Great service. We have a 30 year old pool which seemed to be always cold. Installed the solar so we could enjoy the pool more. We had to get a variable speed pump which was another added expense however hopefully are electric bill will go down a bit. Now the pool is averaging between 83 to 88 degrees. Dennis, the owner is a great guy to work with.

See above, I put it all in the above paragraph.
Description of Work: installed solar heating for pool 9yrs ago and does not stand behind their warranties and service. The system never did work right and over the years had numerous service calls (cost about $135 ++ each time) the system never did work properly. First the thermostat didn't work, then the auto valves ,Latest is the panels have holes. They always claim the parts are not covered because of some reason. The panels they said were not covered because of a poor filter on the pump. I have my pool serviced by a very competent contractor who claims that the filter was cleaned twice a year, wit any holes patched or the element replaced. Solar P is very hard to deal with- they are always right and won't compromise on anything-all they do is quote extreme repair/replace prices. My system is useless and I have spent all this money for nothing- stay away from SP!!!

I would advise anyone who is thinking of using this company to reconsider because in my opinion they stole my money.
Description of Work: The solar system they installed a few years ago was leaking. I called to have someone come out to repair the leak. Service guy came to the house and after checking it out told me that there was not a problem. I was dumbfounded as the fact was every time I went to use the spa water would literally cascade from the roof. I was charged i think around 150.00. When the system ran normally there was leakage but not as much as when I switched over to use the spa. I called them back and the lady who manages the office told me I was remiss in not explaining originally about the difference in the amount of water the system would leak when i went to use the spa. I was confused because i thought the service guy would normally switch the system from daily use to spa use as part of the inspection to determine where the leaks were coming from. I wasn't at home the first time they came by. So I called again and made another service appointment for a time when I would be at home. Now a different guy came and after being up on the roof told me again that there isn't any problem he could find to fix. It would be an understatement to say I was disappointed in the outcome of two service calls performed by this supposedly reputable business. Of course my credit card wa charged again for the second service call. So after two service calls I was out about 300.00 and still had not had the system repaired. After again speaking with the office manager I was extremely frustrated to find out that she adamantly refused to refund my money. Because of this experience I just turned off the system completely. Can't use the spa or heat the pool because of the leaks. This was absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in regards to repair work. I'm stuck with this result as i'm too old to get up on the roof myself and I am leery of trusting anyone else to make the repairs.After all if the company that installed the system can't fix the problem how can I trust anyone else to do the job? It amazes me that this company can still be in business.

Description of Work: This company is first class. They came in after another company had lied to us for over two months. they installed our new system in one day. It works like a top, better than promised. I did not like one of the runs they had done and they came and re-routed the pipe and did not charge us! Don't go to anyone else.

They got the pannels up in less than a day. They explained to me how everything worked. Whenever I would ask a question I got a good answer. Everything is working fine. I am very pleased with the service.

After initially installing system and changing the setting on my pool pump, the connections expanded and were not working correctly. Had to hire an outside contractor to fix the problem because they would not accept responsibility. After a few months the system began leaking from house roof. They repaired leaks. System leaked again in other places on roof and leaks repaired by Performance. After third or fourth leak problem requested Performance to remove the system and reimburse me for the reusable parts. They offered me $250 for a system tht contains nine 10 feet by 4 feet solar collectors (one of which was replaced by them because of leaking). I rejected their offer and filed a complaint with the Contractors State License Board in January, 2010. To date the problem has not been resolved.

They installed the pool pump and pipes in a bizarre manner. We had to get them to install it again. They even tried something illegal with us. They took our credit card number and wanted to charge us right away. It took us months of fighting and when they charged the credit card, they charged us three times. We had to inform them that it was illegal and we notified everybody. After thirty six hours they backed down. They refused to wait for the roofing guys and they messed up the installation. They ran pipes up into the eaves rather than go through the eaves and as a result our pool pump efficiency went down about 20-30 percent.
Description of Work: The solar heating company initially installed the pool pump in May-June 2008 and corrected the installation in March or April this year.

A couple of days later the company rep arrived and told me that he was there to sell me a replacement system. He said the system was too old to repair but he could replace all the panels for about $5,000. I asked him again to just sell me a repair kit, or send someone to repair the panel. He said he would try to get a repair tech to come out, but I never heard from them again. I contacted the panel manufacturer (Fafco) again and they said they had systems out there for over 20 years, and they were still going strong. They said they had plenty of repair kits but couldn't sell me one directly. They then referred me to an alternate representative in Laguna, CA who sold me a repair kit for $50 and I received in in two days. It appeared that Performance Solar had no intention of repairing my solar system, any only wanted to sell me an expensive replacement. I repaired the panel myself (a pretty low tech procedure)and the system is now running fine.
Description of Work: I have a solar heating system on my pool. When one of my panels sprung a leak, I contacted the solar panel manufacturer (Fafco Solar) to see if it was under warranty. They said it was under warranty for 10 years, but since it was 12 years old, it was not covered. They referred me to Solar Performance in Escondido, their representative in the San Diego area. I called Performance Solar and asked them if they could provide a solar repair kit, or repair the panel. They said they had no solar repair kits (said they couldn't get them from the manufacturer), but they would send out a representative to check out my system. I told them I didn't need my system checked out, just needed a repair done on a panel.
