    Our search for a solar contractor because we wanted a Sunpower brand so we expand my current system. We have always liked Sunpower because its best solar panel, have individual inverter, never had an issue from our old panels, app is easy to understand, never had issues with customer service(when we needed before), 25 yr warranty & rated as the most efficient solar panels in the market. Met up with *** as my agent. He listened carefully what we wanted & what our needs. He gave a great presentation about Sunpower and their battery, which made me more convinced on what I know about Sunpower. He reassured me that my old system will work well with the new one. He also suggested things that we might want base from our needs. We gave us detailed options on systems, lease vs buying and also payment plans. We ended up buying our system.Prior to this expansion, we heard a lot of horror stories my friends experienced when they had their system installed. We had some delays on the start of our installation but it was understandable ( it was raining a lot that several projects would be moved). When they started, everybody was very nice and professional. They explain things to us thoroughly and reinforced things we forget. They are all accommodating to our needs because they are aware I work nights. **** was always easy to talk to. She coordinates everything we need well. ***** was also very helpful. He came to our assistance even when he was already off. *** was still reachable even when we needed help outside office hours. ***, assisted with the inspection, was very helpful also and explained things to us on what is happening.All in all, we are happy with this company. From beginning to end, we highly recommend them if you are thinking of getting a solar system.
