    Owner Brad called me an idiot over some Tesla issue; a very unprofessional company that talks to their workers like they own them. Do not use this company.

    Our choice of Valley Solar (installer) and SunPower solar panels has been an excellent one. Valley Solar provided a hand-holding and smooth process from the beginning, and SunPower system has been running trouble-free and producing above expectation since Oct 2016.

    Valley Solar did a great job on my home solar installation. They took care of all permits with the City, and dealt with SMUD. They were on time, on budget, clean, and the system works exactly as promised. I highly recommend Valley Solar

    Description Of Work: Valley Solar installed an 8 kW DC (STC) SunPower PV Panel System at my residence. Member Comments: From the very first meeting to completion of the job, Brad Price and his team at Valley Solar exceeded my expectations. I spoke with four different contractors before I consulted with Brad about doing the work. After meeting with Solar City and REC Solar and after doing some more research, I determined that I wanted to use SunPower panels for my system. Solar City and REC Solar do not use those panels.

What reviewers keep mentioning

  • system 3

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.

What the company says about itself

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

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

    Elsewhere

    • It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
    • It posts on LinkedIn, YouTube, X and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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

    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 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.
