What is this?

What is this?

We display two types of written homeowner feedback on GuildQuality member profile pages: Comments and Reviews.

Comments

In response to our customer satisfaction surveys, homeowners share lots of comments about construction quality, communication, or any other question asked in the survey. Guildmembers can selectively publish these comments here on their profile page.

Reviews

Reviews are different than comments. These are star ratings that homeowners ask us to publish, and they come with a written description of the type of experience they had working with their contractor. We publish all of the reviews we receive: positive and negative alike.

They did a great job, they had a few snags that they worked their way through. They were great.

Solare Energy performed flawlessly from the first sales visit through system activation including follow-up instructions and replies to questions. My system is cranking energy at the planned level and I'm on the way to achieving all my solar goals including financial benefits.

In addition to great service and everything else, one thing I was surprised at and Solare Energy didn't even use to sell me on it was how relatively "camouflage" their installation is. My installed panel reside about 3" above my roof tiles where all the other in my neighborhood reside about 6"-8". ...

On the recommendation of a friend who said "working with Solare was the best part" of her remodel, I chose to use them too. I agree wholeheartedly. It was a terrific experience.

I highly recommend Solare Energy. We looked into solar extensively in 2012, but at that time it didn't quite pencil out. Well, by 2016 it did, thanks SDG&E. Solare was the only company we found where the installers were also employees, not just sub contractors. Their work is top notch, and they use quality materials.

I solicited bids from 17 contractors and happily awarded the bid to Solare Energy. First class installation and support.

They were professional,quick, thorough and I enjoyed working with them.

We enjoyed working with Solare Energy. It would have been better is the system worked immediately instead of months later. It would have been better if Solare Energy would have made up the financial difference for the time it didn't work.
