The installation was great, as was Aadi's responsiveness before and during the construction. But we are seeing none of the savings that were promised in the proposal. The bid projected savings of $4,800/year and a payback in a little under 8 years. Instead our energy bills over the first 6 months of the proposal have been almost identical to before the system. When I investigated I realized that the projection was calculated as though we were under "residential services region X basic" when instead we were in an NEM 2 plan based on our previous solar installations. So the new system bumped us out of the NEM 2 to the new PG&E Solar Plan, which nets our energy by hour rather than by day. This was never communicated by Solarponics. The result is that despite paying Solarponics $60,000 to install the new system we're paying PG&E just as much as before. When I reached out to Aadi he referred me to Ron Spann, who responded once telling me it looked like I was owed an apology, then once more saying I had received everything I was promised. Ron has not responded to a subsequent note sharing our energy bills and highlighting where the bid was made in error.

We have been working with Solarponics since they installed our initial solar panels in 2015. We have since added additional panels, two Tesla batteries, and, most recently, a car charger for our hybrid vehicle. The work, and subsequent support, has always been exceptional and working with them has been a pleasure.

Great service.

They are a long time Central Solar installer. They do very good quality work.

Very efficient and friendly. Always responsive to my questions.

I spoke with several solar companies, and I also used to be in the solar business myself. Solarponics provided the best level of support before and after the sale. The sales information was very thorough, and as a solar professional myself, I understood they were being very honest and speaking with a great deal of integrity.

Solarponics is a full stack solution. They have the expertise to install, setup and manage your solar needs. You have a one stop company to go to if there are any issues.

I am happy with their work. They did a good job.

Sales, Installation, follow up and price were all as expected. I've had three completed billing cycles and the production results meet expectations

Jeff was very thorough and responsive to my questions. The installers did a great clean job! Financing was a snap!

Everything through the entire process was just done perfectly. They're very clear about what they're doing, they explain things very well, the system works perfectly. I just can't think of a negative.

We chose this company over other solar companies because of their excellent reputation and the fact they were local.

The pricing is a little high than most people.

Ordered on Jan 25; solar generated on May 4. They have several accessories, like EV chargers, solar water heaters, and batteries.

Excellent service across the board!

We only had one problem and it was delays on the power wall.

The project intent was to increase our existing ground array output. Solarponics did a bang-up job on our original 9.12 kW DC installation back in 2015. Our property appears to be using a bit more energy than less as time progresses, so we had space on our racking structure to accommodate 3 additional 325 watt panels. All it took was a phone call with Deana del Sol to initiate & schedule the work. Within a week or so everything was contracted online and the installation crew made the trip out & took care of business. We live in a rural location where reliable service work is important and very much appreciated. So far, utilizing a local resource, Solarponics, has been the right thing to do for us and we are happy to continue supporting such a well respected company.

Yes, I would because I rarely recommend anything to anybody.

We have had Solarponics here for five years now. This last time was just an addition to the system. We bought a Tesla, so we needed to have some more power. I think it is a great system and that they did a great job.

The field crews are great but the office staff and project manager is completely inadequate.

I had to ask 3 times and reject their engineering plans to get the equipment where I asked. I had to pull county records so that they could pull a county permit. Their installation team ran over a tree, left pieces of metal all over the yard and handprints all over the ceiling and walls.

Did a good job, happy with the installation overall.

Solarponics has been very professional! They answered all my questions, gave me options to chose from, and the installation went smoothly.

I'm extremely pleased with my new solar installation! Solarponics provided a great experience from sales to installation.

Solarponics is very professional. We are very happy with them.

Lots of good to say about these folks. I'm not sure there's anything I'd change.

The whole process at Solarponics was clear and easy. They came at the scheduled time, kept the job site clean, and happy to answer any questions we had.

I have already recommend them!

Very professional from start to finish. The Solarponics team made the process effortless. Special thanks to Ron for all of his help, follow up, and coordination.

I am super happy with my install. Solarponics was a pleasure to partner with. I thought the panels might be an eye sore, but the actually look pretty cool!

Solarponics is highly professional in every aspect of the project. Great communication with office staff and our sales rep, Phil, kept us informed and apprised of the project progress all through the venture. Great follow up.

Local, knowledgeable and personable. Totally recommend them. Steve & Cathy Brody, Cambria

Very pleased with the whole experience. Once the permits were in place the work started and was finished quickly with minimal impact on our life. Highly recommend Solarponics!

In today's world of box stores and unprofessionalism, Solarponics rose way above what I would consider the national average. They are very, very professional, knowledgeable, and could solve problems that weren't ordinary.

Extremely knowledgeable, always prompt, always polite, and it was a pleasure doing business with them.

Each step in the process was perfect. Excellent staff and product. We recommend Solarponics.

I had an excellent experience with Solarponics, and have already recommended them to several of my neighbors. I would gladly work with them again, and recommend them to anyone interested in the best solar products and installation.

I already have recommended the company to others.

I've already recommended Solarponics to friends and family, top notch contractor.

The whole project went really well and we are very satisfied.

I was so impressed with the installation, estimate, and follow-up. I would highly recommend them!

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - They were very professional. They had a lot of follow-up and guidance. They were very conscientious and did an excellent job on all three meters.

Excellent company. Wouldn't hesitate to use again or recommend to friends.

Solarponics was recommended by a neighbor as being a quality installer...I did not do comparisons with other companies. apart from what I thought to be a very expensive 'product' I was/am pleased with the results..it is nice not having a monthly electric bill of several hundred dollars, but I am aware I will have an electric bill to deal with at the end of the year.

Extremely fast and efficient process. High quality workmanship. I was generating my own power in no time!

Solarponics, Inc. did everything perfect except they left a ground rod sticking out of the sidewalk. They actually left two rods sticking out but they came and repaired one and left the other one. I have had several people trip over the rod. I tripped over the rod last week coming in my home.

I would highly recommend Solarponics. The Solarponics representative, Lawson S., explained the system, our options in great detail. We are 100% satisfied are are only sad we did not have solar panels installed before.

Sales process and project design and planning went well until a glitch in installation. They had to bring in extra guys to get things right even though a planner came out in advance to evaluate everything. They made adjustments and everything went well. There was a time setting on the inverter that needed to be set, after I noticed the readings were off. Never did quite understand why the Year to Date and Annual generation amounts were not the same. Something about testing in the factory, but there is a big difference.

They did a great job, they were very neat. You can't even see it from the road.

Lead Source

Lead Source - A colleague at work recommended them to me.

I recommend Solarponics without qualification. Further, I can't say enough about my Sales Representative (Solar Analyst), Lawson Schaller. Lawson met with me on four or five occasions, explained things thoroughly, answered all my questions either on the spot or later after further investigation, and never tried to pressure me into a commitment. He told me what he felt I needed and, at the same time, what I didn't need. After the sale, he fully explained the set-up and made sure that it was running properly. I could not have expected more from Lawson or from Solarponics.
