  Install slow and other electrical agreed on was ignored. Mike never contacted me after many times contacting Kelly for an update. If you have a nice driveway. Do not let them park in your driveway. Their trucks leak oil. It took me 2 weeks to clean the oil off my driveway.

  We highly recommend North State Solar Energy… we are so impressed! We have complete confidence in them. Since installation September 2020, never have paid an PG&E electric bill; with credits to the PG&E account for our positive production. We have a lot going on with heavy-duty air conditioning, 3-refrigerator/freezers along with a swimming pool that runs for many hours a day. Installation was effortless - they took care of all of the engineering and permits.

  The installation went well. People were great. I run my AC at 73 and once in a while at 72. I have not had an electricity bill since day one. I have trouble with the internet connection device so I judge my way. No PH&E bill is all the indication I need.

  Northstate Solar Energy put in a solar system at our home. They worked very hard to get us in before the deadline. Their work was neat, professional and finished under budget while keeping us informed of the process at every step. I highly recommend them to friends and family.

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.

• Established

  “couple had been looking into solar since 2005 and 2006 after moving to their new…”

• Licensed

  “and operated by Michael Houar, a licensed contractor for over 25 years, the…”

Its website also mentions warranty and years in business, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

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

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.
• —Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Magalia is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
• —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.
