Our home electricity bill has gone down to almost zero despite the fact that air conditioning is on daily. On an annual basis even my electric car will be fully covered by my own solar-generated electricity. Alba has all of the best installers and electricians in the region. And with their background in commercial I knew that they were more strict with guidelines and code.

From our free cost-savings consultation to the day we switch on your system, our team makes going solar a breeze.
The energy created goes directly to the main electric panel to be distributed into the home for immediate use. All excess energy created is delivered to the utility grid. This allows your home to be powered at night after the sun goes down. On cloudy days, your solar panels will still produce energy.
Solar is a low, fixed monthly payment so you can finally say goodbye to your rising electric bill. While electricity costs keep climbing, solar protects your wallet by substantially reducing or completely eliminating your electric bill. Your solar payment will be one low stable monthly payment. And, once your system is paid off, you'll save even more.

It came down to be all false advertisement that misled me into the contract.
The company does not want to take any responsibility of it.
Ignoring my email and phone calls for weeks......
Company blames on their sales contractors but is that my fault?
Sales person explained that it will cover 100 % of my electricity bills but it only cover 30%.
Only solution will be adding more solar panel (even with that it will cover about 70~80%, I cannot trust if it is true) with extra cost.
Anyway even I agreed to do if they wiling to extend the loan terms but refused.
So the loan payment and electricity

Although the customer service is on point it has been 2 months and we still cant operate. Also, in the conversations and the documents sent to us the tax credit is 100% misleading. We were told verbally and in writing that in the event we had no liability on taxes we could apply the credit amount to our loan yet that is not the case. Even the repayment form sent to us for the loan stated a loan payment in the event we did or didnt apply the credit to the loan. If you have no tax liability you dont get the credit. Shame on us for not checking first but when you get a document in writing saying

I am really excited about my new solar energy system that Jenni Nguyen helped me purchase! I feel that the level of knowledge (pros and cons) I was able to gain about the system from Jenni was great and whatever she wasn’t sure about she always came back to me with a honest answer. The customer service was really outstanding! They worked around my schedule and always asked questions to make sure I understood what was happening throughout the process. I also want to mention Sheldon, who also was very knowledgeable about the product and process! Thanks Alba Energy team!

Alba Energy provided outstanding customer service and a quality product. We installed 22 panels in November and immediate saw a significant reduction in our energy bill even with the varied weather through out the winter. In addition to the panels, they provided enough LED bulbs for us to completely change out the old bulbs in our home, further reducing our power consumption. The financing options were better than expected. My kids love the Ecobee thermostats Alba provided since they connect to our Amazon Echo and play music. We would definitely recommend Alba to anyone considering solar panel

Our journey into solar started with a knock on the door. Brenda gave us a thorough and clear outline as to how solar energy might be right for us, and presented us with a well thought out and carefully balanced plan. In the long run, we save money and we add value to our home, all while reducing our carbon footprint.
As our interface with Alba Energy, this awesome door-knocker Brenda worked with us every step of the way, through determining if solar panels were right for us, working with our tight schedules during installation, through inspection, and finally (yay!) activation. Though the

Alba Energy were great to work with. They went out of their way to get us any information we wanted and did not try to sell us more than we needed. They took care of all the permits, were here when they said they would be, and were professional throughout the process. Carlos and Sara were both great and took great care of us and explained the process and kept us informed throughout. I highly recommend Alba to anyone interested in going solar.

Eric was very professional and answered our questions and concerns very promptly. He explained what to expect from the process and kept all promises he made. The installation went very smoothly. The installation crew came early and finished in good time. All permits and rebate applications were handled for us. Overall, they were clear and open about the cost and how everything worked. We are very happy with this experience and are impressed by Alba's culture and work ethics.

Alba was great!
I had been wanting to add solar panels to my home for a few years but never pulled the trigger. Alba answered all my questions, helped me obtain available rebates, took care of all the paperwork with the electric company and scheduling installations and inspections - it was great to be able to just sit back and not have to worry about any of that.
I can view my system's production on the web or via mobile app and I was ecstatic when my first electric bill showed up. A great experience!

After sitting on the fence about whether to get solar for about 2 years, we finally took the plunge this year after Austin Energy’s latest rate hike. We’d seen a few homes get solar in our neighborhood and spoke with our neighbors about their experience and for recommendations. We contacted 2 companies who had installed on our street, and googled a third to make sure we had a few quotes to compare.
We decided to go with Alba Energy after they came to our house and did a detailed site assessment and were clearly so much more knowledgeable about their work. One thing that we really liked was

Received quotes from 3 companies. Alba Energy was the most responsive and it felt like they genuinely cared about my request and wanted to make sure all of my questions and concerns were covered. Once I decided to work with Alba Energy the process was very seamless and minimal work on my part. There was only one snag with a product that was D.O.A., and they quickly got a replacement and finished the installation. Only a few days in, but so far I am very happy with the results. I will update my review after a few months to add anything additional.

Alba Energy did a wonderful job of putting a solar array on the roof of my home in Central Austin recently. The entire process was handled professionally, the permitting, the acquisition of rebates and loans, and the installation. I am very happy with the performance of the panels and the savings on electricity, especially now in the middle of the long, hot summer in Austin. I no longer wince every time I hear the air conditioner come on! I definitely recommend them if you are looking into having solar panels installed at your home or business.

We were looking to purchase solar panels for 2015. Our utility company was offering rebates that ended in 2015. We made a decision to go ahead and pursue getting solar panels and sent requests to several solar panel companies for quotes, etc. After much deliberation, we went with Alba...and must say we was very happy with our decision and the whole process. Alba did pretty much everything for us. We got a great project manager (Amanda Adair) who walked us through everything. Let the savings begin!
