Sky Power Solar reviews

Roger C. installed a 33 kW solar system two years ago, with SolarEdge monitoring keeping an eye on performance. When an inverter on one panel failed, the monitoring alert kicked off a call from Sky Power Solar to let him know they’d seen the problem. They ordered the replacement part, scheduled the swap, and handled both parts and labor at no extra cost. He also discovered the system carries a 25-year warranty. The thing that stood out was the proactive monitoring and that the repair was completely covered under a long warranty — a simple, fully handled fix rather than a hassle.

Tony C. picked SkyPower to install a larger-than-recommended solar array for his home, insisting on the panel size he needed even though PG&E preferred a smaller setup. He paid, then disappeared for a while, and the sales rep still followed through—SkyPower mailed the warranty to his house without a chase. More than a year later an inverter developed a problem; the company flagged the issue, showed up quickly, and replaced the inverter on the spot. The lasting impression wasn’t just a smooth install but the follow-through: paperwork arrived despite his silence, and service returned promptly when the system needed it.

Anthony A. had Sky Power install a residential solar system just over a year ago and discovered the array has been performing reliably ever since. He shopped multiple quotes and chose Sky Power because they gave the best purchase price, and the system’s continued uptime proved that it met expectations. His main complaint involved scheduling: at a couple of stages crews showed up with only about an hour’s notice, which caught him off guard. Overall, he ended up with a solid, well-priced installation — a good fit for someone focused on value — but future customers should be prepared for occasional short-notice visits from the team.

Steve had a residential solar system installed on his home a year ago and, while he’s tech-savvy enough to write a Yelp review, he doesn’t habitually log into monitoring portals. At installation he was assured he could check output online if he wanted, but that Sky Power would actively track the system for him. Over the year the company reached out periodically, and just yesterday they sent a technician after noticing the system wasn’t performing as efficiently as expected. The crew relocated a panel and performed restringing, and he was informed those fixes could yield as much as a 25% improvement in storage efficiency. That proactive monitoring — the installer spotting an issue and fixing it before he had to do anything — delivered the biggest peace of mind. He praises Sky Power’s technical expertise and customer follow-up, and ended up giving them 10 stars out of 5. The takeaway that stuck with him: the company doesn’t just install panels and disappear — they keep watching the system and step in when performance drops.

R L bought a Sky Power system back in 2011 and remembers the whole process — design and modeling through installation and final hand-off — as smooth and well managed. When they recently shopped for a second solar installation, they called Sky Power alongside two larger firms, SunRun and SolarCity. All three gave decent initial consultations, but Sky Power stood out by digging into the specifics: matching cost, expected usage and aesthetic preferences, and then spending extra time measuring roof slope, angle and available space to squeeze the most production out of the array. That hands-on attention to roof details is what clinched the decision; pricing was also very competitive, especially if buying the system outright.

Arthur chose Gary Corda at Sky Power to install a solar pool heating system on his home after a competitive bidding process that weighed price, technology and overall build quality. Gary installed the system several years ago and has come back twice—typically at the start of the season—to address small issues; he scheduled visits promptly, fixed the problem on the first trip, and followed up to explain what he’d done. Because of that reliable seasonal responsiveness and clear communication, Arthur recommended Gary to a friend, who had a similarly positive outcome. The detail that stands out is not just the original install but Gary’s timely, hands-on follow-up each year.

Shawn put SunPower panels on his home about four years ago and ended up with roughly 30 panels, two inverters and an 8 kW system. He worked with Bob and his crew, who surveyed the roof, offered a few options, and installed the array along with a collar on the main breaker so he can see both production and household draw. During the install he asked if the conduit could be painted to blend with the house; the crew walked to the paint store, bought the color and painted it without hesitation — a small touch that stuck with him. Afterward an inverter began dropping offline at random; Bob’s team returned immediately two or three times, diagnosed a loose wire inside a rooftop box and fixed it so the system ran cleanly. The financial results have been dramatic: his annual electric bill fell from about $5,000 to roughly $1,000, and he expects to break even in about four to five years. He has already referred a neighbor who just completed an install — for him, the combination of visible workmanship (the painted conduit), the monitoring collar and the responsive post-install support defined the whole experience.

Shopper R. picked Sky Power Solar for a roof-mounted system in the Bay Area after learning the company has been local and active since 2001. They discovered the choice felt vetted— their roofer, after dealing with many poor contractors, insisted Sky Power was the only outfit worth the money. During the sales process a Sky Power representative patiently guided them through a long list of questions, explained manufacturer options, and highlighted that Sky Power serves as a preferred installer (which unlocked upgraded warranties). Faced with the SunPower vs. other-brand tradeoff, Shopper R. ran the numbers: SunPower would have been roughly 3% more efficient but over 5% more expensive and carried a shorter warranty, so they chose HEC panels paired with an Enphase monitoring system. Installation proved effortless: the crew scheduled easily, arrived on time, finished in the promised window, and walked through each step. A memorable moment came when the installers asked whether to run the conduit visibly on the roof or make extra penetrations to hide it—an attention to tradeoffs between appearance and roof work that the reviewer hadn’t seen with other companies. When the system flipped,

Ted A. leased a SunPower solar system for his Bay Area home in 2012, and SunPower hired Sky Power Solar to do the original install — which went smoothly. Last year he needed a new roof and the lease required Sky Power to remove and replace the panels. Sky Power charged $250 per panel for 20 panels — $5,000 — a price he found high for Bay Area work. During the reinstallation the technicians failed to properly reconnect one string of ten panels. He didn’t notice the production shortfall for many months, and the situation worsened when the inverter later failed. Instead of producing a surplus from April through October as he normally would, he ended up producing less and now estimates he’ll owe PG&E more than $550 at true-up this June because of the poor workmanship. He emailed Sky Power’s CEO, Bob Winn, requesting a refund and received no response. The detail that lingers: the lease forced him to use the same installer, he paid $5,000 to have panels removed and reinstalled, and then faced an estimated $550 extra utility bill with no resolution from company leadership.
