"The same thing happened to me as it did to Joe: I had my system built, but then I had an issue approximately six months later and phoned for servicing, only to learn that the company had closed and abandoned all of its customers. The twenty-year guarantee disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Their self-congratulatory tone while discussing their previous employer led me to the conclusion that they consider this to be acceptable behavior. A class action lawsuit is warranted to force them to fulfill the abandoned promises." - Ray
"In 2016, I hired a solar installation firm that is apparently now known as "I love my solar." The system was purchased for $34,000, and the business ultimately shut down a year later. Then I came upon this firm. Despite being a newly founded business, reviews can be found going back to at least 2007. When I open the reviews, I see content written by Solar Company employees. Be wary; if it's the same firm, buying a 25-year guarantee from them won't do you any good if they go out of business and reopen under a different name." - Joe
"I have tried calling their toll-free number, their number with the 510 area code, and their website, but NO ONE IS RETURNING MY CALLS. I am trying to receive a copy of my lease agreement from an installation that took place in 2013." - Albert
"Warning! You will never receive a return phone call or service after your system is up and running since there is no longer any profit to be made off of you. Our home had solar panels installed by Mark Danenhower (now of I LOVE MY SOLAR) of The Solar Company when we acquired it a year ago. All documentation, guarantees, contact details, etc., for our system are at hand. We've had astronomically high PGE bills and, after having PGE and other solar firms check things out, we've concluded that our solar panels/system aren't doing their job and aren't enough for our size house.Mark has received many calls, texts, and one actual conversation with us. He had to go soon but will get in touch again. Since early June, when I first tried to contact him, he has not answered my calls. As we are getting a new roof installed, we regretfully must now have our panels removed by a different provider. Due to Mark not responding our calls, we've had to hire a different firm to complete our warranty work, put new panels on our roof, and remove the old ones. This was the worst experience ever and was handled in the most unprofessional manner. Choose a reliable business that stands behind their products and provides services beyond the first purchase and setup to avoid unnecessary headaches. Extremely dissatisfied!!" - Jayme
"Bad company, to put it mildly. Doesn't reply calls and hasn't been out to fix my panel. It's no surprise that his first firm failed. The claims made by "Mark Danenhower" have been debunked. Don't do business with them!" - Ed
"The Solar Company, myself, and PG&E had a quick phone conversation to calculate our annualized power bill. It's a good thing they inquired about next year's consumption since we did expect it to increase. After calculating our projected increase in energy use, they suggested a solar power installation that would allow us to completely do away with our monthly electric cost. During heat waves, we typically turn on both of our air units. Even if it's 90 degrees outside, we'll be nice and cool inside. We took up the loan they suggested, filed for the 30% tax credit, and now our PG&E bill is under $10 a month. Wow, that's incredible! The assessment, permits, and installation were all handled by The Solar Company, and they delivered on their promise that our solar panels would completely reduce our electricity cost. They kept every promise they made even after 2 years! They are the ones to contact if you want an open and honest process for installing solar panels. " - JK
"Since The Solar Company's crew put solar panels on my roof two years ago, I've been meaning to write a letter of thanks. The Solar Corporation has always been extremely forthright and reliable. They put me on the phone with PG&E for three minutes to find out how much I usually spend on power each month over the course of a year. They also wanted to know whether we intended to increase our power use, and we said that we would. Two years of disuse forced us to finally replace the air conditioner in the basement. Only the unit at the second floor was being used. The Solar Company suggested a system, responded to all inquiries, performed an excellent installation, obtained all necessary licenses, and switched on our system. After 2 years, our regular payment is between $5 and $10. Together with the low-interest equity credit they arranged for us, we were able to completely pay off our system. They kept every promise they made, and now I look forward to receiving our monthly bil. It's been in the mid 90s, yet even though we've had to use both air conditioners, we know our total electricity bill won't exceed $10. It's obvious. The Solar Company, you have my deepest gratitude." - James
"There were just two minor issues: Mark (the owner) promised to be there on the first day of the installation to address my concerns and make sure everything went well, but he never showed up. Another little issue I have is that Mark never followed up with me to see how satisfied I was with the installation. He put all his trust in me to call with any issues, but luckily there were none. The installers were great, so I would definitely use them again." - Michael
"Our home is perched precariously on a rocky incline in the Sierra Nevada. Some businesses we contacted in the past were only interested in doing ceiling mounts for homes and not the ground. Mark, needless to say, took the bait and ran with it. He completed the task swiftly and flawlessly. The location was left in immaculate condition after heavy machinery had been there. So if you're considering going solar, it's best to get in touch with Mark first." - Suzanne
"My home's system was installed during construction. The solar company worked with my general contractor to get the job done quickly so I could move in before the home was done. We began utilizing the system in June, and there have been zero issues since then. Have a balance of roughly 1100 Kw on credit. I am thrilled with how the installation turned out. " - Elizabeth
