Outstanding. We couldn't have asked  for better quality, service, communication, or pricing than we got from Valley Solar. We interviewed and got bids from three companies. We found Valley Solar on Angie's List. Valley Solar had the most competitive pricing and excellent service ratings, plus they were available in rural Yolo County. They  worked with our schedule, which  included some vacation time, and never missed a beat with us or with PG&E in getting our system in correctly and promptly. We cannot say enough good things about Valley Solar.

“Competitive pricing and excellent service. Upon due diligence I had 4 quotes. Brian Tsuda matched the lowest and provided a better product with microinverters in each panel. The crew was very deliberate in explaining the process daily and answered all questions. We were energy producing upon completion. We love our 12KW system. Bill reduced from $1100 to $10! Yay sun!”

“Excellent. All employees at Valley Solar are top notch. My experience started with Brian, who was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was the number one factor on why I chose Valley. The install crew was top notch too. They arrived on time and did an awesome job with the install. They cleaned up after themselves and I would never know they were there. Carlos came early the day of the inspection and was helpful and informative when setting up my equipment to the internet. Overall this is an A+++ organization and I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“It went great for the most part. A few issues came up along the way such as county permits, but Valley Solar worked hard for us to get the job done. After the arrays were installed, they came out to make sure we were satisfied and personally went over monitoring and what to expect in the future. I especially liked that they came to our residence to talk to us when we had questions. They also offered the best warranty in the market, not only with the panels, but with installation and labor as well. I look forward to working with them in the future.”

“My wife and I selected Valley Solar in December to install a 4.14 kW system on our home - - we highly recommend them. Brian Tsuda worked with us to ensure that we had a system that would produce our desired amount of power while taking into account several placement challenges, including our request to have a system that wouldn't require us to remove an oak tree. Brian and Kevin Robinson provided excellent service, answering all of our questions promptly, keeping us informed, and making sure that the purchasing, financing, and installation proceeded smoothly. Our panels have been providing power since February, and are on pace to slightly exceed our projected annual output. On balance, our panels should provide about 100% of our electricity. Since the installation, we have referred Valley Solar to family members.”

I’d like to preface this by saying I never do testimonials, because I hate to write. But I had to share my experience with Valley Solar, as it was just too good not to.

On the very first day of installation, the install team wrapped up with a small amount of work remaining to be completed on a second day of installation. However, upon learning that the next day’s forecast called for rain, the team stayed at my home and completed the remaining work – instead of just postponing the rest of the installation until after the inclement weather had passed. The team was very cooperative and considerate in this effort, and it was greatly appreciated.

The installation team placed the monitoring for my system, along with the circuit breaker box, in my garage. Now, I didn’t want the circuit breaker box just hanging on my wall – I wanted it to be a bit more visually appealing. The team gladly obliged my request to cut out portions of the garage wall in order to inlay the box. They did an excellent job cutting out the necessary space, and the plaster board was very impressively repaired. The team patched the areas so well that you can’t even tell the insertion was made.

The crew that came out to my home was very knowledgeable, tidy, and well-organized. More importantly, they were always pleasant and had a smile on their face when I asked them to do something – even though they may have classified a number of my requests as a bit off-the-wall. I have OCD, and I like things lined up perfectly. If I noticed something just a bit off, I asked them to fix it – and with a smile, they did just that. It was clear to me that the customer’s satisfaction was of utmost importance to the Valley Solar team.

From the sales process, to the design and permitting, through the system installation, and right down to the activation of my new solar system, everything went exactly as Valley Solar said it would ... and I couldn’t be happier.

Sales accommodated my need for options to look at, design worked with me on configuration changes, management answered my questions and the installation team was very knowledgeable and able to accommodate my need to understand everything.

Thank you, Valley Solar.

Valley Solar did a great job on my home solar system. The Valley Solar team was professional and courteous, and were kind to my dogs. They were on time, on budget, clean, took care of all permits, and dealt with SMUD. My system works exactly as promised. I highly recommend Valley Solar.

Valley Solar is a fantastic, small, local business. Their prices are competitive, their service is professional and personal. They use the best panels in the business. Check out Valley Solar if you want a great solar experience.

I had Valley Solar install my system in May 2015. It went as planned and met the timeline schedule. They provided me a regular update throughout the installation process. The company is very customer focused and they are using their own employees for the work. Their price was competitive. I am very happy to have used them and extremely pleased with their work and performance. I would recommend them to anyone needing to install solar.

Andrew's Testimonial

Prior to Brian, our only experiences with solar companies were the door-to-door types that were extremely high pressure. I was shocked when Brian left from our initial visit. He just left, he didn't push the system on us or make us feel guilty for wanting to sleep on it. He just let the numbers do the talking, which is the best sales pitch.

As for the install, Chris and company arrived on time each day. Everyone was extremely professional and greeted me by name; although subtle, that is a very personal touch. Each day they worked efficiently and cleaned up their work site and left it as if they were never there. I noticed that they took the time to make sure that every hole they put in our roof was sealed. Further, I was really adamant that conduit not be run across the roof or outside the house, and I realize that it would have been a whole lot cheaper for you to run it outside the house. That said, I appreciate that it was run internally as much as possible.

As for your safety program, I take safety very seriously in my personal and professional life. I work with heavy construction contractors as part of my profession and safety is a big part of my organization. I first noticed safety was a priority with Valley with Jon came out for the site inspection and took the time to tie off his ladder. During the installation I really appreciated that they all wore hard hats, were tied off on the roof, delineated the work zone, respirators in the attic, and tied off the ladders. As a home owner I really appreciated these extra precautions. I would never want someone to get hurt working on my house.

I'm sure there are companies that could throw up our system in one day, but I noticed and appreciate the quality of the installation and the time that was taken to ensure a quality installation.
