    First off. I never got the gas card they promised. When I stopped Pat from shoving paper work in my face and telling I’m stupid for not working with him, I started reading the papers he was handing me. After hearing the “great numbers” on the price I quickly realized that the monthly expense (which was not written down except on a sheet of scratch paper) it was more than I was paying for my electricity, not less as the door to door sales man said it would be. Pat wouldn’t show me the contract unless I was ready to sign it. I asked about the tax credit and what “same as cash” means and all he w

    Don't work with them. They use a BBB review from another company. The last appointment I had with them, their liability insurance was out of date. They don't put ANYTHING on the contract except what you owe them and a few pieces of the system. Don't expect them to give you the gas card they promise. They don't tell any specifics about the financing except a ball park figure of what you will pay and often it's not less than your electricity bill. After talking to prior employees (and there are A LOT) I learned that they hope for a high turnover rate, so they don't have to pay commissions.

    Finally a solar company that provided a solution that did not require me to cut down my redwood trees!! Adam was amazing. My electricity bills are finally manageable. Thank you Adam. I am sharing the name of the company & website with friends....

    Worked with Adam LaVigna from ESS. Great guy and great company. Now own my solar equipment, not leased. My last PGE bill was $11 vs $270 before. The ESS team was always professional.

    Simeon Scallon - You do know that everything you wrote is a lie. That is all. EES Solar is one of a handful of solar companies that do not push leases, and follow through on everything they promise. They offer top tier equipment and very clean installation. Their systems are designed to maximize the homeowners savings.

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.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

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.

What we don't know

  • 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 found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • 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.
