Services
Good Energy Solar was founded in Santa Barbara in 2013, serving residential, commercial, and agricultural clients throughout the Central Coast. We provide turn-key solar solutions, from engineering through procurement to construction. With over a decade of experience in solar and 30+ years in electrical, our team delivers each solar investment with honesty, integrity and Good Energy.
Installing a solar solution is not a one-size-fits-all investment. Good Energy prominently focuses each customer's individual needs and we customize every system for our customers' homes, lifestyles, and savings goals. We evaluate energy usage, customer's goals, and the installation site and design a proposal based on individual customer needs.
Good Energy Solar is an authorized SunPower Commercial Dealer, proudly offering the most powerful and efficient solar products with the industry's best warranty. Our outstanding combination of experience, support, sustainability, and design offers greater value from the moment your system is activated, and makes our solutions a more sound investment for their lifetime.
You own your solar system and over the term of your loan, you repay the loan on a monthly basis. Loan terms are currently offered for 10, 15, or 20 years. You keep the solar tax credit for which the energy system is eligible. You can pay off your loan any time without penalty. For many customers, the combination of the loan payment and the remaining utility bill is less than their previous electric bill.
The homeowner is a respected California contemporary architect who was looking to integrate an aesthetic high power solar solution into his own showcase home in the foothills of Santa Barbara. The first of many hurdles during the installation process came with educating the county staff about the unique differences of a SunPower Equinox panel.

We were very pleased with Good Energy Solar. Aaron and John were very responsive and did what they said they were going to do. Even when there was some equipment issues, they stood behind their work and thoroughly resolved the issues with the manufacturer. We highly recommend Good Energy. Special shoutout to John who went more than the extra mile to install the battery system.

100% great experience with the team at Good Energy Solar: the honest and informative sales person Kris, the helpful and efficient office person Monika, the hard working installers Robert and Clint, and the owners Aaron and John who remain accessible and supportive, patiently answering all of our questions long after installation. Highest possible recommendation!!

Good Energy Solar recently installed a solar battery as a back up during power outages for our small (and old) Westside home. As another reviewer said, as long as there's sun, we'll have power. Aaron, John, Monika and the entire team were a dream to work with. It took some time to get sign off from the City of Santa Barbara and Edison and then there was Covid. But the job is now completed, and I can't say enough good things about the entire team. They know what they are doing (our old home had lots of quirky problems that are now solved) they have integrity, and provide good

My wife and I can only echo other reviews that point to the high level of competence, efficiency, and timeliness of this very special company. The "team" is highly specialized with designers, technicians, electricians and installers. Monika is the administrative glue behind the scenes...excellent work from all!

Good Energy Solar did a fantastic job adding solar to our home in Mission Canyon. Aaron and team are honest, hard-working and technical experts. Also, if you are considering working with a contractor that handles their own invoicing, etc. you should know that Monika at Good Energy makes sure the finances are handled smoothly.
We spoke with one of the top solar installation companies in the area and they told us with certainty that they could not install solar on our home due to the type of copper roof we have. We appreciated their honesty. My wife did not give up, and found Aaron at Good Solar

We were planning a new home build p on the Westside facing east, and this was to me no ordinary home. We wanted to build a home for what we KNOW is coming! We chose to build a Method Homes modular prefabricated sustainable home, which I modified a lot to be even more sustainable and future-ready. Solar power was a priority. I had panels in our old home in Culver City, 3.5kw, since seven years already, and I'm an industrial designer, so I had a great foundation for choosing a great contractor. I interviewed several, checked some references, and easily chose Aaron and Good Energy Renewables

We went solar last year and had a wonderful experience. Ryan was knowledgeable and approachable throughout the whole process and was able to answer all of our questions. The installers were professional and did a very clean job. We love tracking our production on our smartphones and we haven't had a single issue come up since install. Thanks for helping us go green!

After many years of considering whether we wanted solar panels for our home, we took the plunge. I met the Good Energy team through my business, was impressed with their products and service, and couldn't be happier with the results. We chose a Sunpower system which will provide emergency power in case of an outage. Our breakeven point is 10 years, which I thought was very reasonable, and the feel-good return from green energy is priceless. I highly recommend investing in solar power, and Good Energy is an excellent choice to provide it.

Highly recommend Good Energy Solar. Had a wonderful experience with them when they recently installed our new solar panel system.They did exactly what they said they would do, on time and in a positive manner. They use the best panels, Sunpower; same panels that have been put on the new Apple headquarters building.We have only positive comments to make about Good Energy Solar - no complaints. Go with this local company.

I had a top notch positive experience working with Good Energy Renewables and couldn't be happier! I was very impressed by their knowledge and enthusiasm. They were easy to work with and approachable. Their service was efficient, personable and thorough. They even assessed the condition of my roof which was a major concern of mine. I was pleasantly surprised that the cost was more affordable than I thought. With my solar panels and my electric car, I love knowing that I'm driving on sunshine! I highly recommend Aaron and his crew. You will not be disappointed!

Aaron was the best! Starting with helping us get roof repairs done prior to the solar installation... providing top of the line solar panels, an installation cost way below what anyone else was quoting, easy to work with and always available to answer questions. I'm not sure why anyone would buy solar panels anywhere else.

Good Energy was great to work with. Aaron is very knowledgeable and helpful. He provided contacts for replacing the roof prior to the solar installation. Aaron provided very personal service which has continued even after installation. When my internet connection was lost he quickly called to check on the status of the monitoring system. I value local and personal service, which Good Energy provided. I would urge anyone interested in solar to have a discussion with Aaron.

Aaron, Ryan, and the crew at Good Energy did a great job getting us up and running with a home solar system quickly. They worked with us on the budget while providing us with an efficient, quality system for our small roof. They also installed our electric car charger at an affordable price. We love knowing we're charging our car and powering our house on sun power generated from our roof panels! I'd highly recommend the team at Good Energy for a quality product at a competitive rate.

Aaron Luckett and Good Energy Renewables did a great job for us. He told us his energy production estimates would be conservative and indeed our panels produced quite a bit more than the minimum he predicted. There were no last minute price adjustments. The work went as scheduled and on time. We would, and have, recommended Aaron again.
