Sierra Solar Systems
Sierra Solar is here to provide solar and renewable energy to conscious consumers. We have been doing so for 40 years and we are still here to answer any questions you may have about solar power design or installation. We also provide a number of other renewable energy items such as, tankless H2O heaters, wind turbines, and hydro-electric turbines.

If you are interested in the conservation of our natural resources, or you would like to "Go Green" to save some green, feel free to call us with any questions you may have. Even a small stream can generate consistent, clean, dam free, renewable electricity at a price per Watt lower than solar or wind.

A single PowerSpout at a site good enough to generate 1kW can produce enough electricity for a typical house for a year (>8,000 kWh/yr). The small (18 inches wide), all-weatherPowerSpout PLT is one of the most reliable, cost-effective generators around because we have spent a decade making micro-hydro efficient and affordable.
Services
A Utility Connected or On Grid Solar PV System, produces power from an array of solar panels. The energy produced is used by you and your home, any excess energy is fed to the utility grid. In many cases, a "Grid Tied" Solar PV System generates credit or earns you money from your utility company. In most states, some form of rebate, tax credit or both is available either from your government or utility company directly.
Each day the sun provides enough hot water to comfortably meet the needs of any size household. Even on cloudy days, harvesting the heat of the sun is possible. Stored in a thermal mass, the sun's energy can radiate heat throughout the night, creating a solar heated space. Experience the comfort of solar living, with solar radiant heat.
If there are multiple strings, then often the wire size will increase in the combiner box to a #8 AWG or #6 AWG. Wire size from the charge controller to the batteries depends on the Amps (current) that will be flowing. It is also dangerous because excess heat can build up in your system causing a safety hazard and fire risk.
Don't hire someone to wash your dirty solar panels. That's the conclusion of a study recently conducted by a team of engineers at the University of California, San Diego. Researchers found panels that hadn't been cleaned, or rained on, for 145 days. FINANCE SOLAR IMPROVEMENTS FOR YOUR HOME AND REPAY IT ON YOUR PROPERTY TAX!

Do not do busses here. I tried to purchase a sun mar toilet from them in August. I spoke with Aaron who was nice enough and was able to get it ordered right away pulling over 1600 dollars from my account the day and stating I would receive confirmation of the order being completed and when the toilet would be ready for pick up. After almost 3 months of being strung along and trying to be understanding of the supply chain issues that everyone was working with I decided to cancel the order. Prior to canceling I had to reach out multiple times just for updates and information, the whole time there

My brother recommended Sierra Solar to me after he got his house done in Placer County 2 weeks ago. I am very Happy with the service and the price. I am very happy with the service and recommend anyone that wants to go green or solar to go with Sierra Solar.

Has gone down with the latest owners. Aaron is a nice guy, but the woman working at the front office today should learn some customer service techniques. Made me feel like I was really interrupting her when I came in to purchase something. She has been rude to me before. I've been shopping there since the 1980's, no more. I'm done and I will never recommend your company again.

Do not use this company! Their knowledge on installation is extremely unreliable. Aaron especially is extremely incompetent. All of his instructions have proved to be completely wrong. Finally we have the correct plan after consulting with an engineer, but we have days worth of work to fix what was originally told us by Aaron. Do yourself a favor and use a better company!!

Hi My Name is Aron Martin I got my off grid solar system from Sierra Solar 22 years ago and it is still works great. I now work here, so please come in and see the show room and stock warehouse ask as many questions as you want I love people and solar power. We are a small company that stocks solar panels, water pumps, batteries, controllers, and lots more we work hard to help all who comes in.
Power to the People,

Same experience as the other review. Came in and was asked if I had been helped. Replied no and was told someone would be right with me. After 10 minutes (no one ever came by again) I walked out. These people show they do not care.
