Never got it done because would not give angies list 5% coupon.
Description of Work: Got estimate for panels and I asked for the angies list 5% coupon and they refused to give discount:(. Called Angieslist to follow up on why this is and now over a month and no response. Company does not honor coupon. Was told no further discounts could be given to me, I found the same panels from different company and they were less expensive for panels that were better than quote from this company, beware,

I explored several companies and options , including leasing vs purchasing. For my situation, purchasing was the right thing to do since it was the only way to capture the tax credit and not get locked into a multi-decade lease coupled with overly restrictive and expensive terms and conditions associated with leasing. American Solar had a competitive price, great service, and a simple, explicit contract; simply stated - a turnkey solution. At every phase of the project, they were easy to deal with. Installation was completed in one day. The city inspector signed off a few days latter. I had a PGE permit to operate within two weeks after the install was completed. American Solar in Sausalito used all high end components coupled with excellent manufactures warranty. I’d strongly recommend them to customers looking to purchase, and not lease, a solar solution.

Response from American Solar Corporation
Hello [Member Name Removed]: We are truly gratified that everything went well, but more importantly that we see eye to eye on the benefits of ownership versus leasing. We never tire of emphasizing how much better people do with ownership. To actually get the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit is great first of all, but also the savings are so much better on the cost per kiloWatt hour. Best, Tor
