Next Solar

Next Solar was one of the first to send me a quote. But then I had an issue because I accidentally pushed "select" on Next Solar inc. I got a call from Alex, the engineer asking me if I had made an honest mistake since I had never spoken to anyone from Next Solar inc. nor have I had even requested a meeting. I said yes and thanked him for his honesty. I have not made a decision on which solar company to hire but even though, Next Solar is not the cheapest, I am probably going to use them. I will write another review when I do. But so far, they are real honest. I was also very impressed with Energysage and Ben in particular. I had a 15 minute meeting with him and he answered all of my questions with great answers and was very patient with me. I really am enjoying this experience with Energysage because previously, I dealt with the Better Business Bureau and the companies that paid to be on their website. Yes, companies have to pay to get on BBB. I didn't know that. So that's why many companies have A+ ratings on BBB and yet on yelp and other ratings sites, they have very low ratings. Dealing with Solar companies has definitely put me on the defensive when dealing with any of them. Also, do not use Lumio or their financing company, Goodleap. They had a door to door salesman come and got my dad to sign a contract. My dad is 78 years old and his english is not very good. Obviously it was his fault for signing. However, he then tried to cancel the contract that night by calling the salesman and asking for a cancellation. The salesperson told him twice that it was cancelled. My dad then told me about the contract and then I read the contract. It said that you need to cancel within 3 days of the signing date. I called the national number and asked if the contract was cancelled. They said that it was not. The salesman had lied to my father, hoping that the contract would be legalized when the 3 days were up (you have 3 days to SIGN THE CANCELLATION contract and MAIL THE PAPERWORK to Utah). Luckily, I sent it overnight and it got there in time but it was a close call. I then went online and found so many other horror stories about being pressured into a sale and then not being able to cancel. Please do your research and don't sign anything until you are 100% sure.

Next Solar did an exceptional job!!! Dosie and Luis were very helpful. They both went out of their way to ensure the process was smooth and efficient. Dosie was always available and very helpful. Luis made a number of home visits and was able to answer all of my questions. Truly appreciate everything they did. I highly recommend going with Next Solar!!!

Can't say enough about my great experience with Next. Dosie, Luis and crew we're engaging, communicative and collaborative every step of the way. One of my main concerns was dealing with the San Francisco/PG&E permitting process, which tends to be lengthy, bureaucratic, and painful. They had my install done within a month of signing the contract, and SF signed off 3 days after the install! It only took another week for PGE and I was producing energy into the grid. I was also very happy with their competitive pricing. Great team to work with!

Next Solar Inc did an incredible job installing our system. Luis was always attentive to our needs, going way above and beyond in every way. Whether it was the level of absolute integrity with the intent on the most minor details during installation, coming out in sub-zero wind chill for hours to personally deal with inspection details, or driving an hour just to come by and show us how to use the monitoring system, Next Solar, and particularly Luis, impressed us during the entire project and I would most certainly recommend them to ANYONE! Anyone is welcome to come by and see the awesome project that Next Solar did for us. Reach out to Luis and tell him I sent ya!

The Next Solar team provided excellent service and support. During the initial search process, the team assisted me every step of the way, providing me with detailed and thorough information on how solar systems work, the upfront costs, and the savings over time. The information was presented very straightforwardly and was easy to understand. Questions were always answered promptly and thoroughly. The installation went smoothly with no issues and the installers were very professional. I highly recommend this company.

I highly recommend Next Solar. Luis and Jesus and the whole staff were great to deal with. They went over the details, answered my questions, and were prompt and professional throughout. They helped evaluate the size of the system I needed based on current and expected usage and even installed my EV charger. I received a competitive quote through Energy Sage and the final system costs matched my expectations. The system was built on time and looks great. Almost a year in, everything is working great, and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
