Reviews: 4.9 Stares Based on 15 reviews

• L D.

  Over the past few weeks, I looked for a reputable vendor to install both a PV system and a pool heating system at my house. In addition to the two big companies, I hand picked a few smaller vendors solely based on Yelp reviews. Solar Technologies was one of the vendors with excellent Yelp reviews. And I can attest the stellar reviews are well deserved.

  I was referred to Jeff McBean through my financial advisor who had done a great deal of research into the murky world of solar installation. We met with Jeff McBean several times, and found him to be very knowledgable and straight forward. Our system has been up and running for several months and is not only meeting, but exceeding Jeff's expectations. I would have rated our experience 5 stars if it were just based on our interaction with Jeff, but the Sunpower least is really poorly written, vague and very one-sided. My wife is an attorney and let's just say there was a lot of red-lining. The other drawback is the length of time it took to get the system running. Jeff's team installed the system in 2 days, very professional and well- done, but it took several months for all the inspections and connections to PG&E to be completed. I'm not sure how much of this delay was Sunpower's fault, and how much was PG&E's but it was lengthly.

  After considerable research on solar systems, components, installers and prices, I decided to go with a SunPower system installed by Solar Technologies in the east bay. Our system installation was just completed a couple days ago and I can report that we were extremely pleased with how everything went. (We haven't yet started generating any solar power obviously, so I cannot comment on the system's actual performance, so this review is mainly as to the experience with Solar Technologies, as opposed to the performance of the panels themselves.)

  Just completed my first full year of electricity generation from a 16 solar panel installation by Solar Technologies and I am more than pleased with the results. Yes, I reserved judgment for one year to be happy not only with the upfront contracting and installation interactions, but also with the internet service, system reliability and savings they promised-- zero issues since startup and almost 8% greater electricity production than forecast. To be fair regarding the forecast, Solar Technologies informed me before installation that their modeling is conservative and I could get 5-6% more energy using the particular SunPower panels they recommended for my job.

  We had thought about solar for years but never spent the time to research and follow through on it. Last fall some reps from Sungrade Solar came knocking and next thing we knew we were contemplating going with a PPA agreement where they would put up the panels at no immediate cost to us, but we would agree to buy our electricity from their finance company for the next 20 years. But I'm the type who needs to research any decision thoroughly, and thankfully I did before going forward because once I started really researching I found out that different solar companies use very different equipment and designs. I think going solar in any way you can do it is still going to save you $ vs. sticking with PG&E rising rates, but if you want the maximum return you should consider buying your system outright (with a solar loan if necessary) and going with the most efficient panels which are manufactured by SunPower .
