Aviara Solar Contractors - Profile & Reviews

I can not believe how unprofessional of an experience I have had with Aviara Solar. They gave me a quote and guarantees that they could do the work and then when they found that changes had to be made they provided another quote. After trying to work with them on the new quote I was completely brushed off. I contacted them and requested that my $1,000 check be returned since they breached the contract and because I wanted them to know that I did not want to write a negative review without giving them a chance to address my concerns or explain what had happened. They gave me a bunch of excuses and convinced me to give them a second chance with a new system so I tried again. Again they brushed me off. Not even a courtesy email saying sorry we over extended ourselves and can't provide you services. Just crickets.. I still have not received my $1,000 check back. It's been almost 2 months since the contract was canceled and I requested the $1,000 check back.

Excellent service, Everything was done timely, expertly, and exactly as planned. Not an extra penny, up and running timely. The job was clean and professionally done. Got three estimates, this was the least of the three, and by far the most personal service. Love the HERO financing they set me up with. I did not have to put any money out of my pocket for down payment and will not have to make any payments until November 2018!

This company is absolutely top notch. I've researched various companies and was told my property wasn't suitable for solar. Not the answer I got from Aviara Solar. They study and check out your property, come up with creative solutions and execute it swiftly and professionally.
For that it is a somewhat complex process they make it as easy as it can get from helping to secure loans to navigating and giving tips with the tax refunds.
After I spent 1 1/2 years renovating my house, dealing with various contractors and headaches, Aviara Solar was the most relaxed and secure I felt in a long time. Zero drama, 0 headaches and all promises fulfilled ahead of schedule!

Aviara solar was a wonderful company to work with. We were very excited about going solar but we had many questions about the process. Aviara solar very patiently and straight-forwardly answered our questions. Each step of the way, from designing the right system for us, permits to install and final sign-off, they were there for us as promised. They are clearly passionate about the solar revolution and they did their work with utmost respect for our space. They met and exceeded our expectations and gave us full confidence all the way through. And they helped explain the tax and related credits both before, during and after our work with them. These folks are real specialist in the San Diego market. They're the folks to go with!

My husband and I had decided to go solar on our home, mainly to do our part to help the environment but to also lower our electric bills. So we did our homework on the solar panels. We read a ton of different reviews and studies on the companies that made the solar panels, then once we decided on what brand we wanted we found that Aviara Solar were the company that installed the specific brand and product that we wanted.
Well what can we say about Aviara Solar....an absolutely marvelous company to work with!
Jesse Kruszynski was our Energy Consultant and Cameron Banyan was our Project Manager and the two of them were total stars. We had two guys come to our home to look over our roof and electric box and then the guys who came to install our system, they were all fabulous.
This whole process has been such a breeze, Aviara Solar did everything. The only thing we had to do was sign paperwork and even that was all done on the laptop.
We have had our system now 2 months and we couldn't be happier!
Aviara Solar is just THE BEST, thank you guys!

Aviara solar is a great company to work with. They are knowledgeable, honest, hard-working, committed, have integrity and communicate well. They had great references including among La Jolla homeowners in our area. Aviara Solar completed the system design and permitting process (including HOA approvals) faster than expected. I rate them 5 stars because they were extremely diligent about details, kept me fully informed as to what was happening, and got the system working when they said they would. Our system has now been operational close to 3 months during the shortest and coldest days of the year (Dec, Jan, Feb), and we've generated nearly all our electric usage during that time. I expect the solar panels will more than fully cover our usage once there is more daylight in spring & summer. I'm a very happy customer, and I recommend Aviara Solar without hesitation.

Most high praise to the people of Aviara Solar!!! You make excellence look easy. Had a REAL bad experience last go round with a contractor and their horde of subs. Had to manage that project myself, everyday. It was torture. So, we shopped, researched, interviewed, shopped, interviewed, researched, and prayed this time. In the end, we made the decision to go with the company and product we felt could provide the best system, service and guaranty on this long-term asset/investment - sweet, sweet SOLAR POWER. Aviara, you do not disappoint. Mind BLOWN - expectations SHATTERED. No subs. No scrubs. No BS. Best experience with a contractor - EVER, and that's high praise since Cornell Garage Doors is also totally awesome... Anyway, Aviara - we left this morning for work, and you were completely done by sunset. Installing our entire system in one day. ONE DAY. What!? I know, you did. What!!?? Shhh. I know.. you did. You lived up to every review I read, and I read them all. Now, I will add to them. Thanks for energizing our home, and renewing my faith in humanity (especially construction contractors). Some companies still do GREAT work –AAAAAviara !

Aviara Solar installed the system on our residence. It was a great experience. The proposal showed the design and estimated savings over a 20 year period. The savings we realized will pay for our son’s collage tuition. When they arrived to install the system the team was very professional and careful. They installed it on time and stayed with the project all the way through the inspections with the City of San Diego inspectors. They installed a great monitoring system I can watch on my smart phone. Aviara took my phone calls and taught us how to use the monitoring. To sum it up the job was complete and professional. I would highly recommend them if you are considering solar.

When we were researching whether to go solar or not, we looked into several different companies. Out of them all, Aviara Solar stood out the most due to their incredible competitive pricing and awesome staff! They're truly kind and honest people. Aviara Solar truly knows their stuff and are such a pleasure to work with!!! I love that they are honest and up front about everything and work hard to get you a stellar deal!!! We are LOVING our solar system. Jesse, Cameron, and Jackie are all simply amazing! Couldn't ask for a better staff to work with when making such a great and intelligent investment! You will not regret going Solar with Aviara Solar! Believe me, after tons of research, they are the very best choice!

We had 35 solar panels installed by Aviara Solar. It went very well. They keep in contact, have a phenomenal, professional crew who take personal pride and care to do the job right the first time. They answered all my questions and well explained everything in detail and gave me a lot of great advice and guidance. They are very customer friendly and treat your home like their own. I'd recommend these people in a heartbeat. I could not be happier. I'm so glad we went with Aviara Solar. They are a full service company and I highly recommend them.

Aviara solar installed a solar system on my home. The entire process was handled very professionally from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable about the process and its operations and were very helpful throughout he whole process. Their crew was great to work with. The crew was hard working and very polite. They were a delight to work with explaining every detail. I have watched my electric meter spin backwards for a majority of days and even when my A/C is running. The best option if you looking for solar companies.

Aviara solar installed my solar panels in 2 and 1/2 days. They worked all day, into twilight, cleaned up after they were done, were pleasant, and even did some extra painting of conduits that they did not install. I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of solar systems. They even apologized for the noise when working on the roof which was totally unavoidable. Our house was a difficult one since it has several levels above the street and does not have good level footing for ladders. They improvised for safety and placed the inverters out of our view which meant more work for them. They got the city permits and the city inspector came out the day after they were done. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants solar power.

As soon as we decided to go solar ,we asked around for recommendations and suggestions for solar power residential system. We decided to go with Aviara Solar using my cousin's suggestion and we couldn't be more thrilled .
We scheduled a meeting with Aviara solar at our home to discuss the solar system and to show them our electrical usage history .We signed the contract at our first meeting and we are extremely satisfied.
They explained to us how the solar system works, solar benefits, selection of modules and inverters ,roofing attachments, rebate process, design, installation, inspection and timeline for each phase. They were really professional and answered all our questions. The installation was very smooth and professional. We didn’t have to put down any money out of pockets using the financing they provided. Our payments are lower than our electricity bills. We no longer have to stress over rate hikes from SDG& E. Now we plan to buy an electric car that we can charge with our own solar system and get rid of our auto gas bill too. Thanks Aviara Solar.

Definitely recommend Aviara Solar. I had a 11.5 KW System installed and I feel that I was helped very professionally from the first phone call and walk through at the site job, until the guys left a clean working place behind. All my questions were answered by the team and I even got a little education about how solar works and the benefits of having one, all the way to the ideal system size for us. The team leader was involved at all time and the process and installation went very smoothly. The System is working like a charm. Keep up the good work!

All around a great company. From the very start of our journey learning about solar they were super helpful. Great honest customer service. Our sales guy Jesse Kruszynski walked us through each part of the sale and install. Showed us our savings on a very user friendly proposal. He was professional and friendly even when I called a million times a day with new questions. We love our solar panels and will recommend this company to our friends and others.

Aviara Solar installed one the largest residential solar array installations in La Jolla for us at a great cost. The sun now generates more power than we can use at our house. Through technology we can monitor individual roof array panel generation and consumption down to the individual electrical appliance. Self sustaining and detailed. Everything was great about the process from design to permitting to installation. I would recommend them highly to any of my friends and family members.

I first got the idea to install a solar system when I looked at mint.com and saw the thousands I've paid SDG&E over the past few years! Why would I want to keep paying them when I could OWN the equipment myself?

The prices for solar panels have been dropping and there is a 30% federal tax rebate. Now was the time for solar. In order to get the net metering agreement with SDG&E you need a licensed contractor. Who should I pick?

After reading a Union Tribune article that referenced Aviara Solar I wrote them an email. After meeting with Jesse Kruszynski, I knew the project would be in good hands. His team is excellent. The installation team was . The bidirectional meter was installed quickly after installation (this is done by SDG&E) but the paperwork was obviously submitted in a timely fashion by Aviara Solar).

Now I produce solar power during the day and SDG&E credits me for the excess production. At night those credits are applied. It's good for the environment and good for your wallet. Working with Aviara Solar has been a great experience. I highly recommend them!

I'm very happy with my new solar system! I recommend Aviara Solar to everyone. They are very professional, knowledgeable about solar and we're able to answer all my questions. They installed my system in two days and paid attention to detail. They even helped me get financing at low rates. It is paying for itself. Would highly recommend them.

I must say we had a wonderful experience with our home solar installation. We have already recommended Aviara Solar to a few of our friends. Hopefully, they will take advantage of the FITC. Aviara made the decision extremely easy for our family to switch to solar.

I wanted to own my solar system so I purchased it from Aviara Solar to get the full tax benefit. Considering this being a long term investment, I wanted to make sure everything was legit and well organized. Installation went well and the crew was great. The system also looks great on my roof. I financed through the HERO program which has a few advantages compared to a bank loan. The cost for the system is added to my property taxes, which is a great way to pay for solar.

Aviara Solar was very professional. They were great at explaining the process of going solar and what to expect. The sales process and installation was fun and easy. We are pleased with our savings and look forward to years of clean energy. We decided it was best to buy locally and support the local community.

After interviewing several solar other companies it was a very easy choice. Our consultant, Jesse was knowledgeable and clear in explaining the system and the processes to us. We were also very happy to be getting the newest technology available and have recommended Aviara Solar to several of our friends.

I was referred to Aviara Solar by a very trusted friend. Had I known about Aviara Solar years before, I would have gone solar much sooner. What I was looking for was to have a top notch system on my roof with low monthly payments. But unfortunately other companies would advise me that what I wanted was financially out of my reach and beyond my budget. As I was insisting on getting the kind of panels that I wanted with all the bells and whistles the proposals were coming in too high and by the time I would try again a few months would have gone by and I would have to get started all over again having wasted a lot of time. Aviara Solar solved my dilemma. They were able to give me top notch panels with micro inverters for a greatly discounted price. They were very knowledgeable with the different aspects of going solar and gave me some good advice pointing out very important points that other companies either did not know about or did not want to bring up. I am very happy with my solar system and am very thankful to Aviara Solar for doing such a great job. I will brag about Aviara Solar any chance I get.

couldn't be happier with my experience with Aviara Solar. My consultant, Jesse Kruszynski, was totally professional and was right on top of the whole approval & installation process and kept me posted every step of the way. Some of the words that come to mind in describing my experience include: professional, amazingly helpful, honest, punctual, thorough, and price competitive.

I was very pleased with Aviara Solar’s services. Their attention to customer service was what made me ultimately decide to go with them. They were timely and responsive on everything. The installation was completed smoothly and faster than promised. I would highly recommend Aviara Solar to anyone.

Great price, great installation, neat and clean crew. Aviara Solar made sure I was completely happy with the install. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!
