Andy Cazzato is a certified solar contractor and Santa Cruz County resident since 1979. Andy has been designing, installing and repairing solar energy systems throughout Northern California for more than 38 years. Andy is the most experienced, longest established solar specialist in Santa Cruz County.
I wholeheartedly recommend Andy Cazzato's Santa Cruz Solar as the best solar systems company in Northern California! Each time Andy came out, I would talk at length about other solar systems and in particular photovoltaic (PV) systems. Andy's knowledge of the field is extensive & ever increasing. This "wisdom" is hard to come by and is probably the most important asset when it comes to the quality of work that Santa Cruz Solar performs.

I was very pleased with the entire solar installation process. I received exceptional professional service throughout the process which was on time and as expected with no delays or surprises. From my solar consultant, Matt Doe, to my project manager, Daryl Kimble to my project foreman, Angel Ramirez, to my project planner, Ron Launer, the whole team was coordinated, gave clear communication and project updates. I would definitely recommend this company which I feel is head and shoulders above the other solar options in the Bay Area.

Beware of empty promises like production guarantee
When Clean Solar sold me a solar System in 2016, they made various claims such as guaranteed production and bill saving. None of these happened and Clean Solar backed out of all of their sales promises. Despite several attempts.
Overall, Clean Solar pays less than half of the claims for production guarantees (data provided by their CEO through BBB). For the few who go through the painful claim process, Clean Solar responds with exceptions such as environmental changes and customers end up victims of their misleading sales tactics.

Clean Roofing completed a new GAF Landmark Pro roof . They were prompt in returning calls, their estimate was reasonably priced and they worked with me concerning the installation date. The removal of the old roof was clean and efficient. Two very hard working employees installed the new roof and as far as I could tell, did an excellent job. Clean solar then installed 16 Sunpower panels, plus a Solar Edge inverter. The installation went very smoothly and the system works very well, generating a greater amount of electricity daily then the original estimate. We had a two month delay because of COVAD19

Very professional company, totally satisfied customer. Their specialty seems to be catering to your unique situation. They have lots of options, and actively guide you through the process to find the right balance of cost, efficiency, flexibility, longevity, etc. Harder than just "yes, give me solar," but still pretty easy and it gives you confidence that what you get is what you really want. I consider that important in such a big purchase!

Excellent experience with Clean Solar. Everyone I dealt with was very professional and responsive. They're an honest company and don't try to oversell you on size of system or additional products/services (e.g., battery storage). Our system looks really nice aesthetically, which is a combination of SunPower panels (easily the best looking panels available) and an excellent job by the Clean Solar installers.

Phenomenal experience from beginning to end. Art provided a very clear presentation of the project and the communication from Michele along the way was excellent. The crew was in and out in less time than expected and you could not even tell they were there until you looked at the roof. Art then followed up with all the information we needed including PG&E billing details, warranties & registration, serial numbers and all the other important details that are often neglected as a project winds down. We highly recommend Clean Solar.

Clean Solar did a great job on our 18 panel home solar system. They were direct and honest with their proposal and there was no pressure or funny business. When I told them I needed a few months to make a decision, they were fine with it and Bryon, our account manager, checked in regularly and unobtrusively to ask if we had any questions. I did and he answered all of them throughly. I had contacted three other solar vendors, including the big and prominent one, and none was as willing to spend time and talk through my questions as Clean Solar. Clean Solar ended up putting together different five

I initially contacted Clean Solar about an installation on a home that turned out to be unsuitable for panels, but I was so impressed with their program and their staff that I ended up using them at another location. They were thoroughly professional, communicated well and followed up on every detail. There were a couple of small snags, but they dealt with them quickly and to my total satisfaction. Would give them my highest recommendation, and I'm generally pretty conservative about these things.

I am so proud to have my CleanSolar system installed. From the first day of contact to the last day of the final walk through, I was very happy with all interactions with everyone at CleanSolar.
I liked that they stand behind getting the most efficient panels and inverters from the beginning. I did my own research and gotten multiple quotes from other installers that quoted less efficient panels from the start. CleanSolar was the only company to quote SunPower from the beginning. Their quote was very competitive with others that were quoting less efficient panels and had a shorter warranty and

Our experience with Clean Solar has been absolutely fantastic. They are a very customer-focused company from end to end. The only company I talked to that thought about capacity planning. Excellent customer service throughout the entire process from initial contact through the sales process to the design and engineering to managing the project, installation, and to final signoff. Quality of experience and quality of service are absolutely first rate. They offer a variety of options as far as system function and quality and help you choose the best for your situation. I would not hesitate to recommend
