We got PAV Solar for our home about 4 years ago. Still paying about $1200 in true up bill annually despite installing a much more energy efficient pool pump since the install. I recently tried to contact them about adding few more panels. Left a message w/ a Carla few months ago but no response. Contacted Don Godley, the salesman. He offered to email me a quote and but I still haven't received it after several weeks. I texted him many times but all he does is promises to send it to me the next day.
Pav Solar will quote you a cheaper price compared to the competition but their service afterwards

Take note that everyone who has reviewed this company has given them 5 stars. This is not a trick- Don, Julio and all the crew at Pav are 5 star people who give a 5 star experience from sales pitch to system monitoring and maintenance tutorial. I am nothing but impressed and joyous with the entire process and I am a picky, IT geek who asks way too many questions.
It took me a long time to make up my mind about what panels I wanted and, after deciding, it took a miracle from Pav Solar to get them due to financing. At first I wanted LG or Q-Cell panels and asked Don for a quote with those. After

$0.29!!!!!!! That is my true up bill this year!! Yes, twenty nine cents!!! From summer bills over $1400 I will gladly take a $.29 ANNUAL bill. I just wish I could pay PG&E in person with pennies. There are a lot of solar companies placing solar now, I chose Pav Solar as I want a LICENSED electrician wiring my house, and I wanted the best panels available at the time. The install was extremely clean and tidy. It even got complements from the Direct TV / Vivint tech servicing my dish. The black panels and racking make for a very neat appearance, especially since I don't have conduits running

I bought a house that had solar installed by previous owner and pav solar. I got a small rain leak where solar was installed, came out next morning on time. Julio came in ready snd wearing shoe covers to keep house clean. He was quick and fixed the leak for good. No trouble at all and their warranty is worth something because they were prompt even with corona and everything going on including rain pouring in while he was working. I can't thank them enough for being professional, on time and efficient. My roof is not dry!

Not sure who Shawna P./S. is but, based on her Yelp history, she has a lot of bad experiences with electrical people, leading me to believe she isn't really knowledgeable about such systems and likely has an older one in her house (since her wires melted and since the AC guy she used awhile ago said she needed upgrades). Also, 68 panels at 65 grand is astoundingly cheap. Anyway...

Cant say enough good things about this company. Locally owned and take real pride in the work they do.
Pav solar installed our solar system in January of 2016 and the whole process was really painless. The sales staff were very informative and not pushy. The installers were professionals and did top notch work. We really love how they took the time to hide the wires in the attic for a very visually pleasing installation. They even re stuccoed our house after upgrading our panel. And matched the paint as well.
There is really nothing bad I can say about our experience. The system works great and

I couldn't be more disappointed today than ever about my purchase from Pav Solar. I purchased over 68 panels at over $65,000. I was promised that I was purchasing 30% more power than in previous years because we had installed a pool and a game room. We went over this with Don Godley many times. During the process we were told that the new bridge no panels that was bid had been discontinued But the new Canadian panels would actually produce just as much even though each panel had less wattage. We are now at one year with a almost $3000 true up bill. Over the past year we have called many times

Being a person who is very methodical in decision making and then once the decision is made, very impatient for results/progress, I was very happy to work with Pav Solar. I spoke to another local company who needed 2 months lead time from contract signing to installation and failed to that even after installation there can be as much as a month delay for PG&E to grant PTO (permission to operate). I worked with Don Godley as my sales rep and I appreciated his straightforward upfront information and my numerous questions. They had similar financing options as the other company however the associated

We highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Pav Solar. This has been the BEST large purchase experience that we have ever had, from service to price and everything in between.
Don Godley is fantastic; professional, honest, responsive and a pleasure to work with (hint: he deserves a raise or bonus!) We contacted him at 4PM on a Friday and he arrived at 9AM on Saturday with 3 detailed written proposals with different price ranges for us to decide. He's amazing and made the experience seamless. It has been wonderful to work with Pav Solar.
Additionally, we are very glad to be supporting a local

After receiving bids from four different solar contractors I decided to go with Pav Solar and have not regretted it.
I have a 12.8kw roof mounted system with Sunpower panels on my house and they took care of everything from permitting to P.G.&E.
Their personal were clean, polite and safe.
With Pav Solar I got the best bang for my buck and am very happy with everything.

I saw a commercial for pav- solar and dexised to contact them. My husband and I met with Saul. I had a bad experience before with the solar city Rep and was dreading this apt.
It's like night and day. Was very impressed by his professionalism, detail in explaining the process and how the solar panels worked and how they would best fit and how we would benefit from them.
Amazing!

Pav Solar installed a new 120Kw roof mount solar system on our facility at Kern Steel Fabrication. They handled all the permitting issues including structural calculations required to support the new solar panels on an old metal roof structure. I would recommend them to other business who want to use solar power to help mitigate California's crazy electric costs.
