    After meeting with and discussing solar options with a number of companies, I ended up going with Planet Solar as they were local and had a good track record. From the time I signed the contract to when I turned on the inverter was less than a month. These guys are fast. The installation took place over 3 1/2 days because it got so hot inside my attic that the guys had to call it by around 1 or 2 each day. I honestly couldn't blame them and was fine taking an extra day, as they run the piping inside the attic and not on the roof, so it's a nice clean look. The finished install looks great and I'm looking forward to years of "free" power. The one thing I would say they could improve on is to have one point person for everything, a customer service position if you will. I met with the sales person, who handed me off to someone who was going to come by to do measurements for optimal placement and then he handed me off to the foreman overseeing the crew who would do the actual installation. I then got e-mails from the accounting department asking for me to give checks to the crew that was coming that day. After the installation, it was hard to get information on the included warranties and I think a customer service person would have been able to handle everything. I would still recommend Planet Solar for installation as they did a beautiful job. The system has been operating as expected and there are some days in the 110 heat that we only need to tap into PG&E for 10 kwH as opposed to the 50 before. There's been a number of days where we are generating more power than we are using, which was the goal to begin with.

    This is the best Solar company in the Clovis Fresno area. We had the best experience with this company. We did a lot of research and received quotes from several companies. There quote came in lowest bid by several thousand dollars. Other companies were willing to price match but why would I go with another company that was going to price gouge me. i have had solar 6 months and my pge bill is zero. If you decide to give planet solar a try please ask for Tim. He is the best!

    Hello, I want to share my experience with Nova West Energy. While I was in the market to add a…read moresolar system to work alongside my existing one, I interviewed about seven different companies. I took my time researching, reading reviews, evaluating customer service, and even checking the Better Business Bureau. After all of that, I narrowed it down to two companies, Nova Energy and another local company in Fresno.Ultimately, I chose the other company because they hold a roofing license as well. This was very important to me due to a previous bad experience with SolarCity damaging my roof and not fixing it. I ended up fixing it out of pocket. That being said, Nova Energy truly stood out. Justin took the time to thoroughly educate me and presented a very well-designed system tailored to my needs. Honestly, I would have gone with them if it weren't for my prior experience and specific concerns. What impressed me most is that they genuinely care about their customers. Even knowing I was comparing multiple companies, they were patient, transparent, and focused on making sure I understood exactly what I needed for my home. Even after I told Justin I had decided to go with another company, he still took the time to make sure I was fully informed. He reviewed key details with me such as solar panel quality, system performance stats, degradation rates, and the difference between kW and kWh, just to ensure I was making the best decision for my home. That level of professionalism and integrity really stood out. In today's world, many companies treat business as just a transaction, sell a product and move on. Nova Energy is different. They take the time to understand your needs, educate you, and guide you without pressure. Their approach is honest, professional, and customer centered. Their pricing is very competitive, and they don't try to oversell. Instead, they explain your actual energy usage and make sure you don't overproduce unnecessarily. That level of integrity is rare. They also have excellent reviews, offer a strong 25-year roof warranty, and clearly stand behind their work. Even though they didn't end up installing my system, I believe my hesitation around roofing, despite them having a 25 roofing policy, was more related to my previous negative experience and my need for extra reassurance. If anything, if you are in the market for a solar system, I strongly recommend giving Justin a call. He is honest in his evaluation, does not try to oversell, and takes the time to answer every question you may have.

Our family has been a victim of PG&E's expensive and unethical practices for years, and the approach to this install was very important to us. Jason is a true master of his craft, bringing intelligence, creative insight, and remarkable integrity to every aspect of his work. He generously put up with my highly analytic and data driven approach to the install plan, sourced our Tesla batteries and panels at far, far below market value (beating out numerous competitors by a truly considerable margin), refused to charge more than his quote even when unexpected costs arose, and offered transparent, excellent planning and communication every step of the way. Jason and his installation team produced an aesthetically clean, 20 panel array befitting our historic home, integrated our new array with our existing one in a difficult and customized way requiring thousands of feet of wiring/conduit, and achieved a commercial grade, quality install of 2 Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries that have now fully liberated us from PG&E grid dependence. As Jason himself predicted, in just 2.5 weeks, our new system has exported 700 kwh to the grid, and imported 0 kwh. We are now fully in control of our power, and no longer at the mercy of PG&E, now, or in the future. Financially, this is utterly lifechanging for our family. So, for anyone considering Sunrun, or other companies, do not move forward until you have given Jason Batman and Power Pro's Electric and Solar a chance first. They will easily beat out competitor pricing by a large margin, and produce a system of truly remarkable craftsman quality. I cannot recommend Jason and his team highly enough, and our family owes Jason and his team a tremendous debt of gratitude.

    I highly recommend Solar Negotiators for all your solar needs. They were amazing. From the initial…read morevisit with Garrett to "turn on" was less than a month. Garrett came to the initial visit with the owner, Chris. The sales pitch was no pressure, and they gave me the best deal. Garrett was always available for any questions. The workers and technicians were always on time for the appointment. Before contacting them, I dealt with Tesla and Sunrun. Neither was responsive and sometimes didn't show up within the 4-hour appointment window. Thus, I ended up canceling with both companies before going with Solar Negotiators. After the system was done, Zach, one of the technicians, came by to match the paint of my house and painted the exterior conduit to match my house color. I could go on for pages about my great experience. Unfortunately, these days, it is rare to receive the stellar service and product Solar Negotiators provides. The system is amazing and was exactly the right size for my needs.

    I received an alert on May 20, 2025 from mySolarEdge that my panels were not producing any solar…read more Upon inspection, I discovered that my panels had not been producing solar since March. When I called mySolarEdge to ask why I did not get consistent notifications, they said it was because the installer, Solar Negotiators, had put themselves as the "owner admin" and receive the notifications. They also informed me that these notifications are free as they are part of the app. I called Solar negotiators back and I was informed that they do get notifications from mySolarEdge. They initially stated that it was my responsibility to inform them of when my solar panels are not working so that they can repair it. However, when I reminded them that I do not even get notifications from my app because they are the owner admin, they admitted that they do receive notifications for my system and that they would normally catch it and reach out to me to repair it. They also stated that they have been busy over the Spring and therefore had not been able to address the issue in a timely manner. They advised me to send them a tru-up bill in order to receive reimbursement. I reached out to a representative on June 4th and provided them with my tru-up bill. However, they would not provide me with any updates or status changes unless I prompted them with emails. Finally, after my fifth prompt, I received an email from a customer representative informing me that I was responsible for notifying them of any loss of power and they would not be able to reimburse me at this time. This is completely different than what I was told on the phone previously. I believe this company was using misinformation and delayed responses in order to not address my issue. In addition, I was never informed that they had control over my account, which I believe is a tactic to force me to either consider paying an additional cost for their monitoring app, "Know Tru-up", or risk not get reimbursed when my system loses power without my knowledge. Edit: Cindy, the Chief Administrative Officer, did reach out to me and was very pleasant in trying to help me. She reached out to Solaredge and was also informed by them that Solar Negotiators did have full administrative access and that they could grant it to me. She attempted to work with making that change but nothing has occurred in the past two weeks. My review still stands but I do appreciate leadership taking accountability and trying to remedy the situation.

They came out several times, replacing 3 micro inverters. None of them fixed the problem. Fast forward, after several calls to the company, with no, or little return calls, the thought was to replace the panel. I kept calling, trying to get information about the panel, with many lame excuses., and of course no return phone calls. I'm sure they probably blocked my phone calls. Their customer service is extremely poor unless you talk to the owner. What a shame. find another company deal with. God forbid you need a repair.

We also received two other quotes from competitors for reference. From the beginning Valley Unique was the most responsive and willing to work on the design to meet our expectations. We felt Shauna and the entire team listened to us and was committed to exceeding our expectations. They were fair and willing to work hard to deliver the exceptional results my wife and I were hoping for. If we had feedback they listened and if we had questions they answered them. They helped track our progress with PG&E all the way through approval. The system is installed and they are still reaching out advising and following up to make sure we are happy. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for honest, fair and committed customer service.

    BEWARE!!! We signed…read moreup because we were told our monthly payment would be a fixed $470 and that solar would save us money. What was never clearly explained to my family was that the payment increases every year. At $470 per month, the deal sounded reasonable. But after reviewing the terms, the payment will rise to about $550 per month in 5 years, around $667 per month in 10 years, and over $1,000 per month by the end of the agreement. During the signing process, we were also encouraged to verbally agree and were told that reading the contract in detail was not necessary, and that we should simply trust what was being said instead. We were also pressured into signing the contract. In hindsight, this made it difficult for us to fully understand the long-term cost structure at the time of signing. Had we fully understood the escalation in pricing, we would have evaluated the offer differently. After the sale was completed, the sales representative stopped responding to messages, which added to our frustration. For anyone considering solar, make sure every promise is documented in writing and take the time to carefully review the full contract before signing. Do not rely solely on verbal assurances from a sales representative. Thank you for making us purchase a $120,000 system Alex Linares. Especially after we told you that my mother was laid off. Update: Please stay away from Empower my mother called them and they basically said she's stupid to trust them and to take them to court.

It will literally take them one whole year to install a simple, basic solar panels and then after that, good luck with getting anything done from them and I would literally really recommend do not work with this company.
