Valley Solar Inc.

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. Hooked on Solar and Capitol City Solar do but I came away from their engineering evaluations with concerns about their assessments and recommendations for the install. Our home has a Spanish tile roof which is very fragile and an install on top of the tile would be a disaster. Capitol City's engineer was adamant on doing the install his way, on top of tile, despite the obvious concerns of his customer (Me!). When Brad come out to evaluate the job, it was obvious, right away, that he 'got it'. He told me what I needed to know and not what I wanted to hear. He gave me his professional recommendations which included installing a smaller system (24 panels/8 kW) than I originally wanted (27 panels/ 9 kW) because of the improved aesthetics the smaller system would have. He said that I could go with the larger system but that it wouldn't look the best and, more importantly to me, that he 'wouldn't be proud of the job'. He instilled confidence in me right away that he was the contractor that I wanted to work with. His lead installers Chris and Bob were excellent. I have since learned that the manufacturer (SunPower) uses Brad and Valley Solar to do the install on their commercial jobs as well as the installs on the homes of their employees.

Valley Solar installed our solar PV system a few years ago. They did a great job on the installation - and responded quickly to any questions that I had along the way. We have been so happy with the results! We are also considering a new HVAC system and will certainly call them to do that work. They also did the installation of a new energy-efficient new pool pump, which has been amazing. Our pool is completely clear, and we pay less in energy!
