What Customers Say About Us
-
Working with Sandbar was great. They were significantly cheaper than other bids we received, finished our project quickly, and answered all of our questions. The installation was so fast that they finished it in one day before our young child's afternoon nap. The entire team was friendly and helpful. They made everything so easy for us. Can't recommend them highly enough.

5/16/2017 About five years ago I decided to get solar panels on my home. I chose to go with Sandbar Solar after carefully considering three other solar installers in Santa Cruz. I'm really glad I did. The PV installation process was smooth from start to finish. My energy bill went down significantly. I recommend Sandbar to all my friends who live in the Central Coast and San Francisco Bay Area. These guys have been around for a long time, they're pros! Ana Zaiduni
9/09/2019 We are in the market for solar panels and I recently called Sandbar Solar for a quote. August was supposed to come to our house and emailed me last minute to cancel. Then my husband went there to ask them for a quote and we never received one. Its strange to be a customer chasing a company down so they can sell you something. Customer service is a two.
Update*
After talking with Kristi my husband and I feel that all of the issues we had have been resolved. This company is represented by professional people who do care about the experience you have while making this important purchase. We are now definitely considering going with Sandbar Solar for our home.

3/22/2020 We decided to install a solar system on our small Aptos home this year. After meeting with several local and bay area solar businesses. We chose Sandbar. They were friendly, professional and, most importantly, very knowledgable. They spent as much time as needed explaining the process (sitting around a picnic table in masks). They worked with us to decide on the appropriate size. They also helped us replace the electrical panel which was not up to code.
They did a totally outstanding job and it was painless for us. Every person we interacted with was friendly and professional. There wasn't one hiccup. They came and went pretty independently and we were impressed with how each person was really good at their job. They have their process down tight. They arranged the permits and inspections with minimal input from us. All and all, it was a very positive experience.
I have confidence that if we were to have any issues, they will be around a long time and will be available to help us. We made the right choice with Sandbar Solar.

1/27/2021 Working with Sandbar was excellent. We were kept informed about every step. I have not had the installation long enough to learn how much I am saving. Will have to give final evaluation after the :tru-up " bill.

7/20/2017 - The provided a quality product at a good price. They were easy to work with and the system has been working flawlessly. This is the second system I have installed and it is producing better than my first one, and they are the same size systems. The micro inverters let's you know how much each panel is generating so it is easy to see if there is a problem with a panel. Happy to answer any questions about my system.

I want to a send big thank you to the salesman Sean Thiel, who let me talk him into me getting this great investment. He was very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Alicia Moss did a wonderful job co-ordinating installation. Thank you Will Crick for the clean and efficient work done on site.Got my even up billing from PGE, and just as planned, they owed me money.Great job everyone. I strongly recommend anyone wanting to have a system installed, to give Sandbar Solar & Electric a call.
