    One row of LG panels. Panels are producing the expected numbers even in the winter months.

    Very positive experience with Sam. I highly recommend Green Energy EPC and being a thorough, inquisitive customer myself, I would be happy to answer any questions about the process for those vetting and searching for that ideal company to go with. My experience with Sam and Green Energy EPC: 1. Very easy to communicate with. Text, phone call, in person, the list goes on. A good salesman should always pick up their phone. Sam never missed a call. 2. Very competitive pricing and straight to the point. No time spent asking all these invasive questions that other solar companies did. When I already knew what I wanted and asked other companies for a quote... they would stick me through this long, tedious process of questions and person-transferring that led to weeks for a quote. The consumer guide recommends you get 3 quotes before signing. I got 8 different quotes from San Diego companies and no one was as easy as Sam. 4. Time was of the essence. Contract signing, install and PTO (permission to operate) - I don't want to set up an expectation for everyone but from the day I signed my contract to the day I got my email from SDGE with PTO was 7 days. Yes, 7 days. Many of my friends took at least 8 weeks to get PTO from contract signing. If you go with Tesla, good luck trying to get an expedited process. One of my friends went with a big solar company in San Diego and it took them almost a YEAR to get PTO. He actually went to Afghanistan and came back before getting solar. So his panels were just getting dirty and making zero electricity while waiting for his installer to push the paperwork through. Once again, 7 days to get my 24 panels on (~9kW system) with net metering from SDGE. The choice is yours...

    Sam and his team do a great job at solar installation. That means: -on time and on schedule -fast, efficient, and tidy -friendly workers that speak English -conscious that they are in and on your home -best quality equipment out there -affordable and a great value -no pressure to "upgrade" anything I recently hired Green Energy EPC to install a solar system on two homes. The system had been designed by Charlie Johnson of Wipomo http://www.yelp.com/biz/wipomo-san-diego?hrid=Bc5IbgVQN2TowSi3voc45w&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) who gave me various options to consider based on my future energy needs. The team did a great job, at a competitive price, and Sam (the owner) was available to answer questions at any time. I highly recommend Green Energy EPC. Don't get them confused with different companies: US Green Energy or Icarus Green Energy. These are not the same folks, and they won't give you the same level of service provided by Green Energy EPC.

    My backyard now looks more hi-tech with the solar system installed by Green Energy!

    Green Energy provided me great service! Sam, the owner, was the project manager and the site engineer. The service was completely turnkey. They took care of the permitting and the inspection with the city. Within 3 days the installation was complete and in less than 2 weeks the system was up and running and connected to the grid. I am able to view my system energy output through a phone App anytime I want and I have an account with SDG&E to view my usage compared to the energy I make. Sam was very helpful and informative throughout the whole process. I am very satisfied with their work. My SDG&E energy bill for the last 5 months has reduced to a total of $40!!! I highly recommend Green Energy EPC to anyone. Installation in September 2013.

    I'm very glad that I chose Green Energy EPC in the end for my rooftop solar system. Sam and his entire team were great from beginning to the end. All the positive terms to describe satisfying experience are applicable here; professionalism, friendly, courteous, prompt, patience, flexible, knowledgeable, attention-to-detail, above-and-beyond.... Other solar installers will only do panel installation but Green Energy EPC is geared to provide solutions, for both current and future. While others won't touch AC Coupling (battery backup for going off-the-grid, EV charging storage or other purposes), Sam proudly showed me the system that he was working on. Tan, the project manager, spent several hours up in my attic to make sure that all the drillings are done right and that the integrity of the roof is not compromised. In my community, I see many homes with naked metal conduit running down from the roof. Green Energy EPC painted my conduit (I provided the paint) to blend in with stucco wall. I could go on and on but will simply say this; if you're going solar, you can't go wrong with Green Energy EPC.

    Sam and his crew.

    Sam contacted SDG&E and had them survey the existing wire and we found that it was already rated for 200Amp.

    We lived in SD (California). The following are the schedules (in 2022) for our Tesla Solar Panels…read more 5/6 ordered 5/15 Got design and request to redesign 6/10 Got updated design 7/19 Roof Assessment 7/26 Schedule to install but need to replace of roof 9/30 Reroof done and re-schedule for installation 10/14 installation done! 10/25 PTO Without the delay for re-design and re-roof, it should be completed within 2 months. During the process, we asked a lot of questions to project advisor. He answered each of my questions in 24 hrs and somethings few hours. The installations were good and professional for our project. It took only 6 days after the installation to get PTO. It was quite efficient. Overall, they did a very good job for our solar system and its cost is almost half of the other competitors. In terms of cost and quality, it would be the one of the best choices for a solar system.

    The customer service I've experienced has been extremely disappointing. For the past 10 months,…read moreI've experienced repeated delays- appointment scheduled months out, only to be told at the time of service that another part needs to be ordered, which add several more months of waiting. Because I didn't purchase a performance guarantee package I'm expected to absorb all the cost despite these delays being entirely on the company side. It's clear the company is aware of these issues yet chooses not to address them. I find it unacceptable that they continue to operate this way, charging customers for services they fail to deliver.

    I procrastinated getting solar for way too long, and I'm really glad I finally did it through Aloha…read moreSolar Power. They installed a full solar panel system plus two Tesla Powerwall batteries for us, and the entire process was excellent from start to finish. They were very straightforward, easy to work with, and never overly salesy, which I really appreciated. The install went smoothly, and the crew, Jorge, Isaac, Cesar, D'lo, and Thomas, did an awesome job. Gabe, the owner, has also been super responsive with any questions along the way. I had a really positive experience and would definitely recommend Aloha Solar Power to anyone considering solar.

    First off, we did not taking getting solar lightly. We spoke to about 8 different companies in…read moreperson (Semper, Baker, Stellar, Optimum, and a couple others I can't remember now). First and foremost Gabe at Aloha Solar was the ONLY one where it didn't feel sales pitchy. He went to college for this, believe he grew up off grid on Maui and you can tell right away he's knowledgeable and a straight shooter. Not to mention he had the best pricing and deal out of every other company! Gabe made us feel comfortable with our decision, gave us all the information we wanted, and actually drove out to our house multiple times to chat when we had additional questions and concerns. Is Aloha a smaller company, yes, but will Gabe answer your call when needed, yes! Fast forward install happened within a couple weeks of signing the deal. Minas was the head installer it seemed (all people are internal employees with Aloha and work is NOT contracted out, that was a big seller for us), and two other guys Rigo and Matt. All were super nice and very professional. Minas walked me through everything at the end, and major bonus points once he installed the piping going from battery to roof, he asked if I had paint that matched the exterior of my house. I did, and he then painted all of the piping! I know he did not have to do that, so that was a fantastic touch. If you're thinking about solar, trust me, I did the research and I spoke to all of the sales people. GO WITH ALOHA! You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks to Gabe and the team!
