Sunpath Services

I knew I wanted to do business with Chet soon after meeting him. He came to my property where I wanted solar and was all over it. He got out a ladder, got up on the roof with me and produced a device that measured the amount of solar energy at various locations. Soon, he had done a pretty thorough analysis of what was possible. I also just liked him. He wasn't a money grubber, just wanted to do a good job and get paid.

Estimate was fast. They listened to my concerns and made adjustments to the plan. Work was scheduled a couple weeks out but it was worth it. I've been satisfied with the result.

We're very happy with Sunpath! A solar project is complex, and not everything always goes exactly as initially planned. What matters to me is how the contractor reacts in this case, and Sunpath excelled! Our project had 3 arrays installed on 2 separate roofs, and had the electrical panel replaced at the same time. From signing to turning on, it took 47 days. There were two hickups on the way, which Sunpath had to work around. First, the connection to the electrical panel could not be done as planned (had to do line side tap vs. through breakers on the load side), so the permit had to be updated and re-approved. This coincided with a weeklong shutdown of the permitting office due to software upgrades, so we had some delay there. The second issue was that the contractor replacing the electrical panel made some mistakes, and hence we didn't pass the inspection. Sunpath reacted lightning fast - failed inspection Monday, contractors were out again Wednesday, passed 2nd inspection Thursday. Sunpath is a smaller company, you deal with the owners directly - a great plus. I couldn't be happier with them and would absolutely go with them again. They were also the only company that actually came out and did measurements on our roof, everybody else just used satellite images. Sunpath gives a 5 year production guarantee (if the system produces less than their estimate, they pay for the difference in power that you had to buy), plus 10 year workmanship warranty. Main steps for a solar install (all done by Sunpath for us): Design system, send plans to city Apply for net metering with PGE (I signed via docusign) City approves plans (--> permit) Sunpath installs and connects to electrical panel City inspection Once inspection is passed, PGE comes out to swap out electrical meter --> operating permit Now you can turn the system on!

We are so happy we discovered Sunpath through working with Energy Sage! Sunpath has been awesome from start to install to follow-up. Communication was always timely and on target. We trusted the people we worked with and were happy they were local to Portland, OR. The site visit allowed for more solar panels to give us very high efficiency!. The quality of the REC panels and the IQ8 micro inverters was an important selling point for us. We cannot recommend Sunpath highly enough!

Sunpath had excellent communication throughout the project. They weren’t ever pushy to “close a deal” and let me initiate the conversation and take my time to decide if I wanted to proceed while I got multiple quotes. When I ultimately chose Sunpath, for what I saw as the best value, they kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and the actual install only took 1-day (32 panels). I’d recommend Sunpath to anyone looking to add Solar to their home.

They worked with me well, made me understand what I was getting and gave me a great deal! I am very satisfied with the final product.
