See comments above.

Great looking and performing system. Electrical usage and bill dropped the anticipated 80-85%. Puntual and polite crew.

I got them through Angie's List. We were very happy with them. I would recommend them and use them again in the future. They were very professional, they came did the work and cleaned up after themselves. My husband has been monitoring daily to see whether we were spilling power back to PG&E or whether we are using the solar power. Everything seems to be working fine; it's been working the way they indicated it would. We are very happy with them. I think their price was pretty standard. I wasn't familiar with what the pricing was for panels. We did check with a couple of places and they were in the ball park so I think their pricing was fine. I didn't know them until I went to Angie's List.

It was an excellent interaction. They were very knowledgeable. I actually liked them a lot.

They did make a couple mistakes but they corrected them.

The experience has been superb. I am getting four bids. It took a little bit of effort to get in touch with someone who finally got back with me, but once I did get assigned to a person, he has been wonderfully responsive. He has been very helpful and answered all my questions in a very professional and fast manner. I have two bids so far and theirs is better than the first one for a comparable system.

I was personally very interested in solar because our household output could be $500 a month during certain months of the year. Our heat is gas, but we have a pool which requires a circulating pump and at the time an elderly parent was with us, who ran an electric heater in her room, 24 -7. We have TVs, computers and I think are pretty good with turning off lights etc. But when we have guests, they stay in a part of the house heated by electricity, so holidays pushed the usage and costs up dramatically. Anyhow, at Costco one day, REC solar was presenting information and I talked with the sales rep. Dan Camacho and set a date for him to visit my husband and me at our home. We were not a hard sale because I personnally believe that if you are able to invest in an alternative source of energy, then we should help ourselves and our community in this manner. Our good intentions will definitely pay off financially in the end, because our system, which supplied 75%of our annual use during 2009, cost $54,000. After a PG&E rebate of $11,400 and a tax rebate of $12,000 for 2009, the system ends up costing us about $30,000. Our electric bill for all of 2009 was about a quarter of what we spent the previous year. We will have recouped our expense in less than 10 years with our system then providing most of our electricity for free. The amount of carbon dioxide that has not gone into the atmosphere because of one household using solar for one year is an unbelievable 10 tons. I was so pleased with our encounter with REC Solar that I arranged a neighborhood meeting and from our association of 42 homes, 6 other homeowners signed on with REC. The entire experience was very smooth and professional taking about 4 weeks from start to finish. The system has been operating for over a year now and there have been no problems. I did need to have some tiles replacedl on my roof, which may have been damaged during the installation. The roofer was very impressed with the installation and remarked that it was the best looking installment he had observed. I was glad to hear this, but I had looked at REC photos of other installations and I thought they all looked fine. I recommend soalr panels and I highly recommend REC Solar as a company to work with.

They were fine. They were knowledgeable and responsive. Their price was competitive.

REC Solar did an excellent job overall installing solar panels at my home in San Francisco. The solar installation (8 Evergreen panels, with a total A/C output of 1.2kW) was by many accounts modest, and when I was pricing it, most other solar installers wouldn't even be interested in giving me a quote. REC Solar not only gave me a quote, but they treated me like one of their most important customers, always answered questions to my satisfaction, and often going above and beyond to make sure that the overall process went as smoothly as possible for me. They did a great job explaining the rebate process, the timelines, who would contact me when, how long it would take, etc. They were even upfront about the fact that, due to the small size of my solar installation, it would take a long time for it to break even (this didn't deter me, instead I appreciated the refreshing honesty). The installation process itself went very well. The contractors showed up when they said they would, the work was first rate, they were done quickly, and in general the communication process was excellent. The solar system works very well, it behaves exactly as per spec, and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely use REC solar again, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.

They were completely professional. They phoned when they said they would, showed up when they were supposed to and did a very good job. The panel installation was quick and very nicely done. They worked with us to supply our panels through a wholesale store, which meant an additional savings. They've continued to stay in contact, even though the installation is finished, just to be sure we're still happy (we are!) and to answer any questions. Altogether a good company and a good experience.

This company came out and did a very good job for us, for a very good price. The installers that came out were very punctual and they did a great clean up job and the system is working great.

I was completely satisfied with the REC Solar process from end to end. I obtained estimates from two solar power vendors, as advised by the state solar initiative website. Both companies recommended a 3 kW system, and REC came in at a lower price with some advantages such as stainless-steel mounting hardware compared to galvanized materials. The people I dealt with were completely professional and responded immediately to a number of detailed technical questions. The contract and services were clearly explained as was the state solar initiative rebate and rebate on federal income taxes. The return on investment was discussed as well as the option to partner with a company who would own and service the system. This would have significantly reduced my up-front investment, but I opted to own the unit. There was a 90-100 day backlog of work when I signed the contract, but the work began a few weeks before the original estimate date and was finished on-time in about one week. The utility company requires up to 6 working weeks to approve connection of the system and to install a digital power meter, but this happened two weeks after the work was completed. The system operates perfectly, remote monitoring of output with the WebBox is very convenient, and the system produces slightly more than 100% of my daily power requirements (even in late October). There have been no problems.

All work was done very well and ahead of schedule. The REC guys were exceedingly courteous and easy to work with at all times - from sales to engineering to installation to permitting. Their estimates of system size, configuration, and schedule turned out to be spot on. We didn't have to do anything, and a couple months after installation (August 2008) the system is generating maybe a little more electricity than we were expecting.

REC was very professional throughout the entire process, from estimating to scheduling the local power company, and the panel installation itself. They had the system up and running flawlessly sooner than projected, and we were very pleased with the quality of the work. The crews were very sensitive to our requests and completed the job in less time than expected. We were part of the community program, and got all available rebates and discounts to lower the total price, and had all of our questions answered well in advance of making a decision on the system. Marni Kamzan did a terrific job of organizing the program and simplifying the whole process to make our decision to go with REC an easy one. We could not be happier with our decision or the system! Thanks REC!
