The things we do in life matter; our decisions affect the world, one way or another. With solar energy, you have a chance to make a difference - and we think that's pretty great. Powered by the Sun. Driven by community. Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on earth and it's never been more accessible than now.
After the first silicon solar cell was built in 1954, The New York Times proclaimed the milestone, "the beginning of a new era, leading eventually to the realization of one of mankind's most cherished dreams - the harnessing of the almost limitless energy of the sun for the uses of civilization." See? Dreams really do come true!
Rooftop installed a big ground mount solar unit for us. They used their magic box to determine ideal angles and location. Installation was completed last year and I haven't had any issues with it, but have been saving a bundle of $$ by replacing propane and gas (car) by switching cars and appliances to electric.

From the start Michelle asked the right questions and from those questions came up with an estimate to not only meet our needs but made suggestions to improve our systems. No high pressuring, no badgering and only honest quotes with no hidden costs. The project manager Dannielle was on top of the project from day 1 and if needed was quickly on the phone with me if something was not going as schedule. She coordinated with all of the contractors and keep me in the loop as the solar system was being installed. I would highly recommend Rooftop Solar to anyone and have recommended them to all of my

From the beginning to the end of our quest for cleaner energy this company has been communicative, thorough and most of all did all they said they would. I would recommend solar from this company to any of my friends or anyone asking about solar companies. As we learned the hard way NOT all solar companies are alike.

Rooftop Solar was awesome to work with and really professional! They had great communication and the entire process was seamless. Michelle as well as the entire office staff were great with coordination and keeping me updated on the entire process. Also the price was unmatched by any of the other solar companies that came and gave us quotes! One of the other companies actually straight told me he couldn't even compete with that price, shook my hand, and left! Made me feel even more comfortable! Overall great experience.

Rooftop Solar is a great company. They are upfront and honest. They educate, not sell so you can decide whats best for you (not pushy). They give you choices of products and even have a 30 year warranty that covers you if the solar manufacturer goes out of business. They have a special loan that doesn't add on dealer fees. You get, 1 project Manager to help you through the entire process. The entire staff is super nice and professional. They also don't work with annoying marketing sales. I would recommend them to anyone.

Out of the 5 companies we met with, Rooftop Solar-specifically Michelle Davis and Vanessa Nefflen- were exceptional. Vanessa never tried to pressure me, never talked Ill of other companies, she was extremely knowledgeable of all the components and were able to confidently answer every single question I had. Small business that goes above and beyond to provide quality and fair solar systems. I would and have recommended them to friends and family. The process took about 4 months due to permits but Vanessa kept me in the loop as much as possible. I love our solar system and would absolutely use them

Our 11 solar panels were installed thru Rooftop Solar just a week ago, and we were connected and fully operational with SDG&E four days later! We obviously can't attest yet to durability of the equipment or longevity of the system, but the hardest part for us was just working through all of the quotes, determining what would meet our needs and budget, and being sure we were making the right decision for this investment. Fortunately, we chose Rooftop Solar and worked with Julian and Kevin. They are extremely knowledgable and very responsive to every question and concern. The installation

Wow Roof Top Solar was the best! I've used them several times now. Because they were very clear on the presentation, no pressure at all, showed up on time, cleaned up all the work, was really fast, reasonable pricing. And the best part was after they were done and I paid for everything they followed up checking in On me periodically. And if I ever have any questions always got a human right away everything got settled quickly. That's why I've used him again and again.
I highly recommend them,

We installed a solar system a couple years ago and it's working great.
We love supporting local company, saving money on ever increasing utility costs and using clean, renuable energy at the same time.
You walked us through the process, helped us pick a great system to fit our needs, and we are happy we chose you.
Thanks Rooftop solar.

Rooftop Solar was amazing and I'm so happy I went with them. I met with a couple other solar companies and got quotes, but they seemed pushy. That was not the case with Julian from Rooftop Solar. He really had my best interest at heart and spent time showing me the different options and costs associated with them. He was very upfront, answered all my questions, and there were no hidden surprises.
Once I decided Rooftop Solar was the best company for me, I worked with Kevin as the project manager and he was great. He kept me informed on everything that was happening and was always quick

Thank you again Roof Top Solar for installing the most amount of solar panels my office roof could receive. Not only was the install perfect, the extra solar has been taken advantage off with our ever expanding electrical office needs! We will be using you again and referring you to our friends and clients!

PHENOMENAL SERVICE.
I would not only HIGHLY recommend, but if needed, I would call upon Jason again to install solar at my home. To me not only is customer service an essential, but the level of that service. Jason, and his crew are extremely astute, professional, and knowledgeable in their craft. I had a panel go out, beyond the warranty period, and Jason not only sought to replace, but to upgrade with the most current industry standards; he wasn't obligated, but he did. Since my installation, I have had him as a contact in my phone, and quite honestly, I haven't needed to use it

What can I say about Rooftop Solar??
As someone that has been in the service and sales industry my entire career this is my take on these folks.
1. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. Right in the middle. You dont want cheap and unless money is no object the most expensive doesnt always get the ROI. Julian asked what my goals were and he quoted what I wanted. The others did not.
2. Julian was my sales guy, he was the most straight forward honest of the 6 sales folks I interviewed. If he didnt know the answer he did not try to fake it, but he followed up timely with the answers.. But, he

Julian and Kevin have been very helpful throughout the process. I was happy to see a local Buisness that did not try to up-sale me like some of the other solar providers have tried to do.
Installation was a breeze and very speedy. I really enjoyed the fluidity of design, despite the lengthy hold of the city permitting we were able to see some significant savings once the system was online.
I really enjoyed the application to view performance from my phone and getting reports.

I had a great experience working with Rooftop Solar. They exceeded my expectations and made me feel comfortable throughout the process of going solar. Everyone I interacted with came across as very friendly and honest and that's what made me want to go with them over other companies. I would definitely recommend this company to others looking to add solar to their homes.

I would recommend this company far and wide. They are knowledgeable, helpful, professional and really care about their customers. There are so many solar companies out there and it's nice to work with a company that goes the extra mile. These are the kind of people you would want to invite over to your weekend BBQ. They also have many great referrals and project examples to check out in the area. I am giving Rooftop Solar a 5 star review.

Highly recommended! Jason (owner) was a extremely professional and pleasant. Answered all my questions and did a thorough job of explaining the entire process. He was on-time, prompt and professional as well. His quote was competitive and one of the better ones I received. From all my experience with construction, I can tell you they did an outstanding job!
