    My system working to power my home without the need to pull from the grid. Screw PG&E!
    Jen L.

    Building a custom home in the Bay Area taught me a lot. The city of Hayward refused to release my electric meter until after solar was installed. I contacted multiple companies and after getting pricing and information I decided to move forward with Nabu. I liked that they do not work on commission which allowed their price to be $10k lower than the others for the same products. The most important part to me was the service. I needed everything ASAP to keep construction on track and they jumped through so many hoops and maintained communication. I was rushing to get the system installed before the end of the year to get the tax credit before it ended. Nabu had their team at my house on New Years Eve to ensure we met the deadline. They even contacted me after to make sure everything went according to plan and we DID get the tax credit which was $15k! I have a black metal roof and Nabu even painted the conduit pipes black instead of leaving them silver to ensure it looked amazing. I highly recommend Nabu!

    Pratik G.

    Awesome experience with Nabu energy in getting solar and battery system installed. Team was very professional from get go. Installation was high quality and lowest in cost compared to other quotes. Highly recommend going with them for any solar installation.

    5 stars, and I'd give more if I could. I came to Nabu Energy on a friend's recommendation for what I thought would be a straightforward solar panel reinstall. Nabu took my project from start to finish and turned a complicated situation into a seamless experience. The wrinkle: my original inverters had been discontinued, which meant a standard reinstall wasn't an option. Rather than pushing me toward a full replacement, The engineering team at Nabu found a way to keep my existing panels -- which were still in great shape -- and upgrade the system to dual Tesla Powerwalls. They managed the design approval with PG&E and handled all the coordination I didn't want to deal with. Going into this, Powerwalls weren't on my radar. The engineering team made a clear, honest case for why they made sense long-term, and once I ran the numbers with federal incentives factored in, it was hard to argue. I ended up with a significantly better system than I started with and didn't blow my budget to get there. The installation quality is excellent -- clean, professional, and exactly what you'd want. Check out the photo I attached. If you need solar work done and want someone who will actually think through your situation, Go with Nabu

    Had my solar system: solar + battery installed in 2025. Overall quite satisfied with Nabu's services. They are local companies and I like to work with local installers. Price: Nabu's offer has better value vs the other 2 good-review local installers I spoke with. Although slightly higher than a larger regional brand, I still prefer local installers. Services: installation/permit process was overall smooth. Project manager kept me updated. And they were quite reasonable with all my personal, detailed requests during installation. I did have some hiccups on installation appointment and needed reschedule. I called Bhushan, he always took care of it. Product: solar/rec panel is strong in my area and tesla powerwall3 performs as expected. No complaints so far. My tip: consider getting 2 power wall3 batteries if you have the budget and the math of value return works out. My solar often max out battery in daytime and has to export quite some to pg&e. Know-how: from my experience, the owner and sales: Bhushan is quite knowledgeable on their product and offering, this is quite distinctive from all other companies I spoke with. Bhushan answered all my technical questions and concerns, with good faith and honesty. For reference, my installation time line: Contract signed on feb 1st, system online on May 15.

    We have had an Enphase solar installation for 10 years now, which has always worked beautifully…read more However, due to regular PG&E outages in our area (Fremont, CA), we decided to add a backup battery to the system. After careful research, we chose Highlight Solar (HS) to handle this installation. We chose the Franklin battery, and Highlight Solar came out to handle the installation in Nov 2025. Sadly, we had some serious issues with the functionality of our solar infrastructure, after the Franklin equipment was installed... the Enphase solar monitoring device (called Envoy) started having trouble communicating with the panels, and therefore would disable them. HS made a couple of different attempts to fix this issue (which was delayed when they went on vacation for a month), so I had to keep cycling the breaker for the panels every morning to get the system working for another day. Fortunately, they were persistent in pursuing the issue, and after returning from vacation in late January, Samir came out and spent a couple of hours on the phone with Enphase support, who suggested a possible solution for this issue. HS then had someone come out to implement Enphase's suggestion, and now my system is working solidly and reliably (Feb 2026). I'm glad HS didn't just give up on us; I'm sure they were just as frustrated as we were by this situation. We certainly didn't expect this to take three months to resolve, but it is working now.

    We met with multiple solar companies and settled on Highlight due to both the great recommendations…read moreas well as our experience during the initial process. We asked a LOT of questions, then we asked more, and then some more. Ali, our salesman, remained patient and communicated thoroughly via email or phone, and at all hours even after we had signed the paperwork. The installation process was honestly better than the sales process. The combination of Chris (the foreman who found a solution for all our requests) and his team which worked in awful weather to get our project installed on schedule were amazing. Our inspection, and final handoff were handled by Samir, who answered even more questions, and made sure we were fully set up. From end to end we had a great experience with Highlight Solar and will recommend them as they were to us. Pro tips: If you get a battery you will need to store it until it is installed. Your solar data might not show up on the app for 24-48 hours after installation...don't panic, it will show up eventually and you will see the money you are not spending with PG&E.

Because of the good experience I had with having Clean Solar install panels at my house I reached out to them to see if they would service panels installed by another, and thankfully they accepted the job. After some back and forth with their customer support, they remotely assessed that the inverter failed and they would install a new one for a reasonable price. Clean Solar employee Jose arrived early for the install and he was very polite and relatable. He replaced the inverter and did not leave until he made sure that the system was back up and running and production was being reported in the app. I recommend Clean Solar to anyone needing their panels serviced or to install a new system. Jose is an excellent employee and my mom had a great experience working with him.

We needed to add panels because we purchase an EV and needed more solar to offset PG&E. The impeccable experience started with Art the consultant, he gave 4 scenarios and explained in detail what each means and provided detail report including all the tech details and break even timing. To be honest, it was too much for me, I really just wanted pricing and how long it takes to install haha but was good to know he has such knowledge and I was confident he is looking out for my best interest. Then we had Patrick the PM, arrived for site inspection on time and courteous and explained the whole process. Then come the impressive installation team Luis, Alberto and Kevin. The 3 arrived on time and with smiles, just overall a great vibe from them. Luis walked me through the installation plan and gave a few choices taking into consideration aesthetics of the house and then got to work. 4 hours later, clean line, fine craftsmanship and symmetrical matching placement from last system is in place and ready to tangle with PG&E (attaching some photos) I really really can't recommend any higher to go with Clean Solar on your solar projects. Seamless is what you'll experience with them. Until next time Clean Solar!

Then I just google searched & found this company with 5* rating and thought of giving it a try. What happened: When I called 'Pacific Edge Electric & Solar' it went into voice mail, but within 2 minutes I got a text message - " we will be calling you in 10 minutes". I was so surprised by their fast response as I tried connected with other companies as well and never got response from them. Adem from Pacific Edge called me in few minutes and he asked me what's the issue. I explained him & he assured me that he will stop by within few hours. Then a representative called me and took the details from me. It was very fast moving service & response from their end. Their services: Adem texted me the time frame when he will be coming. He came & inspect everything max within 15 minutes and found the issue. Fixed it. & he explained me the issue - why it happened & how it needs to be fixed. Also he charged a nominal fee. I was extremely happy with his prompt service starting from responding me. He considered it as priority work & made it done.

    After contacting several solar companies, we decided to go with Tokamak Solar (now Pacific Edge…read moreElectric and Solar) for our residential solar project. One of the main reasons we chose them was their ability to complete the installation before the end of 2025, which allowed us to take advantage of the tax incentive (we did receive the tax credit in 2026). Their pricing was also competitive. Overall, the project went well. There were some periods when communication could have been more consistent, especially regarding updates and timelines. However, whenever we followed up, they were responsive and ultimately addressed the issues. In the end, the project was completed in a timely manner, and when we encountered issues with the system, they did take care of them.
