    Solar panels installed, wires/conduit hidden.  Water tight NO LEAKS (post HURRICANE Hilary hahaha)
    Jason R.

    I've wanted solar for several years. After having several different solar contractors come to our house, going over pamphlets, and promising 'freedom from the grid' we ultimately picked one that we felt best suited our needs. Long story short, that company didn't pan out as they mapped out our roof and were concerned with a shed we had in our backyard. Knowing all of this, I felt like the best option for us was to find a contractor in our area who was familiar with our cities planning department and had knowledge of, not just solar, but construction. I found Eric and his company on yelp, and like all of his introductory clients, he scheduled a consultation with me. I didn't know at the time that we had reached out to Eric that NEM 2.0 was all the rage and people were rushing through solar contractors to get contracted and locked in to NEM 2.0... I didn't even know what NEM meant! But Eric took the time to walk me through ALL of my questions when we initially met - everything from construction fidelity on our property to solar efficiency, to electric bill expectations and learning SCE verbiage... Eric took the time to talk to me. As we met, his phone was ringing off the hook. We met in the afternoon between 4-5 and his phone was going off! I appreciated how much information Eric knew, and there wasn't any pressure to book with his company after the initial consultation. We ultimately booked with Eric as he was quick to respond and very helpful with answering all of our questions. TECHNOLOGY RELATED - All of the info about a solar proposal, panels to be used, and a breakdown of expense for us as homeowners was detailed in a very easy-to-use online portal. I appreciate when companies speak the language of the times and offer convenient, 24-hour access to plans we've discussed over the phone or in person. CONSTRUCTION PROCESS - Once our date was set (we were backed out 2-3 months from our initial date because of the whole NEM 2.0 thing). Eric and his team did as other teams in the past did with us, they mapped out our roof, but one thing that Erics team did differently was process our goals and future needs for solar as well as discuss some of the unique logistic issues for our property (e.g. we have dogs roaming around the backyard, we have various construction projects going on in our backyard, etc.). On the day of construction, Erics team showed up on time and they DID WORK. They were here from about 8am-2pm, and I was blown away at home much they got done. They had a team outside who were setting up the brackets for the solar, and a guy inside the attic running wires/conduit for several hours, and others prepping and handing tools and product to the team on the roof. They finished setting up the solar panels in 2 work days! That was ridiculously faster than I had expected! FOLLOW UP - The job wasn't done when solar was installed. Eric regularly kept me posted with what was going on including when the city inspector would come, and when his workers would come to meet the inspector. After everything was cleared, I reached out to Eric several times for follow up, and even as some companies in my past experience would leave me on 'read' after the job was done and payment was complete... Eric didn't treat us that way. He continued to process my questions (I have a lot!! Probably more than most people) and didn't give me any kind of inclination that I was bothersome. After having some bogus contractors in the past for various projects in our home... I really appreciate Eric's patience in dealing with us and providing us such an excellent service and product! If any of my friends talk about solar, I'm quick to herald what an amazing experience I had with NexGen construction! This was the least stressful, most informative, and cordial team we've worked with on this homeowning journey. If you have any specific questions for me about my experience as it may pertain to you... I'd be happy to field them!

    Solar panels, no grid lines.  Sunset time makes roof appear reddish

    Contemplating the installation of new solar panels can feel somewhat daunting. Putting in a new roof can also feel the same. We were looking to install BOTH new solar panels along with a much needed new roof, back to back. We hoped to find a roofing and a solar company who could work together and coordinate on the placement of the solar panels to minimize cutting into the new roof. We knew Eric H. had previously and successfully worked with a separate roofing company (ec-roofing) on other projects. When Eric came over, he was very informative, thorough and patient in his presentation. He really took the time to explain the vast details regarding solar and we appreciated his straightforward calmness. We also drove by other homes with solar panels that Nexgen Construction had installed and liked what we saw. During the entire process, we felt very comfortable. Eric and his crew were wonderful.  He promptly answered any questions we had and was extremely responsive. His crew was always courteous and professional, too.  Even after the install was complete and we were all set up with the electric company, Eric came over and showed us how to access our information to track our production and usage. Shortly after, we received a reach out from Nexgen to ask how everything was going. Such incredible follow up. Several of our neighbors have already approached us remarking on how good both the new roof and solar panels look. They've asked us for their contact information which we happily provided.   Our solar panels are Solaria. Sleek looking. No grid lines. Both Nexgen Construction and the other roofing company worked so well together that we posted a recommendation for that company as well, in a separate review.

    My journey to get Solar has been long. I got quotes from 6 of the top rated companies on Yelp and met with them all in person. From the first point of contact with Eric from NexGen I knew that they would be doing my solar so long as the price was not ridiculous. Long story short it was not and I went with them. Eric spent a lot of time via phone calls, text, and emails answering my questions and going over several options for system size and type of equipment. Eric and his team are extremely knowledgeable about all things solar and are a pleasure to work with. I went with an 8.39 kW system with 23 REC365AA black panels, Enphase IQ7PLUS Inverter. The installation was smooth and fast and from time the project started till the time i got my permit to operate was 5 days!!! I have now had the system for about 2 months and could not be happier with the results. The estimated solar output was spot on if not a little over. If you are looking for a honest, reliable, great solar team look not further!!!

    28 panels on our roof.

    Absolutely First-Rate from Start to Finish When the fires…read morehit Southern California and we lost power for two weeks, something changed for me. I remember standing outside one night listening to my neighbor's generator roar to life again. It sounded like a chainsaw tearing through the quiet. Across the street, friends with solar and batteries had their lights on. Their kids were inside watching TV. Life looked normal. Meanwhile, I was packing up my family to leave our home. Rising electricity rates, AI data centers consuming massive amounts of power, and talk of double digit rate increases made going solar the right thing to do. I researched heavily. Built a spreadsheet. Interviewed over a dozen companies. Got bids through Energy Sage, cold called installers, and asked around for referrals. I wasn't looking for a sales pitch. I was looking for people I could trust with my home and my family's security. Infinity Solar felt different from the start. I didn't have to deal with brokers or middlemen to jack up prices. They are family owned, in business over 25 years, BBB A+ rated, and 5 stars on Yelp. Tim, the owner is a C10 licensed contractor, sets the tone for the entire company. His pride and commitment to doing things right shows up in every person on his team. Sara, our project manager, kept everything organized with clear, proactive communication. Blake handled the maze of permitting. If you've dealt with solar permitting in California you know what a mess it is. State, county, city, and fire department all with their own rules. Blake stayed on top of all of it so I didn't have to. Joel made sure the job site ran smoothly. The crew deserves real recognition: electricians Adrian, Ivan, Salvador, and Christian; roof lead Arni; installers Jose, Gabriel, Kieren, Israel, Erik, and Robert; and Deyvis helping with inspection. They showed up on time, worked hard, kept everything clean, and answered my endless questions without ever making me feel like I was in the way. Construction always has bumps. Permits get revised, inspectors want changes. What mattered was how Infinity handled it. Calmly, professionally, and without disappearing. Tim must be a good boss and take care of his people because this is a crew of highly skilled workers who take real pride in what they do. The day the system went live felt like a turning point. Our first outage was December 23rd while setting up for a Christmas party. Power was out over eight hours. The lights never flickered. I only knew because the app alerted me. Tim included a Solar Insure 30 year warranty covering panels, microinverters, wiring, and roof penetrations, including labor. It's backed by an A+ Superior rated third party insurer and is transferable if I sell my home. An installer's warranty is useless if they go out of business, so this gives real peace of mind. Because I verify everything, I called Solar Insure, Enphase, FranklinWH, and REC directly to confirm Infinity is a Premium or Platinum installer with each. They are. I'll break even in 8 years at current rates, sooner when rates keep climbing, and you know they will. But more than savings, it's peace of mind. When the grid goes down, our house doesn't. Infinity Solar gave our family back a sense of stability. I'm grateful we chose them.

    Update for my review with OC - Savannah from customer service reached out regarding my experience…read moreand expressed regret over how things went and changes were actively happening at the company. She offered a free panel cleaning, which she set up internally and had their team come out this past Friday without issue. Since the cleaning the panels have been much better performing especially after these past few weeks of misting and rain, about 25% higher output. I didn't think much of it but I get now it's worth doing to get the most out of the panels. Overall a very good response and experience with OC specifically for this issue. I feel that they do want to stand out from the crowd and responding proactively to feedback gives me more confidence they'll take care of issues as they hear about them.

Their pricing was competitive, and their substantial warranty sealed the deal. Highly recommend them if you're considering solar!

Most weren't comfortable working with metal roofs, or I just didn't feel they had the expertise to handle them properly. I was actually about to give up on the whole idea until when I was introduced to Elione Solar. I decided to give it one more shot and spoke with Steve from Elione Solar. He walked me through every step of the licensing and installation process and was incredibly transparent about the costs and details. My wife and I had met with so many vendors by then that we could immediately tell Steve knew exactly what he was doing. Most importantly, he was confident about working with our specific roofing type, so we signed the contract. Throughout the process, I was surprised by how responsive he was. Any questions I sent via text or call were answered promptly with clear action plans that addressed my concerns. Bottom line: the installation was completed exactly as planned, and they did a fantastic job on the metal roof with no issues at all. I've been using the panels for 6 months now, and my only regret is that I didn't find Elione Solar sooner. I know solar projects are a long-term commitment that depends on warranty and ongoing service. While I haven't had any issues requiring their attention yet, based on my experience so far, I have no doubt I'm in good hands.

    Highly recommend! Thank you so much for the beginning through complete the solar job…read more They are very professional and trustworthy. I'm very happy to have this Elione Solar company.

Our first conversation with NetZero was with Donny, and while it was helpful, we decided to pause and keep learning. After doing more homework and later reconnecting with Nilda and Bobby, the experience felt very different. They took the time to answer questions in plain language, walked through realistic expectations, and never tried to rush us into a decision. After we decided to move forward, the process was handled professionally from start to finish. Nick helped dial in the system design and made sure everything made sense for our home, and Mark oversaw the install side and kept things moving smoothly. The crew showed up when they said they would, treated our home with care, and cleaned up at the end of each day, which we really appreciated. Permitting and inspections were handled by the team and communicated the steps along the way. There were no surprises. Kelly was especially helpful keeping us in the loop and responding quickly whenever we had questions, which made the whole process feel far less stressful than we expected going in. Overall, NetZero Energy felt like a company that values doing things the right way and standing behind their work. We are happy with the install, the communication, and the end result, and would feel comfortable recommending them to friends or family who are considering solar.

They sent me a new tracking app to join last year so I could share my system information with them, which leads me to believe they weren't tracking the system the way they said they would be. The data it shared is the same data I had already communicated with them.
