APG Solar
I've worked with lots of contractors in building hospitals, and the barn, and I've never had people be so courteous to my clients or me with horses. I don't feel that our safety with horses is jeopardized at all because they are very well aware of safety, . The contractor was very professional, his employees were very professional, and I recommend him to anyone considering installing a PV system.

Brent has installed systems on both my home and one of my commercial buildings. His workmanship is first class, the materials are the best available, and the system design is outstanding. APG Solar has earned an A+ rating with me. I am very happy with my decision to go with APG Solar and i'm even more happy I chose APG.

Friendly service from start to finish and my system is great. The installation was customized to my needs and I could not be more satisfied. I recommend APG Solar to all my friends.

Services
We believe our first responsibility is to our customer, without whom our business could not exist. We must provide the highest level of customer service in the industry, before and after the sale. We must be prompt, accurate and courteous. We must offer the best quality products available at competitive prices.
Use the power of the sun to generate electricity, immediately deploy that energy into your appliances, and reduce your dependence on the electrical utility. Solar for your business results in lower electric bills and gives you the opportunity to claim accelerated depreciation on the system.
The energy assessment analyzes your home's orientation to the sun as well as the amount of electricity your home uses throughout the year. This tells us how many panels your home needs and where they should be placed to get the most sun and meet your home's energy needs. Most homes have enough roof space to meet their energy needs, but some home have little space for solar due to tree shade or multiple dormers breaking up the roof line.
At APG Solar we pride ourselves on patiently answering all of your questions, providing you with information and recommendations, and thoroughly explaining the benefits of your solar system. It is our goal to provide you with a great installation that benefits you financially and improves the quality of your life.
We want to thank everyone involved with having our APG Solar installed, including Lloyd, Brent, the GREAT CREW that worked so hard to get our solar system in place and ready to go, also Coleby, available, just a phone call away, if we had any questions. Christina came by later, to check the installed solar system, and to make sure we understood, what we needed to know, and what to expect.

I went through a lot of Solar quotes before I came across Darren at APG Solar. He sounded the most legitimate and sincere about his product. They not only upgraded my electrical panel and installed 20 solar panels on our roof. They were very professional about their work and a very friendly and informative crew doing the installation. Everything passed inspection the first time. I would definitely recommend APG for your solar needs

We have just had APG install a Solar System. They were a highly professional and knowledgeable group. Everything was explained in detail and the workers completed the installation in only a few hours. I recommend them without reservation.

We have been running strong for a couple of weeks, producing lots of KWHs.

I'm so glad I found APG Solar and they contacted me first of all the vendors I reached out to.



I got solar to take advantage of the federal tax credit and because I live in Oakdale and it gets really hot in the summer. I wanted to run my AC without having to worry. I did go online to the PG&E and used their solar estimator to figure out how much solar we needed. I also read the California Solar Consumer Protection Guide.



I began looking at Yelp for LOCAL solar providers. I also googled local solar providers. I reached out by email to 4 local solar providers. APG immediately gave

Process was great, almost like they weren't even here. Installers were professional, courteous, and even helped us get the cat down from the attic. Alfonso Cervantes helped me with the process, and I have to say APG Solar is a great company to work with. I recommend you go through them.

I called APG for information about a lease for solar panels and was so appreciative of the information I received. Even though I didn't purchase panels from them their receptionist that answered the phone was so nice and caring answering questions for me until someone could call me back. Darren called me back the same day and spent time listening to me not only answering my questions but also giving me sound advice for my situation. He was professional, patient, and didn't try to sell me on something I did not need. It was like an old school way of doing things and that's was missing nowadays!

I was in the market for solar energy. I had done some research and gotten 4 quotes from different solar companies. The quotes were way over my budget. Until I found APG solar. APG solar were friendly and honest. Darren answered all my questions and informed me of some misinformation from the other solar companies. There quote was a lot more affordable then the other 4 solar companies I had talk to. There installer team were amazing. They found a better way to install the system then we had talk about. The project was up and running ahead of schedule. Everything from the beginning to the end went

I couldn’t have made a better choice than going with APG Solar! Excellent customer service and knowledge about my solar needs. Thank you to Darren and the APG crew for making the process nice and smooth. Also purchased a whole house fan which has been a blessing in the super hot months of the California heat! If you need solar these are the guys to use! Keep up the good work fellas!

As out of town owners of a rental, it's sometimes difficult to find quality people and companies for maintenance and work. I always try to find a locally owned company rather than the big corporate guys. I called a friend who just had solar installed on his house and he immediately recommended APG without reservation. Not knowing a lot about Solar and installation, I followed his advice, called and spoke with Darren. I am so glad I did! I told him Solar was not my expertise and that I was looking mainly for information. When the call was finished, I knew I had found the company I wanted to

APG installed our Solar this October 2019. We are very pleased with their services. The Sales Representative Alfonso Cervantes was very friendly. He’s very easy to talk to. He answered all our questions and a very very honest person. Solar was a new thing to us but Alonso took his time and making sure we understood it before we sign anything ( which, we appreciated that very much). When he didn’t know the answer (s) or was not sure of it, he would get back to us In a short time. We like it that they are local.

APG Solar just installed a system at my home. From the very beginning they were very professional. They requested information about power consumption and they took measurements of solar resource availability and shading. They suggested a couple of alternatives and provided cost and performance predictions. They also provided the estimated timing of completion of the project. During the installation, there were a few issues that had not been anticipated, but they took the time to resolve each one of them. They completed the installation and got the approval of the system on time and before the end

After a lot of research and getting a couple of quotes with several area solar energy business we decided to go with APG Solar. Darren Smith explained the who, what, where, when, why and how to our level of understanding(which is pre-k when it comes to tech stuff). I can still reach out after several months of having our system installed(which by the way we are very happy with)and he will still answer any of my questions. Thank you and your team for stepping up to the service. Bottom line, contact Darren if you are interested in learning more about going solar.

What can I say. APG Solar rocks and Darren Smith is fantastic to work with. Darren was super responsive and met with us within days of contacting APG Solar. He answered all of our questions, addressed all of our concerns. What is super cool is Darren nailed it when he calculated our energy needs, even though we had just moved into a brand new house with no energy usage history. Darren then was with us every step of the process... from the initial conversation, to going over the contract, navigated the MID obstacles, to the permitting process all the way through the install.

APG installed n setup Solar systems on my Rental n Residential home. Their Salesman, Darren, n installation team were great in explaining what to expect on overall productivity. Also my Rental home needed a new roof before panel install. Straightedge roofing did the job, again with expertise. I recommend both companies for future jobs

APG Solar has been the solar company that I have recommended since I learned to know them some years ago. They completed a system on my own property back about 5 years ago which has performed beautifully. I now am using them to install additional panels to my current system. They are professional, fair, and honest. I highly recommend them for all your solar needs. Darren was the salesman that I used and he led me through each step of the process so I understood each and every phase.

From the very first meeting with Alfonso to the completion of the solar project with the "okay" from the City, APG Solar was a pleasure to do business with. Friendly, professional, patient with questions and concerns regarding solar were words that I use when people asked me about my experience. The workers were always on time ready to work with smiles. My system has been up and running since May. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Alfonso, Chris, Ryan and all the rest of you that worked on this project.

Nothing but good things about this company! My family and I had an issue with solar panels that were installed on our house, the original company left us on the back burner after the installation and didn't see the process finished all the way through. We waited on them for a couple years before taking matters into our hands, that's when we called APG solar. They helped us finish the process in just a couple weeks, and the price was more than fair! Everyone we talked to was super friendly and helpful, and the best part is we always felt like they knew exactly what they were doing and

Mr. Jerner,

I first want to thank you and your team of talented and highly qualified solar professionals for helping me out of a potentially very costly bind.
I made a huge mistake by not going to your company first for my solar investment but instead took the "Bait" and allowed a new startup, Modern Solar (Owned by Jason Culver, and others), to sell me and install my system. They were a new company with lofty promises. Little did I know that they would not only cost me my rebate money (due to shoddy paperwork and no service after the sale) but would also soon be out of business

The Good: We took a 500 to 800 electric bill down to about 2 dollars a month. Being a local company, they are sensitive to the reputation they have locally.
Could be better: They will stand behind their work, but a solar system is likely to go through a process at the beginning with hiccups. You will need to think long term regarding ironing out the wrinkles of the initial setup. I will keep this review updated to let folks know how it is going.

After hard wiring the online monitoring of the system (wireless wasn't dependable) all is good. We have gone about 2-3 months
