We hired Earth Electric to install a Solar System with panels on our roof in 2023. It has worked so perfectly that I kept forgetting to write a review to say how happy we have been with them. From first inquiries to the finished product, communication was prompt and clear and helpful. All employees were professional and respectful, and I trusted their expertise. They took care of all the necessary permits and communications with PG&E and the city. An app on our phones lets us monitor the Enphase batteries and track the power going in or out at at any moment. We have had zero problems. We generate more power than we use. It was a great investment!
Let me start from the beginning. I was looking for a solar company I could get ahold of and trust. After several calls to get quotes from other companies, What I found out scared me. Almost all these companies were based out of state and the installation teams were either from Sacramento or down south, L.A. area. I wanted someone local I could trust. Then I came across Earth Electric! I can't say enough about Earth electric! From the very start, Sheryl walked me through the process of how it all worked and presented multiple options for equipment without any Pressure at all. Within a couple days she sent Zack out to do a job site survey. Zack was well versed in solar and answered all of my many questions. I had a good feeling about this company and I was right! After signing the contract which Sheryl went over in depth with me, The fun and savings began. They spent 3 days doing install which was top notch and clean. All the permits and inspections went thru without a hiccup! I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them in the future. Thanks again Sheryl and your team at Earth Electric, You have a great Team! Greg Tripp
We recently completed our solar panel project with Earth Electric and I have nothing but praise for this company and their in-house crew (they do not subcontract), led by Sheryl and Zach. I started my solar project in Jan 2023 (almost 18 months ago). The house we bought has a metal tile roof, so most of the common installers like Sunrun, Tesla, Sunpower etc. declined to install panels on this kind of roof. I started reaching out to local installers instead, and Earth Electric caught my eye thanks to their stellar reviews. I had done a fair bit of online research about solar before I started, so I had plenty of questions in the very first call I had with Sheryl. She patiently answered all of them and walked me through the whole process, including how to get into NEM2 before the deadline. It felt like a frank discussion with someone really knowledgeable about their field rather than a sales pitch. Zach came by few days later for a site visit and of all the other installers I met, he was the only one who took the effort to get on the roof to make sure it was ready to install panels. Earth Electric's quote wasn't the lowest I had, but that kind of due diligence and honest dialogue was what ultimately convinced me to go ahead. Then came the hardest part - dealing with PG&E. My main service panel was old and needed upgrading to a solar ready panel, which was also included in my contract. Earth Electric got the NEM2 application approved and accepted well before the deadline and submitted the panel upgrade request. PG&E came back saying they needed to upgrade the transformer in my neighborhood before I could connect my solar to the grid. After that came a long wait of over a year while PG&E went through their process of engineering designs, city permits, finding contractors etc. Through it all, Sheryl kept personally following up with PG&E helping to keep the project moving. After PG&E was done in June 2024, the actual installation went smoothly even though it was going to be a somewhat complex project. The new electrical panel was to go onto a wall adjacent to the old panel so it needed all the old wiring to be connected through to it. The main PG&E power lines had to be moved to a new masthead on the roof, which needed co-ordination with PG&E for the wire swing. The solar panels were up within a couple of days while the main panel upgrade was ongoing. The crew was thoroughly professional and were done within a couple of weeks. They did an excellent job including all the stucco work in place of the old panel. City inspection passed without any problems, and we received the PTO from PG&E within a day of final inspection. From the day I signed the contract 18 months ago, Sheryl stayed in regular contact with me, and I don't think I could have gotten better service and more personalized attention anywhere else. This is a company that truly cares about their customers. If you are considering solar, I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

As part of a new house construction, we were required to install solar. I contacted several companies for quotes and settled on Earth Electric, largely because Sheryl was so helpful in spec'ing out our system and answering my questions. Our project was complicated by the fact that permanent power was not yet connected to the house due to a required infrastructure upgrade by PG&E. At the same time, we were trying to get in before NEM2 expired in April 2023. Sheryl and her team helped us deal with PG&E and the NEM2 process and made sure our application was accepted for NEM2 even though the installation could not happen until October. Once permanent power was connected to the house, the Earth Electric team did a fantastic installation - very clean and integrated nicely in visible areas. I've been enjoying much lower power bills ever since. Overall, I was very happy with Earth Electric from start to finish of my project, and I highly recommend them.
