Ron Dorris Electric & Solar reviews

Chrissie D. has been a Suntegrity customer for many years and still relies on the solar system they installed on her home. She has watched the panels perform beautifully, needing nothing more than the occasional cleaning. When Suntegrity returned recently to consult about backup batteries, they laid out the pros and cons in plain language and did not try to push extra equipment. What stood out was that straightforward, no‑pressure approach; paired with long-term, low‑maintenance performance, it left her confident about sticking with them for future solar needs. She walked away from the meeting clear on the trade-offs and reassured that her system continues to run reliably.

Don L. had an 18-panel array with Enphase micro-inverters put on his ranch-style home about six years ago, and it ran problem-free until an electric car pushed his household use beyond what the roof produced. He asked Suntegrity for a quote to add 10 more panels. Suntegrity walked him through the options, offering two clear expansion plans, identified the ideal spot for the new panels, took care of the county permit, and kept to a very precise installation timeline. The crew installed high-quality components without drama, the grid connection cleared quickly, and the whole job felt timely and hassle-free. Customer service stayed attentive throughout, and he concluded that the “integrity” in the company’s name isn’t just marketing. What lingered with him was how completely Suntegrity managed the expansion—options, siting, permitting and a fast grid hookup—so his only job was deciding to move forward.

After shopping with seven or eight different solar consultants and coming away unconvinced, Cindi called Alan at Suntegrity and immediately felt "just right." She wanted a local company that would be around for the long haul and actually back its promises, so she moved forward with Suntegrity for a 14-panel system on her home. The install wrapped up in one day, the city completed the final inspection soon after, and she went live with PG&E a few days later. The crew handled the job in a professional, efficient and friendly way from start to finish. Two years on, the panels are still producing at peak performance. The detail that stood out most: a one-day installation and a very quick PG&E hookup that translated into reliable energy production over time.

Scott L. runs a residential architecture firm in the North Bay and, after working with Suntegrity Solar on several client projects, made them his firm's go-to solar recommendation. He then chose Suntegrity for his own house — the final subcontractor on a long remodel — and found them to be the strongest trade on the job. Keith led the initial conversations and provided the technical information, Jeremy kept scheduling tight, and Colby, Calvin and the install crew completed the roof work cleanly and efficiently. To a person, the team was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient, and their communication kept the project on track. What stuck with him most was how their clear, reliable communication and coordinated crew smoothed what could have been the most stressful part of a lengthy remodel.

Jason R. decided to go solar and ended up installing a 12-panel array on his roof. He first connected with Alan, who called back and immediately struck him as experienced — asking pointed questions that zeroed in on what his home actually needed. After Jason emailed his PG&E bills, Alan ran the numbers and returned a proposal that landed only a few hundred dollars off a highly rated competitor on Yelp; Jason appreciated that Alan sized the system to fit need rather than padding the sale. A different team member then visited to take precise measurements and lock the plan in. The project slid later than first scheduled because of COVID disruptions and the wildfires, but when the crew arrived they completed the roof install in a single day; the result looks tidy and professional — from the street you can really only see the panels. He’s been checking production online and finds it interesting, though with under two months of winter output he can’t yet judge cost savings. What sticks with him most is Alan’s consultative, needs-first approach and the clean, one-day installation paired with live production monitoring as the next thing to watch.

Barry L. shopped five solar companies before settling on Kreutzfeld Construction (Suntegrity) for a rooftop system, after finding most installers either underestimated his options or refused the job. He encountered teams who limited him to nine panels because his roof didn’t face perfectly south, and one who said they couldn’t install at all because the house “had no attic.” Suntegrity approached the job differently. Their technician arrived already armed with a satellite-derived roof layout and a checklist of likely shadow sources—chimney, vents, nearby trees—and then spent an hour on the roof with a tape measure. He produced a computer visualization showing the roof, sun positions and the shadow patterns across all 365 days of the year, which reframed what was possible. Faced with a largely north-facing roof and no attic, the tech proposed a reverse-tilt array, bolting racking directly to measured roof beams so the system could be expanded rather than curtailed. They handled permitting and financing too, coordinating with Sonoma County’s solar loan program, and tracked down American-made panels at the same price as foreign options. The installation crew arrived on time, worked:

After several bad experiences with local electricians, Jen C. turned to Ron Dorris Electric & Solar and found a team that felt different from the start — hardworking, deeply knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely kind. A few months ago she invested in an in-home Generac generator through them, and the company managed the whole project from quote to finish so she didn’t have to chase anyone or micromanage the process. The work came back high-quality, and the customer care felt authentic rather than checkbox politeness. She built a real rapport with office staff Michelle and Selena, who answer the phones and take the time to ask how she’s doing, and with Melissa, who ran the generator project end-to-end in an organized, attentive way. Philip handled city inspections and permits, showing up on time and staying responsive. Adrian, the lead electrician, proved especially reliable: when Jen lost power, he arrived within 15 minutes to complete the final install so she’d have power, walked her through every step, and later returned on his own time to make sure the generator shut off correctly. The rest of the installation crew were likewise professional and skilled. What sticks most is a

Amy H. had looked into solar years earlier but decided it didn’t make sense for their low energy use—until she leased an electric car in March and suddenly saw her electricity jump. She watched a PGE bill move from about $220 to roughly $500 the month she started charging the car, and that tipping point pushed her back into shopping for solar. She connected with several companies but found Russel from ReSolar stood out for his deep knowledge and patience; he answered a long list of questions and helped them pick panels that looked less obtrusive on the roof—an option other companies hadn’t offered. RePower by Solar Universe then stepped in on the installation side, accommodating the exact dates the family needed and showing up when they said they would. The installers not only worked cleanly and efficiently but also helped with a few small roof tasks along the way. The numbers changed quickly: after the system went live, their next bill dropped to about $20 (that even includes gas). They expect a strong outcome at TrueUp. Russel has kept up timely, professional follow-up on remaining questions, which has made the whole process feel well supported. What sticks most is the leap

Alan F. hired Ron Dorris Electric and Solar in 2010 to mount a rooftop solar electric array and replace an antiquated main breaker panel on his home. He watched the crew show up on time, work cleanly, and leave the site tidy, and the installation itself finished to a high standard. Pricing landed on the competitive side, and three years later the system continued to run flawlessly. The solar output even pushed his PG&E account into credit for about half the year, a payoff that made the decision feel clearly worthwhile. For him, the combination of reliable workmanship, fair price, and sustained performance is what singled out the contractor.
