Planet Solar

My boyfriend and I purchased a house a few years ago, and the first month we moved in, the PGE was outrageously expensive. We went from $180–$200 PGE bills to $650, so we decided to look into getting solar panels. We did a lot of research and had a few solar companies come and give us estimates. We had quite a few questions to ask, and Marilyn was the one who was so patient and answered all our questions, especially the financial ones. In the end, Planet Solar had the best offer with warranty and pricing, on top of the knowledge Marilyn shared with us too. So we decided to go with Planet Solar. Marilyn suggested we have 25 solar panels, but we asked for 3 more panels just in case because we heard a lot of horrifying "True-up" stories. Signing the paperwork to complete the entire process was easy and smooth. It took about a month and a half, I believe. We had some hiccups with the county of Fresno regarding the house (not ours or Planet Solar's fault), but everything was solved after a week or so. We had to wait for a few days for PGE to do the inspection and turn on the line too. The actual installation only took 2 days, and we really like the fact that on the roof, there are no wires exposed, they did such clean work. Once the panels were up and running, she even called me to check if everything was going okay. Since we had the solar panels, I haven’t had any "True-up" bills, only credit from PGE. I will use Planet Solar again if I need to add more panels. Their customer service is exceptional, and I would recommend them to everyone who is interested in getting solar panels.

The team and planet solar was very knowledgeable, helpful, efficient & professional . A great experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend!

Planet Solar was one of the best companies I have ever worked with. I looked around and asked around for a good solar company. Planet Solar was recommended to me by a friend and I made the call. Marilyn was my first point of contact and she solidified my decision to use Planet Solar. She was thorough and knowledgeable and very easy to talk with. I had done some initial system size estimates based on everything I knew. Once I spoke to Marilyn, she designed the correct size system and actual told me I didn't need as big of a system as I had estimated. Once we agreed on the details, a contract was drawn up and work began very quickly. They pulled all the necessary permits, ordered all of the supplies and kept me in the loop the entire time. Installation was quick and professionally done. They were able to go through the attic which minimizes the conduits on the outside of the house. The workers were all professional, polite and always cleaned up their mess. A few short weeks later, I was producing electricity. The only low I have about going solar, I wish I would have done it sooner.

Let me start by saying I have no connection or allegiance to Planet Solar. (other than being a happy customer) They were the fourth of four proposals that we got and they were the cheapest of the four, even though they proposed an almost identical system and components as one of the other companies. Cost was the biggest factor in going with Planet Solar and we are extremely glad we did. From our first meeting with Marilyn we just felt like we were in excellent hands, and dealing with someone we could trust, not your typical sales person just trying to close a deal, and it didn't end there. Everyone we dealt with from Jason who came out to do the pre installation inspection and the foreman Juan who was there on the day of the installation were very professional and courteous, exactly the kind of people you want working on your home! I highly recommend getting a quote from Planet Solar if you are serious about getting solar! We are Happy we did!!!

Thank you Planet Solar for all that you did. Honest company and willing to go the extra steps.

Before I selected Planet Solar, I spent quite a while looking at bids from 10 other solar providers. I wanted to make sure I understood what I was buying before I put out the money. It was clear when I spoke with Marilyn that she is very experienced and knowledgeable with the industry and with the various options that I was looking at. Their price was not the lowest but it was well within the range of other quotes I received, and it was clear to me they had the best solution. The installation went flawlessly, and it was clear to me that Cesar and Romero knew what they were doing and they provided a clean, professional installation. I recommend Planet Solar without any hesitation.
