SolarCity

Buyer beware — Thanks to the city of Berkeley they pointed out how Solar City overcharges home owners. After comparing several quotes I found the sales folks at Solar City have to sell systems larger than what you need because there systems are inefficient. What they say on the phone compared to what’s in the contract was much higher.
These guys are into solar to make as much money as they can. BEWARE.

We had put off installing solar power for a long time because the wiring in our house just wasn’t up to it. We had an old corroded PG&E wire bringing power from the street to our old corroded fuse box — yes, fuses — Two 30-​amp fuses ran it all, quite precariously!
Then Solar City came over, and provided a thorough explanation of the process. They designed a system which included an upgrade to a brand new breaker panel. PG&E replaced their old wire at no charge, and now we have a fully updated system.
There were a lot of «best parts» to the Solar City process: their people are stellar. We were impressed with this organization, from the first contact with Jamie Trower, then Andy Carda in sales, their outstanding install crew, the «Beta» team, including Pablo, Naveen, Luis, Daniel and Hakim. They knocked this job out in about half a day, on a Sunday no less. They worked as a well-​coordinated team should, and left everything in perfect order. The on-​site work including the estimation, main panel upgrade and installation took less than two days.
In addition, at every point, everyone was very polite and knowledgeable, and answered every question patiently. I’ve also contacted Solar City’s customer service after hours on a weekend. And guess what? You get a live human being on the line almost immediately who knows how to solve problems. We are very happy we went with this company, glad to recommend it, and give it our best: FIVE STARS.

We are saving a ton on our PG&E bill! SolarCity has an amazing group of people that are there to help you through every step of the process… From applying for the loan, getting the panels on your house and making sure PG&E to doing their job too. We are so happy with the outcome that we would recommend SolarCity to everyone and anyone looking to save money on their electric bill. There are many steps to this whole process and we are glad to say that each person was respectful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to be there when we had questions.

We just signed up with Solar City thru Howard Growdon. He is super and awesome.
My husband and I felt that Howard was very patient and that he answered every single question we had.
The sign up process didn’t take long at all. Howard is someone who I will be recommending to all of my family and friends.
We are looking forward to joining the Solar City Family!
