I cannot say enough good things about the Genesis team, especially Jesse! We had our solar installed over a year ago and could not be happier. Jesse was always upfront about what options we had to choose from, the pros and cons of each, and the cost of each. Jesse and his team got our solar up and running in no time, much before our expected completion date. We went through our first true-up with SDG&E late in 2018 and we didn't owe a penny, in fact we had a small credit! Jesse still checks in to see how things are running and if there are any questions we may have now that we have been going for a while. I recommend Jesse and Genesis California to all my friends and co-workers because they are simply the best!
UPDATE! We are about a year and a half in to having our system and I'm still stoked on how our system performs and how the install looks. Gotta love sticking it to SDG&E!! I recommend Genesis to everyone I hear that is looking into solar. Thank you Genesis!! If I could give 20 stars I would. These guys rock! We used Genesis Energy Solutions (Genesis CA) to install our system here in Escondido the beginning of 2016. They did an impeccable job start to finish. They installed 24 panels in two days and had us up and running with SDG&E within a week after that. Don't think they did a sloppy job because of that short time span either! Jesse (owner) runs a tight ship and their attention to detail is second to none. Before choosing a company I did a ton of research and spoke with a lot of other people I know who have installed solar before choosing a company. We chose Genesis for several reasons: local company, top quality products with better warranties, better financing, and we felt like we had a personal relationship with the company versus becoming a number to some bigger company. Josh Young took care of us all throughout the process even after signing the contract (not just a sales guy who passes you off to someone else after you are done). I ran him through the ringer with questions about a ton of stuff (micro-inverters vs single inverters with optimizers, questions about durability of panels (we live on a golf course), installation, racking, conduit, etc, etc) and he answered all of it with a smile. He also checked in along the way to make sure we were happy and answer any questions we had. I can watch our system from my phone to see how it is running real time which is great. The system is also monitored remotely so if anything fails they will know and can come fix it ASAP so you don't lose production. They also use micro-inverters (better product) so you don't have to worry about shading from trees or other houses affecting your production and also don't have huge inverters to take up space on your garage wall or on the outside of your house (all things I researched). They communicated with me every step of the way, took care of all necessary paperwork, and made sure we were happy with the final product. Jesse (owner) even came out to the inspection with the city building department to make sure it happened (after the city canceled on us twice). Where else can you get the owner of a company to get out of the office and meet you at your house?? I could go on and on with how happy we are with this installation and overall experience in this great investment for our house. If you are looking for solar (if you aren't you should) look no further. Great local company. Great products. Above and beyond professionalism and customer service. Choose Genesis, you'll be glad you did. Talk to Josh Young!!
Update: it has been one year with our system. Everything has been flawless. The system put preformed our expectations. Our total bill this year was -$62.00. About half way through the year we changed internet service providers and I knocked my net monitoring offline. Genesis called me immediately and said they noticed the system went offline and asked if everything was okay. I told them I was plugging the system back in and would call if I needed help. They offered to send a tech out to help. I just plugged it in myself and was back up in no time. Again, the owner, Jesse called me back to say everything was back online. Best customer service even after the job was done. Very happy.

We purchased our solar through Genesis, and they did an awesome job with installing the solar panels on our house! We've been using their solar for 2 years now... no problems... but they are always here to provide help and assistance when needed. They stand behind their work! Thank you for making it so easy to purchase and finance our solar, as well as making it easy to upgrade our system later!
