I had a Solar Pergula installed on my property by Arka Energy who contracted the installation to KW Hour Energy. That is where the nightmare began. KW Hour Energy didnt know how to integrate the new system to my existing system, had missing wires, mis wirings, damaged by Tesla battery and cause an electrical short that blew all my subpanel breakers as well as damaged over $5000 of electronics. I would highly recommend to think twice before you use this company for your projects as Arka Energy has stopped communicating with me on the damages KWh caused and will be taking them to court. read more

We have a new construction townhome in Morgan Hill. My partner and I have virtually identical cars but planning on changing brands so we knew we wanted a universal charger. Ultimately we selected the Tesla Universal Wall Connector charger. KW Hour Energy was the first result that came up on Tesla's network on installers. I sent an email to and Kurt responded really promptly. He came out to scope the install and sent a quote. He had it done the following Monday and it worked right away, as expected. Paired with the app without issue. Would highly recommend Kurt and his crew. Very professional, excellent communication and top work. A+ read more

Electrical panel upgrade is not a trivial matter. Not only it requires deep knowledge of the wiring systems and experience, Kurt from KW HOUR Energy had to orchestrate PG&E and inspections to be at the right place at the right time. Beautifully and efficiently done. Smoothly coordinated. Well worth the money. read more

See all

Kurt and his team did a fantastic job! Starting from Kurt's pre-visit to learn about our needs and setup, through their high-quality service (always with a smile :-)), then the support and additional advice after the project completed. I enjoyed this project very much, and have Kurt and his great team to thank for that! read more

We have a unique situation, our property has a Santa Clara Valley Water District easement running through it. It turned out the 'easiest' way to install a ground mount system was to do a horizontal bore under the creek / easement. Most other Solar companies did not get involved when I mentioned that a permit is required with the Water District. We insisted on a ground mount system so that we could place the system in the most ideal orientation to ensure the panels would capture and perform at the most efficient level possible. Ensuring we would get the best return on our investment. It took us a while to agree on a plan and a price, but once we did Kurt and his team performed very well. We got a premium solar set up (panels, inverters, etc.) installed in a very timely, professional and efficient manner. Our 1st year results have been very impressive. -BillT read more

Kurt from KW Solar did an outstanding job throughout the entire quote, purchase, and installation process. I found him through the "Nextdoor" application. Kurt utilized a tool to evaluate my power consumption from PGE by day and time of use to confirm I was getting the properly sized system based on my actual power consumption. He gave me options for different brands and explained the benefits and cost differences between them all. He was competitive on his pricing and managed the installation of the system. Kurt coordinated all the permits, plans, and contracted installation. Kurt was present for all inspections with the city, and delivery of all goods and actually confirmed all parts were present from the supplier prior to starting installation to prevent delays. The whole project from contract approval to installation was approximately two weeks. His contractor Ray did an outstanding job and was very professional and thorough. They both truly care about the customers and take pride in their work. If I ever buy another home I would definitely work with Kurt again. read more

Best solar and battery backup installer out there! I highly recommend KW Hour energy for any solar needs. Kurt was diligent and responsive for the install, and was available after for questions. He hooked me up with the latest tech out there, even wowing the inspector. Now I can go off grid and save a chunk of change on my power bill while I'm at it. read more

We decided to get solar last year around August.Because we have a metal roof, we had to be sure they could install on our type of roof with the same warranties. We initially went with Petersen/Dean the roofing/window people. at the time we wanted Sun Power brand panels. After almost a year of going back and forth, and getting the run around, and NOT getting the discounts that we were supposed to get,they told us we could not get the panels we wanted, so our contract was void.Plus, the original Sun Power panels that were going to be installed were NOT the most efficient, which we had requested, but middle of the road, therefore needing more panels..more cost. However prior to that they actually tried to charge us for the roof inspection to get the solar. I'll NEVER recommend that company. Then we went to another company, and the sales man said he could have Sun Power panels put on our roof. It seemed he could never answer our questions, so were were constantly going back and forth. Finally, just before the installation, Sun Power cancelled and said they would not put those panels on our roof. At this point we were pretty fed up with solar companies, and the dishonesty. We were lucky enough to run across a guy who gave us another name and said this guy was the best and could have our solar installed quickly and efficiently, with the great guarantees as with other roofs- KW Hour Solar. Obviously after a year of run arounds and the excuses they gave us for not living up to the contract, we were skeptical, about even trying a third company. After our meeting, with the salesman (owner)Kurt Ames, we felt very comfortable. He was able to answer ALL our questions, and explained what to expect with the time frame and cost of having our solar system installed.The cost was basically the same even with the so-called discounts from Petersen/Dean and with the other company. We got our solar installed and done within a month, including, permits, installation and completion. It was connected to PG&E within two weeks from KWHour Solar.The installation went flawlessly without any issues or problems. I would highly recommend going with KWHOUR Solar. By the way the salesman, Kurt Ames was here during the installation, and made sure everything went smoothly. If we called with questions, he always called us back promptly. I forgot to mention we went with LG Panels, because they had upgraded their panels and were as efficient as Sun Power, by the time we installed solar. read more

We got our Solar Panels installed in 2019 by Sunergy Const Inc. they only worked for a year and we didn't notice until last year the beginning 2022 when we got out TruUp bill of the amount of $3000. We tried getting a hold of our solar company and no luck. A year later we finally got a hold of the manufacturer of the inverter who led us to Kurk Owner of KW Hour Energy. We called him late on Wednesday 2/15 and on Thursday 2/16/23 he was at our house after a long business trip. Kurk took care of everything from talking to the manufacturer through showing and explaining how the panels work and what to do if they shut down again. Kurk helped us set up our panels with the network showed us how the ENPHASE app works. He was an Angel sent to be honest. I wouldn't go with anyone else for our Solar needs than KW HOUR ENERGY. If you had issue with Sunergy KW HOUR ENERGY IS the company to go to to help you get your panels up and running again. Thank you Kurk A owner of KW HOUR ENERGY read more

Kurt, owner of KW Hour Solar, was professional, courteous, and prompt. Kurt was honest in his assessment of what equipment I should install, and did not try to oversell me on things I did not need. I would highly recommend KW Hour Solar if you are considering solar, as their prices are competitive and customer service is top notch. read more
