PowerHouse Solar

Good luck with this local company, they are horrible! Spoke to a salesman briefly on the phone, set up an appointment for a follow up call and a home meeting. On the phone the only thing the salesman could tell me about their product was that «we are really expensive»…over and over again. Came time for the follow up call… still waiting after 2 months! Never heard from them again. Called, left messages, NOTHING! It seems these local solar companies are so arrogant that they feel customers should beg them to do business. Ended up going with a different company that actually cared about customer service.

Ron and I just told a man to get off of our property.
Richard Long of Powerhouse Solar was giving us a bid for solar panels this morning. He wanted us to pay him $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 to use his very special solar panels that you can not buy anywhere but from him. Everything was real cordial and professional until he said that a company went out of business because of our wonderful President.
I asked him if he really thought our president was wonderful?
He scoffed and replied that he hated our president, at the same exact precise moment I started rolling my blueprints up and told him he just lost my bid. Ron said told him to get off of our property and keep his politics to himself.
As he drove off with his fish decal on the back of his car I thought to myself how can a hater can call themselves a Christian.
So no, I do not recommend Power House Solar because he has no business etiquette.

We would (and have) highly recommend Power House solar and the installation of PV systems… we are absolutely thrilled with our unit installed by PowerHouse. We just had Bruce and his assistant out to give us an estimate on increasing the capacity (since we have now added a hot tub & like never having a PG&E bill… we want to keep it that way) and installing heat pump water heater. We had Bruce and his crew install our original 3.4Kw Photovoltaic system and inverter on our house 2 years ago & we could not be happier. His company helped us with all the rebate, etc, paperwork & made it very, very easy for us. The crew he had install, which worked over the holidays to make the end of the tax year deadline, were professional, nice and very pleasant young men. Both of us have worked in the California desert, where we managed organizations with PV/​Solar and were off-​grid. We have extensive experience in dealing with batteries and generators and know the inherent issues that are simply present in those systems… that’s why we are thrilled we are tied into the grid and don’t have to worry about the extra. My husband is always showing people his iPad/​iPhone app that give an instant readout to the amount of power currently generating by our system.

I have recently had the pleasure of doing business with Powerhouse Solar for a solar system on my house in Marysville Ca. The salesman, Jake Beaton, was very helpful in obtaining a lease for my system as my credit was not the greatest and then we had some difficulties with the size of my roof not accommodating the size of system I needed so they did lots of research to obtain me the most production for the size of my roof, The installers, Garrett Rogers and Scott Dyer, were very professional throughout the entire installation process. I would highly recommend Powerhouse solar for all you solar need

Powerhouse has recently replaced a faulty Inverter and relay at the manufacturers expense, and have put forth an honest effort to resolve the existing problems and repair perceived poor customer service/​relations.
While the system may not work as I expected, it does work — providing plenty of clean PV energy.
