Solar Panels for Fremont, CA

Sandbar Solar installed panels for us 8 years ago and did such a good job that we hired them again this fall to double our panel number. They provided excellent... read more service and quality both times.

So excited that I am officially gone solar! Jeremy Pearl at Sandbar Solar & Electric and their team was was fantastic to work with. Jeremy came by in person to... read more assess the job and then again to present the options for me. He explained all the related aspects of the job like panel connectivity and such which was a little challenging due to my townhouse situation. Jocelyn their office project coordinator was prompt and thorough in staying in touch and they handled all the utility paperwork . Their field team very friendly and professional. The install looks great. Once it was all officially turned on, Jeremy came by to ensure I knew how to access the online performance tracking and answer my maintenance questions . So far the system has saved me $670 in electricity costs and it’s only been up since June ! 8.5 year payback on the system with my EV and some Home electrification after the Federal tax credit and I got a 12 month at zero interest loan through their partner company so I can bridge full amount due to when I get the tax credit in 2024. Of the long-standing companies I got bids from (I wanted a firm that would be around if there are warranty issues in the next 20 years), Sandbar was the most cost effective AND I may have selected them regardless due to the exceptional service . Highly recommend! They also have some exciting new offerings that include an onsite battery, (cheaper than full battery backup) that extends the benefits of your system and keeps payback periods low. The only tip I have for customers is to prethink where you want the equipment installed in your garage and such. I did not and regret I did not have them install it a little higher so I could utilize the wall space below differently. These specifics are not something they plan for in advance, and even though the installer checked with me about the location, I hadn't thought it through in advance.

Sandbar recently installed PV panels and battery storage at our house in Santa Cruz and it was a great experience. Our second story roof is steep, so it wasn’t... read more a simple installation and the credible solar specialists seem to have all the work they can handle right now (so don’t expect to have much leverage in pricing and timing). We got three quotes from local companies with great references, one of which was Sandbar. We worked primarily with Jarrett on the spec and the quote. In short, I’d have been happy to have any of three companies do the work, but I found that Jarrett and Sandbar had the best combination of price, scale and demonstrating they cared about our business. The overall experience was great. Jarrett was responsive and “on it” as we figured out scheduling and finalized our spec and details. The crew who figured out the installation details, who did the actual installation and who got everything connected, up and running were all polite, professional and personable. The job site was kept impeccably clean and the crew all treated our house respectfully and were as unobtrusive as possible. Honestly, I have nothing but rave reviews to describe our experience with Sandbar. Bravo. As for the system, it’s awesome to be, basically, grid neutral. It’s also nice to know that we can limp along with power indefinitely (as long as it’s sunny). And our October PG&E power cost (our first full month with the new system) was ($7.00). Yep, we banked seven bucks.

The system Sandbar installed has been up and running for about 8 months. To say that I am pleased with the resulting power bill from our utility company would... read more be an understatement – from $600 to $50. The system is dramatically out performing my expectations. I checked the Solar Edge monitoring system frequently and get a sense of contentment each time.

Everything went great. We couldn't be happier.
