SunWork installed a heat pump water heater for us a year ago. The entire process went seamlessly - from obtaining the bid, to the installation and the customer service during the entire time, including followup. We are so happy we chose SunWork. read more

Our goal was to achieve Zero Net Energy, and with SunWork we were able to do that... and then some! (Meaning, should still be ZNE if we can ever afford an EV.) SunWork made it possible for us to get a larger system than we had originally planned, because their cost was so much lower than other installers -- thanks to the volunteer labor (literally: THANK YOU to the volunteers who came to help install! You rock!). I was up there on the roof myself, and got my husband and teenage son to do some as well, but homeowners aren't required to do the physical work if you can't or simply don't want to. Our system is coming up on its 1-year anniversary and we couldn't be happier. At the moment, with the rush to get people in the queue before NEM 2.0 disappears in April 2023, I can imagine they're swamped. But if you qualify and can get on their calendar, it will be worth it! read more

I had been casually thinking about getting solar panels for my home for several years. But, every time one of the many telemarketing callers had asked how much my electric bill was, they became disinterested when they heard that mine was about $50 a month. I was too small a fish for them to bother. Friends who had gotten installations seemed happy to have "gone solar." In fact, one was even going to expand her system. She referred me to a SunWork competitor who seemed knowledgable and helpful. Unfortunately, they were too expensive for me to get excited about "going solar." Another friend told me about SunWork. He gave me Bryan's contact info. Bingo! Bryan and SunWork were just what I needed. He was quite straight forward and didn't try to SELL me anything. Just the facts. SunWork's price was about half of the competitor! I signed up. Bryan took care of permits, scheduling the county inspection and submitting paperwork to PG&E for their approval. Installation was completed in one day. Three days later I was all set. Other reviewers have already mentioned how easy it was to deal with SunWork and I can only echo what they said. It is rare find such a high level of service and fair pricing today. I wish I could give more than five stars. read more

Working with SunWork was an amazing experience. Bryan, the lead technician is extremely knowledgable and takes time to explain the process. Since it is a nonprofit we could afford it over the other for profit companies. Bryan gives as many options for number of panels as you would like with no pressure. Elyssa who runs the office, was also very informative and a pleasure to work with. When they did the installation, it was done quickly and efficiently. Bryan stays in touch through the whole process from installation to connecting with PGE. I can't say enough about how conscientious Bryan and the volunteers were and the amount of expertise they displayed. I can't say enough about what an incredible company this is to meet your solar energy needs. Many thanks to you all! read more

Bryan installed a system for us last July and we were very happy with the entire process from start to finish. The volunteers were very courteous and pleasant to have around. Most importantly though the system is state of the art with micro inverters that show us production per panel. The panels are very high end and do not distract from the aesthetics of our home, and we were very pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was to purchase the system. NO monthly lease payments, NO concerns if we were to sell our home that the buyers might not qualify to assume the system and our electric bill is just under $10.00 per month. A win - win! We're so happy we came across Sun Work and Bryan Noel. Andy & Diane Andrews Grover Beach, CA read more

What a great company and a great opportunity to OWN your solar panels at a great price. i recently purchased my 1st home and wanted to get solar to help lower my electricity bill, lower my daily carbon footprint, and save money. SunWork was the right choice. Bryan and his volunteers came in one day quickly changed my home to solar and made my dreams true, and all for 1/2 the price of what the other guys charge - and without any headaches of permitting. Thank you for the great work and allowing me to join in on the project. read more

While Sunwork is a nonprofit, that does not mean it is not for you. It is for anyone that typically pays $50 to $170 a month in electricity! The pay off works to about 6-7 years for any almost anyone, since the system installed on your roof is sized for your needs. In my case we needed 13 panels, and we will likely pay it off in 6-7 years, but we also did it to do the right thing! The costs are low, since SunWork uses a highly skilled project lead and trained volunteers, so you're out of pocket expenses are relatively lower than other systems. My system went in in a 1 1/2 days and we started seeing our meter spin backwards! Bryan is amazing, skilled, knowledgeable and also is great educator! Also , consider volunteering.. read more

The quality workmanship was an extra bonus to the lowest cost installation I could find in the San Luis Obispo area. This company is a non-Profit, so they goal was NOT to see how much profit that could put in their pocket. Their business model is awesome. read more

In a word. . . impressive. I started this process towards the beginning of the year not even imagining that this would go as well as it had. I decided to educate myself, and fortunately I came across SunWork during my research. I couldn't have asked for a better scenario because I was the perfect candidate for their business model, customers who are interested in learning the in's and out's of the system and how it is all put together. Mind you, if you want to be hands off, they cater to that as well, but I think they really would rather have their customers get involved as much or as little as they would like. Before I found SunWork and reached out to them, my mindset was that I was going to do this completely on my own. I feel like going through this process and learning what I did, I have a greater understanding and could probably get it done on my own. SunWork provided me the opportunity to take my baby steps when it came to getting this project going. When I first reached out to SunWork, because of the 'S' Tile on my roof, it wasn't looking like it was going to be a reality. I'll be honest, I begged and pleaded to work with this non-profit, because I knew they were EXACTLY what I was looking for, and I believed the same was true of them, whether they knew it or not. I think I may have convinced them when I showed them that I was in this for all the right reasons. I was not looking just for a bargin, although that was a huge selling point for me, I was looking for a partner and a teacher, Bryan (project leader) was just that. After a bit of begging and convincing, I was told Bryan would have to do a site survey and he would be the final decision making authority. My wife and I waited for our site survey with Bryan and crossed our fingers for the best. When Bryan arrived I did my best not to try and scare him away with how much I wanted to work with him, it worked. He did a very thorough and meticulous site survey and I knew this was exactly what we needed for our home. Bryan got back to me after a few days, said the 'S' Tiles were typically a no-go for the volunteer model, but we could make it work, since they were of good quality. My wife, uncle and I attended both free workshops, (which I also highly recommend) one for volunteer training and the other for "Going Solar", which, by that time we already had a signed contract and a project date confirmed. I went to the class eager to learn and nervous about getting volunteers, especially since we live in Orcutt. I believe by the end of the workshops we had a full list for both days. Fast forward a couple weeks and the project was upon us. Bryan, myself, my uncle, my wife and volunteers got to work. Bryan was so patient as we had a crew of first timers, but as we went the work seemed to flow pretty well. Everyone had a job and a purpose. At times I felt a bit useless, as I was pretty unsteady on my feet and around these types of tools, but I felt included and I felt like I had a purpose in being there, not just a spectator. Bryan worked hard, even surpassing the normal "work" hours to get us ahead of schedule for the following days work, which was really admirable. I'm glad Bryan did that for us because it turns out there was a last minute cancellation (no fault on the part of SunWork) for volunteer. My uncle, Bryan and myself worked hard to get the panels up, wired and the system online by the early afternoon. I could go on about SunWork, Bryan and why solar is so important. I will, but not in this format, I plan on volunteering and doing what I can to get SunWork more projects and more happy people. Bryan was a pleasure to work with, I guarantee your system won't be slapped together and thrown into place like a commercial installer does. read more

I am SO happy with my solar panels from SunWork! They are perfectly installed, and the micro inverters allow me to access my usage any time day or night. The volunteers who did the work were just awesome, and Bryan, their supervising technician, was knowledgable, courteous, informative, and very easy to communicate with. I could not recommend SunWork more. Just a great thing for people like me, who already had a low electric bill, but who wanted to have solar so that I wouldn't be contributing to climate change as much. A beautiful solution to my conundrum. Thanks, SunWork! read more

Wow, what a great service for homes with low electric usage. Solar never penciled out before because of the 10-12 year payback for my home. I attended a SunWork information session and they sounded like a great opportunity for my home. Bryan gave me three quotes with different configuration options. The quotes were 1/3rd the cost of for profit installers. Once I agreed to a quote, Bryan set a date, and was prompt on responding to my inquiries. He and a group of five volunteers showed up at 8 am on a Sunday morning, and installed 8 of the 10 panels. They were missing a few parts and couldn't obtain them on a Sunday, so Bryan and another volunteer came back on Monday morning and finished the installation. I'm very happy with the service and the installation. It looks great and is performing better than I anticipated. read more

SunWork did a great job for us! Bryan and his team of volunteers were efficient, prompt, well-informed and a pleasure to work with. Our neighbor used them to install their system and we took advantage of introducing ourselves to Bryan and the company through that first-hand opportunity. He told us about the informational sessions that they provide for the community and we attended one. We were very impressed and learned a lot about the process, specifics, and cost. It was very educational. That seminar convinced us to move forward. The installation was completed in 1 1/2 days and Bryan was extremely patient and explained every step of the way to us. We are pleased with the product, price, and the service from SunWork. We can heartily recommend them! read more
