Meets standard for solar power

Speed 4 / Price 2 / Quality 3

I recently managed the contract for our two field offices to be converted to solar. We selected Solar City due to size of the company, expected long term service and local headquarters. They job was performed as requested and with minimal headache. The inverters and panels appear to be decent quality, but cannot vouch for their long term durability. Standard roof mount racks. Cannot do custom installations or tracking systems.

Strengths: For a large corporation, they are reasonable to deal with. We do business in the same locale as the corporate head quarters, so this may be a factor in the quality of the company. We negotiated a contract for solar panel installation at two of our field offices. Decent sized crew, arrived as promised and completed the job in a reasonable amount of time. Clean up was adequate.

Needs to improve: Not cheap. I believe the source Chinese panels, so potentially lower quality. Do not seem good with custom or outside the box systems.

We have purchased solar panels through solar city to use to allow us to keep or power bill down while using renewable power. When we purchase Solar City products, they come at a make a custom estimate for what the project will be, and then they plan your product from there on accordingly. They are truly great at customer service and in house expertise and really do help you with anything a customer would need. They install the panels very fast, and make sure they are up and running within a few weeks. The only negative thing I have found is that panels have a high price. Other tan that, I highly highly recommend them for solar panels.

Strengths: Solar Products and cells are easily installed.
Fast Installation

we contracted our solar panel work to solar city from numerous recommendations from other small business owners we know. the technology they use is innovative and state-of-the-art. their design is very sleek as i have seen other solar panels on other roofs that look clunky and distracting. since using solar city, there has been a tremendous amount of savings for our company although the initial investment to use solar city and installment was very pricey. they have an in-house team and local installers that take care of the project from the beginning steps to the final set up.

Strengths: renewable energy, solar panels, solar power, sleek design, local company

Needs to improve: costly

Our company is looking to invest heavily in solar panel installations to increase sustainable energy and take advantage of various tax benefits. The people at solar city are very knowledgeable about all the benefits to businesses as they appear to have extensive experience guiding companies through solar implementation. The project and product that are being presented by solar city is very well thought out, and the installation, management, service, and financing plans have our company heading in their direction. Would recommend if your company is looking to go into solar installations as many companies are.

Strengths: Leader in solar in the area, great support and knowledgeable staff

Needs to improve: none so far
