Services
OSullivan Green Solar is a professional solar panel installation and financing company serving clients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We pride ourselves on honesty and integrity, and prove it through a transparent sales and education process about the benefits of going solar. We strive to give back to our community through employment, solar power education, and local community involvement in the South Bay area.
From initial consulting to monitoring the completed solar power system, we offer a start-to-finish solar energy solution. We will work to ensure you receive the best possible return on your solar energy investment. We start the process with an in-person site survey and an initial proposal outlining the details of the project.
This is a follow up service after you have signed our initial contract. The goal of the site survey is to physically check the site for actual roof measurements, verify roof pitch and roof asmiuth, check your electrical panel and complete a shading analysis for the area designed for your solar system.
Based on the sales process and site survey analysis you will decide on a solar power system size for your home. Our experienced engineering team will go to work designing the solar panel layout for your location. Whether it's a roof mount, pole mount or a ground mounted solar array, our engineers will design the solar energy system that is the most economical and efficient for you.
OSullivan Green Solar installation teams have spent hundreds of hours on training and research to assure the highest quality solar panel products, and our installation team is NAPCEP qualified. We are experienced working on your roof and electrical systems. When on a job site, the OSullivan Green Solar team usually consists of 2 to 4 solar panel installers.

I hardly write reviews but Tim and his team really deserve the 5 stars. As a relatively new homeowner, I have had my share of dealing with greedy and unethical contractors. I had collected quotes from 4 solar installers and Tim gave me the best price for LG425QAK panel + Enphase inverters.
Of them, Tim was the only person to come to my home and discuss the proposal and look at the electrical setup.
Whole process was quick and on schedule. I didn't have to nag or follow up. Tim stuck to his commitments and whole solar installation was finished in under 30 days. His crew was super professional

Recently we had solar installed by OSullivan Green Solar of Campbell. Â We've looked at solar for many years but never pushed the start button until now; the panels are much more sun-efficient and cost-effective than ever before. Â Even for our (relatively low) PG&E bill the payback was only five years. Â Especially today, it's hard to find an investment with that kind of return.
The install process was painless. Â The company's electrical subcontractor, JD Energy Solutions, was top-notch in every way. Â Knew the system inside out. Â Our system was installed in two days, came

Tim and his team have been extremely professional and helpful during the entire process starting with giving a competitive quote to making sure everything is installed and working as expected. Tim answered every question we had and gave us very honest feedback on each and every concern that we had. Each and every person in his crew is knowledgeable and professional. In spite of personal unavoidable issues, Tim still managed to complete our installation as promised. We have already been recommending him to all our friends and will continue to do so.

Tim and his team are so awesome. They made the process smooth and easy. Solar was done and installed within 3 days of starting the work. I didn't catch the crews name who actually installed, but they were great. We went and got 3 bids and did a bunch of research before making our solar purchase. Tim seemed the most honest, I liked dealing with the owner of the company and not a representative, and he had competitive prices. We are recommending him to all our family and friends looking to get solar!

Tim and his crew were great, all the way from the initial consultation, through the installation, the city inspection to the final connection with PG&E. Tim answered all our questions and informed us what to expect including things like conduit placement. The crew was great and the installation perfect. I highly recommend O'Sullivan Green Solar.

Tim and his team (Erik and Jesus) did an excellent job throughout the entire process of installing an 8.1kW solar panel system for my home (from sales, installation, and inspection).
1. Despite their booked calendar, they were still able to accommodate to my schedule and they finished the whole installation job in the exact timeline from our discussions.
2. Tim quoted me the best price (total price in $/Watt for the whole installation parts and labor) and using the best parts (LG R Prime 355 watt panels and Enphase IQ-7+ microinverters) compared to their competitors (most quotes I received using

We finally bit the bullet and installed solar panels at our home in San Jose. After gathering and preparing quotes from four different vendors, we decided to go with O'Sullivan (referred to us by a friend who had used them recently). Though they were not the cheapest option, Tim took the time to meet with us and thoroughly answer all of our questions and really make us feel comfortable with the process. I've learned over the years that a contractor you have confidence in and who communicates well with you is worth paying for. A note when comparing quotes on purchasing solar panels though

The first reason I needed to get solar was because my monthly electric bill was getting out of control. The second reason was the intentional power outages that PG&E was doing to prevent wildfires. My coworker just got solar and he was happy with his system so he recommended OSullivan Green Solar. Tim and his team were a pleasure to work with. They did a fine job installing the solar panels on my spanish tile roof. I was very happy with the installation of the solar inverter and solar battery in the garage. They did such a neat job and the placement of the equipment was such that I did

Finding a solar contractor has been such a headache. I was pretty much set to go with a competing company that sells through Costco, when I realized their markup was astronomical. Besides, they would not install on the metal tile roof I wanted to install (they only support composite) and had massive layoffs during COVID so I was being passed around from rep to rep.
Then I got a quote from Tim at OSullivan Green Solar and talked to the guy. What a difference... A salesman who is not trying to upsell you on everything. His entire system design is based not on the sexiest and newest technology and

It is a challenge to navigate the crowded solar provider/installer market.
We had already talked to one company, but it became clear that we would move forward with OSullivan Solar after sitting down with Tim. He makes the process very transparent and manages all of the interaction with the city as well as the power provider.
I can't imagine having a better experience than I have with this installation.
Thanks Tim!

Tim's team just wrapped up their work this week on the solar install -- I'm completely impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness and care throughout the entire process and fully recommend them to anyone looking to get solar installed prior to the decrease in federal tax benefit next year.
When I contacted Tim, it was through a roofer's referral. I had already installed solar with a different company at a previous residence -- and they had done a good job so I thought it would be tough to beat the bid I had with them. Tim came out on 5/9, and provided me with a proposal

We had such a great experience working with Tim last year! We met with several different solar companies and felt the most comfortable with Tim. He was very patient about explaining all details and answered my husbands many technical questions. The company worked closely with our roofers (we replaced our roof at the same time) to coordinate everything seamlessly, took care of all the permits and worked with PGE to get everything connected and set up. We are now reaping the benefits of solar... AC has been running non stop and our electricity bill is only $10 for the standard PGE fee!

We just had a great experience with OSullivan Green Solar, now our solar panels are up running, and start saving $$ on our electricity bill this summer! Tim is very patient and knowledgeable, and he took time answer all my questions and very responsive with following up by phone, email or texts. On the other hand, he works very efficiently, it took his crew only two days to install the panels, and he took care of all the permit application, city inspection, I am very happy about the final result and the smooth process. If you ever think about give solar a try, make sure check out OSullivan Green

O'Sullivan solar is nothing short of AMAZING!!! We had solar installed and what would take most companies 3-5 days to complete it took them 1 day!!! They were clean professional courteous polite and extremely personable!!!! From the electrician to installers to the owner himself each one showed care for my property as if it was their own! I had an issue with the app after the installation and the owner Tim contacted me, found out what time I was available, and made sure to show up when I was. He came and spent an hour on the phone with Enlighten to fix my issue when really I was responsible

We have wanted to go solar since moving into our new home, but never pulled the trigger due to cost and perceived complexity. Tim was incredibly transparent, open and honest during the entire process. He took time to meet at our home, answer our questions, and go through the pros and cons of each decision we needed to make. Installation was quick and his crew was incredibly great to work with. They also handled all the permits and coordination with PGE. Highly recommend O'Sullivan to anybody considering solar.

Just finished having solar installed by Tim and his crew. It was a great experience. The installation was amazingly quick. It only took them 2 days to install the entire setup, 19 panel, 6.37KwH system. It was impressive. The team was not only fast but extremely professional. When the crew arrived the lead installer spent the time to go over everything they would be doing. He double checked with me the layout of the panels to make sure he knew how they would be placed on my roof. He went over how and where the conduit runs would be.
Now not everything went perfectly smoothly. The conduit was

Saying O'Sullivan Green Solar did a great job is an understatement. They went far beyond our expectations. They are professionals through and through. They answered our questions before, during and after our project. The crew members were neat, efficient and FAST! We had our entire project completed in one day! . Tim, the owner, was terrific! This company gives you all the information you need so you can make an informed decision before your purchase. They also follow up with you after the installation to be sure you are happy.

O'Sullivan Green Solar was great from start to finish. Once we made the decision to proceed, they took care of everything, including City permitting and scheduling the inspection. They took care of the rebate paperwork too. The work was done well and quickly. They also monitored the system following start-up to make sure it was functioning properly. It's great to support a local business, especially when they do a great job.

We have been looking for the right deal and equipment that met all our requirements. We wanted quality with a cost that was under our current average electric bill. We want to own it and pay it off in 10 years or less. Tim was about the 8th company we spoke to. The cost was less, it was simple. No additional maintenance contracts or extra equipment we didn't need. He knew the competition and could explain the differences. We finally moved forward.
The install was a week ahead of schedule and handled without us being there. Very pleased with the low pressure sales and seamless install
