Solar Design

I am a do it yourselfer and was very happy with my experience at sunwatts. I was a little worried about doing such a large transaction over the internet, but I can assure you that this outfit is legit. Prices were as stated, there was no upselling or hidden charges, and follow-through was impeccable. If you are a do it yourselfer, make no mistake about it, this is a big project, but you won't have to deal with any nonsense with sunwatts. Best of all, when you're feeling behind the 8 ball during the course of your installation, you can always rely on prompt responses to your installation questions, even if you're a little embarrassed to have to ask such elementary questions:-)

Our experience has been a great one starting with the professionalism from our sales/engineer to the product we received. Being a novice at solar their customer service has helped us through every little question I could come up with. The plans they drew up with were so professional that I was granted a permit with ease. The shipping people were professional and on time.when it came time to install the friends who were employed by a company that installs solar were impressed not only by the plans/instructions given to me but the components that were supplied for installation as well as the PV system. I shopped every site and had quotes from multiple companies. All in all i saved an estimated 15-20 thousand dollars by going with sunwatts.com and brag about it every day.

I shopped around and researched for 2 months for 6.5 kW DIY PV system. I was very pleased with the response time (phone and email), information, and service from the company. During the permitting process I got help from the company after I had paid my bill in full. With the helpful advice and design service from Sun Watts I think I got the system components that best suit the harsh climate I live in.

I am a degree'd engineer, a former carpenter, and now regular homeowner. I bought an 11.3kW system from sunwatts to mostly self install and can only describe it as a leg set for adults! Yes a certified electrician will check everything over and derate my main breaker/buss, I'm not a fool, otherwise self installing. Everything was included except $50 worth of conduit, the wiring from the combiner box to the inverter and the wiring to tie in to my house's electrical panel. After sale support was also first class. From order to delivery was barely a week, and I live 2000 miles from California. Very impressed! Best prices on the internet and first class design, order fulfillment and support!

Sizing and up front engineering was perfect with no issues. Installation drawings and submittal to the City for permitting were spot on with no problems. Material delivery was the only snag, Not all of the material was shipped on the original order, Once phone call was made, they corrected and sent the balance of the material. personnel for were always available by phone and ready to discuss. Please so far. Finished the installation on my own and going for the city final inspection this week. Enphase Envoy system for tracking system performance works great and able to track each solar panel's performance.

great service, made application for permits easy and very porfessional. Was so helpful we will be able to order more for our friends, may make a business out of this. sunwatts is terrific with questions and follow up. Thank you

Thank you for our solar! It was an incredible learning process and empowering to have done it ourselves. We are overjoyed that it was successful. We still can't believe we actually built a ground mounted solar array with 60 Canadian panels. I still vividly remember our first conversation. I gave you a hard time because I didn't actually believe we could do it ourselves. I asked you so many questions, and I was so skeptical of the whole situation. You were so patient and answered my endless inquires. You have saved us so much money, and made our hopes to have solar a reality. Your support throughout the process was beyond our expectations. I still can't figure out how you were always available on the phone no matter what time or day of the week it was. You have redefined what customer service is. In fact, you have inspired me to serve my own customers better based on my experiences with sunwatts.com.

The design drawing package is excellent. It covers all the items with detail information. All the items are laid out by NEC, building and local codes accordingly. The process to get a permit at the county permit department was very easy and simple without any problem. As a current electrical design engineer I recommend this company for designing solar PV systems to everyone who is seeking that kind of work.

This company handled all the details. They were professional and responsive every step of the way. I would recommend them to anyone considering solar. We had gotten quotes from several contractors and were surprised at how expensive they were. These guys did it all for a lot less. They handled the plans, permits, a professional crew and inspection. They were only working on-site for a day and half, but overall it took about 6 weeks for city approvals and utility before we could turn it on. I was nervous about their guys working on the spanish tile roof, but they did a really nice job, repaired a few things and even painted the pipes to match the roof. Only complaint is that I could have used a little more training about the monitoring software, but i figured it out eventually. Happy to report that we have had two months of basically no power bills and the system is producing as expected.

I had great experience with this company. Great value for the money. Returns phone calls and e-mails promptly. The solar permit design has a lot of good information especially when dealing with inspectors. They provided all the engineering details for the ironridge ground mount. I am going recommend this company to anyone who is thinking about a solar project.

Overall, a good experience with sunwatts, who was very helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions. The permit plans were done fast and professionally.

I want to compliment this company for being so organized responsive, knowledgeable and honest...I got what I payed for and their customer service.. was instrumental in giving me the right amount of panels, drawings I needed to submit to the city etc....trust was proven over and over again with experienced advice!!!
