Sunlight Solar, Inc. - El Cajon, California

I chose Sunlight Solar, Inc. after researching a few solar panel companies and finding them to be good in follow up and pricing in comparisons. My solar panels were operational in 45 days from signing the contract with, salesman who explained everything in detail. Ramon, Operations and Engineering helped in design modifications to get optimum efficiency and HOA approval. Now 10 months passed very satisfied with the installation and performance. Nice to have negative electric bills. Courteous and efficient one day installation after they obtained all the permits. I recommend them and have referred them to friends and 2 neighbors because of the efficient performance. Those 2 neighbors projects completed on schedule too.

These are great people. They installed the solar panels quickly and gave me further assistance promptly when I needed it. I'm enjoying a $300.57 credit to my bill for the excess energy my solar panels produced! I LOVE not having to pay for electricity! Well worth it.

Overall Excellent Experience, Would Reccommend

I first scheduled a consultation with a Sunlight Solar representative, James, who came to my house about a week after I called. I believe they had earlier availabilities, but scheduling the consult for a week out was what was most convenient for me. The consultation lasted roughly an hour, and I really grilled James with questions in the final 20 minutes or so. He was knowledgeable and capable and was able to answer nearly all of my questions at that first meeting.

The one thing that James couldn't answer at the time, and needed to talk with the company's technicians about before getting back to me, was not a fault of his, but rather was a consequence of the odd way my electric was installed when the house was built. Despite this oddity, James discussed the situation with the techs and called me back with an answer in as little as 2 or 3 days, if I recall.

While these details were being figured out, James was able to proceed with constructing a detailed estimate, fitting the parameters I requested on an installation. After thinking it over, I moved forward and signed the paperwork agreeing to the proposal. I informed James I would call back within the week to schedule the next step in the process, in which technicians were to come to the house and get the measurements they would need to install the solar panels in the optimal configuration for my roof's layout.

Then, I decided that I actually wanted a solar system that was a bit more robust, one which provided a little more oomph, so to speak. James worked with me to determine exactly what specs the system would need in order for me to get what I wanted out of it, offered a few different choices of changes that could be made to provide the system with those specs, and once I had chosen the route I wanted to go he quickly updated the estimate to reflect the revised total cost.

Just to give you an idea of how much of a change I was asking for, and how much of a curveball I was throwing at James with this request, at the drop of a hat, after we had agreed on what the project would be, and I had signed the contract agreeing to it: these changes equated to an increase of 30% to the original total cost of the project. Despite this, James never complained and was happy to accommodate my request for these significant changes, once again, after the contracts had been signed and legally, they would've been within their rights to deny me.

Agreeing with the new and updated project, signing the updated paperwork, I scheduled the dates the installation was to occur. I was particular about the dates aligning to my schedule since I wanted to be present. Just in case anything came up during the installation, I would be able to react and respond immediately.

I don't imagine this is normal for most customers, and I'm aware this was potentially a tad unreasonable & I want to bring it up, to comment on the fact that Sunlight Solar accommodated me in this regard, despite it pushing the dates a little farther into the future than they originally suggested. Yet again, they did this without any complaints or pushback. They really bent over backward to make me happy as the customer, and I appreciate it greatly.

As it would turn out, my desire to be present for the installation was not necessary at all. It went off without a hitch. Since that time, Sunlight Solar has continued to be responsive to any requests I have made & to questions I have had. They did not disappoint me at any point, from the start, up to the current moment. Although I have not been a customer of other solar power installation companies that I could compare them to or against, I would nevertheless recommend Sunlight Solar to all others who may be considering installing solar panels, solar power storage, or any other thing made to capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity for the customer.

Wish I could give 6 stars. Ricardo was very meticulous and treated my home as if it were his own. He took his time to make sure everything was done properly and no stones were left unturned. Consistently gave updates with work accomplished for the day and what the plan of action was for the next. Very satisfied with their professionalism and hope to work with them again in the future.

Sunlight Solar proved to be the one-stop shop for our solar and roof needs. Like many homes in the area built 50+ years ago, you want to put a first rate solar system on a roof that will last. Thankfully, Sunlight Solar installed a handsome, efficient roof that we feel confident will keep the cold/water out and keep the solar array up on the roof for decades to come!
Sunlight Solar helped us navigate some tricky junction box and permitting, as well as dealing with plug in dates with SDGE. If there were any delays, Sunlight Solar kept us readily informed and provided reasonable timelines. Ultimately, we love how the solar panels look with their all black grid and low profile mounts!

Some friends of ours referred us to Sunlight Solar, and I am so glad that they did! We've met with other companies, but the sales representatives and customer service personnel with Sunlight Solar are beyond comparison. Very friendly, professional, courteous, and human! They were up front and honest with us from the start. Didn't try to upsell and gave us a lot of information. When install day came, they were early! They got started and had everything ready to go in a few hours. The clean up job was fantastic!! They left ZERO trash behind and even swept our driveway! We always knew when things were happening and exactly what to expect. Thank you Sunlight Solar!!

We used Sunlight Solar for our solar needs and they were great. They were very responsive throughout the whole process and worked within our budget w/o compromising our needs. They didn't recommend more panels than we needed which is not the experience we had w/ some other companies. I was referred to them by my sister and I'm so glad we went w/ them. The quality has been great and we haven't had any issues in the year since we got our panels installed. The electric savings has been amazing and due to that we were also able to get A/C installed to help w/ these increasingly hot summers. I really appreciate Sunlight Solar's professionalism throughout the installation process and would recommend them to anyone looking for solar for their home.
