I can't say enough great things about our experience with this company and highly recommend them to anyone looking to install solar on their home.

Every time I call, Dan Moran has picked up the phone and demonstrated expert level mastery of all aspects of my solar project. From Tesla App support, to regulatory issues, to battery support, to cleaning/maintenance of my panels and even SGIP incentives, Dan had answers. I haven't experienced this level of competence in any industry over the last 20 years. This company is remarkable and I'm incredibly grateful for Dan and Northern Pacific Power Systems. Wish I could give 10 stars!

My name is David and I had a terrible experience with this company. I was kept strung along for a year and a half I do not have one solar panel on my roof. It cost me probably $40,000. I was out now lied to about so many things that have come to light as a strong along month after month embarrassingly, the number is probably low. It's hard for me to look at the real facts of it all beyond the fact that I know I've been out and now played here. I even stuck up for these people when I heard some similar type of news in the very beginning of my experience with them because what they said was so believable, but it was all a lie. I would not trust this place. I would not recommend this place. I tell you right now the contractor hold no accountability without going all the way to the contractor state license board. I suggest if you've had a bad experience with these people that's exactly where you go and you write against their license. It's the only way it's gonna shut this person down from continuing to play people. I am a homeowner and Petaluma for the most part I'm disabled and so is my wife. And tell these people I've never written a review about anything I've never shared, especially as embarrassing as this is with anyone said something so embarrassing and taking advantage of, but they claim so much on the fact that they're local bashing all the big companies that by now I would've at least had solar, but it's all a bunch of smoke mirrors all they're trying to do is get your money. I imagine it's a fair amount of people they do legit business with, but I promise you that is not what has happened with me because I was too trusting because when the warning signs came up, I just ignored them and wanted to believe them and let us go on for about a year and a half. I'm so upset. It's hard to write very much right now. I'm trying to put it out there though and get it all together so I can really connect with people and understanding they do have a way of getting to you when you open the door to the idea of doing business with them.

Mark was full of information and helped us plan the size and placement of the panels. The panels were installed perfectly in one afternoon, and, after the PG&E signoff we were up and running, cutting our energy usage by 80%. Sonoma County has a program for financing solar projects in the county by long term loans that are added to your tax assessment, so you do not have a big one-time outlay for the panels, and the loan moves with the property, so if you sell, you do not have to try to recoup the price of the installation through increasing the sale price of the home. Simple, easy and wish we had done it sooner!

We have had B. Henry's out twice now and will be scheduling a third service in a couple of weeks! I…read morereally appreciate their professionalism when it comes to being upfront about costs. They gave us a sliding scale depending on labor for specific jobs. When they invoiced us, they included receipts for parts... this is something that we rarely see but it creates a sense of trust and honesty. There are no surprises. Our first job was a lesser, more simple, job-we had at few sockets replaced one of which was a very loose socket that we were concerned about arcing. The second job was more extensive as there were several "needs" in one day. They replaced overhead light fixtures (3 of them), replaced an old and VERY outdated (probably from when our house was built over 35 years ago!) smoke/fire alarm, and installed bedside wall mounted lights. They are GORGEOUS!! On their third visit soon, we will have heated flooring in our master bedroom installed. B. Henry's Quality Electric is the place to go for your electrical needs. The team is nothing but helpful, and professional. They are community oriented and are always there to help when you have an electrical need. It's nice to have an Electrician that you can trust especially when it gets to be overwhelming not knowing what needs to be fixed. We heard about them from word of mouth, and those people are ABSOLUTELY correct. Thank you Bill and your team... and we will see you again soon!

First, I had a complicated schedule and they were very good about working it out with me. Second, the work they did was spot on. It was exactly as I had requested.

But they went out of their way to get the extra bit done. I don't know why anyone would hire another Electrician. If you're looking for one right now, do yourself a favor and book with B Henry's.

Along the way we had plenty of time to research rooftop solar and local contractors. First Response Solar stood out from the very beginning. It was clear that they understood why they used each piece of hardware and how these pieces related to each other and to our needs. We chose them over three other proposals and could not be happier! In addition to doing top notch workmanship, Chaz and Dylan are easy to work with. Our system performs exactly as they had described it to us. Obviously it is a big step to invest in a solar roof and we feel that we now have a system that is well designed, perfectly installed and fully operational. We cannot recommend First Response Solar highly enough.

The original solar systems were installed years ago by SolarCraft and Ambrose. When it came time to add a backup battery in Napa, we chose SonoMarin first. That project went so smoothly that we later asked them to install a battery on our older, more complex Marin system as well. Despite the added complexity, they handled both installations efficiently and got everything up and running without drama. Ayelet in the office deserves special mention. She provides near-instant responses to texts and emails, keeps everything moving, and somehow manages to coordinate all the moving parts with ease. If you've ever dealt with solar projects, you know how valuable that is. She had seemingly infinite patience for my never-ending questions, handling them with professionalism and speed. She also helped me apply for relevant rebates and helped interface with the nightmare that is PG&E, making it all look easy. The whole team jumped through hoops to get the system in before the tax break expired. SonoMarin is a small company, localled owned and run by the same people I originally worked with at SolarCraft on our first install years ago, which really shows in the level of care and accountability. Avner and Nick have built a great company. Pricing was competitive--frankly, all three bids we received were in the same range--but the execution and communication set them apart. I would recommend SonoMarin without hesitation.

I've had a great solar power installation experience with Simply Solar. SS's customer rep, David…read moreFrank, patiently answered a million questions in easy-to-understand terms. He found many savings and benefit enhancements along the way. In spite of the solar credit expiring at the end of 2025, David put together an HDM plan far superior to anything I found when getting competing quotes. It simply lowered the cost without complicating ownership or savings or adding any ongoing cost. Speaking of competing quotes, they beat everyone else. All together, I saved about $20,000 without undue complication. Production Manager Jack kept me fully informed along the way. He always responded promptly and clearly to every query. He scheduled and completed the solar installation much earlier than promised. The installers also travelled a long distance outside of their service area to do the job in the Sierra foothills. So, even if you think your home is outside of their service area as shown on Yelp, you might give them a call and see if they can do it. Installer Gio and his team were excellent. Our panels were going on a tile roof and I had concerns about the L brackets pulling up the tiles as they slide under the downhill side of tiles. They ground channels into each of the affected tiles for these brackets so that the roof is still as water tight as a duck's a**. Gio, the electrician and main contact on site was both smart, friendly and patient in explaining the details while the solar panels, Tesla PowerWall batteries and solar inverter were installed. I'm now using Tesla's app to monitor the whole system, which is working perfectly and is fascinating. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Simply Solar!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. This company operates in bad faith and will bait-and-switch you. I…read moreWILL BE REPORTING THEM TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU TODAY. We originally chose them a few years ago because they offered free solar panel removal and reinstallation when we eventually needed a roof replacement. The initial install went fine, but trying to get them to honor their contract now has been a nightmare. Bait and Switch: They are suddenly demanding a $3,600 fee for the removal. Even their salesperson admitted this fee was not indicated in our main agreement from 2021, but is now picking apart vague fine print (outside of our contract) to justify it. We have sent the contract over multiple times and asked them to highlight the language where it specifies this charge. Unethical leadership: Leadership is aware of this $3,600 gap, but they don't want to back down. Terrible Customer Service: They are dragging their feet and refusing to coordinate with our roofer, who has been consistently asking for dates to remove the solar. Ignored Emergencies: We explicitly told them we have an active roof leak and asked them to prioritize the removal so we could fix our home. They did not care. Once they finish your initial install, they will abandon you and refuse to give you the time of day. I am reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. If you are looking for solar, be very wary and look elsewhere.
