I DID NOT BUY FROM THEM and glad I didn't. They custom designed a system for saying this would cover 100% of my PG&E electrical bill. What they didn't tell me is they don't know how to properly size for PG&E customers. What they don't know or tell me is that PG&E buys excess solar electricity in the day for $0.52 kWhr and then in the evening I can buy that same kWhr back in the day for $0.12 when demand is lower and PG&E lowers the rate. I did install solar from a different company and only had to buy half as many panels as this company told me I needed. Even with a system half the size they told me I needed I'm still over producing in the winter. Remember if your system is over-sized all of that electricity your system over produces is given to the power company for free. If I would have purchased the system they recommended not only would I have spent nearly $8,000 too much on solar panels I would be giving close to $3, 000 of electricity to the power company for free.
