Cali Energy

-By providing the unique advantage that no one else could/would give: An on-site tech survey to assess and measure our roof. -This gave us the comfort level to accept a final quote and sign a binding contact knowing there was a certain accuracy. -They had a "no-pressure, we’re just here to give you the info you need" sales attitude. (Thank you Alex and Diana!) -I was a solar-noob on a scary-tight deadline. I learned a lot and fast. Sometimes I emailed Cali Energy 3x a day. They were always kind and patient. -They were willing to fast-track and rearrange their normal process to get our application into SCE before the NEM deadline. -I did a deep dive across multiple sites of their reviews–all stellar. -They included consumption monitoring as a part of the install instead of a hidden extra charge. -Even though they’d never done work in our city and knowing its reputation for strict construction regulation, they were willing to get a city business license just to do our project. Last week we got our first electricity bill. It was thrilling (delivery charges only $12.38) and disappointing (Nonbypassable charges: $22.03). It was a very good day when Cali Energy decided they would quote our project on EnergySage. Lucky, lucky us.

This company is efficient, honest and reliable. Their process and accountability to the customer are second to none. See my Yelp review for pics and an in-depth review.

Cali Energy made the experience of installing solar panels pleasant. They provided a competitive bid and they finished the installation quickly. Special praise for Alex, the project manager. He patiently answered all my questions, always returned my calls, and kept me updated with the status of the project. One of the things that impressed me the most was: every person I interacted with was professional and polite; from the people who replied to my emails, talked to me on the phone, to the installers that I met in person. Highly recommended company!

This company provided an absolutely outstanding service. I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards each and every one who handled my installation. Alex who was my project manager was very responsive and friendly. From the start to the very end he held my hand every step of the way. Truly grateful to everyone at the office who pushed city’s buttons to expedite my paperwork. The installers are also true masters of their craft. The installation took only 1 day which is a mind blowing experience as I dealt with contractors in the past and my experience with them was nothing like this one with Cali Energy. My standing ovation to this amazing company. They are fast, communicative, friendly, and most of all honest! Thank you!

Cali Energy provided excellent communication, design, installation, and final turn-on. From our updated quote to turn-on it took about five weeks. We initially went with another installer in March of 2022. The installer we picked dragged their feet on detailed design and finally told us that they couldn't do it in August of 2022. I contacted Diana at Cali Energy, who had submitted a quote earlier in March. We also had a specific request to site the combiner box on the north side of our house for cosmetic reasons. We also asked that the AC line from the combiner be routed underneath our house to the main electrical panel. She was able to accommodate that request in the system design and provided an updated quote with a parts list. Within a week, we saw that LADBS permits had been pulled and she provided us with an install date. At this point, I asked for alot of the detailed design information, and they were happy to provide it. The install crew ran into a small problem with the mounting clamps, but solved it quickly. A week after the install, we had an LADBS inspection, and received a new electrical meter a couple days after that, with permission to turn on. We're very happy with Cali Energy. I only wish we had picked them first.

My wife and I had a large, new 23 kW solar system installed by Cali Energy as well as a new electrical panel upgrade. Cali Energy gave guided us to use the best, highest efficiency panels with the best performance guarantee in the industry. They did this at a very competitive price. We found the communication with Cali to be excellent, all their workers were professional and competent and they went out of their way to make sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. If you are considering solar, I suggest you get a proposal from Cali Energy before making your final choice.
