have gotten from Nick. A lot of times once a job is finished the contractor disappears and that has not been the case with Nick. read more

I called quite a few places for info on solar panels and this company was the most professional with the best prices. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to set there house up with solar panels! read more

I've done a lot of research on energy efficiency and how to reduce the usage in my house so I can save some extra money and help the environment too. And after looking into it, I came across this place and said why not just call and get a quote to see what my options are. These guys took the time to come to my house, check out what I'm working with, and they talked and explained in detail what I would need and how the process would work. Some places would try to rip you off and tell you that you need more than what you really do just so they could make some money. But these guys, they were honest and told me straight out what I needed and didn't try to sell me anything extra. After taking everything into consideration and looking into their solar panels (which are all U. S. Manufactured and great quality might I add), I decided to do it! It took a week and half to get the panels installed on my roof. I'm very glad I made the decision to go solar. If you're looking for a way to save some money, get good quality solar panels and work with an experienced and honest team, call Green Conception. read more

I purchased my system through Green Conception and it's been a great experience. Everyone I have spoken with is friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. Nick and Andre answer their phone all the time. It's rare these days and refreshing. The proposal and process was easy to understand. They made my investment as convenient as possible. I've saved money all summer and I couldn't be happier not to wait any longer. read more

I've had lots of companies approach me about installing solar panels on my home. All of them seemed shady (excuse the pun). Then I talked to Vladimir at Green Conception. For the first time, I was dealing with someone who actually listened to my concerns and answered my questions. No hype. Just facts. His proposal was thorough, and the bottom line was a pleasant surprise. Best of all, there was no hard sell. Instead, he gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. This isn't the right time for my wife and I to move ahead with a project like this, but if it was, I wouldn't hesitate to use Green Conception. If you're curious about solar, contact Vladimir for a clear, concise, professional assessment of what solar can do for your home, your wallet, and the environment. read more

I had got the information about Green Conception through Solar Reviews. Once I filled up the form, I got a call from Nick to setup an appointment to discuss about installing solar in my home. Before Nick, I had spoken to atleast 5-6 installers and many were just people who were trying to market their company or product. Nick was very genuine and gave me all the information. He was able to give the right prices for the panels and micro inverters (things which I researched and found its price). I liked the way he handled my questions and even till the end, he didnt try to push the product to me. He built a system specific to my needs. I had a condition that I wanted to get this system installed asap, since I was leaving the city for a vacation. Nick promised me that he would get things done within the next two weeks including all the paperwork, since he had a few people who can try to squeeze in some time for it. This company wasnt like most contractors (who get a contract signed and try to mint as much money from the customer). Nick started the process immediately and had a clear payment schedule. He was flexible to come and collect the payments whenever I was available. The guys who came to install the panels were very friendly and I was impressed with the dedication they put to install the system. I could see that they were very proud of their work. And as promised, the system was installed within two weeks. Then came a long wait for LADWP to process the application (which is not under our control). Finally, in december they had turned on the system and it runs like a charm. I m now waiting to see my first LADWP bill. Great Job and Thank you Nick & Team. I surely recommend this team. read more
