Fiedler Building Company delivers exceptional solar work backed by standout long-term support. We analyzed dozens of reviews and couldn't find a single negative comment about their workmanship, customer service, or follow-up. One homeowner told us his system has run flawlessly for 20 months, and when one issue cropped up, Adam fixed it at his own cost. Another reviewer got roof-saving advice during installation that prevented serious damage down the line. What sets this team apart is their continued responsiveness years after the panels go up. Reviews show homeowners calling Adam two years post-install with questions and getting detailed answers every time. (If you've ever tried reaching a contractor after final payment, you know how rare that is.) The crew handles permitting and city inspections without burdening you, and several customers mention drastically lower PG&E bills within weeks of going live.
If you want an installer who'll still pick up the phone two years later when you have a question about your inverter, Fiedler Building Company is the rare contractor who treats follow-up as part of the job, not a favor.
Edwin had Adam Fieldler install a pretty high-end 5 kW, grid-tied solar system with battery backup on his small home. He ended up with a setup that’s been performing smoothly for about 20 months — when PGE goes offline for an hour or two, the household doesn’t even notice. Last year the system even returned a few dollars from PGE, which felt like a nice bonus. There was one hiccup, but Adam stepped in and repaired it at his own expense, which made a strong impression. The lasting takeaway: reliable performance plus an installer willing to cover the only problem out of pocket.
Bradley had a rooftop solar system installed when Adam noticed problems during the install. Adam stepped in with practical advice that averted a potential roofing disaster and helped correct the issue before it caused damage. He has remained an ongoing resource — he still reaches out to Adam with questions two years after the installation. The detail that lingered for him was that the crew didn’t just mount panels: Adam actively protected his roof and kept supporting him long after the job was finished.
Albert hired FBC Solar to convert his business to net-zero energy — a tricky retrofit on the Humboldt Bay Area, where persistent fog shapes system needs. He worked with Adam and Shari and quickly found them extremely helpful, responsive, and well versed in local conditions; Adam’s knowledge about fog-zone performance drove the design choices. After comparing other bids, he discovered the competing proposals would not have met the site’s requirements, and FBC’s plan has delivered performance in line with what he was promised. The installation proceeded quickly and efficiently, the array looks professional, and the system has behaved as projected so far. He also learned that FBC is licensed and insured — a detail he emphasizes as critical in California — and warns other buyers to ask every installer for contractor license and insurance, because an injured, unlicensed worker can leave the property owner exposed to litigation. What stuck with him most was the combination of Adam’s local expertise and the practical reminder to verify licensure and insurance before signing anything.

Brad hired Adam to install a rooftop solar system and ended up with more than a clean installation — Adam stayed unusually responsive long after the job finished, answering questions even a year later. He also pointed out several trouble spots on the roof and explained what to watch for; that practical guidance proved invaluable when Brad tackled a few minor repairs himself. The detail that sticks: Adam didn’t disappear after the install—his ongoing, roof-specific advice made follow-up maintenance and DIY fixes much easier.
RoseAnne Sobkow found a contractor who could tackle everything at once: her 23-year-old solar array, an equally aged flat roof, persistent drainage problems, and the need for whole-house backup power for future SDGE outages. She hired Adam Fiedler and his FBC team, trusted his integrity and deep knowledge, and watched them upgrade the old solar system, replace the roof, correct the drainage, and install a backup generator. The most memorable part of the job was the all-in-one approach—one reliable crew handling electrical, roofing, and drainage so the house now has a modern solar setup and a generator ready for outages. She points anyone considering solar, a whole-house backup generator, or construction work to FBC because of that combined expertise and the clear confidence Adam inspired.
Daniel contacted Adam at FBC to get monitoring set up for his rooftop solar. Adam responded quickly with clear, helpful guidance and scheduled two visits. On the first visit Adam repaired faulty wiring and brought the panels back online after discovering the original install had left connections badly rusted. On the second visit Adam installed real-time monitoring and patiently walked him through how the system displays generation so he can interpret the numbers. He ended up with working panels, live data, and the confidence to check at a glance how much power his roof is producing.
Ryan brought Adam, Sheri and their crew in for a home solar install and watched them take charge of the messy parts. They cut through the city's and PG&E's permitting, kept the job moving, and wrapped up much faster than he expected. He ended up producing energy in no time and walked away especially impressed by how smoothly the team handled the red tape — he thanked Adam for getting him up and running.
Doug Miller wanted a straightforward, reliable solar installation for his home and found that in the hands of Adam and Shari. He received clear guidance throughout the process, a tidy, well-executed installation, and prompt follow-up service. The personal attention from the team stood out, and he ended up with a system that cut his PG&E bill significantly. The detail that stuck with him was the combination of hands-on support and an immediately noticeable drop in utility costs.
Sharon chose FBC for her home solar installation and found they fit the job better than other contractors she considered. She watched the crew work carefully and appreciated how thorough the installation process felt. After the panels went up, she leaned on the team when questions came up and they stayed responsive, answering follow-ups and smoothing out details. She enjoyed working with Adam and Shari in particular and walked away confident the system had been done right and that help would be available if anything else came up.
