Green Energy EPC by Makello reviews

Lon M. chose Green EPC after getting multiple quotes and ended up most impressed by Sam’s approach. He discovered that Sam focused on educating him about system options and performance instead of pushing a sale, and EPC spent more time explaining things than any other company he contacted. The system has been running for almost two years, and during that time he referred several friends — all of whom are happy with their installations. He thanked Stacy and the Green EPC team for their work. The detail that stuck with him: a sales rep who taught him enough to make confident choices, backed by a system that has performed well over time.

Jim L. had Sam install a residential solar system on his house in 2015, and the array has run flawlessly ever since. Years later, while working on an unrelated job that required mounting hardware for a standing-seam metal roof, he hit a dead end trying to source the special roof clips he needed. He called Sam, who answered the phone immediately, remembered him six years on, and was eager to help. Sam told him he had the clips in stock and invited him to pick them up that day; when Jim arrived, Sam handed over the fairly expensive parts and refused to accept payment. The memorable part of the experience isn’t just that the system performed reliably, but that Sam and Green Energy EPC provided personal, no-cost support well after installation — answering the phone and solving a practical problem on the spot six years later.

Pappu R. dug into solar options with careful bill analysis and didn’t want an oversized array because SDGE pays little for overgeneration. He discovered that Sam arrived with near-identical calculations and extra factors Pappu hadn’t considered, and what set the experience apart was Sam’s engineer-first approach: he explained technical details in plain language, avoided hard sells and fake deadlines, and mapped out how to plan for future energy growth and efficiency improvements. Sam also drilled into installation workmanship—down to where the crew would drive nails—to avoid the small mistakes that can lead to roof leaks. That practical focus gave Pappu confidence that he wasn’t paying extra for a big-name sales pitch. Sam recommended a roofer who delivered solid work at a fair price. After the sale Sam didn’t return in person, but his crew arrived on time, executed the install cleanly, and even tightened a loose 220V outlet they didn’t have to touch, a small gesture that underscored how friendly and thorough the crew was. Stacy managed the approvals and paperwork, kept Pappu updated, and hit the original timeline. A year on, the roof is holding up and the Panasonic panels “p

Stephanie D. needed a system that matched her household’s usage and ended up with a solar array from Green Energy EPC installed in August 2016. Sam, the owner, analyzed their energy habits and sized the system to fit — since installation the panels have eliminated their electric bill and kept delivering consistently with no problems. Competitive pricing plus the tax rebate shrank their net payback to about five years. They also use the company’s phone app to track production, which became a favorite feature. Her husband especially appreciated that installers secured the panels by screwing through the roof joists, and they’ve never had a rain leak. Throughout the project Sam stayed professional and reachable, answering calls, resolving concerns and making them feel taken care of. The detail that stands out: careful, structural attachment of the array that prevented leaks, paired with a surprisingly quick, roughly five‑year ROI.

In 2017, Yelper decided to put solar on their home and gathered five bids to compare options. They preferred working directly with the named contractor and chose Green Energy EPC after meeting Sam, the co-owner, because dealing with the owner cut out layers of communication that can create delays and confusion. Sam recommended a 6.7 kW DC system sized to match the household’s prior 12‑month usage of 10,700 kWh: 21 LG Neon2 320 W panels, 21 optimizers, and an SE 7600 inverter. He explained how the system would work, projected annual production of 10,752 kWh, and the homeowner approved the contract. The installation, electrical hookup, and city inspection all went smoothly, and Sam stayed on site or was readily reachable to answer questions and handle small issues. When the system hit its first year in service on 10-15-18, the SolarEdge monitoring showed 11,680 kWh produced — about 8.5% more than the estimate. The homeowner watched the usual “high usage” comparison warnings from the utility stop (despite running a pool pump and air conditioning), and the rooftop generated more than $3,240 worth of electricity in that year. After applying the 30% federal tax credit, the economics,

One year after a residential solar installation, Ellen W. discovered she’d made a solid choice. She had left a deposit with another company but asked for it back after meeting Sam; the turning point came when the firm’s actual engineer — not a sales rep — walked her through how the system worked, keeping the conversation technical rather than salesy. The installation finished on schedule and at a price she found very reasonable. The crew arrived courteous, professional and tidy, and a team member stayed to show her how the monitoring software worked. When a power outage hit a week later, a frantic call was returned immediately; technicians checked and determined the outage wasn’t caused by her system. A year in, she received her SDG&E true-up: $14 for the entire year, partly because her system started mid-billing cycle. What stands out most for her is the engineer-led explanation combined with neat workmanship and a rapid response—plus that $14 true-up—so she urges anyone shopping for solar to call Green Energy for a quote.

James S. shopped about six solar quotes before choosing Green Energy EPC to outfit his home. Sam, the owner, came to the house, measured and photographed the roof, reviewed past SDG&E bills and usage, and designed an affordable system sized for current needs and planned EV charging. His crew installed the array quickly with Sam personally supervising, and the system has performed without issues. What set this apart was Sam’s handling of the electrical service upgrade: where other contractors planned to trench and run new wire at extra cost, Sam contacted SDG&E, arranged a survey, and discovered the existing service conductors were already rated for 200 amps — only a new interior panel was required. That discovery cut both cost and schedule dramatically. His electrician also fitted extra energy-monitoring devices so he can track and optimize usage. The detail that sticks: verifying the utility’s rating on the existing service avoided an expensive, time-consuming trenching job and changed the whole scope of the project.

In February 2022, Jong chose Sam to install solar on his San Diego home after getting multiple quotes, including from large Yelp-listed companies. He wound up with a mid-priced proposal that came with the strongest warranty, and discovered that Sam worked more like an engineer than a salesperson—carefully sizing the system and guiding the panel and inverter choices. Sam even assisted a neighbor who had used a different installer, and several of Jong’s coworkers had recommended him. After signing, the permit arrived in about a month and the crew installed the system two weeks later (mostly delayed by rain). City inspection and the SDG&E NEM application finished the following week, so a little more than two months after starting the process he was already back on the grid; by contrast, big companies had quoted two months just for a permit and another month for installation because of long queues. During the install Sam’s crews did an excellent job, and Sam stayed on site each day to manage the work and keep Jong informed. As a new system owner he had lots of questions about NEM, monitoring and billing, and Sam answered texts or calls within an hour instead of leaving him waiting days

Carl B. began the process seeking a residential solar installation and quickly connected with Sam and his crew. He found Sam thoroughly knowledgeable and liked that the price quote was easy to follow and felt reasonable; Sam’s matter-of-fact, no-pressure approach made questions simple to ask. Sam kept steady contact throughout, always available to respond, and the office support — especially Stacy — handled the paperwork smoothly. The installation team completed the physical work efficiently, and the system was installed and activated relatively quickly with no issues. After several weeks online, the panels are meeting or exceeding what he expected. What stuck with him most was the combination of clear communication from Sam, Stacy’s dependable admin support, and a trouble-free, timely activation.
