  I highly recommend you get competitive quotes, at least on solar batteries and watch for change orders if you do business with these folks. This is what happened: 1. I had an original contract. 2. The first contract had to be dropped due to items outside of Cal-Solar's control. (Fair enough). 3. Cal-Solar provided an update battery contract to an installation (solar installation) they sourced, they designed, they permitted, they installed, and they completed. 4. Cal-Solar wanted a change order on a system that had no changes and yet Cal-Solar claims the installed system had unknown items. (Kee

  salesman was rude and did not have time to answer questions. He was not in the business of giving advice or insight on a project.

  I have worked with four solar companies now. These guys were #1. I would caution all of you that there are a lot of bad solar companies out there. most companies promise you the world send you the bid and then they just can’t make it work. From start to finish these guys work very well and got the job done. I qualified for a battery rebate and they helped me with PG&E. The whole job was super professional. Shout out to Tim, Josh, Gared,Colton and Oliver. (The the first tech too that came out for the initial site survey). I highly recommend this company.

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

• Warranty

  “move to the front of the line with guaranteed support within 2 business days.”

• Established

  “County and neighboring communities since 2000. Come work with us! 149 E. Main St.,…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

• It posts on Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

• —The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
• —We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
• —We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
