Excite Energy - El Dorado Hills, California

Heath and his team provided great value and service in our solar installation and follow up warranty work when our inverter failed (manufacturer defect). We referred him happily to our family members too. Heath takes his time to answer questions thoroughly and runs his business with integrity.

My original inverter failed and I needed a replacement. Contacted Excite Energy after a positive recommendation. Heath immediately ordered a more modern inverter, contacted me when it arrived and did the install in a very timely manner and at a very reasonable price. Their customer service and responsiveness really stood out. I definitely recommend the Excite Energy team.

Heath and his team are great folks! Always available to discuss, very knowledgeable and genuinely want YOU to get the right solar install. I''m an electrical engineer and did my homework before talking to them. They know their stuff and easily explained some things that had me stumped.

Heath Kerin and Excite Energy are our go-to people for home solar. Heath was patient with us over a span of two years, always answering our questions and never presurring us to make a purchase decision.

The work was completed a month earlier than planned, was well done and works wonderfully for us. His crew were a delight to work with.

I have consistently and unreservedly recommended Excite Energy to friends inquiring about home solar.

Now two years down range from installation and activation the gross production of our system has been 28.9 MWH, or nearly 14. MWH a year. For this calendar year we're at 7.5 MWH export back to the grid versus 5.5 MWH import from the grid, so we're once again solidly ahead on the import/export ratio.

PGE recently informed us that efficient homes similar to our own use 422 units of energy, while our usage for the same period is 114 units.

And this is with home charging of our EV for the past ten months.

Our system has worked flawlessly, including switching immediately to backup battery power last week when PGE experienced a power outage. Three seconds for the batteries to kick in.

Solar was a great idea, and choosing Excite Energy was absolutely the right choice.

We could not have been happier with the work that Solar NorCal/Excite Energy did designing and installing our solar array. They navigated the (very difficult) Sacramento permitting process excellently. I would and have recommended them to my friends and neighbors. Update: we had an issue with one of our panels—the optimizer went out. As soon as we reported the issue, they got the new part and installed it very quickly…it is not often that if something does go wrong, it is fixed that easily.

I have not had an easier time reviewing a company. The entire team, from start to finish (and beyond) has set the bar so high!

The initial meeting was very productive and professional, and the treatment throughout my solar installation was excellent. There was never a time I felt that my questions and concerns were too much. Even close to a year out from installation, I still get prompt service responses, which is highly valued.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Heath and the Excite Energy team to anyone looking for a solar outfitter. It's been a great experience and my solar production is just as expected.

SolarNorcal has our solid recommendation! Our 20 panel installation has been operating since April 2019. Great things about this company:
1. Great customer service - Heath always makes time to thoroughly explain options, technical details, and customer questions. Calls and emails are returned promptly. This was true in our evaluation phase (prior to hiring them), and after signing our purchase contract.
2. Competitive pricing - SolarNorcal pricing beat three other companies we spoke with (Tesla, Sierra Pacific, and SolarWorks).
3. Successful installation - our grid was installed on time, and the crew maintained a clean work area. We did have some delays with the permit sign-off, but those things can happen.
4. Streamlined warranty work - even though Heath was not responsible for monitoring our installation, 15 months after installation, he notified me that our unit was not reporting, and helped me get it back online within a week. Vince (co-owner) completed the work at our house. PARTS and LABOR were covered under their warranty, no forms to fill out, NO HASSLE, just excellent service.

Thank you, SolarNorcal!

Get a bid from SolarNorcal!

If you are considering adding solar power to your home or are having problems with your currently installed solar system you MUST give Heath a call! My wife and I decided to put solar power on our home 2.5 years ago and are just as pleased today as when we first installed it!

Heath is an electrical engineer not a solar salesman. There will be ZERO pressure from him! His residential installations come from personal referrals from happy homeowners like us looking to break away from our reliance on PG&E. We had numerous bids from solar contractors both locally and in the Bay Area. All very nice people. Heath’s bid was more than competitive but really it was his reputation and knowledge that really set him and his company SolarNorcal apart. He communicated well, had the project completed on time and stands by his work!

We are more than pleased with our solar project and will be using SolarNorcal in the future if we ever move. I highly recommend Heath and his company! If you need any further convincing consider that other local companies have reached out to Him to help in designing some of their own projects! Do yourself a favor and have him at the very least give you a bid. Good luck with your project!
