Good job they did great work and perfect and great company to work with efficiently done the job

Bottom line: Unreliable. Unprofessional. Huge waste of time. Nabu installed solar on my property for the previous owner. I reached out and talk to them about getting a quote for installing battery. I talked to the owner Nabu on the phone. He said he would send me quotes for different options for home battery. No response for a week. I followed up thru email and phone a few times over the next month. No response. I sent a request via Yelp to get quotes from various solar/battery providers. It was sent to Nabu as well and responded with a single period. Eventually we talked on the phone and signed a contract to install battery. The whole team is unprofessional. They will ask for your availability for a site visit. I sent them a few dates. No response for a week. Then they will email you a week later at 6 am saying they will be at the place at 9 am and someone has to be there for 1-2 hours. When I had a meeting over zoom to go over design. The whole team showed up 10 minutes late. Didn't even have the right system on the presentation. Their contracts were full of errors. I sent them back with corrections and didn't get any email back after over a week. I told them finally if I don't hear back within 24 hours I planned to cancel the contract. The main guy emailed and said I'll call you tonight. But nope. No call. So I spent 2 plus month trying to work with these highly unprofessional guys only because they installed the system on my house already from the previous owner. Hope you read this and save yourselves a similar frustrating experience read more

Nabu Energy is an excellent partner for new construction projects involving solar PV and energy storage. I had contact Naby energy last year for Solar installation. I wanted to do solar after my big home addition & renovation. Naby was quick to provide a very competitive quote using the best components available in the market. The engineer at Nabu had in-depth technical knowledge and was very thorough and clear in explaining various aspects of the system. He also provided guidance for new construction installs and panel upgrades. Their customer intake and quote process was also smooth. Having in-house engineers and an in-house installation team clearly sets them apart, ensuring strong coordination, technical expertise, and high-quality execution at every stage. Communication throughout the engineering and sales process was clear, timely, and effective, which made decision-making straightforward and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable solar and energy storage provider. Note: my installation hasn't been started yet due to city permitting issue, unrelated to Nabu. But Nabu has been nice to follow up periodically and provide any support needed. read more

This company is run by engineers who understand how the system works better than every other installer I talked to. They also use high quality hardware to keep the performance lasting for years. read more

I talked to Bhushan this morning about installing 3 Enphase batteries at my home. Unluckily they are tied up until year end and could not fit me into their schedule. But he took lot of his time to explain the process and suggested alternative option. Knowing that there is no business to be done with me, he still spent his valuable time to educate me about the process/options. That is a class act. I would definitely do business with this company down the road. read more

I am glad I opted for Nabu Energy to install our solar systems including Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries. We had pleasant experience throughout the planning, designing, installation and approval processes. Pricing: To start with, I received a quote that was only 60% of the cost quoted by a different vendor. Nabu Energy's proposal was based on the latest and more efficient solar panels than the competing proposals. With Nabu Energy I did not have to haggle on the pricing. I never came across a salesperson trying to sell me outdated/low-quality products for high price. Instead, I was mostly interacting with subject matter expert (SME) which only increased my confidence on Nabu Energy. Planning: Nabu Energy was very quick to complete the site survey and review the design with me on a video call. They explained me alternate choices, pros and cons and provided recommendations purely based on my interests. Installation: There were some short waiting periods with the permitting process, but other than that, once the permit was issued, Nabu Energy's project team started the installation process quickly. Once when they missed to turn up at the site on a committed date, they promptly apologized and completed the work on time despite having additional challenges of installing the panels on second floor roof while it was raining. I never had to oversee the work during the installation process. They were mostly independent. The installation team were courteous and respectful in their interactions with me and my family. They were flexible to adjust some drilling work when I told them about my office Zoom calls. I liked how they would always respond to my questions with a smile. It is hard to see such customer obsessed team in this field. While my neighbors spent 6 months or more for their solar installation, Nabu Energy completed my project in just two months. Here is the exact timeline: Sep 27 - Contract Signed Sep 30 - Survey Work Started Dec 5 - City Approval, System Operational Dec 13 - PG&E Approval (to export energy) read more

I found Nabu energy very easy to work with, and all of the people that they sent out for the different steps in the project to be very capable and personable . I appreciate how communicative and responsive was during the process. I'm thrilled to say that I am much relieved to have a system, including a Tesla power 3 in place. with gratitude, thank you gentlemen. read more

Nabu energy installed Solar panels and powerwall 3 on my concrete tile roof. Bhushan, Alex, Najib and shivam are very good to work with. Not only did they go above and beyond for the installation but their cost was 30% less compared to Tesla. There also pulled up the initial installation date by 2 weeks and completely finished the project estimate to PGE PTO in 2.5 months. 100% recommend Nabu for solar installation read more

I tried to be as knowledgeable customer as possible on adding solar to my house so I received multiple bids to install solar for my house an choose Nabu Energy due to price, equipment, and professionalism. I purchased my Solar panels, solar edge inverter and LG battery a few years ago from Nabu Enery and decided to wait to make my recommendation since I wanted to see how much I saved with the trueup bill from PG&E and their customer service during installation and after. I'm happy to say I have been getting a refund of approximately $500 from the PG&E trueup bill a year since installation. I'm extremely happy with my experience with Nabu Energy. From the first consultation to the final installation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of my home. They explained everything clearly and kept me updated throughout the process. The solar panels look great and are performing exactly as promised -- I would definitely recommend Nabu Energy to anyone looking to go solar!" read more

Great Solar company, I contacted Tesla and handful other solar companies before deciding to go with Nabu. Several factors made me decide to use Nabu: - They are local, a lot of the solar companies are sale org and just sub out the work. Nabu has their own local crews. - The sale process was straight forward. I had a quick FaceTime session with them and they were able to figure out the technical requirments quickly for my house. - They didn't try to upsell me on stuff I don't need. I was able to get the REC 430W panels with my Powerwall 3. Tesla only uses QCell panels, not as good as REC. - They are certified Tesla installer. This is important as my installation involved moving main electrical panel and new Tesla gateway installation. I can't simply use the Tesla backup switch since my gas meter is too closed to my electric meter and main panel. You want to find out upfront to get the correct scope of work. Pricing was fair. Installation crews were great. They didn't rush and the workmanship was good. read more

It was a great experience with Nabu Solar. Their engineers are very knowledgeable about the products and explained everything thoroughly. Communication is clear and transparent at every step, and they are always quick to provide clarifications and answer questions. I truly appreciated their professionalism and support, which makes the experience stress-free. Highly recommend! read more

In 2022 I had Nabu Energy install new solar panels on my home. Their pricing was very competitive, and the installation was clean and professional. They were always respectful of my property, knocking on my door before entering to ensure I was home and giving me advance notice. I'm very satisfied with their service and would recommend Nabu Energy for any solar installation needs. read more

Nabu Energy - Solar Installation Near Me - Newark, California

While I am still in the exploration stage as a potential customer of Nabu Energy, I feel like this review will speak lots of my experience that I have had already. As a bit of background, I am currently having problems as a customer of a solar panel company that has since gone out of business, one of many (at least, that's what PG&E informed me while I was on the phone with them asking why my electricity bill has gone up-turns out my solar panels all of a sudden stopped producing electricity). What else is common, is that once pre-existing customers of bankrupt companies start having issues with their panels, most companies are unwilling to help out as due to it being a liability concern they will turn you and your problem away. That was not my experience with Nabu. After reading about Nabu online, and calling their phone number on their website, I was met with an incredibly patient, honest, and helpful individual who told me that while they could not guarantee any work be done for me due to the same liability concerns mentioned above, would at least try and look into what my problem is. This is already farther than I have gotten with the 3 previous companies I have contacted. While I do not expect much to be done for myself who finds myself in this unfortunate majority bucket, I feel like this kind of honesty and transparency from businesses is what we are missing in this capitalistic society where businesses try to milk their customers out of every penny they have. If I did not previously have solar and were in the market and looking for an installer, I would rush to Nabu for their business solely based on my experience with their support over the phone. Bottom line: They are a responsible company and they care about their customers. read more

I am very impressed with the customer service offered by the staff at Nabu Energy. I called for information and recommendations regarding a solar and battery system and I was provided very professional information and easy to understand recommendations with very unbiased, engineer grade but, lay person level terminology. I very much appreciated their time and I look forward to working with them in the future. read more

We worked with Nabu to install our solar and battery systems. The entire system was very smooth and was competitively priced. Would highly recommend. read more

They did solar with battery installation on a steep 45 degree second story roof, which a lot of installers wouldn't bother looking into. Bhushan, the initial contact is very knowledgeable and easy to reach for concerns. I had changed the system size and configuration few times and they were accommodative. Shivam the onsite engineer is very meticulous. And the installation team is very skilled and hardworking. The site survey and design went smoothly. They were communicative of changes in design. Overall a great team to work with. read more

We got the best pricing as compared to other quotes. Thanks to Nabu's team and installation manager Rabi. read more

Used their services for new solar panels on home, had very fair pricing. Battery installation was clean and efficient. With every visit, our door would be knocked on to ensure we were home and asked for permission to access the site. Original order was REC 410W panels, was kindly given an upgrade to 430W. Service was amazing, and will use Nabu Energy again for another installation service. Highly recommend! read more

We had a very good experience with Nabu energy for our solar and battery installation project. The quality of materials used, the workmanship and project execution was top notch, all at an economical price. We contacted 3 other solar and battery installers but ultimately went ahead with Nabu based on their quote and feedback from a couple of our friends who had installed solar panels with Nabu previously. With NEM3.0, it's even more important to get the best value for your buck and Nabu energy provided that. Bhushan, Harsh Keith and the entire team made sure that the entire process was smooth and hassle free. Highly recommend Nabu for your energy needs! read more

After observing continuous Increases in my Electricity bills for past few months decided to go for Solar Panels and Battery. Requested quotes from bunch of Solar Installation companies . After I saw Nabu Energy van and its Installation team at work in my neighborhood requested quote which was very competitive. After I spoke to Bhushan and a deep discussion on technical details of the Solar panels and Battery they offered , I was convinced and got complete confidence to go with Nabu as they know their craft Inside out. My overall experience of working with Nabu Energy ,It's Engineering and Installation team was Great and Smooth !! Thank You Nabu Energy. Professionalism : Top Notch. Workmanship: Top Notch. Communication: On time and very clear. read more

My electric usage wasn't huge, so going solar means ONLY if it makes sense in terms of ROI. For that reason, I was picky in terms of who I should go with for solar installation. I did get a LOT of quotes from various vendors. I did that for a couple of reasons 1) I didn't know anything about solar, so I had to talk to people to understand the offering, and 2) I wasn't convinced of the value they would provide. I decided to give Nabu a chance, and Harsh did reach out to me very late in the night to work around my schedule. We had a healthy discussion, and Harsh patiently explained everything and gave me the options available. I was surprised and skeptical initially, as Nabu's quote was cheaper by 2-3k than the most affordable quote I got elsewhere. On top of that, I would get the higher watt solaria panels compared to 330 W Panasonic. Newer panels?, cheaper quote?, responsive? Patient? Yes, to all the previous questions, I had no reason not to go with Nabu. Installation was pretty fast, and the system was UP and running in no time. Followups after installation are an added advantage. We ran into an issue during the installation process, and I didn't even know that there was an issue, post-install inspection from their crew revealed some problems that they have fixed within a reasonable time. I would definitely recommend going with Nabu! read more

Nabu Energy - Looks Neat and offsets my electricity bill. - Solar Installation Near Me - Newark, California

Installations was full of stress and it takes 1 year 2 month compared initial estimates on 3 month. It works fine after installation, so I upvote one star. read more

Only provided a 3 because I was simply unable to get Nabu personnel to follow directions and get in contact to discuss my requirements. After a contentious and unpleasant exchange I moved on to other more polite and professional vendors. Other people indicate Nabu may do good work. I won't stick around to find out. read more

I got a 10kW solar system installed from Nabu. I interacted with Bhushan, Harsh, Kishan and Swapnil on different steps along the way, and it was a smooth and seamless experience. Nabu provided the best panels and inverter and the lowest price as well, and I had quotes from 8 different providers. The solar system works well and generates power as expected, it's been about 6 months so far. Happy to see almost 0 electric bill from PGE! Highly recommend Nabu Energy. read more

I was led to this company by the other five star reviews. Consulted with Harsh who is slick talking but seems to know his stuff. After signing the contract and plunking down my deposit one of his guys came over to begin the site survey but couldn't finish because I had a steep roofline and would need to return another day with a second person. Fine, no biggie I thought. Then I hear that their workers all got hit with COVID during the holiday surge so no date was scheduled. Months went by and still no reschedule in sight. Their project team kept saying next week, next week blah blah. Finally I had enough and DEMANDED that my deposit be returned which took about a month (!!!) as well as the contract cancellation. Between Harsh and his ops team they couldn't align on even how to return my deposit. Sheesh! I've gone with a different provider who is much more expedient. For example they were able to complete my site survey in a couple of hours and used a drone to survey my roofline (who would've thought??). Also I've scheduled my install date and completion - very good feeling to have line of sight on this project which with Nabu all I was getting was the runaround. AVOID THESE GUYS! read more

We would definitely recommend NABU to anybody. We found then after quoting with multiple companies. The tie-breaker was they promised quick install and one of our friends highly recommended them to me. Great solar system, excellent workmanship, very professional people, they got the job done before due date, from start to finish they were excellent, would definitely recommend them to anybody. Our contact, Harsh, explained everything clearly, giving us various options to choose from, both in terms of how much solar we wanted to install and if we wanted to go with battery now vs later. He also took the time to explain NEM 2.0 vs NEM 3.0. Everyone we dealt with was professional and courteous and we got our panels installed in a timely manner. We are now enjoying our website monitor that tells us every day how much electricity we have generated. When we had questions, they were always responsive to each of our emails. We initiated the project in Sept 2021. Panels were installed Dec 2021. PGE approved in Feb 2022. There was an issue with our SolarEdge inverter which they resolved within one week of identifying. System went live in March 2022. We highly recommend Nabu for your solar needs. *Since our install, two of our neighbors have also installed using NABU! =) read more

My experience with Nabu Energy was amazing, from sales to installation to post-installation. Each team member at every milestone of the project has been very friendly, very knowledgeable and available to answer any question. The complete process was very quick in my case. From signing the contract to having the solar system live, the entire project was done within 7 weeks which includes City permit and PG&E approval. They took care of all the documentation, permit and communication with the city and with PG&E and kept me informed at each step. The materials used is of very good quality and from reputed manufacturers and comes with excellent warranty coverage. For my project the main contact person i had from Nabu Energy was Harsh. I had great experience working with him. He was always available to take call and explain any doubts i had on the process. The crew who did the installation was very professional and Harsh was available onsite during the planning and installation phase to supervise the work and provide his insight so that i as a customer would get the best outcome. I definitely recommend them for solar installation. They have a great customer service, do very good quality of work and offer the best solar products available. read more

Alright, this has been a long pending review. I did get a bunch(definitely an understatement) of quotes since I started my search for solar last year around this time. Towards mid 2021 when I close to finalizing, I came across Nabu energy. Few things that I noticed about Nabu energy: 1) They will be upfront about what they will install and the price. 2) They will educate you. 3) No annoying salesman who are just about getting their sales numbers. I ended up not going with Nabu, but went with YES(your energy solutions). The main reason was the price. I did face a lot of hurdles with YES in the process of the installation, more or less related to lack of transparency in what was promised to be installed and what was installed. I was able to get that corrected with YES, but it was not worth the money I saved in-terms of headache it caused me. Harsh knows this business well, is transparent about what he sells. At the end of the day, what matters is the installation process. In my opinion, the solar panels and inverters(enphase or solaredge) are more or less the same. At the end of the day, if you get a genuine company like NABU to have a seamless installation and headache free process for ~8-10% more, you have found the right installer. Highly recommend Nabu/Harsh!! read more

I am glad my friend suggested Nabu Energy for my solar installation. Keith Harsh explained everything I needed to know, went thru my PGE bill and recommended a system that suits my needs. The installation process, working with the city, everything was handled very diligently. There were some delays because of COVID but that's happening everywhere. After the system was installed, Keith Harsh followed up and explained how the solar install was saving me money. He also gave me tips to bring down my gas bill and said will follow up again after a few months. I have recommended Nabu Energy to some of my other friends as well. read more

Overall, a pretty good experience and I would recommend Nabu. Harsh provided very good information on all the components that go in a system and what to look for. Site survey was done quickly and design was available soon after. Due to Covid and other issues, installation did not happen for 2 months. Once completed, it cleared inspection on the first attempt. The only negative was slow/delayed communication between design and implementation phase. read more

Sales person had a lot of practical advice. Educated me about solar installation, helped me choose right panels for my situation, helped me understand how to choose between single inverter vs micro inverters. I couldn't be more happy with the process. Installation was quick, clean, professional, with attention to the details. Team answered all my questions and educated me about various aspects of the system. They need to work on proactive and timely updates on the progress of the project. read more

I'm giving Nabu a five star review, because yelp doesn't allow for six stars. Nabu, and Harsh Keith in particular, were outstanding. They hit all key areas of value for me: * They recommend and use the highest quality materials and manufactures (two different friends who are engineers researched deeply and confirmed). * Their pricing is BY FAR the best * They scheduled and moved the project forward as quickly as possible. * Besides educating me on everything, they have FOLLOWED up consistently . . . . it always takes PG&E a few months to begin providing the net metering rebates and Nabu provides excellent advocacy in reducing the time that you have to wait to see your bills drop way down (and get the money back that PG&E owes you). I'm happy to speak directly to you if you have questions about Nabu. I endorse them whole heartedly 100%. read more

Local with great professional attitude, Patiently explained pros and cons and was very flexible and accommodating definitely recommend read more

I reached out to Harsh Keith at Nabu Energy after a couple of solar installers visited my house and gave me their pitches. What impressed me immediately about Harsh (and Nabu Energy) was that they didn't really try to do a hard sell like the others. Harsh laid out the facts - which panels are good/better/best, types of inverters (string vs micro) and so on so forth. Armed with this background knowledge, it was easy for me to decide that Nabu Energy had the best deal going around. Planning, permitting and installation were all carried out in less than a week and they even worked hard to find a special type of circuit breaker for me so that I didn't need to add an additional subpanel (as my panel was getting full). The city inspector had no issues with the installation and PG&E shortly approved it. The system has been up and running since April with no issues. read more

Nabu energy installed our solar panel. It's a great experience. Quoted 5 companies and Nabu has the best value. The team is always on time and installation is fast and quick. The solaria black panel they recommended looks awesome. Harsh is very helpful throughout the process and he also provided support/useful information after the installation. Nothing to complain just pure satisfaction! read more

I did not end up going with this company because at the time, the choice of panels and inverters they were offering were not my preferred choice and given the NEM2.0 deadline, I wanted to go with a certain panel specification for my house. So in this review, I can't speak to their installation and after-sales support. However, what I would like to call out is my experience with their representative Keith Harsh. Harsh is extremely knowledgeable about the solar industry and he is primarily an engineer and then a salesman. Over time, he helped answer several of my technical questions on solar, gave me quick responses to any price queries I had and overall was extremely responsive to my calls and emails. If the specific panels/configurations they are offering are what you are looking for, I would highly recommend starting a conversation with Nabu Energy for your solar needs. read more

I had a great experience with Nabu energy, Harsh explained with fine details and went over the whole installation and setup process with me. He analyzed my usage and suggested the right that would fit my energy needs. The installation was mostly smooth and all the updates like city approvals etc. we're communicated on time and although there a few delays due to pandemic the installation was done pretty much on time as promised and the system is working great so far. I would highly recommend Nabu for solar installation read more

My husband and I did a lot of research for a solar installation company. We wanted a local company who could offer quality products, good service, and a reasonable price. After comparing 6 quotes, we decided to go with Nabu because they offered the best value. We worked with Harsh, who was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. He was knowledgeable and friendly, even offering to visit our property when we expressed concern about the cramped space around the main electrical panel. He confirmed that his team could work with the space confines and also checked what kind of roof tiles we had (concrete). In terms of speed of installation, Nabu moved far more quickly than we anticipated! After we signed the contract on Jan 21st, our solar system was installed within 2 weeks (work happened between Feb 2nd-5th). City approval happened 1 week later (on Feb 12th), and PGE permission-to-operate came on Feb 22nd. We were very pleased to see the solar system up and running so quickly. However, after 1.5 days of working well, the system suddenly stopped producing. I contacted Harsh and his team members and they responded right away. By the end of the day, they had figured out it was an inverter malfunction. They contacted the inverter manufacturer and arranged for a replacement to be shipped out. About a week later, after Nabu received the replacement inverter, they sent out a technician to do the repair and get our system up and running again. Our system has been functioning well ever since. Overall, I am very glad we chose to go with Nabu Energy for our solar installation. In addition to the excellent value, they have proven to be responsive, communicative, and helpful. read more

Nabu Energy - These are 4 of the 22 panels we had installed. - Solar Installation Near Me - Newark, California

Top shop. Highly recommend Harsh and team (Jose, Hussein, Aditya, Kishan). Zeroed in on Nabu after an extensive, over a month long research. I spoke with at least 10 vendors. Shortlisted Semper Solaris, NRG, Nabu, and a local installer. Nabu was clearly the winner in my detailed evaluation. Semper had great reviews in our neighborhood but I didn't like their pricing, hardware, timelines, and responsiveness. NRG provided the same hardware as Semper for nearly 20% less price. But their implementation time and responsiveness was even worse. But I primarily decided against them as they are only a marketing company. They outsource to local installers. Also they were upselling a ton. The local installer (who actually contracts for NRG) and Nabu were my final shortlist. But by now I was quite clear with the hardware and my other requirements. Local installer was basically a one person show. But very responsive. Good pricing. Choice of hardware. But I was getting all this with Nabu as well. So why go for a 1 person company? Nabu it was. And a good decision it was. It starts with Harsh. He is an engineer and also their head of marketing. Super responsiveness and reachable. Highly technical and knowledgeable. He has been just a call away over the last two months. One might find him opinionated on his recommendations but if you have done your research, it is hard to argue against what he is saying. And, honestly every installer I have spoken with anyways have their own preferences. Harsh just has it with solid data and technicals. Not mere words "our hardware is the best". Design team is Aditya and folks. Very responsiveness and work closely with you. Took time to reason me why this design is better over the others, including the one I proposed. Very accommodating, patient, and yet fast. Approvals were fast. Jose, Hussein and team enters for installation. Finish in a couple days. Very nice bunch of people. Very polite and left the property clean. Did we have hiccups? Of course we did. But minor ones. And Harsh, Kishan, and team were commendable in timely resolving them. read more
