GALE SALUS West Hills, CA

Since Solar Optimum installed our panels over 2 years ago, our electric bill has been $2.20 a month (the cost of hooking us up to the LADWP grid). In addition, the panels have been so efficient, that I received a few hundred dollars in credits for over producing electricity last year. I run my air-conditioner for at least 6 months of the year. I am very happy with their service, with their follow-up to questions I have, and with the stability of the company. Once the installation was completed (which always takes longer than they say, with any solar company because of the number of permits and LADWPs lag time in reviewing permissions), and the monitoring system was installed, and we were hooked up into the grid, you can forget about it. All we have to do is rinse the panels off with a hose about every 3 to 6 months, depending on whether there is any rain. I highly recommend this company.

I knew I wanted solar panels on my home so I found Solar Optimum. I was very pleased with Solar Optimum. Their team of sales experts walked me through all the different financing and purchasing options of solar panels along with the different brands of panels. They laid it out clearly and gave me a break down of the project. The installation team arrived on time and finished within a day. I just had to wait for the DWP to come and inspect the work which too a bit of time. I am now glad I have solar panels that are warrantied for the next 25 years. Looking forward to being green. If you are looking into solar, Solar Optimum will be a good way to go.

As I was searching for a top solar company in SoCal, I came across Solar Optimum on the Energy Sage website. I received quote from 5 different installers and the range of products and pricing was a bit overwhelming. Solar Optimum seemed to have the best offering and so I met their sales consultant to discuss my energy goals especially because I have a pool and an electric vehicle that consume a lot of energy. From start to finish, I was impressed with the simplicity of the solar process. They made things easy to understand and manageable. I never felt rushed with them and the staff was always attentive. Now that the system is turned on, we've saved thousand of dollars this year in electricity. All thanks to the Optimum crew.

Converting to Solar can be a very daunting task. Let me help you take the guesswork out of the process. Call Solar Optimum and let them handle everything. I interviewed five different companies and Solar Optimum blew away the competition. Guaranteed product performance was the factor that really resonated with me. Loving my new solar and watching my electrical meter spin backward.

The staff I worked with were knowledgeable and responsive. Ivan, the consultant who worked with me through the initial process, gave a lot of good recommendations and and were accomodating to my requests. The installation process also went smoothly with Solar Optimum taking care of the paperworks and scheduling. Overall, I would recommend this company to anyone looking to go solar.

It took me 3 months to research and evaluate Solar Companies before I came across Solar Optimum. It was not so much about lowest price wins the deal but actually the technology behind it. So I probably had 3 to 5 estimates with the top installers in my local area of Long Beach and 2 from Los Angeles area. So I met with Eric from Solar Optimum and what really blew me away was that he offered a product that just came out that month I had my Solar installed, other competition still were processing it and were not available. Lastly another thing that stand out was that their warranty was pretty intensive up to 25 years while the competition only wants to do it for 10 years. Installation had no hiccups. Another key factor in any installation is communication. Updating or telling the installer your concerns in advance helps the process. Eric guided me with the process clearly. The city inspection was smooth and no issues. I had an upgraded 200 amp panel too in the process since my panel was 100 amp. The installation was very clean not only in the roof but my main panel area. I also had stucco work done because of my newer panel, but they also have a masonry specialist to clean up any work after. He even match my wall paint after the stucco repair. I highly recommend this company. Bernel N from Long Beach California

Solar Optimum crew was super efficient. I liked the way they got my project done in a short amount of time and with no errors. The team always left messages and emails keeping me in the loop throughout the install. They were very clean and I was very happy with the end result. If you are looking for a professional team through and through I would call them.

For the longest time now I have heard a lot of buzz about solar. I kept noticing panels on people homes but never researched enough to find out. When my friend installed his I decided to ask him about it. He had so many good things to say that I decided to try out the same people. I called Solar Optimum and they quickly setup one of their guys to come over and show me how they could help. I knew my friend wouldn't have gone with this if it wasn't worth it so I decided to make the change. They installed my system in fairly short time. Soon as it was on I noticed the change it brought to my pocket book. On top of the great work they offered my friend a handsome referral fee for mention them to me. What an amazing company.

It is obvious that Solar Optimum has been around for a while, because they know everything you need to know about the benefits of solar - and then some. When I decided to get solar for my house, they were there to help and guide me from day one, on the phone, over email and even in person when we met face-to-face. Their customer service is exceptional, and I so happy that I made the right choice by purchasing my solar system from them. This 6kW system ( Panasonic panel ) with the Inphase Inverter was a great recommendation and the performance is beyond my expectations.

The installation of our system was great. The crew came over and was in and out within the day. They had everything set up and as soon as we got the approval from the utility we were ready to be saved from our high peak bills during the summer. Our consultant was a pleasure to deal with and was reachable when we had questions. I wouldn't think twice to refer them to friends of mine.

Very pleased with our new solar system. The panels actually look great on the roof and this summer, I calculated that I saved close to $1100 in 3 months on utility savings. Sean was our solar rep and he explained everything all the way through installation and turning on the system. Had a minor delay with switching it on but overall, it turned out to be a great decision. Solar Optimum is professional and I have already referred my neighbors to them.

I was looking for an experienced solar installer and consultant to walk me through the energy process. I came across the team at Solar Optimum from my cousin across town who had a system installed a little over a year ago. Probably like most, I'm all for saving money on utility bills but was concerned about the look and aesthetics of panels on my roof. Didn't want it to show from the front facing part of my house. I'm glad I called Solar Optimum because they took care of my concerns and were particularly detailed from the design to installation and now with the performance. If you have any reservations about going solar at your house, put them to rest and call these guys at Optimum.

Excellent customer service! They made everything clear for us from the beginning and kept their promises. No surprises during the process, and the installation crew worked fast and cleaned up nicely after they were done. we are very very happy with them!

When we bought our house we decided to get solar panels and we actually called a few different solar companies before meeting with Solar Optimum. We chose them because they answered all our questions and we felt very comfortable with them. They walked us trough the entire process and we ended up with a 5KW solar system for our house. We already love our system and we've saved a good amount of money already because of this very hot summer. Our monthly bills went from $250-plus a month to only $10 to $12.

I began to look online when I finally decided my home needed a solar system. I looked through a lot of websites but couldn't understand much. I looked at reviews on Yelp and found a few companies. I met with a handful of companies who all had similar products. When I met Ivan at Solar Optimum it was very refreshing the amount of detail he went into while explaining the process. Having felt so helpless faced with websites he filled in all the holes and I understood why this was such an amazing addition. I signed right away and it has proven to be a great investment.
