    Panasonic back yard panels

    Palomar solar was recommended to me by a friend and I'm really glad they did that. This company is truly professional and has my highest regards! Bryce was a superstar and walked me through the entire process and what to expect with the new solar panels, installation, energy consumption and the various options available to me. The office and communications were stellar and the installation process was seamless!! I did not use them for any roofing, but I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for solar and would use them when I'm shopping for a new roof!

    New fun house vibe to flashing trim . note the freckles of tan on the poop brown trim

    I was introduced to this company out of a recommendation. I met with Adam who sold me on the idea this company specialized in flat roof installation. After a short internet dive, I decided to go with them. I entered into contract January of 2023. Upon our meet I informed Adam I was not looking to replace the garage roof due to a pending remodel. I knew there would be some added cost once they removed the roof, due to old water damage. I was not however, expecting them to double the initial quote. In addition to removing the garage against my request, they added over 19k to the initial quote for "pitching and replacing damaged wood". At this point I had no choice to agree since the entire roof had been removed, including the garage we spoke about. Fast forward. job completed in March 2023. I arrived and started to cry. This was my childhood home, and it went from unique contemporary art piece to a house of horror. I rounded the corner expecting Penny Wise or Jason Vooresse to come walking out. What captured my attention first was the flashing trim... Numerous widths all around the home, 3" - 16" and all uneven and slanted making the square house look as if it is sliding down the hill. The flashing was not the color I asked for, not the material I asked for, had jagged corners, scratches, light tan patched holes freckled everywhere, and of course the uneven width 360 degrees. I contacted Adam right away. He admitted to this being, "The worst he has ever seen", and "If I knew it would have ended like this, I wouldn't have taken the job". Not helpful, but.. Ok.. lesson learned.. How do we remedy this? Adam not once had a solution. Over the next 10 months I emailed, called, text, and met in person, trying to find a solution. I .. the nonprofessional roofer.. was required to figure out what to do. Not once did ADAM come up with any sort of a solution. I obtained roofing quotes, gave personal suggestions based on contractors and you tube fixes. Each time he said he would get back to me and NEVER did. This went on for just shy of a year. When I suggested something, he responded by claiming he needed to ask boss. I would wait months with no contact. On a good note, this required me to get quotes from professional roofers. They were kind enough to point out several other issues with the installation. 1. The counter flashing to wall stucco was done improperly. My house is all thick stucco.. Roofer George claimed any leaks were due to the old cracks in the stucco. Yet with this info they didn't bother to counter seat the flashing to behind the stucco paper to avoid future issues. Just miles and miles of thick sealant slapped over a loose piece of metal. 2. There were no metal "boots" on the vents, no counter flashing on the chimney (all mentioned in the contract). 3. A substantial soft spot (old vent not replaced) Just covered over with roofing material, like a secret lion trap for the next unsuspecting soul. Not to mention several corners already lifting. I digress. So here we are today, zero solutions on their end. I have a remodel company who says it's an easy fix, but they can't warranty the portion Palomar did and Palomar can't warranty theirs. So only fix is to start over. I met with Adam at the house and gave him two options. Lets keep in mind I asked for the roofer and his boss to join, however he just showed. 1. He comes up with a solution to fix the roof properly, I pay the remainder of the invoice, and we continue on with solar. or 2. They call it a loss and I find someone else to fix everything. Adam said, " I can't make those decisions, I'll get back to you, in a week". (which I find odd since he is listed as a business partner on this platform). Big shocker, he never did. I called him roughly 3 months later and he acted like we never spoke. I can't continue my remodel until this is solved and so far, I am spending hundreds a month on standby. I have not paid them and have informed them I won't until a solution is made. A year later they just sent me an intent to place a lien on my home. My offers or solutions are not unreasonable. Especially after 10+ months of this. I even offered to pay them the cost of the wood material they placed down and I pay another company to replace the roof. That would have been roughly 19k in their pocket. At this point they have truly abandoned any solution. It has now come down to me requesting a county code inspection, complaints on yelp, social media, and of course CSLB. Perhaps now they will give me a final answer as to how to move forward.

    First of all I want to say I am very neglect in writing this Yelp, we had Palomar Solar install our solar system back in February 2018. But that actually gives me a good amount of time to evaluate the company and the system they installed. We interviewed 6 different companies. We asked each to provide a roof mount and a ground mount quote. Two of the companies said a ground mount was not possible, so we eliminated them. All the remaining companies each gave us vastly different quotes, all over the map as far a pricing and systems. Each had a different roof configuration if we went that way. Only Palomar gave us a straight answer on the roof and ground, they actually recommended the ground solution, which was more costly, but I knew that going into this. The system Palomar sells is an inverter per panel system. If an inverter goes out, you only lose that panel. All the other solar companies quoted a single inverter for the whole system, so if you lose an inverter the entire solar array goes down and stays down until they get service out to fix it. I've heard the stories of it taking weeks to months. So much for solar power savings. With the system Palomar installs, losing one panel until they can get out to fix it is minor over losing all or most of the panels. But this type of system costs more. So all together Palomar was more expensive than all the other companies, some very well known. But Palomar Solar is a class act. Adam our sales rep was straight up, it will cost more, but it is a top of the line system. He did not bash the other companies I was getting quotes from, I fact spoke well of a couple. They did not try to tempt us with "free" TV's, Charger tickets, or gift cards, but they did drop the final price $1,000 when I asked them to sweeten the deal. Two years running now and the system has continued to run without issue. At one time my internet went down and before I knew it, they were contacting me because their free monitoring service noticed it was offline. The system was still producing power but because my internet service in the house was offline, the Palomar service office was flagged and with a call from their team, I had our internet up and running, and they could see my system again and continue monitoring its performance. Peace of mind for sure. I didn't even mention how great the installation team was, hardly knew they were there, and all the sudden we had a solar system, all the permits were taken care of, our HOA received all the documentation they requested, I only had to sign the check. We live in a 4600 sqft house and my entire bill for 2019 was $38. WoW thanks Adam, and Adam and the entire team. I have nothing but good to say about Palomar Solar, go with them if you want the best, most reliable, top of the line system.

    After reviewing many of the reviews on here and other places and talking with folks who had solar installed recently, we decided on calling Palomar Solar and Roofing for a quote. The sales representative Bowie R. Could not have been any nicer or informative in determining the correct system for us. I was specific in what I did not want to see from the street; I did not want to see the panels and wanted as clean of installation as possible. I had a few questions along the way and Bowie returned my emails promptly even after hours. The Palomar team came out on the scheduled day and were pleasant, clean and respectful or our property. Hector, Aaron and Ramon and the rest of the group were hard and diligent workers and the work was substantially complete in one day. We had some minor electrical issues and we were called by the owner Adam R. letting us know that their Master Electrician Jose would be out to wrap up the electrical installation. We had a very crowded electrical box. Jose did an excellent job and the completed box shows his attention to detail. He labeled all the wires for future issues and the inspection went smoothly. The electric system was off line only briefly so life's interruption was kept to a minimum. The team and Bowie followed up with how to use the Enhance App and offered any further assistance needed in monitoring the system. Now three months down the road and a few rain storms, all is still good............electricity usage bills gone and no leaks in the roof. We would recommend Palomar Solar to others or to at least consider during your solar system decisions. The folks in the office were very nice to in getting the documents to us and made the sign-offs easy to deal with. Thank you to the entire Palomar team!

    Review Update: After…read moremy initial review, Eric (the sales rep) and Matt (the owner) of Sunline personally reached out to me and was apologetic about the situation. They sent Travis out promptly, who is their electrician where he found that the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty 40-amp breaker that was intermittently providing the necessary voltage, even though measurements initially appear correct. While the breaker issue caused real inconvenience and unexpected costs on my end, the owner was responsive and showed willingness to smooth things over to work toward a resolution. I also want to highlight that the panel upgrade and solar/battery installation itself was clean and well done. The workmanship that Eddie, Manny, Christian and Jamie performed had overall met my expectations, and once the issue was identified, Sunline did step in to correct it. No project is perfect, but how a company responds when problems arise matters a lot. In this case, Sunline's owner and Eric was engaged, responsive, and made a sincere effort to make things right. As an engineer, and after witnessing the symptoms and corrective actions firsthand, I believe the breaker issue was likely a manufacturing defect, and it was unfortunate that it occurred during the holidays. That said, based on how Sunline handled the situation, the overall quality of their work, and the value they offer, I would recommend them and plan to continue using them for future needs.

I contacted Baker Electric expecting a straightforward warranty process since I was advised the panel was still under warranty. Instead, I was told the original panel model was no longer available and that I would be responsible for paying the cost difference for a newer replacement panel. I was also advised Baker Electric would charge approximately $1,600 just to come out and diagnose the failed panel. Then, after the replacement panel arrived, I was told there would be another approximately $1,600 charge to return and install the replacement panel into the existing array. So, from my understanding, even with a warranted failed panel, the total out-of-pocket cost to the customer could still be around $3,200+. I understand warranties can have limitations, especially regarding labor versus equipment, but this experience was surprising and not at all what I expected after investing in a professionally installed solar system from a well-known company. I'm posting this so other customers understand what they may encounter years later if a panel fails outside of any labor coverage window. I would strongly encourage anyone considering solar installation to carefully review all workmanship, diagnostic, service-call, and replacement labor terms before signing a contract.

He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.
