The Verdict

We recommend Wired Into The Future without reservation. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero criticism of their workmanship, a pattern that held across solar installs, inverter repairs, generator fixes, and EV charger setups. One customer inherited a broken solar system from a defunct contractor and called nine companies; eight refused to service equipment they hadn't installed, but Dean (the owner) showed up within 15 minutes, fixed it on the spot, then emailed step-by-step instructions so the homeowner could handle it next time. Another reviewer's panels have produced 75% of their electricity for over a year despite a quote estimating only 68%, and a third saw their first annual utility bill come in "much less than expected" after friends warned them about cheap systems that underperform. The company handles all permitting and PG&E coordination, shows up exactly when promised, and charges what they quote. (One reviewer noted Dean actually climbed on the roof with a safety harness during the site visit, which apparently impressed them enough to mention it years later.) If you want an installer who'll inherit someone else's mess and fix it anyway, this is the rare company that will.

If you're shopping purely on the lowest bid, you'll likely find cheaper quotes elsewhere. But if you want a contractor who'll service your system five years from now even if another company installed it, or who'll email you troubleshooting steps after a repair instead of booking a return visit, the premium is negligible.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Renata K.
YelpJun 11, 2022

Renata K. had a solar system with an LG Chem backup battery installed in 2019, and when the original installer went out of business she found herself stuck with no one willing to service the setup. When a problem popped up last week, she tracked Wired into the Future through the LG Chem website; owner Dean called her back the same day, came out to the house, and diagnosed and fixed the issues on the spot. She walked away impressed by how knowledgeable and personable Dean was, and relieved to have a reliable local company to call for future battery and solar service. What stood out was the quick, on-site response — Dean’s same-day visit and immediate repair changed what had been a frustrating situation into a solved one.

John Z.
YelpFeb 11, 2023

John Z. discovered his Sol-Ark 8k hybrid inverter wouldn't switch to the backup battery when he flipped off the utility breaker. He called every Sol-Ark contractor in the area and found that none wanted to touch a system they hadn't installed, leaving him stuck—until he reached out to Dean at Wired Into The Future. Dean showed up when he said he would, quickly diagnosed the incorrect installation that prevented the transfer to backup, and had the problem resolved two days later. He handled the job professionally and courteously and stuck to the original estimate. The detail that lingered with John was the contrast: where other contractors refused to help, Dean identified the fault immediately and fixed it promptly without any surprise charges.

W H compared several proposals and ultimately chose Wired into the Future because Azim stayed personally involved at every stage—even climbing onto the roof in a safety harness to oversee the install. They appreciated that Azim patiently and promptly answered a flood of questions, walked them through the choices of panels and inverters, and handled permits and all communication with PG&E. When they changed their mind about how many panels they wanted, Wired redesigned the system, upgraded the electrical panel, and consistently showed up when promised. After more than two years the rooftop array produces more electricity than the household uses; net metering has left them with a $127 credit from PG&E that should grow with sunny weather. They enjoy being both a consumer and producer of renewable energy and remain grateful for a reliable, hands-on installation—what really stood out was Azim’s personal involvement from quoting through roof work.

FrannyA
SolarReviewsMar 6, 2015

About a year ago Fran had a rooftop solar system installed by Wired Into the Future. From the start, the most memorable thing was that Dean, the owner, stayed through the entire installation—answering the many questions she brought up and walking her and her husband through the process. That close, hands-on approach mattered because her husband came into the project nervously: friends had recounted horror stories about another company that offered low prices, then delivered poor support and blamed weather or dirty panels when output fell short. To avoid that, they picked SolarWorld modules because they are made in the U.S., and the bid matched competitors’ prices for imported panels; they deliberately avoided the cheapest option. Her husband likes to monitor production, so he checks the system online regularly, and after a year they received their first annual bill—which turned out to be much lower than they expected. The array looks neat on the roof, Dean remained available through the install, and that combination of US-made panels plus hands-on ownership left them feeling confident in Wired Into the Future Solar. The detail that stuck with them most: the owner’s constant on-site
