After extensive research & sitting on the fence for years about solar, we finally decided on Planet Solar. The owners Marilyn & Ben Siebert were very easy to work with, answered sooo many questions, and gave us a better deal than their competitors. They also had no black marks on their company with the Better Business Bureau (unlike the other guys). We ended up with high-quality panels, that were professionally installed by their crew. One of the things that we greatly appreciate is that they took the extra effort to not run ugly conduit across our roof and up our walls, and painted the mounts to match our Spanish tile. We were in agreement that we should install the panels on a rack on the back of our house, for aesthetics, and also since we have quite a few palm trees in the front that shade the front of the house. Even though we have a south-facing home, you cannot see the 28 solar panels from the front of the house! They were able to secure low-cost financing for us, and, even before we get our Federal rebate, our payments are about what we were paying for our SCE Level Pay plan. Once we get our rebate next year at tax time, we will be able to re-amortize the loan, if we desire, and lower the payment. We only pay a $10 monthly fee to SCE to be on the grid. We may even end up with a rebate check from SCE after 1 year. We plan to accelerate payments to our solar loan to pay it off early & have free electricity!!! Installing solar ended up being a no-brainer!!!
